Comments on: The Coming Together Of McCain And Obama On Iraq http://www.chrisweigant.com/2008/07/02/the-coming-together-of-mccain-and-obama-on-iraq/ Reality-based political commentary Sun, 19 Apr 2026 17:11:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Elizabeth Miller http://www.chrisweigant.com/2008/07/02/the-coming-together-of-mccain-and-obama-on-iraq/#comment-2988 Elizabeth Miller Fri, 04 Jul 2008 02:21:01 +0000 http://www.chrisweigant.com/index.php/2008/07/02/the-coming-together-of-mccain-and-obama-on-iraq/#comment-2988 Let's be clear about one thing from the get-go...neither Senator Obama nor Senator McCain have a "plan" or anything that even approaches a comprehensive strategy for US policy in Iraq. They have nada, zippo, negative bupkis! Senators McCain and Obama are on the very same page and singing the same notes when it comes to one critical point - neither of them have the first clue about what will be required to end the civil war in Iraq and withdraw US forces without leaving a failed state in their wake. So, in this respect, Obama and McCain are joined at the hip and always have been...along with President Bush, I might add. Unfortunately, and quite inexplicably, Iraq has never been an issue in this campaign and, at this point, I'm not sure if it ever will be.

Those who deny this are simply playing partisan and pandering politics and have no stake in reality... I think the Left (excluding the Hysterical Left, of course) is finally coming to grips with the reality. That simply getting up and leaving is NOT an option in Iraq. We broke it.. We gotta fix it.. It's THAT simple... Before all the childish name-calling and labeling begins, let it be known that I am a committed Obama supporter...
