Will Obama Have to Adjust His Timetable on Iraq? (Americans who voted Obama, YOU GOT PUNKED!)

Senior U.S. military officials will likely advise Barack Obama to adjust his campaign pledge to withdraw all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by mid-2010. While promising a 16-month timetable for getting all U.S. fighting forces out, Obama repeatedly insisted on what he calls a "responsible" withdrawal. Pulling nearly all U.S. troops and equipment out of Iraq in 16 months is "physically impossible," says a top officer involved in briefing the President-elect on U.S. operations in Iraq. That schedule would create a bottleneck of equipment and troops in the south of Iraq and Kuwait where brigades repair, clean and load vehicles and weapons for the trip home, said the official. Others say U.S. could conceivably pull out on that time scale, although that would require leaving more equipment behind. A more important concern that, officers believe the security gains in Iraq would be put at risk if troops were withdrawn before the Iraqi security forces are in a position to protect their own communities and borders.

When speaking with liberals, I am going to use the word 'failure' in every sentence that has the name Obama in it. "Obama's a failure," "Failed Obama policies," etc... And even throw in the word 'fraud' from time to time.

I dont know if that will work, we did the same thing to clinton he is damn near a saint to them

Those aren't simplistic responses, they are the weapons of choice that the liberals used on us for 8 years and the ones they understand. When speaking with liberals, I am going to use the word ‘failure’ in every sentence that has the name Obama in it. “Obama’s a failure,” “Failed Obama policies,” etc... And even throw in the word ‘fraud’ from time to time.

That's right. We'll throw it right in their faces and give them no excuses. I'm going to get the Thesaurus out and study up on the negative, descriptive words I'll be using.I'm going to lay every "guilt trip" on them that I can. And, we can't let them turn it around. He is their Messiah and Messiah's are perfect.

I only suggest doing it for the near instant gratification of irritating a liberal on the spot.

Yep, the Thesaurus will be our friend! At work we have some Obots and I said in front of them to one of my Conservative co-workers: "What kind of messed up logic does it take to vote for a guy who promises to reduce your take home pay?" The Obots looked dazed as their ears began to turn red.

Good. Little digs that cut to the bone.
No mercy for the bastards.
They have put us in jeopardy and we can’t let them forget that.

More and more idiots are going to deny they voted for B O. They will realize they made a bad mistake but won’t acknowledge it.

How true, but you'll be able to tell who most of them are just by the massive voters' remorse tsunami of angry whiners. They'll somehow expose themselves. Some may commit 'the most sincerest form of self-criticism' - suicide.

SOT :>)
