“It is past time to end this war that should never have been waged by bringing our troops home, and finally pushing Iraq's leaders to take responsibility for their future.

This is an Obama quote when he was running against Clinton. Now he no longer mentions bringing the troops home from Iraq. Instead he will send some from Iraq to Afghanistan, keep residual force in Iraq, and keep some in surrounding area. This is a main reason many people latched on to Obama because he was going to bring our troops home from Iraq.

Don't you Obama voters feel disillusioned with his change on bringing the troops home from Iraq?

Wouldn't he be better served using his European excitement to get more European countries to commit more European troops in Afghanistan and bring our brave fighting men and women in Iraq home?

No I am not irked at him. It's a legit question and you gave a legit answer.But to be fair about who sent them, Bush and Congress both sent the troops to Iraq. And you are correct that Bush, nor Congress might I add, has seriously made an effort to bring them home.

Thank you for the courteous and fair response Perhaps I misunderstood the intentions for the original post. When there are so very many people to blame for the troops being over there (still, I might add) I just found it odd that you would single out Obama.

If McCain had promise to bring troops home and changed his stance, I'll be on his ass too. Why you find it odd is beyond me. At least this isn't about him being Muslim, drugs, black etc. It's about an issue and a issue that is dear to my heart. I believe it's about time to bring all our troops home period. Let the CIA do their covert operations to find Osama Bin Laden. He got famous on this issue and I think the questions are legit as to why he no longer mentions bringing the troops home.

Oh yeah...HOOORRahh

Quaz, you and skeptic1 make a good point. But doesn't this mean that they disillusioned the voters who voted for them in the primary? In other words, the candidates were not being honest from the word go. Why should people believe what they say in the general election if they can't keep their words from the primary?
