__**War on Terrorism**__ John McCain

The event that we are discussing is War on Terrorism. - Iraq economy is down and all they have are weapons which lead to them terrorizing people. - Syria and Iran are providing aid, weapons, and technology to Iraq. - Threats are coming from Iraq and Afghanistan to the U.S. - Al Qaida, a terrorist group that goes and attacks other countries like the attack on 9/11, is still going on. - The most wanted terrorists are still on the run, like Osama Bin Laden.

This leads up to one big problem; War on Terrorism. Most of it has to do with Iraq being a very unstable country. If we don't do anymore to help this issues there will be more attacks like 9/11. We have more secruity such as at airports, we just need to focus on it more because some airport secruity are getting less responsible so we need to fix that to have less terrorist attacks. Terrorism is a very serious focus. Having tighter secruity can help prevent terrorist attacks to lead to a more peaceful country. For example, Al Qaida is still going on which is causing severe terrorists attacks that we can help to prevent.

What We can do to help. 1. Since weapons are being sent to Iraq what John McCain wants to do is send more U.S. soldiers to Iraq to show that the US will not abandon them, but will help provide leadership that Iraq needs to becom and econmically strong country.

2. John McCain disagrees with who ever wants to evacuate troops before the United States have helped support the Government of Iraq to insure the safeguard of their people. From June 2007 to March 2008, ethnic voilence level in Iraq has decreased by 90% and civil deaths in the streets is 70% less. This is the effect of the surge or the increase in power plan that John McCain is leading in.

3. Also, since Iraq is becoming an unstable country in genral McCain is willing to send more troops to Iraq and help them gather themselves and develop a strong economy so they can be a sturdy country. McCain does not want violence to come out of this.

Closing argument- Last month, at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, a crowd member asked McCain about a Bush statement that troops could stay in Iraq for 50 years. And John McCain stated...

"Maybe 100, as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed, it's fine with me and I hope it would be fine with you if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where al Qaeda is training, recruiting, equipping and motivating people every single day."

McCain's real idea when it comes to staying in Iraq is to help them, not harm them or have them harm us. He is willing to keep our troops there in order to help Iraq become a sturdy country with a stable government, no matter what Obama comercials say.
