Caption Obama's Photo-Op...er...I mean "Surprise" visit to Iraq

[Lucky9teen]

Iraqis gather in a cafe in to watch news coverage of U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Iraq in Najaf, 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Baghdad, Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Cheered wildly by U.S. troops, President Barack Obama flew unannounced into Iraq on Tuesday and promptly declared it was time for Iraqis to 'take responsibility for their country' after America's commitment of six years and thousands of lives

Yeah, right. Real surprise. Fox was reporting he was going there before he got on the plane in Turkey.

He was makin’ up after spending 7 days dissing the US.

The BS just keeps piling up.

[Sir Clancelot]

After a week trashing the US, going to Iraq is like the sorbet to cleanse the palate before returning home.

I wonder if they are changing the song the Marine band plays when he enters the room from “Hail to the Chief” to “Bow to the Iman”.

Making good on his campaign promises ... "Now don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

[Lucky9teen]

"Is this where I can find Muslims...er...um....uh....Americans....to pander to?

[Mind Freed]

"Michelle didn't come with me... You want a tour of Air Force One?"

[skeeter]

Too bad the teleprompter didn't run Obama's Strasbourg speech for the troops.

They need to know just what kind of arrogant country it is they're fighting & dying for.

[Fast Moving Angel]

Cheered wildly by U.S. troops,

Yeah, right ... I wonder if they were ordered to cheer wildly.

Cheered wildly by U.S. troops ...

Were they ordered to?

[NeverEVERKerry]

Hereeesssssss Bambi!

[Sister_T]

LOL!! It does look like he’s saying that, doesn’t he?

[bert]

We have seen the enemy and he is the President

[bannie]

Sometimes it’s hard to be a good soldier.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Yeah, they were SO happy to see him.

[AppyPappy]

"Are you telling me that all these people have access to guns? Isn't that dangerous? What if someone gets shot?"

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Cheered wildly by U.S. troops...

Oh, BS. The media can't even lie convincingly.

[Sister_T]

You’re probably right. He’s got some support in the Armed Forces as well and they probably wanted a good photo-op so allow those who don’t want to see the 0 to be somewhere else.

[NeverEVERKerry]

"Leave the helicopter running. I might not be welcomed here."

[newfreep]

I’m shocked they had so many cheering for “that one”. Has the military gone over to the dark side?
