scout....have any belief or opinion you want for any reason you want...but please spare the theatrics.
When you attempt to rationalize your opinion with comments like:
"A 16 month withdrawal from Iraq is pretty much there one day and gone the next...."
"It will be a rerun of Nancy Pelosi...A total reversal of everything promised while on the campaign trail."
or
when you conveniently misrepresent the stated intent of the surge (as Bush and war supporters have done) because the Iraqis have failed to meet political benchmarks ("its now 'partly' successful because there have been fewer attacks on US forces")
...you should expect to be challenged.
more:
I still think Obama should (and will) go to Iraq (and Afghanistan) before the election...but at a time and in a manner of his own choosing, not in response to political grandstanding by McCain (who has repeatedly misrepresented the facts on the ground in Iraq).
The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan represent nearly 200,000 voters (Wyoming barely has more than 300,000 in the entire state) and they deserve an opportunity to hear from the candidates directly.
