“I am going to do a thorough assessment when I’m there,” he told reporters on the airport tarmac here. “I’m sure I’ll have more information and continue to refine my policy.”

…

“I’m going to continue to gather information to see whether those conditions still hold,” he said. “My goal is to end this conflict as soon as possible.”

…

“My 16-month timeline, if you examine everything that I’ve said, was always premised on making sure that our troops were safe…I said that based on the information that we had received from our commanders that one to two brigades a month could be pulled out safely, from a logistical perspective. My guiding approach continues to be that we’ve got to make sure that our troops are safe and that Iraq is stable.”.

From NewsBusters.org:
BARACK OBAMA CLIP #1, DATED MAY 18: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us.

OBAMA CLIP #2, DATED MAY 18: Iran, they spend 1/100th of what we spend on the military. I mean, if Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance.

OBAMA CLIP #3, DATED MAY 20: Iran is a grave threat. It has an illicit nuclear program. It supports terrorism across the regions and militias in Iraq. It threatens Israel's existence. It denies the Holocaust.

John 'Flip Flop' Kerry on "cutting and running" in Iraq

From a December 2003 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR):

"I have said before -- and I repeat today -- that the Bush administration should swallow its pride and reverse course. But the evidence is obviously strong that it lacks the wisdom or will to do so.

In fact, I fear that in the run-up to the 2004 election, the administration is considering what is tantamount to a cut-and-run strategy. Their sudden embrace of accelerated Iraqification and American troop withdrawal dates, without adequate stability, is an invitation to failure. The hard work of rebuilding Iraq must not be dictated by the schedule of the next American election.

I have called for the administration to transfer sovereignty, and they must transfer it to the Iraqi people as quickly as circumstances permit. But it would be a disaster and a disgraceful betrayal of principle to speed up the process simply to lay the groundwork for a politically expedient withdrawal of American troops. That could risk the hijacking of Iraq by terrorist groups and former Ba'athists. Security and political stability cannot be divorced. Security must come first, and that is why it is so imperative to succeed in building a genuine coalition on the ground in Iraq."

Obama still thinks he is in Rev Wright’s church, doing community organizing, where jive talking was the way to get your street cred and show you be down for the struggle.

Not going to work very well in the real world. People are going to get real tired of a liar real quick.

I still think ‘Jive Talking’ by the BeeGees would be the perfect campaign song for Obama.

If the safety of our troops remains his priority why is he not still for total immediate withdrawal? This guy is intellectually bankrupt. Another case for you parents of college applicants to stay far away from the Ivy League.

“I am going to do a thorough assessment when I’m there,”

Just what the heck will be his reference point? Reid, Pelosi, Murtha? Gee, thanks for your assessment Senator Hussein.

Just saw an ad for bHussein Obama (May peace be upon him)

He claims to have moved people off welfare, and cut taxes for working people.

The Marxist is trying to sound like Reagan.

John Kerry's "priority", like back in Vietnam, is for us to LOSE the war. He's been with the commie left for decades.

June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."

The Democrats are going to abandon their opposition to the War the closer we get to November. They're happy to hand Bush a defeat but they're not going to do that a fellow Democrat. And they have all sorts of reason to want to help make his presidency a success. Never mind the barking moonbats. If the American people wanted the country out, it would already have happened.
