Obama Vows to Bring "responsible end to the War in Iraq" - Video 10/22/08

Here is video of Sen. Barack Obama speaking following a meeting of Foreign Policy Advisers in Richmond, Virginia today. Obama vowed to bring a "responsible end to the War in Iraq." He did not elaborate on what that means exactly. But he did link ending the War in Iraq to the U.S. Economy, saying we cannot afford to continue spending 1.3 billion a month in Iraq. He also said we needed to end the War in Iraq in order to concentrate on the War in Afghanistan.

It is clear he does not see that both theaters of operation are part of the same Worldwide War on Terror that seeks to destroy Al-Qaeda in both places. . . . . (Watch Video)

His plan is for all military personel to raise both hands in surrender and back out of the country with their honor and pride left on the battle field.

The Iraq war IS winding down, we’re bringing troops home. If Barack would show up in the Senate once in awhile maybe he’d know that.

When the Taliban and al Qaeda rats all abandon Barry’s manned up force in Afghanistan and park themselves in Pakistan and Northern Iraq- we are all pucked.

Remember, he still hasn’t said he will bring a VICTORIOUS end to the war. He can’t seem to get that word out of his mouth.

Obama's plan is to hand Iraq over to the Iranians, then negotiate the restoration of the Taliban (who will promise with crossed fingers not to support Al Qaeda again) and declare the WOT over.

He will then gut the military to shift funds over to buying more votes at home.
