Obama against the "war" or with it?(current news)?

Question

I have been watch CNN, Fox and other news shows and I heard that Obama is going to said more troops to Iraq....wait a minute, I thought he was "against" the war...... or is he????

Discuss PLZ!

Answer 1

Basically he wanted to end the war in Iraq within 16 months after his first day in office.

This is a wonderful idea and need more troops to accomplish this target.

However, if you read carefully, it will be merely U.S. government withdraw from Iraq. The security and training on Iraqi force will be left to private sector, e.g. Blackwater. That means, soldiers can still be fighting in Iraq: not for honor but for money only.

Answer 2

he says he's against it but he will tell you what ever you want to here so you elect him. he said the surge wouldn't work and it did so now he's trying to backtrack and change his position. straight from his own website it says he will keep troops in Iraq as long as Al Quida has a base there. he also wants more troops in Afghanistan and thinks we should wage war against Iran. so no he's not the peace candidate. Ron Paul is. Write his name in on your ballot to make a statement against the political establishment, a statement for actual change.
