Obama timeline doable, Iraqi says

I do not see anyting in this article that says he consulted our military commanders and acknowledged their opinion before presenting his plan to Al Maliki. Did he ask General Petraeus if it was doable? It would also be interesting to find out what he feels the problem is in Afghanistan and how he will solve it. Two brigades won't be able to block the border of Pakistan. If he doesn't at least acknowledge the issue, it will become another Vietnam with a Bin Laden Trail in Pakistan instead of Ho Chi Minh. Obame needs to quit playing politics and analyze reality if he is going to lead. Right now all I see is a celebrity.

The press certainly has jumped on a lie in a hurry without conferring with the source. Iraq does not agree with Obama or his "plan". It is odd to me that he goes on a fact-finding trip with his plan already in place. From the picture above, it is evident that Obama's main support holds true in the military also. It is odd that blind trust guides our allegiances when someone appears to be like us. Obama is a left leaning socialist and will destroy the military and this country.

"while restoring our military and increasing our commitment to finish the fight in Afghanistan," she said" That would never happen with Obama as President. His views on a cut and run policy in Iraq would lend itself to Afghanistan in short order. When we send more troops to Afghanistan the operational tempo will increase, as it should. Then as we increase operations, the causality count will climb for our forces and for Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Obama is clearly on record being opposed to defeating our enemy, Al-Qaeda in Iraq. It wouldn't take long before he starts to sing the same kind of tune in Afghanistan that he did in Iraq.

"McCain foreign-policy adviser Randy Scheunemann responded late in the day after the Democrats mocked the Republican's silence on the major development." Major development? Troop withdraw was the planed from the start, it's just taking longer than expected. What happened to Obama's "Out by Spring '08" plan that he offered in Jan. 07? The Senator introduced a bill to force the "redeployment," remember? Now he's saying he's willing to wait another 18 months or longer, depending on the conditions "on the ground." That's been the position of Iraq, Bush, and the military leadership since the beginning. It looks to me that the "major development" here is that Obama actually is agreeing with President Bush on troop deployment strategy in Iraq, he just doesn't want to admit it. What's the matter Obama, don't want to show people that Bush as right (we can't have that, can we?) so you try to claim this as YOUR victory? Well, I, for one, am not falling for it.

When finally confronting American troops, how will Obama explain the Senate votes to force our military members into an ignominious defeat in Iraq; and, to deny funding for equipments essential to their survival for the young men and women whom they had "previously" voted to commit to lethal combat. A despicable breach of trust with those Military members laying their lives on the line in defense of our Nation. It’s incredible how quick the left is to hoist the “white flag” when confronted with adversity. Sound familiar? How far are they willing to retreat from those who have a visceral hatred for our Western culture before we’re finally cornered? How many more 9/11s is the Left prepared to endure before they would be willing to stand and fight? The neurosis of the liberal mindset defies rational explanation. Surely members of “The Greatest Generation” who demanded total victory over the Fascists of WW II, must hang their heads in shame when they witness the American Left of today cowering before the modern day threat of Islamofacism! Obama is our "home-grown" version of Hugo Chavez. His comments that he would use U.S. Military Forces against Pakistan, a Nation with a sizable nuclear arsenal, and an ally in the war on terror, even without President Musharraf's permission; a Nation that he mistakenly believed to be Arab; his indecision/confusion as to whether Iran poses a serious regional threat; while in other commentary, stating that he would halt the U.S. military's development of advanced weapons systems demonstrates a profound ignorance of the geopolitical threat environment confronting America. His long-term subversive associations, and his immersion in seditious anti-American diatribe have indeed revealed Obama as the real-life Manchurian Candidate. Obama would most certainly follow the disastrous Foreign Policy examples of Jimmy Carter in pursuing relations with our avowed enemies, only much worse. Political charlatan, Obama, has convinced his robotic cult followers that he can meet with Ahmejinedad without precondition; and, that the Iranian Islamofacist will experience a now infamous Obama epiphany and conversion to righteousness; and, "There Will Be Peace In Our Time". This is the very same Neville Obama who, because he frequently babbles incoherently when attempting to speak without a prepared text, is terrified of being exposed by meeting John McCain in a simple Town-Hall Forum. God help us if the majority of Americans are beguiled by this novice circus comic, who has never before performed under the "Big Tent"; and, the peddling of his "Magic Elixir " that Obama has claimed will "Heal The Planet".

My God, Obama is like the rooster trying to take credit for the dawn! This is just more B.S. from B.O. What a phony. How can anyone not see through this Emperor and his "new clothes"?

The picture with the article speaks volumes.

BO's timetable is feasible because of the success of the surge, something that he voted against and opposed. BO's position in Iraq has been "defeat and retreat" for years and that is no mark of a US leader. The difference today is that we are achieving victory in Iraq, something that dims cannot still contemplate

You have said it all Greg Neubeck. When all of the euphoria dies down, reasonable and prudent voters will see that the Democrats have offered up a very dangerous candidate.

Katrina, its "defeat" for Obama. And it's McCain not McBush. You don't like it when your candidate is called Buckwheat, or even by his full name: Muhammed Hussein el Bin Laden Obama.
