Also, I had no intention on voting for McCain but as Obama shows us more and more of who he is, I absolutely am voting for McCain. I agree with John.

He will run into the same problems a lot of democrats have when it comes to national defense and security. I think it will be even worse for him due to his lack of foreign affairs experience, and I think he can be effectively debated on the vote he was never around to make. I think there is a difference in the war and what we are in now, we should be reconstruction and setting this up. As much as I would like to leave, that country still needs to be repaired and rebuilt for those people. If we leave before thats done, who will take up and handle those infastructure issues? Not to mention we would need to get all of our civilans out....

Thus, we will have 65,000 soldiers without the requisite arms or transport, and 27,000 more Marines without the requisite guns or ships to carry them. Not unlike the European governments that Obama so admires for their defense capabilities. Answer: He’s slashing the budget for their existing and future weapons systems.
