the one thing i have for McCain and against Obama is war. Its a huuuuuuge topic, if not the biggest (now that clinton is out, i would say healthcare isnt as high anymore). McCain is very clear about what he will do with the war.
Obama however states that he will take troops out, 1 or 2 divisions at a time, and be gone in 16 months. this will somehow help the iraqi govt because it will give them responsibility and make them actually try to establish laws. Iraq needs to make dramatic changes for its citizens in order to survive, including a constitution. how do they do this with no help defending themselves from terrorists?
if in the past iraq has been completely taken over and controlled, and now that the war has started, Al-Qaeda has moved into Iraq, how will leaving help? Obama wants to work more on diplomacy and talking to nations about peace instead of acting. He says we dont talk to our allies enough and need to get them involved. they left, they dont want to be involved dude.
he also plans on gettin involved in many other countries conflicts with eachother such as the turkish and kurdish, getting saudi arabia to stop letting terrorists into iraq. why fuck with the country who many believe is the most powerful in the world right now. with the price of oil skyrocketing for the entire world and most of it being in one place, why would u try to fuck with them? he's talked about how Osama has setup new bases in Pakistan, and how we should stop that. iran is a problem because they have terrorists and nukes, so lets get involved with them too.
Why leave a war that we've spent so much money on, to go and get involved in others? im honestly not so prowar, but when a candidate wants to give benefits, more support, and train troops properly and get this overwith and leave iraq with atleast some hope of becoming an established, governed country, and the other candidate wants to leave them to figure it out on their own wen they clearly cant do that and wants to get involved with all these other world problems, sit back and try to talk to people, i have to go with McCain. sitting back and talking hasn't worked in the past, and with the technology today, i wouldnt want to see the aftermath of just sitting around trying to talk to people
