Obama Has Been Highly Critical Of The U.S. Operation In Afghanistan; Said "We Have Taken Our Eye Off The Ball":

Obama Said The U.S. Took Its "Eye Off The Ball" In Afghanistan. Obama: "We went into Iraq, a war that we should have never authorized and should not have been waged. ... It has ... allowed us to neglect the situation in Afghanistan. We know right now ... that al Qaeda is hiding in the hills between Afghanistan and Pakistan. And because we have taken our eye off the ball, they are stronger now than any time since 2001." (Sen. Barack Obama, AFL-CIO Democrat Presiden tial Candidate Forum, Chicago, IL, 8/7/07)

Obama: "Instead of consolidating the gains made by the Karzai government, we are backsliding towards chaos." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks To The Chicago Council On Global Affairs, Chicago, IL, 11/20/06)

Obama Said American Troops Were "Just Air-Raiding Villages And Killing Civilians." Obama: "We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there." (Philip Elliott, "Obama Gets Warning From Friendly Voter," The Associated Press, 8/14/07)

But As Chairman Of The Subcommittee On European Affairs, Obama Has Failed To Hold Any Hearings On Afghanistan:

Obama Has Served As Chairman Of The Subcommittee On European Affairs From 2007 - 2008. (U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Website, www.senate.gov, Accessed 2/15/08)

Barrac Hussein Obama has some 'splaning to do.........

[Parmenio]

I’m starting to develop a real hatred for this guy. Worse than anything I ever felt about Bill Clinton.

[Democrap]

نحن الديمقراطيون اسأل أنت المشقّة، الجهاد إلى الدعم نحن في نا المعركة ضدّ الـ الجمهوري الكلاب

[BGHater]

Dont worry BO, Harry is taking care of Afghanistan.

[NoobRep]

Hussein is a complete liberal jackass. Someone should ask him if he plans to lobby Bin Laden to move the battleground back over to Afghanistan and out of Iraq.

[Argus]

Hey Obama, look at a map once in awhile. Iraq is about a hundred times more strategically vital than Afghanistan.

[Republic of Texas]

Thanks Hussain, we’ll take it from here chief. Run along and play with your slumlord friends now, the adults are talking.

[Abathar]

Even the DUmmies are kind of wondering why as chair of the Afghanistan oversight committee he hasn't held a single meeting yet.

Kind of fun to picture them with that stupid look on their faces when they try to make sense of it....

[Republic of Texas]

Oh, sorry, I misspelled Hussain, it’s actually Hussein. Barak Hussein Obama. Got it now.

[kellynla]

Hussein’s been in the U.S. Senate what? three years...and all of a sudden he’s an “expert?”
give me a friggin’ break!
this clown was still in law school when we went to Iraq the first time so I seriously doubt he has a clue on how to win the WOT!!!

How he’s gotten this far in politics is joke and certainly a testament to the deficiency of the ‘Rat party!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

you are not the only one

we know what we could get with clinton but this obama is mroe scary to me than what clinton is

We have nlo idea what his real views are and instead of asking him what underwear he wears they should be asking him about his racism and his racist associates including his wife

the media should hang their heads in shame and so should obama voters
I really do fear what this country could be heading under his leadership

for once I agree with clinton the media have been very bias for him

[Republic of Texas]

Actually, wrong again. It’s Barak Hussein Obama Jr. I am soo sorry. Got it now. Thanks.

[Former Dodger]

I believe his explanation yesterday was that he became the Chair in 2007 just as his presidential campaign was beginning.

So, is he still drawing a salary as a senator? If so, he is stealing the government’s money, as are other candidates.

The sad part is that the media is so “Obama-fied” that they just nod their heads and go “Of Course...that’s a good reason...how could we EVER doubt you?”

This country gets scarier by the day.

[petercooper]

Mr. B. Hussein Obama, al Qaeda has been flocking in droves to Iraq to fight the U.S. Military. Is that a bad thing?

take your time..

[Into the Vortex]

Roger that. The idiot can’t simply be on the wrong side of every issue-he has to scratch the wound open and rub salt into it. And it gets worse by the day.

[McGruff]

RACISM!

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

He is dusting off the John Kerry “eye off the ball” line from the 04 debate.

[jackv]

Ok, pretty boy. Now that the easy fight against some loser so unattractive she never stood a chance is nearly over, get ready to fight against the truth.
Not going to be nearly so easy.
Get ready.
