I believe he on many occasions mentioned bringing the iraqi forces home and concentrating on afghanistan more.

Of course he's not doing that either. In fact I've seen no hint that he's bringing home any troops.

This makes me wonder if ron paul really would have pulled straight out of iraq?

"I personally, think he should start up the draft and send about 200k troops over there."

Intersting opinion from someone who is posting on conspiracy sites, instead of fighting in wars which they support. I guess it's always easier to send someone else to do your dirty work than do it yourself.

Wait.. I'm confused, I thought he hasn't made his decision yet. I'm not an advocate for Obama, but why are you accusing him of hypocrisy before he's even made a decision? The 40,000+ reinforcements were the requests of the US Forces in Afghanistan, now he could grant these additional troops and factor in an exit strategy and still be true to his word of bringing the troops home during his run. This doesn't sound like a fair accusation. He's made other promises that he's broken, what about when he promised not to staff lobbyists? He's done that. Or did that thread already come and run it's course?

Holy double talk batman!

A politician lied! That never happens.

This is pretty much exactly what he said.

He said switch war from Iraq to Afghanistan. Of course when the elections were happening, people are driving around with their ANTI BUSH/END THE WAR bumper sticker, then next to it another saying VOTE FOR OBAMA.

Guess it was just another person lost...
