"Incredibly, incredibly Sen. Obama didn't go to Iraq for 900 days and never asked for a meeting with Gen. [David] Petraeus." - Senator John McCain at the Presidential Debate. 8/26/08

This particular piece of information is irrelevant to the fact about the troops in Iraq now. The whole point of the invasion of Iraq was to find weapons of mass destruction and to get Hussein out of power. Hussein is out and the Iraqis do not have weapons of mass destruction, so why are the troops still there? McCain didn't fire shots in Iraq nor did he get shot at. McCain wasn't trying to prove a point he was trying to make it look like he was helping the situation by going over there when in fact there is no substantial evidence that proves he did anything. I believe that he was straying people away from what is actually going on over there by making people think he's some kind of hero. And unless he has done something that either helps withdraw the troops or helps work towards the goal of whatever it is they're trying to reach now he needs to keep his two cents out about him going over there.

"Senator Obama did not spend 900 days in Iraq and he did not ask for a meeting with Genral David Petraeus."
