After bashing the Iraq War from Great Britain to Turkey Barack Obama further insulted the troops today by telling them that now was the time to start transferring sovereignty to the Iraqis. Iraqi Aswat Aliraq News reported:

“The coming 18 months may pose a danger to Iraq, and the time has come to transfer ‘sovereignty’ to Iraqis to run their own affairs,” Obama said.

What was completely missed by Obama was that 13 of 18 provinces are already completely under Iraqi control.

Obama is setting up some sound bites by which he can later claim credit for the work done in Iraq.

Yes, he thinks we're that stupid.

Every single quote from Obama seems to include the phrases “Now is the time” or “The time is now”. I guess it depends whether he looks at the right or the left teleprompter.

“Obama is setting up some sound bites by which he can later claim credit for the work done in Iraq.

Well, since a vast majority of people who voted for zero didn’t know that the donks took over Congress in 2006, he’s unfortunately correct, at least with respect to a huge swath of the dumbed-down American voting public...

You forgot the “let me make this clear” statement he loves to make. Kinda like you and I just don't understand and just can't comprehend what he means!

Did he thank Bush for his vision and leadership during the “ONGOING” war?

Yeah, or he says “I am going to say this as clearly as I can”... and, yes, his implication is that he thinks at a higher level than the rest of us and has to water down his thoughts for us to understand them.

"Let me make this clear"

Yes, and it has a very condescending and arrogant tone to it -- speaking down to subjects.

Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of Americans who are.

Yep. Just look at the “American Idol” thread, even here on FR...or take a look at what people are watching on TV...then compare that to the ignorance of basic facts that has been confirmed time & time again. Hell, most Americans can’t even find Israel or Iran or Iraq on a globe!!!

This sounds less like insults than ignorance. Stop being hypersensitive. Heaven knows there are enough real things to have concern about than to worry about minutiae.
