As I suspected, Barack Obama carries the same understanding of the Iraq war that most other democrats have: “We need to get out of Iraq because we’re losing.” The same democrats who were opposed to it are now calling for an end, not because it is morally wrong to occupy another nation and take so many innocent Iraqi lives, but because the “cost” has been too high for American to bear.

Obama and the other democrats want to continue the war in Afghanistan. He intends to send some of those PTSD patients currently serving their 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th campaigns in Iraq and dropped them into the heart of Taliban inssurection. This comes at a time when more Afghan civilians are being slaughtered by indiscriminate U.S. bombing raids. The total number of innocent Afghans killed has far exceeded the number of Americans killed on 9/11.

Therefore, it is clearn that Mr. Obama is not interested in peace, rather he wants a war he thinks we can win. Well, I hate to disappoint you, Senator, but America is not winning in Afghanistan, and they will never win. No one ever has.
