Re: How is it any different than

Not to be nit-picky, but can you find me that exact quote and site it. I searched the entire text of the debate (see weblink in my post)and the only one talking victory in Iraq is McCain.

McCain keeps saying we are winning in Iraq, but Bush has been saying we have been winning since 2003 and the "Mission Accomplished" speech. At every Iraqi government formation or election Bush has come on TV to tell us we are winning or making significant progress in Iraq. C'mon.

My problem with Iraq is it is a quagmire. We should not have started that war in the first damn place. So the question for me is which Presidential candidate understood that this was a bad idea in the first place and which is more likely to find a way to end the war versus expanding it to Iran.

I believe that Obama is more likely to look for a way to end the war (and that he is smart enough to listen to military advisors) and that he is NOT looking to expand it to Iran. I think that McCain still has a 20th century mentality that will lead him to expand a war we cannot afford.
