Obama: We Must Surrender in Iraq to Win in Iraq
Barack Obama is still set on surrendering in Iraq- so that we can somehow win in Iraq?????
Critics Blast Obama for Setting Foreign Policy Before Iraq Visit
Barack Obama’s continued call for a troop withdrawal timetable in Iraq has critics complaining that he’s set on that policy before even taking his highly anticipated trip to the Middle East.
The Illinois senator has over the past two days escalated a campaign to minimize Iraq in the context of the overall war on terror.
Obama on Wednesday stressed the need to secure loose nuclear material and draw down nuclear stockpiles around the world. He said if the nation devoted just one month of Iraq combat costs, estimated to be $10 billion, it could virtually wipe out the threat of weapons-grade nuclear material falling into the hands of terrorists.
In what was billed as a major foreign policy address Tuesday, Obama said the Iraq war has become a distraction from fighting terrorism in Afghanistan and pledged to end the war by the summer of 2010.
“He’s going to Iraq but he’s already decided his position,” Sen. Joe Lieberman, told FOX News on Wednesday. “He’s not going to listen to (David) Petraeus. He’s not going to listen to our troops. He’s not going to listen to his own eyes with what he sees there.”
LOL But that is not all this is the craziest thing what he thinks he can get away with writing and re-writing his website like a whim. Yes he sure is Presidential material..... NOT!
Barack Obama purges Web site critique of surge in Iraq
Barack Obama's campaign scrubbed his presidential Web site over the weekend to remove criticism of the U.S. troop "surge" in Iraq, the Daily News has learned.
The presumed Democratic nominee replaced his Iraq issue Web page, which had described the surge as a "problem" that had barely reduced violence.
"The surge is not working," Obama's old plan stated, citing a lack of Iraqi political cooperation but crediting Sunni sheiks - not U.S. military muscle - for quelling violence in Anbar Province.
The News reported Sunday that insurgent attacks have fallen to the fewest since March 2004.
Obama's campaign posted a new Iraq plan Sunday night, which cites an "improved security situation" paid for with the blood of U.S. troops since the surge began in February 2007.
It praises G.I.s' "hard work, improved counterinsurgency tactics and enormous sacrifice."
Campaign aide Wendy Morigi said Obama is "not softening his criticism of the surge. We regularly update the Web site to reflect changes in current events."
GOP rival John McCain zinged Obama as a flip-flopper. "The major point here is that Sen. Obama refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong," said McCain, adding that Obama "refuses to acknowledge that it [the surge] is succeeding."
Let's go to the ones that KNOW, that have been there and fought in this war. This is the newest Vets For Freedom ad
Wild Thing's comment.........
LOL I swear this is not only shocking but the extreme of stupidity. He’s way in over his head. He has not a clue! Who in their right mind er a left mind....haha would make any kind of statements like Obama has been doing before they talk to anyone about how it is in Iraq.

You don't surrender to win! You don't quit while you're ahead. He's probably the kid who threw the game board across the room when it didn't go his way. And we've already won anyway. The Iraqis are in the front more often and we're just there to help. But the defeatist left wants us to believe that we can't win because we're the big bad wolf! When all is said and done, we'll have a great ally in the middle east and they will have the freedom they've been crying for for centuries.

The yellow coat Moveover.Orgy crowd is self destructing, big time. This is GOOD news for US! I'm beginning to realize that Baa Baa Barack is all image and not as intelligent as I once thought he was! The independent and moderate voters will see this as well.

Cut and run to appease his muzzy buddies, he has no roots, like all muzzies he has no fatherland, his citizenship is questioned as well as the legitimacy of his birth. Keep on talking Hussein the whole world is listening. The French are already looking for someone to accept their surrender, take it and leave Barak you are nothing but a phony puppet.
Cheryl Zee , what you say inspires me and that's not hateful it's truthful- patriot!!!:)

TV anchors Charles Gibson (ABC), Brian Williams (NBC), and Katie Couric (CBS) will accompany Barack Obama to Iraq. Will any of them, particularly Charles Gibson, critically challenge Obama on his already decided upon 16 month withdrawal (surrender) plan as reviewed in the ABC News story and video below? Will any of them actually report on the logistic details and security exposures of such a withdrawal? I think not.
Obama's Iraq Withdrawal Plan May Prove Difficult

Cheryl, LOL you don't sound hateful at all. You love America and that is where all our passion about this comes from, we see what Obama could do to our country and all of us if he was allowed to do so.
