Barack Obama and What he will do in Iraq

Boy, can this guy dodge and weave; he learned everything from Muhammed Ali.

Read his plan. He'll bring all troops home within 16 months. But wait... (see below).

Barack Obama | Change We Can Believe In | Iraq:
"...if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda."

Tell me where there's so-called "real change?" So troops remain as long as Al Qaeda does. And since Al Qaeda is there even as we speak, it's a safe bet that this is a hollow promise, worded to get votes. Even if he did manage to pull all the troops, then what for Iraq? The power vacuum will enable Iran to not only get a foothold, but take over that country with their radical Islamist government, which is clearly bent on its destruction of the West (meaning us).

And then what for the U.S.? Should we look forward to monthly September 11's? Or should we get used to the erosions of our personal freedoms by ever-more draconian measures necessary to stop Islamist-sponsored terrorism on American soil?

The question: Forget politics; how does Obama's plan make me and my family safer in our beds?
