Oh, this from the man who insisted that Bolton said something but it was discovered he was quoting Josh Bolten.

If Mr. Obama can not see the benefit of having our troops smack dab in the middle of Muslem Central, instead of twiddling their fingers over in the states, then I am definitely glad that he has no say in determining our safety.

Whenever I see this lightweight's name mentioned I think of the time when the senior Senator from Chappaquiddick referred to him as Osama Obama (I kid you not!).

But Iraq is, "A dumb war. We haven't thought it through," Obama said.

I submit that Osama Obama is the dumb one! The old 'we haven't thought it through. We haven't planned it properly. We didn't do Y, instead we did X'. Aaaagh! I'm sure all those planners over at the Pentagon and on the ground in Iraq were just sitting on their hands, thinking events would just take care of themselves.

This is the Dems playbook from now to November. But I notice they are not positing what should have been done differently!

Yet another Democrat chimes in on the war for survival of the west.

I hope he keeps it up. This guy has presidential ambitions. His comments go to show the Democrats have to be kooks from now on.

What, exactly, has Obama ever done to warrant such glowing press?
Seriously, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, has he accomplished anything significant? Authored any legistation?
Climbed a tree to save a cat? Grand Marshalll of hometown July 4th parade?
Or, is he wonderful becuase Democrats and his acolytes in the media keep telling us so?

We're seeing the true picture of Obama. That "moderate" stuff the left was raving about was all flash.

He should direct more concern for the headchoppers looking to reclaim their honor from his turning away from Islam. Or was that just for future conciliation?

"Like most religions, Islam in general, forbids lying. The Quran says, "Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies." Surah 40:28. In the Hadith, Mohammed was also quoted as saying, "Be honest because honesty leads to goodness, and goodness leads to Paradise. Beware of falsehood because it leads to immorality, and immorality leads to Hell."

However, unlike most religions, within Islam there are certain provisions under which lying is not simply tolerated, but actually encouraged. The book "The spirit of Islam," by the Muslim scholar, Afif A. Tabbarah was written to promote Islam. On page 247, Tabbarah stated: "Lying is not always bad, to be sure; there are times when telling a lie is more profitable and better for the general welfare, and for the settlement of conciliation among people, than telling the truth. To this effect, the Prophet says: 'He is not a false person who (through lies) settles conciliation among people, supports good or says what is good.""

DFU SONG: Let's Call the Whole Thing Off (Teddy - you say Obama and I'll say Osama)
DFU SONGS | 1-2005 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 01/14/2005 6:48:21 PM PST by doug from upland

LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF

Keep on pouring and I'll get blotto...then I will go get in my auto
My legs quiver...my poor liver...I'm lucky I'm not dead

You say Obama and I say Osama...pass me the bottle, I'll step on the throttle
Obama, Osama, the bottle, the throttle...let's go drive on the bridge

I guess that I shouldn't speak while drunk...that's what some pundits note
And I should drive a Vee Dub...an Oldsmobile can't float

Dodd and I so love a good waitress sandwich
Pass me the mustard, and pass me the Manwich

My legs quiver...oh, my poor liver...I'm so lucky I am not dead
I'm lucky I'm not dead

My apartment last week was burgled...in my dreams, I still hear her gurgle
My legs quiver...my poor liver...I'm lucky I'm not dead

You say Obama and I say Osama...pass me the bottle, I'll step on the throttle
Obama, Osama, the bottle, the throttle...let's go drive on the bridge

I guess that I shouldn't speak while drunk...that's what some pundits note
And I should drive a Vee Dub...an Oldsmobile can't float

I'll weigh 400 if I keep on eating...artery clogging will stop my heart beating
My legs quiver...oh, my poor liver...I'm so lucky I am not dead
I'm lucky I'm not dead

"Iraq is a dumb war" is a dumb thing to say and marks the person who says it as dumb.

Another thing worth pointing out is that the people who are perpetuating war in Iraq at the moment are not members of the US military, they are terrorists and infiltrators who come from Iraq and neighboring countries. "War" exists (if at all) because of their actions, not ours; if they would stop, the "war" would be over. So if Obama thinks it is a "dumb war", he should direct that comment towards the people who are actually waging war at the moment. That ain't us.

Enemies in Iran and North Korea, along with terrorist groups bent on doing the United States harm, are getting stronger while the U.S. is bogged down in Iraq, he said.

Crocodile tears. So he thinks Iran and North Korea are "getting stronger"? What does he want us to do about it then? Anything? Nope. (Other than signing pieces of paper, presumably.) Would he approve use of the military against those two nations? Of course not. Thus, whining about our military being "bogged down" is disingenuous. It's not like he wants them to be doing something else (other than coming home).

I'm already seeing Obama for President stickers in a few places.

Oh those wacky Dems...they love the Next Big Thing even if the Thing has absolutely nothing of substance in terms of ideas.

A dumb war. We haven't thought it through

Osama, you are a dumb candidate. It turns out you can't think a war through. You can plan, but plans can't cover everything. $h1t happens in war.
