Fair enough. But let's be honest. Obama was a nobody in 2003. It's easy to speak out against something when you're a state legislator, not a congressman, and you don't have to actually vote on the issue.
Has he pledged to remove all troops from Iraq by a certain date? No, he won't commit to anything. As far as I know, none of the candidates, minus Paul, have made the pledge to immediately pull troops out of Iraq, or set a time table.
Obama's position on the war is better than "100 Years McCain," but not by much.
