WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today introduced binding and comprehensive legislation that not only reverses the President's dangerous and ill-conceived escalation of the Iraq war, but also sets a new course for U.S. policy that can bring a responsible end to the war and bring our troops home. "Our troops have preformed brilliantly in Iraq, but no amount of American soldiers can solve the political differences at the heart of somebody else's civil war," Obama said. "That's why I have introduced a plan to not only stop the escalation of this war, but begin a phased redeployment that can pressure the Iraqis to finally reach a political settlement and reduce the violence."

Phased surrender.

What a man.

Always remember, an anagram of the letters in Barack Hussein Obama reads “A car bomb has a use in ‘K’.” Now we just have to find out what ‘K’ stands for!

Anyone old enough to remember "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour"?
Obama belongs on the show.

The man who has absolutely no record decides to go ON RECORD with his first action being to insert his foot into his mouth.

Hitlery already has her staff working on this. Obama is going to give the witch a run for her money and drive her crazy.

[bnelson44]

It must have polled well in primary states.

[JerseyDvl]

Or even Wayne for that matter.
And I don't think much of the Palmer's and their willingness to negotiate with terrorists.
I see the parallel there though! Osama-Obama would gladly sell us out for his Muslim brethren.

[Jagman]

Yeah! I was thinking "Kaboom!"

[jch10]

I didn't know he was a military expert too! WOW!

[Disturbin]

This is why I don't have (or need) cable.

Watching these lunatic Dems take each other to pieces is fun and entertaining. And it's on every day until the primary!

a phased redeployment that can pressure the Iraqis to finally reach a political settlement and reduce the violence.

O Bama, methinks thou speaketh out of thy backside.

[Viking2002]

Hussein should force-feed himself a big helping of STFU while his MSM honeymoon is still in force. I figure it won't be too much longer until those ears of his will become fodder for Leno and Jon Stewart, and then even his supporters won't even be able to stifle their giggles at the mention of his name.

Obama is doing what you would expect from someone born a Muslim.

Jihad Hussein Obama - has a certain ring doesn't it.

If the American people want to surrender to the car bombers and beheaders, Obama is their man.
And along with surrender abroad, Obama would lower our defenses against terror here. He wants to close Guantanamo, end NSA eavesdropping of foreign terrorists, gut the Patriot, end renditions and extend "due process" rights to foreign terrorists. Incredibly, he would also end close vetting of Muslims seeking student visas here. He has said--November 2005--that such careful vetting by American consuls abroad amounts to "profiling" and violates the "civil liberties" of the foreign visa applicants. His pleasant demeanor masks a very dangerous man from the hate-America far left of the democratic party. A wolf in sheep's clothing. He belongs to a Chicago Church that has a web page characterizing America as a racist, imperialist country. In his first book, Obama said Americans abroad behaved with "arrogance and ignorance." It's all America's fault all the time. At a time of maximum national danger, one of our country's major parties is flirting with nominating a presidential candidate who does not love America, does not think her worth protecting. An appalling vista.

[etlib]

Can anyone explain why this lightweight with no real insights into anything and who comes up with prattle like this is getting so much media play?

[Right Wing Assault]

I didn't know he was a military expert too!

He must know even more than Jon Cary, that guy who was in Vietnam.

[samtheman]

What the hell is Bush waiting for? Why didn't he send the whole 20,000 last week, or the week before? Why's he hanging this plan out like a target for every idiot traitor in America to shoot at?

[fiefdomone]

Pull your pants up and leave your money on the nightstand.

[Cinnamon]

Obama is the same deal as any other democrat... cut and run.. while making it sound honorable. cowards

[Dilbert56]

Meanwhile, the Senate voted 81-0 to confirm General Patreus, who believes the additional troops are needed. There's a group I could compare Senators to but the Ladies of the Evening haven't warranted such an insult.

[Beckwith]

Now he's a military genius?

Interesting Obama tidbit.

Iis Darmawan, 63, Obama's kindergarten teacher, remembers him as an exceptionally tall and curly haired child who quickly picked up the local language and had sharp math skills. "He wrote an essay titled, 'I Want To Become President,'" the teacher said.
