Difference Between Obama and Clinton on the war: None, let it continue

[ThomWV]

Want more of the same in Iraq? Stand for either Clinton or Obama.

Coming from their most recent statements on what they would do in Iraq articles which quoted both Obama and Clinton were read this morning on C-Span's Washington Journal program. Both would leave forces in Iraq indefinitely and that after and token commitment to troop reductions beforehand. In short, more of the same. Unacceptable.

If you are against the war in Iraq and want it ended both Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama have views and plans that are contrary to your position. You decide how much it matters.

1. I have always thought these two were very much alike.

2. How many troops are in their "token commitment to reductions?"

Have you checked both of their websites for info?

[ThomWV]

5. Not in the last two weeks - that is when I wrote both of them off my list

7. Here are two excerpts

Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.

"The most important part of my plan is the first step: to end our military engagement in Iraq's civil war and immediately start bringing our troops home as quickly and carefully as possible. No permanent occupation of the country. No more neighborhood patrols. No more being caught in the middle of a war whose side we do not even know we should be on."

Do you think these proposals are "more of the same," or the same as what the Republicans are proposing?

3. The differences among our candidates on the big issues are in degree, not content. nt

[ThomWV]

4. Try to tell that to Dennis Kucinich

[Captain Hilts]

6. I think he's the ONE that stands out as different, actually. nt

8. Well Hillary might have voted to let bush search for WMD

and then the S.O.B. started a war,BUT NO MATTER HOW THE OBAMA IDOLERS won't admit it, Obama gave an interview to the Chicago Trib and said he would bomb Iran...see, Liberman was his mentor and he does what his mentor says. Liberman and McCain are the only other two senators besides Obama that want to bomb Iran.
