Obama regrets saying soldiers' lives 'wasted' (BARACK HUSSEIN JUST "REGRETS" GETTING CAUGHT)

Obama has said he will seek forgiveness with allah. He has said he will be on his prayer rug (which is kept in the closet of his office) most of the day today.

''Their sacrifices are never wasted. . . . What I meant to say was those sacrifices have not been honored by the same attention to strategy, diplomacy and honesty on the part of civilian leadership that would give them a clear mission."

[MeekOneGOP]

Every time I see "Obama" I ALWAYS think/wanna say "Osama" !! :^O

Osama/Obama, whatever .....

[rbg81]

It will be a waste--if we follow his plan, withdraw from Iraq, and leave it to Al Queda and Iran.

[ReleaseTheHounds]

IMHO, he more likely feels their lives are wasted serving and protecting our freedoms. The man has no understanding of the world that we live in or the threats our Country faces.

The whole "using" of the Abraham Lincoln analogy was completely opposite of what Obama stands for. Lincoln said "a House divided against itself cannot stand" and he led the Union in a battle with the South to preserve the Union and then to free the slaves (in a war in which 650,000 American lives were lost for these noble causes). Obama takes that metaphor and says: forget making any sacrifice for liberty or freedom, especially in the Middle East -- let's just hunker down here in America and wait for the terrorists to come over here. Oh, and let's tamp down the divisive rhetoric (you Right-Wing Bast*rds!). Some Lincoln!

[Chi-townChief]

If he wants to sneak in under the radar, he's a muzzie who needs a muzzle.

This guy is a bastard. What a useless piece of dog crap.

You stupid SOB! The troops have a clear mission but the Democrat leadership refuses to back it.

Just think: Our own US Dimocrat party curses out our troops more than any other terror group, terror enabling country, or tyrant combined. When is the last time you heard Al-Qaeda, Iran, or even Saddam call our troops "stupid" or "wasted"? Not even Baghdad Bob did that.

[Thermalseeker]

Like Biden, out of the gate and stumbling before the first turn...........

Yep. It appears that the Prophet Obama isn't anywhere near ready for prime time. He's already stuck his foot in his mouth so many times he has athletes tongue.....and then, there's those rabid Lefties that keep showing up to heckle him. He-He.....I love it when they eat their own.

Obama: have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted

3,000 Americans died in the first 5 weeks of the Korean conflict.
I wonder if "I-have-no-military-background" Obama thinks their lives were wasted?

I'd be the first to admit that things were different back then..

• We had a Democratic President
• Within 6 months of Truman's sending troops to Korea to fight "bandits" in a "police action," full wartime censorship was placed on news from Korea
• within 6 months over 11,000 Americans were dead.

[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

Yep. It appears that the Prophet Obama isn't anywhere near ready for prime time

And where is his "gravitas" which we heard a million times that President Bush didn't have?

[syriacus]

he assailed the "trivialization of politics" where "it is all about who makes a gaffe."

Gaffes are sometimes Freudian slips. Gaffes are often the only window through which voters can take a good look at the mind of a dissembling politician.

[cake_crumb]

"...ending at a University of New Hampshire rally where he assailed the "trivialization of politics" where "it is all about who makes a gaffe."

Politician speak for "I'll screw up frequently but they'll only be MISTAKES! Can't we all stop being so mean-spirited and just GET ALONG?"

[b4its2late]

Clean......

[goldstategop]

Yep. A gaffe is the projection of a speaker's real but unconscious thought. Despite people's best efforts, they can't always hide what they really think from the world. Just look at John Kerry's botched joke as an example.

I hope this rat wins the nomination.
He'll be the easiest of the bunch to defeat.

[syriacus]

I had just turned on CSPAN and I heard him say this: "...savaged by white folks..."

It's apparent that Obama approves of some savaging.

He's willing to overlook savaging by Saddam, Uday and Qusay, who tortured, dismembered, and killed innocent Iraqis (especially Shi'ites)?

He's willing to endorse savaging by abortionists who torture, dismember and kill innocent unborn Americans

[syriacus]

he sounds just like Cindy Sheehan

Yes.

[X-Ecutioner]

He won't get hurt. He is too strong politically.
