Will be interesting to see how Barry tires to nuance his position on immediate withdrawal

Yep, I was really in favor of the surge and was sure it would succeed, I just spoke " inartfully"

What an empty suit

Since day 1, the Iraq war was about oil that has not been at 10% production since DAY 1.

Let's see here, how much would the price of oil go down if oil was flowing in Iraq? I say $40.

Plus, if we didn't go to Iraq in the first place then oil would not have reached $100.

The U.S. would have saved working Americans $1 trillion from paying for the war.There would be a strong dollar and people making 40k a year would not be in a pinch.

Last, If Iraq is a success. WHY WOULD MCCAIN WANT TO STAY THERE FOR 100 YEARS?
