The Delaware senator encountered the group in the lobby of the New Hampshire statehouse on his way to filing his candidacy with the secretary of state's office, and gave a detailed answer to a question adults don't often ask candidates: How did the war in Iraq start?
Biden compared the war in Iraq with the invasion of Afghanistan.

Richardson discusses troops in Iraq and aid to veterans
By JON ERICSON, Courier Staff Writer
WATERLOO --- In a campaign stop at Sullivan Brothers Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1623 in Waterloo, Bill Richardson pledged to end the war in Iraq while promising a litany of benefits for veterans.
Richardson, a Democrat candidate for president, told the crowd he would call for an immediate withdraw of troops in Iraq if he were elected.
"The first thing I would do as president is get all of our troops out of Iraq. That's all of the troops with no residual forces," Richardson said.
Richardson said Iraq isn't helpless and troops could be withdrawn all at once. He said the country has a 400,000-man strong security force, trillions in oil reserves and a government in place and they should be able to fend for themselves.

(CBS/AP) Congress should continue to push for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq regardless of what top military advisers say in their progress report next month, Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards said Sunday on Face The Nation.
"I think they should not submit a single funding bill to the president for the war that doesn't have a timetable for withdrawal," Edwards told Bob Schieffer. "And I think they should use whatever legislative tool is available to them, including filibuster."

Tommy Thompson: Iraq War May Be Won or Lost This Week
May 29, 2007 -- Madison – Saying it was time for the Iraqi Parliament to democratize oil revenues, former Wisconsin Governor, Tommy Thompson, called on Iraq's elected officials to meet the May 31 deadline and to see that every family in Iraq receive direct payments from the country's oil profits.
“If Iraq fails to pass a revenue sharing law that directly benefits every family in Iraq, then democracy and capitalism in the country will face a bleak future,” said Thompson. “Winning the war in Iraq means establishing a functioning democracy among monarchies and dictators. But concentrating oil dollars among governments and oil companies, and leaving the people out, will only lead to the same old 'top down' system that has already failed.”

Dodd To Outline Next Steps In Fight To End War In Iraq
Senator and Presidential candidate Chris Dodd today will announce his plans to continue the fight to bring an end to the Bush Administration's failed policy in Iraq. Dodd will hold a live chat at the popular blog FireDogLake today at 5 p.m. ET where he will announce plans to introduce an amendment to the upcoming Defense Authorization bill that would bring an end to American involvement in Iraq's civil war.
"The current policy in Iraq has left us less secure and left our standing in the world in tatters. That is why we have to continue the fight to change course," said Dodd. "The Dodd Amendment will improve accountability, provide a timetable for the Iraqi government to get its house in order, and safely and responsibly redeploy our troops and bring them home. Now is the time to responsibly bring an end to our involvement in another country's civil war while rebuilding our Reserve and Guard units."

McCain stakes bid on winning war
By Michael D. Shear, Washington Post April 8, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Senator John McCain will launch a high-profile effort this week to convince Americans that the Iraq war is winnable, embracing the unpopular conflict with renewed vigor as he attempts to reignite his stalling bid for the presidency.
With the Virginia Military Institute as a backdrop, the Republican from Arizona plans to contend in a speech on Wednesday that victory in Iraq is essential to American security and that President Bush's war machine is finally getting on track after four years, aides and advisers said.

BAGHDAD -- Sen. John McCain criticized reports out of Iraq he said focused unfairly on violence, saying Sunday that Americans were not getting a "full picture" of progress in the security crackdown in the capital.
McCain, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, was combative during a press conference in the military's media center in the heavily guarded Green Zone, and responded testily to a question about remarks he had made in the United States last week that it was safe to walk some Baghdad streets.

British PM sacrificed career for Iraq: McCain
Seattle: Republican presidential hopeful John McCain said that British Prime Minister Tony Blair has sacrificed his career to support the Iraq war, and the Arizona senator acknowledged that he could face the same fate.
McCain, a staunch defender of President George W. Bush's new Iraq troop deployment strategy, said on Friday he worries that a cutback of British troops in southern Iraq announced by Blair this week could lead to stronger control by "Iranian-backed Shiite" forces. But he said Blair and the British deserve gratitude for their efforts.

Edwards makes plain his stance on Iraq
NASHUA, N.H. -- Health care was the topic of the day Saturday, but Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards made sure New Hampshire voters gave him another chance to say he was wrong as a senator to authorize the use of force in Iraq.
Edwards' visit to New Hampshire was billed as a series of house meetings to promote his health care plan and his presidential bid. But less than five minutes after walking into the day's first house party, the 2004 vice presidential nominee turned to the subject that has consumed the Democratic contenders: Iraq.

Boosting Biden, NBC Misrepresents 2002 Iraq War Resolution
If NBC wants to support the effort of Joe Biden and Carl Levin to adopt a new resolution undercutting the 2002 version that authorized President Bush to go to war against Iraq, let it put Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann out there to make the case. But please don't misrepresent to the public what that 2002 resolution [full text here] said.

Obama Ridicules Cheney's Iraq Comments
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama ridiculed Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday for saying Britain's decision to pull troops from Iraq is a good sign that fits with the strategy for stabilizing the country.
Obama, speaking at a massive outdoor rally in Austin, Texas, said British Prime Minister Tony Blair's decision this week to withdraw 1,600 troops is a recognition that Iraq's problems can't be solved militarily.
Please the rest of this article at : http://www.breitbart.com/news/2007/02/24/D8NFT51G0.html
I guess Obama's ridicule is based on his years of military experience --------- NO, wait Obama never served in the military. Ok then they must be based on his years of political experience in the US Senate------------NO, wait Obama is a ROOKIE Senator. He has almost NO experience on the federal level. Then should we take it for granted that Obama's remarks are based on his POLITICAL BELIEFS and no valid foundation?
