Obama keeps pushing that McCain wants the war to continue for 100 years, which is a pretty clear misrepresentation of what McCain was saying.

You're absolutely right.  McCain is for an indefinite period of warfare (he says probably another five years, but he bases that time estimate on absolutely nothing, as far as I can see), and then a century of occupation.  See, that's totally different.  There's no way the Iraqi people could object to that.

I do think that McCain is feeding Obama's tactics right back at him. They are on opposing sides, but I believe McCain does like and respect Hillary.

No American would want to see our armed forces come home from Normandy or Iwo Jima with "its tail between its legs."  But that's McCain's problem.  This is not some noble struggle against nations that declared war on us, this is a never-ending occupation of a third party that had nothing to do with 9/11, and Americans have had it.  McCain's strategy is that we have to stick this out, no matter what, and if we hang in there, the insurgency will just give up and wither away, and then, we can continue to stay.  Forever.

He.  Has.  No.  Plan.

And unfortunately for Clinton, her vote for the war was always going to be a big problem for her.  Just as it was for Kerry.  I think Iraq is going to be a crucial issue for McCain because he's going to make it so, because he thinks it's a winner for him.  (The economy certainly isn't.)

Eugene still trying to Misrepresent Hillary's comments

McCain...understands politics and that particular GI bill better

Clinton voted for the Webb GI bill. As did Obama and 75 senators total. It was written, ahem, by Jim Webb, whose military record is better than McCain's (not that that has anything to do with the merits of the bill but it's sauce for the gander), and who comes from an even longer familial line of military service.

Bush and McCain oppose the Webb bill because all that matters to them is short-run retention, because all that matters to them is sustaining the Iraq war. Apart from being the right thing to do by veterans, the Webb bill is absolutely vital to increasing enlistment long-term and therefore vital to national security strategy. On the merits, it's not even a close call.

But let's have some more reflexive Obama bashing!

The US is like a knife in Iraq's back. In order for the wound to heal the knife must be pulled completely out.

In the midst of the war, the United States changed its position and unexpectedly helped the Iranians. In 1985, the Reagan Administration agreed to secretly sell weapons to Iran to win support for the freeing of American hostages being held by terrorists in Lebanon. The principal negotiator on the U.S. side was Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, a military aide to the National Security Council, who reported his activities to the National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane and his successor John Poindexter.

When the exchange was revealed, it proved embarrassing because of Reagan's oft-stated pledge not to negotiate with terrorists and his claim not to have traded arms for hostages. The situation was further complicated by the disclosure that part of the proceeds of the arms sale had been diverted to support the Contra rebels fighting the Sandinista government in Nicaragua; this was in violation of a law prohibiting U.S. aid to the Contras.

If this was not convoluted enough, the initial sales to Iran were made through Israel.
