For one thing, every single Iraq vet with whom I have spoken tells me that the one thing they want in a new president is an end to the war. Period. Whichever candidate comes closest to pledging to end that war, that is who has their support. And right now, that's Obama.

John McCain sure is a maverick, I'll give him that. In just a week, he's managed to alienate the Iraqi Prime Minister, the Iraqi people, the American people, and the veterans community.
