6. McCain didn't say anything other than we can't leave till we are successful,
And Obama asked what will Success in Iraq look like--please provide specifics.

I think that Obama let the Ambassador answer McCain in letting McCain know that Success in Iraq is impossible (since the Ambassador couldn't answer the question other than to say...."its complicated"). This hits at the heart of McCain's claim as to where we need to be as far as Iraq is concerned before we can leave.

And that's what needed to happen in these hearings by the Democratic nominee; to directly challenge McCain's claims. Cause it is obvious that McCain's has setup an unreachable scenario before the United States can leave Iraq.

Loved all of the Senators I heard on that committee. Democrats and Republicans appeared very united! Lugar, Hagel, Voinovich, all Republicans kicking almost as much tail as Kerry, Boxer, Feingold and lastly, the kick ass Senator from Illinois, and our next Democratic Nominee.....Sen. Barack Obama.
