He will be much better for the US than Bush and Company, and much better than McCain/Palin. But still so far from where I think we ought to be. In 2000 I voted for Nader because I thought he was where we ought to be, and that there was more distance him and Gore than between Gore and Bush. Now it's easier to see the differences between the Bush Administration and what Gore might have done, but from the Democratic positions, there's still a ton of room for improvement, IMHO.Michael Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17424059429241471091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117435194092181199.post-17433787466432677502008-09-13T07:59:00.000+09:002008-09-13T07:59:00.000+09:00okay. deatils, details....I stand somewhat correct...okay. deatils, details....I stand somewhat corrected. just don't dis the man now, he needs all the good karma he can get from usAnjolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613579485551577970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117435194092181199.post-19908420445641813062008-09-12T06:39:00.000+09:002008-09-12T06:39:00.000+09:00He has said no permanent bases, but he's not talki...He has said no permanent bases, but he's not talking about complete force withdrawal. This is from his website: "Under the Obama plan, a residual force will remain in Iraq and in the region to conduct targeted counter-terrorism missions against al Qaeda in Iraq and to protect American diplomatic and civilian personnel."<BR/><BR/>He's also said that he would continue to use privately contracted security firms like Blackwater in Iraq, who account for an additional 180,000 American combat units in Iraq, on top of the 140,000 US soldiers and 7,330 other coalition soldiers.Michael Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17424059429241471091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117435194092181199.post-58100406405593076562008-09-12T00:42:00.000+09:002008-09-12T00:42:00.000+09:00thank you.Obama has expresssed a plan for complete...thank you.<BR/>Obama has expresssed a plan for complete American force withdrawal from Iraq in 12-16 months from his inaugarationAnjolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613579485551577970noreply@blogger.com
