[Peace-discuss] Obama's way forward, via Iraq

[C. G. Estabrook]

Yes.  The media reports of Obama's speech said that he called for the US 
to leave Iraq.  But he didn't.  The Democrats' job is to *appear* to 
change the policy -- because of the large antiwar vote on Nov. 7 -- 
while in fact maintaining the ME policy common to Republican and 
Democrat administrations, viz., US control of ME energy resources. 
Obama's tergiversations contrast with the more honest demand of the 
war-criminal McCain, who openly calls for more troops for Iraq. --CGE
