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.

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”.

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.

Hey, the guy did the right thing. For once.

Did he do the right thing for the wrong reasons?

I think it very likely. But, compared to the rest of his trip, Presidentcy life, this is something I not only cannot condemn, but must praise.

'Guilty as hell, free as a bird—America is a great country,' he [Ayers] said."

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON

_________________________________________________________

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007. They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

Really? All these photos of him at one time? It was sensory overload for me. Now I am nauseated....no kidding. I can NOT stomach this dude. I just want to cry or scream or pray or hit something every time I see his ugly mug.
