You sound like the kid in class that likes to snitch to the teacher so you can be the teachers pet. Unless you know something about how the intelligence community works, it is very hard to report anything. Those working in intelligence will never admit to where they work, especially CIA. They will only say they are employed by the state department. It is for security reasons.

I am surprised that pope Obama did''t take Hanoi Jane with him. He has all these advisors, why not her???
Since he has been anoited by ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC because he is so great, it is evident that they are in the tank for him. You won''t hear one bad word about him from any of the new people. Such a shame. he is just like Milinie Vanillie.

I hope he surrenders while he is over there. Would do us all good. Maybe he should pull out now!!

whiskyrocker,

You''re so right. The evidence speaks for itself. Not!

I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda.

I am not opposed to all wars. I%u2019m opposed to dumb wars.

"How many people will be surprised if Obama suddenly dies in a horrible plane crash?! I won''t." Posed by DaysRnumbrd

Me either; however, "they" will have to make it look like a terrorist attack. Maybe take out the Empire State Building this time.

Rival John McCain has criticized Obama for his lack of time in the region, and the Republican National Committee had a running ticker tallying the more than 900 days since his last visit to Iraq.

As Obama boarded the plane, luggage in hand, a pair of uniformed Air Force officers at the foot of the stairs saluted simultaneously, as they do each time President Bush boards Air Force One
----------------------------------------------
First, I bet that McCain by now has fired the advisors who egged Obama to undertake these trips and taken a hammer to the clock.

While these two officers are probably in trouble, it is a stark reminder that even the military rank and file prefer Obama to McCain.

Afghanistan bores Bush and Cheney. Not a bunch of light sweet crude there.

We''re in the 7th year of war in Afghanistan and 8% of all our troops killed in that country have died in the past 6 weeks. The Bushies dropped the ball and decided to make Iraq a new training ground for Al-Qaeda while also allowing them to rebuild in Afghanistan. We were told that we were fighting them in Iraq so we didn''t have to fight them here. But, really, we were training them in Iraq so they could attack us in Afghanistan instead. And, Chertie just told us that Al-Qaeda can get EU passports and attack us here anyway. Great job Bushies. By the way, whose side are you on in this war anyway?

The Obama Express is in full swing. His landslide election is creeping closer daily.

Afghanistan. Cons? Remember Afghanistan? A guy named Bin Laden planned the 9-11 attacks from there. Remember him?
