This U.S.Election is interesting. Both Hillary and Obama battle hard to get nomination.Obama’s views on Iraq war is interesting.

“What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.

“Even a successful war against Iraq,” Obama warned, “will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences.” Among other accurate things, he said it also would “strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaida.”

Obama is smart and already known for being a coalition builder. He holds typically dumb Democrat ideas about things like taxes and health care. But his proposed solution for Iraq — a phased troop redeployment that would remove all combat brigades by the end of March of 2008 — is responsible and realistic.

Unlike Hillary, Obama still may not be White House-ready. But also unlike Hillary — who has tried to be both for and against the war for five years — Obama has been right all along on Iraq.

Obama is my candidate.
