I think we can do without the childish namecalling, fuckhole....
'This is going to increase the stability of the Middle East.'
True or false?
Except for Iraq, where has the middle east destabalized because of Iraq? Further, the Iraq war is not over. Every war destabalizes the country where the war is taking place... when the war is over, if it is successful then the ME will be a more stable place because Hussein is gone, no more no fly zones, no more military ops like "Desert Fox," no more embargos, etc...
'This (Iraq war) will be the best thing for America and the world in a long time.'
True or false?
that's a stretch, but again its not over so the answer is undetermined.
The [focus] away from Afghanistan and al Qaeda and made America more safe.
True or false?
Just because the focus of americans and the media went to Iraq, does not mean that we aren't still fighting the taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. There are around 60K Allied forces in Afghanistan as well as the Afghan military. Every thread here about a Taliban resurgence is almost always followed up with a story of Taliban dying by the dozens...
The Iraq war has strengthened Iran's power.
True or false?
Yeah, I don't buy this... sorry... If Iraq's 2003 military was holding Iran in check then Iran is the very definition of a paper tiger. Further, the Israelis will probably be taking care of Iran in the near future.
McCain has a plan to stay in Iraq. Obama has a plan to get out.
True or false?

True-ish... During primary debates, only Dennis Kucinich said there would be no troops in Iraq by the end of his first term. While Obama has said he will begin withdrawing forces right away he has already hinted that may not happen either.
