You’re absolutely right Aubrey.

More meat in the grinder is what is needed.

If they are becomeing more similar (though I haven’t heard McCain say ‘timeline’), it’s McCain moving toward Obama, forced by Maliki.

I see them as being similar with regards to the War at all. McCain has encouraged victory and implementing winning strategies at every step. Obama, on the other hand, has voted against those winning measures and has believed that we cannot be victorious in this war. I”m sorry, but there is a fundamental difference between these two men.

I understand that Obama sees that we might be able to leave Iraq, almost completely, within the next year or two. Of course he’ll exploit that fact. But, just because he’ll claim (if he’s elected) that he brought the troops home and out of Iraq just like he promised - that doesn’t make it true. Obama has been a defeatist and I see no resolve in the man’s words, actions, or image to make me believe that he will take a violence of action into Afghanistan to finish that war too.
