With republicans supporting the war and democrats strongly opposing it, it is no surprise that much attention is in being refocused to this issue. However discussing the war in Iraq is like a game of tug of war with Senator McCain pledging to see this battle through while Senator Obama would rather bring this combat to an end. Whether our troops stay and continue to fight what seems to be an endless war or a plan devised to bring them home as quickly as possible, we can all agree that this has been a financially burdensome battle. The government continues to spend enormous amounts on this overseas entanglement and who knows what the total will be at the end whenever that may come. So with the race for presidency intensifying we all want to know in which direction will these prospective candidates lead our country. Through CNN’s Chief Political Analyst Bill Schneider, we are more knowledgeable on the intentions of two of the forerunners of 2008 race for presidency, who seem to have developed quite a distaste for each other’s respective position on many issues mainly the Iraq war.
If we endorse Senator Obama, his platform as follows: I intend to bring [the war in Iraq] to an end so that we can actually start going after al Qaeda in Afghanistan and in the hills of Pakistan like we should have been doing in the first place.”
While Senator Mc Cain believes, “If we left Iraq, there's no doubt that al Qaeda would then gain control of Iraq and then pose a threat to the United States of America.”
