(July 22)[Notes:Obama in Jordan]In the first news conference of his highly publicized international trip, Barack Obama declared Afghanistan the central front in the war on terror.SOTBarack Obama"that is where the 9/11 attacks were planned, and today in afganistan and the border region of pakistan, al-qaida and the taliban are mounting a growing offensive against the security of the afgahni people while plotting new attacks against the United States" [Notes:file of Obama meeting officials in Afghanistan, Iraq]Obama's trip began with stops in Afghanistan and Iraq.The likely Democratic presidential nominee said his meetings in Iraq showed him that political reconciliation lags behind security gains. SOTBarack Obama "the message we heard from Iraq's leaders is that they're ready to do more and they're ready to take more responsibility for their country, and i believe the best way to support Iraqi soveirgnty and encourage the Iraqis to stand-up is through the responsible redeployment of our combat brigades" [Notes:troops in iraq]Obama reiterated his goal of withdrawing U-S combat troops within 16 months of taking office. Following Obama's meetings with Iraqi officials Monday, a government spokesman said the Iraqis support withdrawing U-S troops by sometime in 2010.That fits into Obama's timetable. [Notes:McCain in New Hampshire]But Obama's Republican rival John McCain says that if Obama had his way, the U-S would have faced defeat in Iraq.SOTJohn McCain"my friends, that would have been a catastrophe for the United States of America.

The Catch-22 for ... ( 2 months ago by Nin1963)
The Catch-22 for McCain is that the more the surge succeeds, the more politically advantageous it is for Obama. Voters don't care about the surge,they care about the war. Maliki's support for an Amer troop drawdown undoubtedly pushes the perceived stakes even lower...McCain can still press his advantage on foreign policy. But not with I-told-you-sos. Re-arguing the surge is almost as counterproductive as re-arguing the war itself. Elections are about the future," - Jonah Goldberg, NRO.

oh god he's got to give a speach now. what a stupid fuck. obama doesn't belong in politics.. well maybe in a 3rd world county he would be a good leader but not in the united states. after giving a speach in spanish and his comments about speaking spanish instead of the american language it's not to hard to figure out he doesn't represent us.

although i know you're a racist, i don't necessarily disagree with you. i like him but i have no misgivings about what he is. he's a puppet just like all politicians are. BUT, who else do you vote for? you have to know that mccain is arguably less intelligent than W, but definitely more out of touch. so what's your suggestion? there will be no apocalypse, there will be no organized clandestine guerilla liberation initiative. so what do you do?

I keep telling you that Islam is no more a race than pig's shit is an animal. But I know that in your clay-mation class they told U to use your imagination!
I also have shown you that even Muhammed was a racist and that white slaves got the better price. Or do U call buyers of white slave bigots or bargain hunters? :)
Now as far as UR gene pool goes I want to know if OPEC is offering a refund! In that 5+ generations of welfare and CETA was a dismal failure! Anyone but!

I think that McCains so called 'Advantage' in the foreign policy department is slipping with the old brain cells in his head. His recent fouls on the names of various countries and historic time lines will be sure to enter into the debates. I can't see Obamas team failing to point out that when Johnny comes marching home from all those trips to the middle east, that he still doesn't know a Shiite from a Sunni...
We should have ... ( 2 months ago by marinecoop)
We should have never gone to Iraq. We do not learn from our past mistakes i.e Veitnam. I am disgusted with our goverment and their obvious carelessness for American lives both home and abroad. Our forefathers are turning in their graves right now. This is not what they wanted when they abopted the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson said if you have a government big enough to give you anything, then you have a government big enough to take everything from you. I believe that it has come to that.

A GREAT TRAITOR ! WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence. According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
