It makes me feel good if a person who opposed the war from the get go was put into power. The reason why i would feel more comfortable is because Mr. Barack Obama opposed the war from the "get go". As it says on his personal website http://www.barackobama.com/issues/iraq/ he was part of one of the few in Washington who felt that going into war would be a very rash descision. He personally felt that the fighting should have ended in Afghanistan and that it was not fair to infiltrate Iraq without irrefutable proof that they were a threat to our country. That definetley sounds like my kind of president, a person who sticks to their guns no matter what.
Another thing about Mr. Obama is that he is a man who seems to keep cool under questions about Iraq. I have seen a few of his debates or interviews about the war and it seems that he never changes his answers. Although i do not completely agree with him he feels that to keep America safe he is ready to withdraw "one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months." http://www.barackobama.com/issues/iraq/#bring-home
I also cannot lie that i do not agree with the idea of not building any permanent bases because it would simply not be right.
It promises to be an interesting election. Would you vote for Obama?
