Iraq Endate?
They're going to inherit 130,000 soldiers will be in Iraq by inauguration day.
Hillary: I've been clear in saying that I will begin to withdraw troops in 60 days and that they should be out in a year. We have to plan it right. I'll start a plan to withdraw my first day in office. We also have to think about the civilians there (drivers & translators, business people, embacys). Mainly the Iraqis have to take responsibility to pull out properly.
Barack: I will end this war, no permanent occupation. When John McCain suggests we might be there 100 years shows a lack of understanding that we have a host of global threats. We are neglecting foreign policy elsewhere in the world, like China. We have to be clear on our missions.
They share a lot of stances (civilian/ embassy care etc.)
I'm glad that Obama mentioned McCain's 100 year strategy (twice). For those of you worried that John McCain could win the presidency, this should be the #1 thing that sets him apart from either Democrats
UPDATE: Both of them have gone after McCain's century strategy.
