You have to be kidding. Obama's stance was to finish up Iraq as fast as possible and get us out and redirect focus on Afghan and other hot spots like Pakistan boarders.
McCain was all for dragging out Iraq and keeping Afghan as the forgotten war. The reason being Iraq war was much more profitable for US business interest. The reality was it was US contractors milking the tax payers dry vs real economic growth from re-developing the country of Iraq.
Remember Bush claiming the rebuilding of Iraq would come from their oil sales? Umm yeah .. opps sorry guys, guess he got that one wrong, It's you the tax payers whom are flipping the bill.
The two couldn't have been completely further apart on their views of the so called war on terror. McCain would have continued a losing Bush strategy that would have probably bankrupted this country.
