Sen. Barack Obama today said the most important thing he could achieve as president would be to deal with Iraq and the threat of al Qaeda in Afghanistan while improving "our influence around the world."

We don't know how he will actually deal with Iraq, but my guess is it will be 2-3 years minimum before the US is out of there.
Meanwhile, his quote above, at least to me, sounds exactly like something insane-Bush would say?? Bush has ignored all domestic issues in lieu of his insane march through the Middle East.
What's with Afghanistan? Are all the al Qaeda located only in Afghanistan? Obama has said he wishes to put more troops into Afghanistan so it sounds like a 'pea' game to me. Take them out of Iraq and move them next door?
As long as the USA feels that it must mettle in every one's business, being the world police, the righteous nation, protector of Israel, etc. there will be US troops in the Middle East. McCain is more right than anyone when he says US troops will be in Iraq or wherever for 100 years.
If I was running for president, I would say my priority will be the USA, it's citizens first, and that I will only deal with international issues when there is a viable coalition in place and sanctioned by the UN. If we don't take care of things at home, to deal with oil prices, global climates, water and electricity issues, population growth, the education system, health care, and the economy, in my very humble opinion, al Qaeda will be a moot point...
