Whoever gets elected will have continued presence in Iraq. Everyone wants them home... but, it's not going to "just happen" unless something happens in the mean time.
Considering that we've definitely got some enemies (that we're aware of) that have vowed to destroy our country, this doesn't seem like the most intelligent time for our country to cut back military spending and stop spending money on missile defense programs.
More federal programs, national health care, along with the current deficit and military budget... that's what you want, right?
Someone please tell me Where's the money going to come from?
oh yeah, Obama's going to pull it out of his magic hat!

The Democratic candidate will deliver the following:
- A national health insurance program
- Liberal Federal judges
- Expansion of federal benefits programs
- Cutbacks in military spending
- Termination of missile defense spending
- Withdrawal from Iraq
The Republican candidate will deliver the following:
- Tax credits for health insurance
- Conservative Federal judges
- Status quo on federal programs
- Increases in military spending
- Continuation of missile defense spending
- Continuation of presence in Iraq
How you vote could depend on your positions on these issues.
All seem right except this. Even Obama is backing off of his speedy withdrawal. We will be in Iraq no matter who is the next president.
