He didn't say 100 years of peacelessness in Iraq. So it's not contradicting.

For example, I'm not American, and I've been staying in America for the past 7 years. Does that mean there hasn't been peace here for 7 years?


------------------------------------------------------------

Btw, someone on some other forums posted a poem that he received in the mail. I think it's extremely funny.

'Twas the night before elections



And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

' On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!

by saying staying in iraq for 100 years, he's implying violence for that long. I want to know want senator mccain means by peace in the middle east and else where. I'm not getting what you're trying to say about "For example, I'm not American, and I've been staying in America for the past 7 years. Does that mean there hasn't been peace here for 7 years?", I'm not saying you are causing peacelessness (a word?) by being in America, and hopefully i was giving off that vibe.

Don't be divisive and have this us-vs-them mentality, and then it won't matter who wins.
im not saying anything about that im just saying that there are SOME people out there that will see your differences and use them against you. which is wrong. i mean not matter how amazing and darn tootin' you are some people will always just be all like OH hes different thats bad. you know what i mean? im not saying that anyone here is being like that i just kinda realized that after watching a long thing about "obama binladen" see they use his difference(in this case his name)against him. this applies to mccain to comon' we've all heard of him about to dies of old age or something (see people used his age against him) yes i could've worded that better but i hope this clears it up

~~~on a separate note~~~
VOTE!!! i dont care what you believe in VOTE!!!
(even thought most people here are under 18) ;)

I love this...NBC saying McCain wins Kentucky and Obama wins Vermont. Yet Kentucky is 52%-48% with 10% reporting. And we don't even know what Vermont is...because they haven't reported yet!

Stop trying to be the first to call the outcome, because that is too close to call at this point.

Did you miss the primary season or something? The news networks use exit polls as an okay estimate of how the state will go, that are then replaced by actual data from the poll centers as it comes in. There is nothing to be confused about.
