Sources: Obama Will Visit Iraq Before Convention
(CBS)
From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic:
(WASHINGTON) Barack Obama will travel to Iraq and Afghanistan before the Democratic convention in August, Democratic sources tell CBS News. Earlier today, Obama spoke to Iraqi president, Jalal Talabani, and told Talabani he will be visiting the war zone soon.
The Obama campaign issued the following statement after the telephone conversation: “I was pleased to speak with President Talabani during his stay here in the United States. We discussed the security situation in Iraq, and the political accommodation that is necessary for long-term stability. We also discussed the ongoing negotiations with the Bush Administration over a Status of Forces Agreement and the Strategic Framework Agreement, which I believe must be subject to congressional approval, and done in the context of planning for a responsible removal of American troops. It is not in America’s interest or Iraq’s interest for there to be an open-ended commitment to keep U.S. troops in Iraq.”
Obama came under fire by John McCain earlier this month for not visiting Iraq since 2006, and proposed that they visit the country together. Obama declined the offer but expressed interest in visiting the war zone on his own.
Obama met with Talabani during his last trip to Iraq in 2006.
Obama is worthless,
Will he stop in Iran or Palestine on his travels

What Happened to the Parsley & Hagee Endorsements ?
Hamas Withdrew it Support of Obama an what Difference does it make that they did ?
Obama did not ask for Hamas`s Endorsment.
Hamas is a Democratically Elected Government.
Did1nt Israel & Palestine (Hamas) draw a Temporary Truce.
You Afro American & Arab Hating Racist are Pathetic !!
McCain Rejected parsley because of his hate of Islam and Apologized to the American Muslim & Muslims around the World.
You Hate him Too...Huh
I`ll be Glad when All Candidates say, in Debates `I`m Implementing the Seperation of Church & State Rule` ...
My Religion is the Constitution.
My Religion, is to the (Republic) For which It Stands.
My Religions are the Senate, Congress, The State, This Nation and Its People.
You Hypocrites can Have Your Religion, I have Enough on My Plate, as You can See.
John McCain has Hagee & Parsley to Denounce, and You give McCain the Pass & Accept Every Excuse, but when its Obama...You all just Pile On.
Seperation of Chuch & State...For ALL Candidates.
They should not Attend Church...Anywhere.
Because the Pastor-Preacher can say Anything Controversial, at Any Time and this can Only Hurt the Politician, who may or may not have been in the Church, when the Pastor- Preacher says what he says.
All Politicians should use this Election as a sign...Seperate, Church & State...Permamently.
PS: Politicians & Most People don`t Attend Church Religously, Devoutly..Anyway, Just Like YOU...HYPOCRITES.
I`d Love to See Your Church and its Members.

Look at the Mortgage Crisis, Look at the Record High Foreclosures !!
No Big Deal !!
Look at the High Outsourcing of Manufacturing Jobs to International Countries and the High Unemployment rate, here in the USA.
Thats OK Bush Jr. has the Utmost EXPERIENCE in National & International Affairs.
Though Bush had No National-International Experience, Prior to becoming President.
Sure his Father Bush Sr. & Bush Jr. have a more than 25 Yrs. Family Friends Relationship, with the Bin Ladens and still are Family Friends of the Bin Ladens.
Sure Bush Jr. gave FBI Clearence to Fly the Bin Ladens & the Elite Saudi`s home just days after (911)..
During a No Fly Zone Period, when Bush could`ve Detained them, until Bin Laden`s Capture or Surrender...
No Big Deal !!
Never mind the Direct Saudi Arabian & United Arab Emirates (911 Connection) to Piloting the Planes.
No Big Deal !!
Never Mind Bush Jr. Allowing the United Arab Emirates Controling All the USA`s Major Shipping Ports, with Help from Bush & Bill Clinton.
Bush Jr. is White, he has the National & International Experience...
Did I mention, George Bush Jr. is White..
Keep the White House...White !!!!
No Matter how Incompetent the Person may be !!!
And?
Are we supposed to be impressed or something?
Seeing as how most every other senator has been over there to get a feel for the troops, and the Iraqi people...and Obama has performed his anti-war snit and not gone over there isn''t just real impressive to me. How''s this ******* going to find a solution if he can''t do anything but stand back and b***tch and moan about it?
The Big A$$ LIAR
Your Fearless 72 Yr Old Aryan Leader
The fake
McCain is a Worthless, Ole 72 Yr. Old Man.
When Will McCain Drop Nuclear Bombs on Iran or Palestine on his Travels ?
Obama visited Iraq in 2006, I guess that was to counter Fearless McCain Too
Hahahaha
Obamas Yor next President....

More tahn I can say about the 150, 000 troops that they didn''t choose to go but, bush sent and mcsame wants to keep for 100 years
Posted by jack3213
He said he would keep them in Iraq for 100 years. Keep them in a war xone for 100 years. sounds like combat to me. It seems you are making the soldier sacrificail lambs, since they were "not drafted."
Ans: Like YOU Voting for Bush Jr. for 2 Terms as President. The USA`s in Great Shape, Huh !!
And if you read the policies Obama advocates you would see that he does not know what he is talking about.
Ans: Oh Yeah, Bush Jr. Knows what he`s Talking About. The Biggest Government Dolling of Funds, in History.
And would put this country at Great Risk- he would Raise Your Taxes.
Ans: You Mean like the Great Risk, Bush Jr. has put the USA...Too Late for that !
Speak No Truths, Ills or Facts about that Incompetent GW.Bush Jr. He`s White...Never.
And bring Unqualified Characterisitics to a Great Country he wants to "change"
Ans: Unqualified !! President GH.Bush Sr. is the only President to have Both National & International Experience.
Bush Sr. was the CIA Director (International) & Rep. VP. for 2 Terms & his A$$ Lasted only One Term as President. He was considered a Wimp and left the Oval Office, with Very Weak Ratings.
His Son George has Topped All Outgoing Presidents.
-----------------
John McCain: The ONLY change is that he changes his mind every minute- That is just Scary-Crazy.
Ans: I Agree with Your last statement about John McCain, he does CHANGE HIS 72 YR OLD, SEMI-SENILE MIND, EVERY SECOND OF EVERY MINUTE.
Note: Name a Year that the Taxes in this Country were Never Raised..

B.S.
Ans: Like YOU Voting for Bush Jr. for 2 Terms as President.
The U.S Of A is in Great Shape, Because of Bush Jr... Huh Buddy !!
And if you read the policies Obama advocates you would see that he does not know what he is talking about.
Ans: Oh Yeah, Bush Jr. Knows what he`s Talking About. His Policies of the last 7 1/2 Years have Proven their Worth, in America an Around the World.
Note: George W. Bush has been one of the Biggest Government Dolling of Funds, in History !!
Obama would put this country at Great Risk- he would Raise Your Taxes.
Ans: You Mean like the Great Risk, Bush Jr. has put the USA...
Too Late for that !
------------------
Note: Name a Year that the Taxes in this Country were Never Raised Or Increased..
Ans: Never
Its called Inflation..
A$$ 4 A Hole !!!
George H. Bush Sr. Promised No New Taxes an he Lost the Election to BBill Clinton.
Inflation Dictates Taxation, they go Hand in Hand....
Duh !!!
----------------------------------
McCain, Did say, he would keep the US Troops there as long as it took, to get the Oil, that is...
Even it it Took (100 Yrs)
Meaning: To Colonize, the iraq Region, Profit Off the Oil in Iraq, Establish Military Bases, like the Bases in Kuwait..
No Matter what an However Long it takes and No Matter the USA Troops Lives that will be Lost!!
So yeah, Mccain Meant what he said.
The Colonization of iraq and the Profiteering of their Oil, takes Presidense Over Expendable USA Troops & Innocent Iraqi`s Lives.
Oil is King !!
Black Gold is King !!
Iraq is Now America`s 4-5th Largest Supplier of Oil...
I wonder how that All came About ??

Is taht all you got. Such an articulate response. But then again I may be missinterpreting "bs" You could mean "Brilliant statement" So then again thank you

As American Voters, we need to change a few things that have resulted from 8 years of Conservatism:
Perpetual War, Mismanagement, and Fear Mongering.
Unfair taxation of the Middle Class and Tax Cuts to the WEALTHY.
High prices for Gasoline, Electricity, and Everything Else!
High Medical Costs and Prescription Drugs.
Pollution
Invasion of Privacy, and disregard for our Constitution.
The Politicalization of our Justice Department.
Corruption, Corruption, Corruption.
Religious Hypocrisy and abuse of tax laws.
Degradation of our Infrastructure.
Continued export of American Jobs to overseas Slave Labor.
Decline in US stature and respect of the World Community.
Not to mention 35 impeachable offenses committed by George W. Bush and Richard Cheney. The Republican Party needs to be held accountable by the American People.
ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE DUMMOCRATS AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? THE DEMOCRATS ARE DUMMIES- THEY HAVE FAILED IN CONGRESS THEY HAVE FAILED AS LIBERALS AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO CLUE. THEY WILL MAKE YOU PROMISES AND YOU WILL BELEIVE IN FANTASIES AND YOU WILL FOREVER BE DISAPPOINTED. TIME TO GROW UP.

The George Bush Administration and the Rubber Stamp Republican Congress we%u2019ve all witnessed and lived through there disastrous results and yes, I along with the majority of Americans are DISAPPOINTED to say the least.
The United States Government was created by the People for the People not for some Multinational Oil Corporation and War Mongers.
If it''s time to grow up, why don''t you take the lead?
It''s not just liberals who want change from Bush and McCain, so I think it''s you who hasn''t got a clue.
Regarding the Dems, the GOP had total control of the government for 6 years and Congress 6 years prior to that and accomplished not ine of their Campaign promises.
You all should talk.

Perhaps this trip could highlight how our country sustains wars without having to demonstrate political fortitude to activate a draft via an official Selective Service System.
How much tax money is annual depleted to maintain, operate, and staff a dust collecting US Selective Service System?
Who has political chutzpah to use this paper tiger war support and troop bolstering resource?
Instead US cowardly and ingeniously shackles military volunteers and then burns them out legally. Land of the free?
STOP LOSS, In Lieu of Taskings (ILO), 8 year minimum service obligations for advertised 2,3,4,6, enlistment options, Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) call ups, Army recruiting 17-41 years olds, and felony waivers all contribute to hazy smoke screen sham, a US government shanghai subterfuge to maintain war fighting troop numbers.
Would citizens support a formal Selective Service System draft call up for this war?
If answer is no, then why do citizens allow government manipulation to legally abuse loopholes to press gang those already serving in a supposed All Volunteer Force to serve at perpetual pleasure of Commander in Chief?
Why does American public allow President as Commander in Chief backed by Congress to shamefully get away with a read the fine print, covert war conscription, and unofficial backdoor draft by stealth?
