ORIGINAL: RacerJim One thing I sorely wish Sarah Palin had pointed out is the difference between why McCain once voted against a troop-funding bill and why Obama did likewise -- the "time-line" issue. McCain voted against a troop-funding bill specifically because it contained a time-line WITH a firm/set date for all of our troops to be out of Iraq, while Obama voted against a troop-funding bill specifically because it contained a time-line WITHOUT a firm/set date for all of our troops to be out of Iraq. Whether one is losing or winning a war, the VERY LAST thing one should do is tell their enemy they are going to quit fighting on a specific date! That Obama-Biden don't get that or, worse yet, do get that but won't acknowledge it for political reasons, is the pre-eminent reason why they should not be elected. Iraq is not a war. Iraq is an invasion of a sovereign nation, and I personally want us out yesterday. If you are so gung-ho about fighting, why don't you go over? Spare the 18-year-olds who are dying because the fuck in the White House has to avenge his pappy's honor.
