And Hussein was removed from power some five years ago. What's your point?


The US military has been building schools and infrastructure in the Middle
East for years and not just Iraq. Also, certain segments of the military
focus on winning the hearts and minds of the people. To claim that this will
come about as a result of Obama getting elected isn't true.

Unfortunately,hunting down and killing the older brothers, fathers and
uncles of the kids going to the schools built, kind of gets in the way of
winning their hearts and minds...but continue to delude yourself if you
like.

Well, we give lip-service to the idea that Iraq is a sovereign nation with a
popularly-elected government. If that sovereign nation tells us to get the
hell out, then get out we must -- or declare war again. Or first. Whatever.

I actually agree.

Would you vote for a presidential candidate that promises increasing troops
and killing in Afghanistan and promises to invade Pakistan to kill even
more?

I wouldn't.

Both McCain and Obama support more troops in Afghanistan, and both state
that they would pursue terrorists into Pakistan if the situation called for
it. Neither has "promised" to invade Pakistan. Only McCain has sung songs
about bombing Iran.

Apparently McCain now has the support of Bin Laden...

Obama has promised to invade Pakistan. Are you saying his word is less than
a promise?

No, I'm saying that you are a liar.
