If we do, we have made iraq a non-issue for the presidential campaign as candidates positions converge.

A ridiculous statement. The two candidates had radically different approaches to Iraq: McCain's was the route that led to our winning; Obama's insured our defeat.

How even YOU can call that a non-issue is beyond me. The difference between the two candidates on Iraq could not be more stark, and it is self-evident that had Obama been calling the shots Saddam would still be in power, we would still be having to maintain overflight into perpetuity, there would be no hope for democracy in Iraq and AQ would be stronger than it is today. There is absolutely no doubt about any one of these outcomes had Obama been in charge.

Had Obama walked into the Oval Office and done what he planned only two years ago, Iraq would have collapsed into total chaos as of now and Iran would now very likely be in control of Iraq's oilfields.
