Voters have real choices about candidates, Iraq

Ralph Nader has complained that there really isn’t any difference between Republicans and Democrats. But on the Iraq war, there sure is. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., announced Wednesday his plan to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by the end of next year. "The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq’s leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops," he said. Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who also was in Iowa Wednesday, has a new campaign theme: "No Surrender." Speaking to veterans, McCain said: "If we leave, there will be chaos and genocide in the region, and we will be back."
