He did paint an accurate portrayal of the war from the soldier's point of view , I'll give him that . But reporting accurately and predicting the future are two different things . Obama was just on CNN saying he'll end the war because it's the right thing to do and will make the country (the U.S.) safer in the end . But it will take years to pull out the troops , hell it took close to two years to pull out troops and equipment from the Gulf War which was over in a matter of months . And on the other side is McCain who wants to build permanent military bases in Iraq and never leave . I was against this war from the start and saw Saddam as a tyrant , but a useful tyrant whose iron rule kept his own people from each other's throats and Iran somewhat in check . Even the Israelis said the U.S. was planning to invade the wrong country with Iran being the bigger threat . But there was all this oil there and Saddam tried to kill Bush's daddy and ..well you know the rest .
