Obama says Iraq war must end

“In fact – as should have been apparent to President Bush and Senator McCain – the central front in the war on terror is not Iraq, and it never was."

Wow, so the whole "Al Kayduh in Iraq" was just a ruse! I was so blind, I thought all those people we were killing and were killing us were terrorists, wow, I wonder who we've been fighting over there then. The news did mention "foreign fighters" a lot, so maybe we've just been fighting off Syria or Iran from taking over Iraq all this time? Is that what it is?

Or maybe he's saying that since the central front, as opposed to the flanks and every other front, isn't Iraq (again, huh?), then it's not worth fighting unless it's the central front. Well, excuse me, but I think we should be fighting terrorism on all fronts. And even if there wasn't a single terrorist in Iraq at first, they're certainly there now.

I think it's great Hussein is seen as some sort of new age MLK or whatever, but this country deserves a president that isn't going to back out of fight due to low popularity. No war should be popular, nobody should actually want to be in a war, but shit happens and when it does, you have to deal with it and not just act like a sissy-boy.
