Thank you MSNBC for giving the Obama spotlight it deserves as CNN has proven to have there own agenda.

And now that we have reduced the level of terrorists acts we can claim victory even though terrorists acts in Iraq were non-existent before we invaded. How's that? &lt;br&gt;C A, Tuscalossa, AL &lt;br&gt;************************** &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The truth is we don't know if there was or was not any terrorist activities in Iraq before 2003, and bacause of the invasion we may never know. Iraq has always been an open country to Arab neighbors (except Iran). People come and go as they please. In 2003 The US invaded causeing more and more millitant types to engage US forces. Truth is we don't know how many terrorists are dwelling in our own country. 9-11 took years to plan. terrorists both in the US and abroad were planning this out for years for the right moment to strike, and to those who say say it won't happen again are just fooling themselves &amp;nbsp;To say that tighning security here has kept us safe from terrorists underestimate how clever people can be. However if there is anything positive to say about the situation in Iraq is that since the invasion there has been a record drop in terrorist activities outside the country in Iraq. As bad as it sounds to here about US casulties in Iraq and Afghanistan, it still is alot better to hear than casulties in New York, Chicago, or LA.</description></item><item><title>Excerpts of Obama's speech</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/28/1302230.aspx#1302315</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:32:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1302315</guid><dc:creator>Cindi in Louisiana</dc:creator><description>Martin Luther King has to be smiling down tonight!!
