about the announcement.........

Seriously, folks. When I heard the news networks reporting Sen. Barack Obama’s comments that our troops need to be home by March of 2008, and calling it the main platform in his bid for the Presidency, I was struck that he is presenting a goal that needs to be achieved even before many of the primaries next year. Then it dawned on me: Who better to elect as President, but someone who manages to bring enough public pressure to bear, that the war IS ended before the November election.  No need to wait, my friends. The anti-war movement needs a leader. We need someone who can lead us out of the past bungled five years.  Let’s end this thing now and get on with the next century….. a century of compassion and awakening, of discovery of our own true nature in this Universe.

It's a brilliant political move - and could take away my prediction of a Clinton victory if he can keep momentum going. Of some personal interest, it seems John Howard also has a thing or two to say on the subject.

Sigh...

Thanks for the link, Mike. I love the spontaneous Obama sound bite:

The Democratic presidential hopeful said if the Australian prime minister was "ginned up to fight the good fight in Iraq," he needs to send another 20,000 Australians to the war.

"Otherwise, it's just a bunch of empty rhetoric," Obama said.
