independent.co.uk — Brown prepared the ground for a historic realignment in the "war on terror" by setting out a four-point plan for withdrawal of British troops from Iraq by the end of next year...It is clear Mr Brown is in agreement with Barack Obama on the need for military action in Afghanistan to take priority. Both appear to be working to a 16-month timetable.

You bring up an interesting point.If Obama withdraws and Iraq falls into chaos, will history see him as "winning" or "leaving" the conflict? I'll be betting on the latter.

How does "McCain might be slightly insane and might push the button when provoked, but I would think McCain is better than Obama." take priority over "Obama is all about special interest groups." in your book? Of the lesser of two evils, I think I'll take the one that isn't insane/pushing any buttons.

And somehow guns are bad? Guns are there to keep the shankers the f**k away from you!That, and, of course, people will kill people if they want to, and ideally, if you don't want people to kill other people, make lives better.

Terrorism isn't a priority, but is important to take care of.Millions suffering due to food shortages, disease sweeping the world, forced manual labour of useless consumer goods.Those words are as empty as they come :(

Yes, but they have guns and are able to defend themselves. Duh!

At lest the British people hold a soft spot in their hearts for Long John Silver's parrot.

That's the kiss of death for Obama, there's a reason people call Gordon Brown "Jonah". Obama supporters have my sympathies, maybe next time.
