“I am absolutely committed to ending the war,” he said.

Heh, this news must be positively terrifying for all those McCain / War Supporter types like Sarge who think it's really is best for America to keep spending $15-30 billion of his nation's tax dollars every month on Iraq and…

"Bush urges Americans to be proud of country"

Heh, after he has spent 8 years working as hard aspossible to destroy it?

Tough call! :-)

I think he is just talking to Republicans, who have supported Bush's wholesale destruction of a once proud nation, in a last ditch attempt to…

"But why spend time saying things you don't really believe? I've stated my position twice in simple language. The door is open for your comments. Why not sit down and have a rational conversation?"

Why do you still not understand?

Hardly felt it here in Tokyo at all. In fact, ignored it.

My (Japanese) wife reacted - "earthquake!"

SuperLib, it seems like you still think it's a better strategy for your and your family's tax dollars to be spent on Iraq and Iraqis.

Heck, all these years I've thought you were American who had your country at heart.

RedMeat - "So I could easily see Obama a month or two after the MSM ensures his election making noises to the effect that it wasn't the surge, or Gen. Petraeus, or the bravery of US troops, or the Anbar Awakening, but his nomination and then election victory which turned…

Romulus - "the US cannot pull out of Iraq. Never."

Superlib - "I've always said that the President will only be able to do what the situation in Iraq allows him to do. If it's stable then US troops will be able to come home."

"we are spending $10 to $12 billion a month in Iraq that we desperately need here at home, not to mention the strains on our military,” Obama said."
