Yesterday we witnessed the 5th anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq.  Today begins year #6 and are we any closer to coming home?  McCain has said that we could possibly be in Iraq for 50 or 100 years.  Clinton has said she will begin bring the troops home on “Day1”, God I hate that saying!  And Obama has said he would try to have the troops home in 16 months.  All are probably true statements.  But  a campaign promise is not policy; it is however, a lie told to voters to win their vote.

The Congress is the key.  If there are not enough votes to carry to issue then they will stay in Iraq.  Thee is the possibility that the new prez would take it on his/her own shoulders to bring the troops home.  this is NOT a possibility, IMO.  Why?  We are living in a war economy.  The war is big business and who do you think runs the nation?

I just want the voter to be realistic, the troops will pull out of Iraq slowly to give the appearance of keeping a promise.  but the bottom line is ALL troops will be out of Iraq when business says they can come home.

Sorry to burst that fragile bubble.  reality sucks!
