> Sadly, 98.5% of Americans still wanted this war, since they voted for Obama or McCain.

Blatantly wrong. You are throwing away the rest of your point with this garbage.

No, I looked it up...98.5% of people voted for McCain or Obama.

You must think I'm wrong in some other way...please explain. Getting out of Iraq wasn't part of either candidate's platform. So, how was I blatantly wrong?

You are drawing a false conclusion. Even if 98.5% voted for McCain or Obama, this does not mean 98.5% support the war. It just means that 98.5% voted for a candidate that supports the war. I do not support the war, yet I voted for Obama. That fact alone spoils your conclusion.
