Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama has decided he wants the troops out of Iraq and he wants them to begin leaving immediately.

He has proposed legislation that embraces losing in Iraq:

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, a Democratic presidential hopeful, joined two House members in proposing a measure to block Bush from implementing his planned troop increase, and to begin a withdrawal by May 1, with all combat brigades out by March 31, 2008.

Obama has decided that in order to defeat Hillary he needs money, and the money from the Far Left kooks flows to the candidate that embraces their most desired policy actions.

Hillary is going to play the "triangulation" game and hope that Leftist donors realize that she's still one of them, regardless of the centrist positions she may seem to be taking.

For Obama, this is a sign of weakness.

Pulling our troops out now only means putting them back in somewhere else in a couple of years.

How many times did Clintoon whine that H.W. didn't "finish the job" in '91? Sure, pull our troops out now, and listen to the Dims whine that "Dubya didn't finish the job in Iraq" for the next 10 years.

Scru Obama

He just made the major difference between he and Shrillary. She will capitalize on this and slam Barak as a "Has no history" ignorant.

Sorry Barak, you just strengthened the Clintonistas and gave us a dedicated target to beat.

Now we do not have to beat Barak or Shrillary. Obama is past, Shrillary is the target

Obama has the identical position as Al Qaeda, Iran, Syria, Hamas, bin laden and all the other islamofascists.

I just do not understand how these traitors have brainwashed so many Americans.

The first policy utterance from this genius was Socialized Medicine, the second was his view of Katrina, this his third is a total pull out of Iraq.

I guess he got nervous that Hillary was going to put a lock on the Communist Vote with her taking profits from private companies and investing them as she sees fit.

If the Democrats go any further to the left they are going to start making campaign appearances in Che' Guevera shirts.

Don't know... Probably the Honorable representative from Hawaii... He's always up for taking stupid stands on important issues.

It isn't as if he's risking his seat, considering Hawaii's residents tend to not care what their representatives do or say.

Sometimes I wonder if he considers himself an American.

Make no doubt about it, Obama supports Islam and manifests opposition to Christianity in this move. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The lowest of the low.

This is what's so dangerous about "charismatic" candidates. (We've had a couple of them become President in the past) Many are taken in by their charm and "promise," their knowledge or lack thereof doesn't even come into play.
