Barack Obama views, before the surge:

%u201CI am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.%u201D

Again, your argument is hilaaaaaaaaarious. His mother, a US Citizen, gave birth to him. He''s a Citizen no matter WHAT location he was popped out at on the Globe. You''ll recall Pappy was born outside the US also, Einstein....LMMFAO...you guys are a Hoot.

[vnveteran72]

WRONG!!!!
YOUR DADDY IS NOT HEAD COACH HERE.
RULES FOR ONE SIDE APPLIES TO THE OTHER SIDE.

IF U WANT TO MAKE THE ARGUMENT that mcCain should be viewed thru Bush''''s eyes, then the same can be said of Obama and all his associates, including his questionable friendships.

Again, your argument is laugable. Pappy and Shrub are linked by their 8 years of interaction and direct support. No like record exists for Obama, unless you reference his opposition to Shrub''s Treasonous Reign.
Request a second opinion.

[vnveteran72]

obviously you deal in assumptions?
read my friend..... because you have it all wrong.
RNC HAS RAISED FAR, FAR, FAR MORE THAN THE DNC.

-----TTHAT!!!! is fact.

Of course. They are very happy to take as much money as their tightly knit group of lobbyist buddies will give them.

Check the amount of donations from Private Citizens to the DNC and Obama as opposed to the RNC/Pappy and you see where their money is coming from. Big War, Big Oil, and Big Pharm. After all, if the GOP loses in November, the Giddy Free-For-All Money Faucet will be shut down for the first time in 8 years. Withdrawl will be long and painful for Cash Junkie Criminal Corporate America......

Barack Obama may be on a world tour surrounded by a fawning media, but Sunday an expert in electronic document forensics released a detailed report on the purported birth certificate -- actually a "Certificate of Live Birth" or COLB -- claimed as genuine by his campaign. The expert concludes with 100% certainty that it is a crudely forged fake: "a horribly forgery." Obama arrives in Israel later this week."

Maybe we could get this guy to find Shrub''s missing attendance records from the Air Force....LMMFAO

[vnveteran72]

THE CANDIDATE IS JOHN MCCAIN.
should we link obama with Jimmy Carter?


Your argument makes no sense. McShrub backed the Little Decider more than any other Legislator.
Jimmy Carter and Obama have no connection of cronyism or anything else BUT Party.
If you want to make a comparison, there is none.

[vnveteran72]

Fight McCain with mcCain, not his PARTY!!!!!
get a grip.
dont u kno if u got nothing then NOTHING''''S WHAT U GOT?

Struck a nerve, huh???.....LMMFAO

[vnveteran72]

If Obama was "Not Smart" or "Incorrect" in his non-support of the "Surge", how much more Stupid and Wrong was Shrub in ignoring the Military Leadership when they told him it would take far more Soldiers than his plan called for to secure the entire Country?
McShrub: "I supported the President more than any other Senator"......yes, we know Pappy.....

[nolalou]

All of Obama''''s cash sure hasn''''t made him any smarter. Will he finally admit that the Iraq surge was successful and he was wrong to oppose it?
We''''re waiting...

The problem with your argument is you assume McCain is right when he said the surge worked! If you look at the original goal of the surge it was to allow the Iraqi government time to get it''s act together , and bring in the Sunni minority. Well the Iraqi government does not have it''s act together, and rival factions are still killing each other. Yes , some areas where the surge took place saw a temporary reduction in violence, but you can''t claim the surge worked when it did not acceve it''s stated goal!

[it_oldtimer]

The very fact that a military "surge" was even needed in the first place simply underscores the fact that Bush obviously didn''t have a clue what he was doing to begin with! He totally underestimated the actual situation from day one onward.

That has not changed. He''s still clueless. So are the GOP and McCain.

[vnveteran72]

It''s common knowledge even among GOP Pundits that the RNC is far behind the DNC in available funds to promote their agenda and campaign in troubled districts. It''s also common knowledge that the GOP will lose more seats in both Houses this go around, on the low side talk is 15 to 20 seats. On the other end is a Complete Massacre......If by some miracle Pappy could pull off a win, he''d have to deal with a Huge Majority in both Houses. His agenda would be dead before it took it''s first breath.
8 years of the Bush/Cheney Crime Cartel''s Assault on the Constitution, Rule of Law, and our National Economy, have left them with 14% of Americans singing their praises.......Good luck in November, Neocons....

[rob416]

John McCain says he is right about Iraq and Afghanistan and Obama is wrong. How does McCain know?
Neither war zone has been resolved! Sen. McCain keeps saying the surge is working, but he fails to say what would happen when all of the increased numbers of US troops are withdrawn. He says we must win in Iraq, but he does not define victory.

Make no mistake McCain is just an extension of Bush with a war mentality of fighting wars with nations, winning and signing a cease fire and treaty. Elect John McCain and get the ghosts of George W Bush, *** Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and cast of hundres of conservative republican that have a hard enough time thinking in the box much less out.

Don''t hold your breath Mike.

[xlib]

ANNNNND-the point of this non-story. Say, where''s the story on the ny times not printing mccain''s op ed piece because it didn''t contain what the times THOUGHT it should?/
So, leemings, tell us again how there isn''t any bias in the media.

"The press will not tell you anything about the fact that 15 out of 18 political benchmarks have been met successfully by the Iraqi Governement to date."

Posted by OneAmerican


1. The press will only whisper the fact that the standards which define these political benchmarks as being accomplished had to be lowered in order to make this claim.

2. If these political benchmarks have in fact been accomplished, then it only adds support Obama''s position on Iraq (A time line/General time horizon) what ever you want to call it.


3. The Repubs. need to decide if they are going complain that Obama either does or doesn''t have a plan, so far all I here from the GOP is complaining:

(Obama''s an Elitist, a Muslim, he attended a Christian Church that we don''t like, he''s got no plan, I don''t like his plan, he changed the plan that he doesn''t have, he''s only been to Iraq once, he''s going to Iraq, he''s in iraq, but we don''t like it because the media''s covering it.) and you call the Democrats "whiners."

HA!

[danielle_mom]

Can I put my vote in today and get rid of all of this election hype.

The amount of money they spend is the entire annual budget of most non-profits. Only the Red Cross, Salvation Army and the Rainbow coalition may have larger budgets.

[randynason]

McCain: " I could wile away the hours, conferrin'' with the flowers, consultin'' with the rain. And my head I''d be scratchin'' While my thoughts were busy hatchin'' If I only had a . . . . . . ; ) "

Obama: "... Brain."

[dnsallday]

I find it curious that the news media only takes any interest in Iraq because Barack Obama is taking a short trip there - and it is only his second trip.
