I don't believe you can win an election in the United States of America of today, running on a platform which includes withdrawing from Afghanistan. He didn't have to say he was going to add more troops to Afghanistan however. But, I am hopeful that there is only one way out of Afghanistan and that is to stabalize it real quick, declare victory, and get out. I am hopeful that is what he will do. I know for certain that this is not what McCain will do. So it is a moral quandry which we come down on two different sides of. This does not mean I am " bending over" for anyone, or "taking any indignity" since I do not perceive this as being about my dignity, but rather, I see it as being about what is more likely to save some real lives.
