We'll be gone so it wont really matter. What if the country goes to complete hell after we leave? Who cares, it allready is anyways and us being there dosent seem to be helping.
And as for Nuclear threats, yadda yadda, we are the most powerful nation in the world and thats not going to change with Barack or anyone else in office. These people that are honestly worried about national security are out of their minds. Those people over there are crazy, dont get me wrong, but until they actually threaten us with a real threat, as in bringing their force to other countries or stateside (which will NEVER happen, this isnt WWIII and never will be), we have no business being over there, end of story. Whats really sad about the whole thing is that we stopped Saddam Hussein, who had nothing to do with 9/11, but we still cant find Bin Laden.

I do think your comments do speak for a lot of people, mainly the Democrat leftist base... but don't think that your opinions on these issues are shared by the majority of the country... not by a long shot.
There is no other candidate more hawkish on Iraq than McCain, and both Republicans and Independents support him in this. The nation, while not agreeing wth the way we fought the war for a long time, knows this is something we have to fix for the good of our safety and stability of the world. Pulling out is not an option without Iraq being stable.
If Obama runs of your Iraq platform, he loses by a massive amount of votes. It won't even be close. You have to see that as a reality.
