I have no idea what Obamas doing, and I asked the same thing, is he a warmonger?
I don't see the difference between him and McCain, they both desire occupancy in other countries, which is fine if it's to keep this country safe, but doesn't that contradict what Obama's been saying all along? Part of the reason he’s the Dem. nom. is his "I'll bring the troops home" line. Now that he's got what he wanted, NOW he changes his mind. Talk about deceiving the American public.

We have business in every region of the world that is why its called a global war on terror not a regional war on terror. He never actually promised to bring all the troops home at once. What he meant by this comment and this is just a guess that the U.S. has other parts of the world to worry about than the middle east and we must not just concentrate on the middle east. We are a GLOBAL power with other threats like Russia and China in the eventual future.

Demboy, that is just a play on words, I am looking at the whole phrase and putting it into context by how it reads. Do you really believe that Obama and his PR people would let him say anything without a clear and concise message? I'm just wondering if you read the phrase in simplicity because it says "tough, smart and principled national security strategy, one that recognizes that we have interests that lie beyond Baghdad", and he then lists the other nations. What have we to do with London, Berlin, Beijing, or Tokyo? These maybe our allies but they have their own capable military for their own national security.
I'm glad you admit it is a war on terror, though I have never seen you write in either respect, and if Obama is looking to the eventual future... then why don't we strike now, that is if it is eventual?
Anyway... the whole point is that there is a huge play on words from Obama and the similarity between the campaigning of Hitler and Obama, that is on promising change and people following or ignoring his potential because of his charismatic way of projecting his image and his speech. We can't trust or allow someone to lead because they promise us what we want to hear.

On January 30th, 2008, Obama proposed legislation in the Senate to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by March 31, 2008.

We can also throw in the Vietnam war, run by politicians and a ruined and morally defeated military because of it.

the war in Vietnam was totally winnable ..it was LBJ who was a great president except for this reason he caved in to the thinking of scumbag liberals like Jane Fonda who kept calling our fighting men baby killers the liberal media then over blew everything and made our soldiers to look like heartless killers..and when they werent killing babies or burning villages they were getting killed ..we caved in to the VC and stopped the bombing that was totally effective and was turning things our way..if we had kept it up and LBJ listened to his generals instead of a bunch of idiot liberal hippies the war would have been won or at the worst ended as it did in Korea and our soldiers would have come back to the respect they deserved just for serving win lose or draw instead of spit on by a ungrateful nation ..it was the most shameful time in American history and no apologies or monuments can ever say I'm sorry enough..and now we are reliving it again with the likes of coward liberals trying to control our military instead of leaving it up to the ones who have the real knowledge but at least this time we have a chance to change things ..thats the change we should be talking about ..liberals are wrong have always been wrong and will always be wrong..support our troops

What if the generals say we cant leave Iraq for atlest 5 years? What would Obama say?

What if the generals also give Obama the troop build down in Iraq, but tells him the build down will have to be tranferred to Afghanistan near the Pakistan border?

By him answering these two questions ,he will clearly show his true intentions -without the rethoric- what he will do .

But i will tell you this , the crazy left (his biggest supporters and who got him this far) dont want any part of our military any where in the midle east , so I cant wait for his reponse. To our suprise he may have to admit (LOL) Bush and Mccain was right all along.......

This is exactly what my point is, and I'm glad it's not just the mushrooms talking to me (just kidding, that would make me a liberal democrat). It's always beating around the bush with politicians, it can never be just black or white (no pun intended) clear and concise.

It seems to me that this rhetoric is his way of preparing the public for an eventual cross border invasion into Pakistan. Obama has voiced his contempt for Pakistan not aggressivly pursuing the Taliban inside their borders and the need for the U.S. to cross their border if need be without their permission to hunt down the Taliban.

drk hasn't McCain and Bush been sword rattling against Iran for the past few years? I could easily say that it will lead to an invasion. I do not see why keeping integrity of Pakistan's borders are so important? They are unintentionally providing safe haven for Al Qaeda. Also prety much everyone wants to move troops from Iraq to Afghanistan Bush McCain the joint chiefs so I am not sure where your going with this it is pretty silly.
