Wrong Damned Answer

I understand that it will take some finite amount of time to safely remove troops from Iraq once the decision is made to do so but let me be so bold as to say that I think it is possible to do it in less than 4 years.

"I think it's hard to project four years from now," said Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in the opening moments of a campaign debate in the nation's first primary state.

"It is very difficult to know what we're going to be inheriting," added Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

"I cannot make that commitment," said former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina.

I expected nothing more of Obama and Clinton but Edwards really disappointed me with those answers. This means that this little excursion into Iraq will have gone on for at minimum 10 years if any of these people get into office.

Chris Dodd is looking better and better to me (not that he cares because I cannot legally vote) so maybe it is time to sit down with all the candidates platforms and figure some stuff out.
