Well obviously Obama is better trained and equipped to make military judgements since he said he once contemplated joing the Army or Marine Corps.

Wait a minute though, military judgements are secondary to political considerations. See GITMO.

Bama would then reactivate Wesley Clark who will do his bidding. Pullout, declare obama victory and blame the eventual fall of Iraq to the iranians on Bush.

Does that guy have glasses? I need to put on my glasses to see if he has glasses...

LOL - that's the Mook. That location looks like somewhere off of Saddoun Street where I lived in '06. It was a very Shia and Mookie-friendly area. The guards at checkpoints in that part of town even had Mookie posters up in their checkpoint booths.

The Iraqi government finally put a stop to that last year.

Yep...the election is in less than a week and election posters adorn walls all over town.

I wonder if we're going to be locked down at all like we were in '05? Not hearing a thing about that so far...

"Every time the Iraqis are going through a sensitive period in their history, the US comes up with such claims. The claims are like a broken record," Kazemi Qomi said.

Bite it off, Qomi. We know where the EFPs, and the 120 and 240mm rockets that rained on our bases last spring (and previous times) came from. We know there's a lot of Farsi-speaking going on at those Mookie rallies here in the middle of town on Fridays and that most of the organizers are not Iraqi.

Well, I never figured Barry for a "stay in for the long haul" kind of guy.

I knew this guy would suck, but I am stunned by the brashness of his agenda.

I thought he would play the first 4 years close to the vest and middle of the road in an effort to appear balanced.

I expected him to go whole hog if he was to win a 2nd term.
Seems Barry knows he is going to be a one hit wonder and is going to go full throttle for the next 2 years.

We need to slap this guy silly fast

“Most inexperienced President in over 100 years ignores advice of senior military advisors.”

There. Fixed that headline for you.
