If Obama had his way we wouldn't have invaded and if he did invade he would have competence on his side which typically results in better decision making.

That makes no sense whatsoever.
Imagine: The Redskins turn the ball over three times in the first half due to mental lapses and fumbles by the RBs, and end up down 20-0. In the third quarter they decide to stop handing the ball off to the RBs because the opposing defense is vulnerable to the deep ball (they have four Roy Williamses in the secondary). The Skins should have known this all along, but just start attacking the secondary in the 3rd quarter. By the fourth quarter, they're ahead 23-20. Should they just go home at that point, or should they keep doing what's working until the game is over?
That's what the surge was, an adjustment. Sure, we should have known all along that if we go into Iraq we better bring a ton of troops. But are you actually suggesting that the surge was a bad idea?
Here's the problem with the "Obama had it right, we never should have gone in the first place" statement. WE ARE IN IRAQ. We can't turn back the clock. So the question is, what will the candidates do from here on out?
Obama wants to pull out. That makes no fuckin sense at all, not when violence there is way down to the point where Petraeus is recommending we begin drawing down our troops gradually.
Democrats are clinging too hard to the past; yes Bush made mistakes, and we're all angry about it. But unless you come with a plan that makes any damn sense, you will still lose the election. Criticizing what Bush did in his first term doesn't do any good in quelling the remaining violence in Iraq. That's the dems in a nutshell this election; Bush screwed up, we're not Bush, so vote for us! So focused on the past, they've forgotten to develop a plan that makes any sense.
Sure would explain why McCain is hanging in there in a year when it should be a slam dunk for democrats.
They're all talk.
