I know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors...

I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars. You want a fight, President Bush? Let's finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings.

Barack Obama 2002

Who else currently running was this right on the issue of the Iraq war? His statement in 2002 was completely and totally right in every aspect. His prediction of what would happen is the written history of what did happen. The Iraq war is the dominant issue of our time and probably will be for the next decade or more. We need a candidate who has clarity of thinking and a proven track record on this issue. No one else comes close.

The more I read and learn about Obama, the more I like him.

1. plus, he has these weird things on his website..policy papers

He actually says what he means and where he stands in (last I looked) 12 policy papers. I think that the critics are right, he hasn't been in Senate long enough (to learn how to dodge the real issues and flipflop back and forth).

btw, I'm supporting Edwards, but I'm becoming a bigger fan of Obama by the day.
