Listening tour hearing a different tune.

As he is traveling abroad, Barack Obama seems to be hearing a slightly different line that Bush and McSame are shouting over here. While Bush and McSame are touting our need to stay in Iraq indefinitely, Iraqi President al-Maliki has been quoted in a major German newspaper, Der Spiegel as supporting Obama’s vision for troop withdrawal, and virtually any other Iraq will tell you the same thing, they would much rather be allowed to run their own country. Only here in America, in the land of Bush, is there the opinion that we know what’s best for Iraq and we should continue to run their country for them. Amazingly enough while on the one hand, Bush and McSame claim that the "surge" has worked, that we have "won the war", any call to exit the country and let it run itself is answered with, "Leaving will cause us to LOSE the war". Either we have won, or we haven’t. and if we haven’t even after our mighty "surge" then maybe we need to decide how many Iraqi’s we need to kill, and how many US soldiers we are willing to sacrifice to get that job done. Either do it right, or don’t do it at all…
