From Barack Obama's Iraq views, I learned a lot of great insight on why we should pull out of Iraq. Since the "surge" more then a 1000 troops have died. Casualties have decreased since 2006, but the Iraqi government have done nothing to help themselves. Also focusing on Iraq have strained nearly two million troops, and have diverted our attention from Afghanistan making it harder to catch Osama Bin Ladin. We spent 2.7 trillion dollars on the war which has lasted longer then World War I, World War II, and The Civil War. Yet at the same time, we are no more safe. A phased withdrawal 1 or 2 brigades a month will get us out of Iraq in 16 months. Applying pressure on the Iraqi government will help ensure that Iraq starts to help itself.
Questions I still have after reading Obama's stance:
What are Obama's views on McCain's views?
How will Obama pressure Iraq?
What Obama do about Syria and Iran as McCain plans to do?
