Obama Continues Call for War's End

Barak Obama is not backing down from his call to end the Iraq war. He has been against it from the start.

From Capitol Hill Blue:

On Monday, Obama reiterated his call for a phased withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq and said bringing a responsible end to the war was one of the ways the country could begin to lead again if he is elected president.

Another would be to increase the overall size of the military by adding 65,000 soldiers to the Army and 27,000 Marines, forces stretched thin fighting wars abroad and protecting the homeland.
