Iraqi Take on the VP Debate

"Silly mistakes aside, both VP candidates did okay during the debates. Palin got the name of the commander in Afghanistan wrong, and Biden said we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon and recommended Nato go in. Yeah, I know.

Regarding Iraq, Palin was right when she said Biden was waving the white flag of surrender. But she could have said more. Biden repeated something that Barack Obama has been saying for a while now. Obama has been saying that he will end the war in Iraq, and that Iraq has a deficit and it should pay its own bills.

During this Eid holiday week, Iraqis at social gatherings have expressed their anger at such statements. First, they ask how can Obama end a war? It would be more accurate for him to say he will end U.S. involvement in a war. Because once the U.S. leaves, the terrorists will continue to murder Iraqi civilians, about whom Obama has said he does not care. By saying he will end the war, it sounds like he will leave behind a clean, peaceful place. He really should be honest with the American people and tell them his plan would lead to the opposite of his words."
