Actually, Obama's already started revising his stance over the course of the past year (from "pull out now!" to "we would weigh it carefully and pull out slowly"), and the right has already called him on it. I think it shows that Obama is up on the situation and is able to be flexible and adjust based on moving targets.

This may sound stupid but that is the best question I've heard in a long time. If McCain is so desirous of "winning the war in Iraq," I would like him to define what that means.
Mostly, I am afraid that a McCain presidency will result in the U.S. fighting in FOUR wars by 2012 (Iran, Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan). And skirting around with China and Pakistan. And Palin would just say it's God's will. Oy vey.
