US Presidential Hopeful Barack Obama On Iraq And Peace

by | 5th, June 2007

IN Foreign Affairs magazine, via the Guardian:

To renew American leadership in the world, we must first bring the Iraq war to a responsible end and refocus our attention on the broader Middle East. Iraq was a diversion from the fight against the terrorists who struck us on 9/11, and incompetent prosecution of the war by America’s civilian leaders compounded the strategic blunder of choosing to wage it in the first place. We have now lost over 3,300 American lives, and thousands more suffer wounds both seen and unseen.

A diversion? Aren’t Al-Qaeda in Iraq?
