Obama vows Iraq pullout, promises not to seek permanent US military bases
The differences on Iraq in this campaign are deep. I opposed the war in Iraq before it began, and would end it as president unlike Senator John McCain. I believed it was a grave mistake to allow ourselves to be distracted from the fight against Al-Qaida and the Taliban by invading a country that posed no imminent threat and had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. Since then, more than 4,000 Americans have died and we have spent nearly $1 trillion. Our military is overstretched. Nearly every threat we face — from Afghanistan to Al-Qaida to Iran — has grown.
