What are Obama and McCain going to do about the War?




As we all ask ‘ what is going to happen with the Iraq war’ we get two answers, we are going to end the war stated by Barack Obama and ‘we need to keep America in there for another 100 years if needed’ stated by John McCain. Who has the better details about their decision? Who knows what they are talking about? We all want to know what is going to happen, but what choice are you going to vote for? I feel that if we just keep are troops in Iraq as security we will be fine, but if we keep them in there for 100 years you know another war is bound to happen. I also feel that if we just end the war and take our troops out now, than they are more liable to come over here and try to start another war. I am more comfortable with the war over there than here any day, but I feel we need to let our troops come home. They have been fighting for us for about seven years. It is time that we have a change.

                I am not necessarily completely for McCain, but I feel he will be making the better choice about the Iraqi War. He is a very patriotic man and Obama even said he would not take that from him. McCain has stated that he does not want the troops in there any longer than they what they should be. But he also has stated about the al-Qaeda grounds that are trying to recover. Obama has not once said anything about these training grounds. If he is trying to do the best for us, shouldn’t he be warning us about the consequences of taking the troops out? But Obama also said there was no al-Qaeda base until Bush and McCain decided to invade them. He does have a point, if we were never to go into war we would not have this problem of trying to bring our troops home, but if we would have never gone over there than they would have come over here and ruin our land and try to break us apart. But Obama is very confident in debating about the war with McCain or Bush because they have a lot of unanswered questions from a lot of angry people. Obama has already found ways to seek peace and he has stated how, but what is McCain doing for our peace? Nothing that we know of, because he is to busy about the al-Qaeda base, but he has a point too. Obama in March 2007 wanted to keep our troops in Iraq because he thought there would be improvement in their neighborhoods and that the leaders would want to agree with the plan he was making. Now, he has decided that the war is point-less and we need to just bring our troops home. There are two excellent qualifying leaders running for Presidency it is only a matter of time to see who has the best proposal.
