Did I Say ‘No Timetables’? Never Mind…

There might be just a tiny bit of difference in announcing time tables when multible bombings are occuring daily as to announcing them now when the situation is somewhat safe.
I am glad the current press corps were not around for WW2 or they would have been pressing FDR on troop timetables a few days after Pearl Harbor.

Anne,
Get over it already! How many times are you golks going to re-visit this birth certificate issue? He is the President! He is the President! He is the President! The birth certificate says he was born in Hawaii. Crawl back under your rock.

Anne
What? It’s time to give this nonsense up.

If the ABC reporter had bothered to check the facts regarding the situation in Iraq she might understand why discussion of a timed withdrawal is now acceptable.
Oh wait, I forgot, ABC never checks the facts in their attempts to discredit the Bush Administration.
I wonder if they’ll bother to report with the Obama Regime begins to suspend the Bill of Rights.

Anne,
1) The Obama birth certificate myth is too easily to busted with a quick Internet search. You can find an image of the certificate in about a minute if you try.
2) Doesn’t matter, his mother was from Kansas, that makes him a “natural born citizen” regardless of where he was born
3) You lost, the only way for democracy to work is for people to accept when they lose.

The timetable I care most about is the one where Bush withdraws on on January 20.

Clearly President Bush hates America, hates and is trying to discourage the U.S. troops, and wants the terrorists to win. Either that or everything this administration has been telling us the last 8 years has been a load of crapola.

This Bush Adminstration is the most hypocritical we have had and willl go down as the worst Administration in modern US history.
Even Hoover did better. At leaset we named somethinh after him.
George W. Bush will not deserve anything named after him. Or may be “The George W. Bush Iraq War Memorial” with the names of all US service men and women who died needlessly in this war etched on its walls.

Anne-South_Texan & Lee: Your hero, George Snidley Whiplash is about to leave the White House after 8 miserable years of dumbness. The next president IS a citizen and if you want to play pretend, head for the playground and play to your hearts’ delight. Your guy lost, we finally have a leader who has America’s interests at heart, not his own.

This love fest will likely change our world… More government in healthcare, banking and “private” business. “Real Change We Can Live With” is… the “change” left over after your dollars have been redistributed by the chums on the hill that now have no restraint by the executive branch. Folks… hang on to your wallets…

Let me explain this to all of you libs and ABC. We won the war. You do not set time tables half way through the war to withdraw, you do it when it is over. Any questions?

Billy Bob, Exactly what did we win?

Ahhh, still yammering that birth certificate crap. I guess that when shrubbo is basically punting his entire legacy to the curb that’s all your RW losers have left.
President Barack Hussein Obama… President Barack Hussein Obama…
Get used to it, the man was born in Hawaii and is the first man to reside in the White House since 2000.

I hate to be the one to tell you that what you are viewing is NOT the Birth Certificate of OBAMA but a Certification of Birth! Anyone could get them in Hawaii and not be born there that is their rules. We know this is the case definitely for Obama’s sister even though she has a Certification of Birth she was born in Indonesia. WHY NOT CHECK? Why does Mr. Obama hire attorneys….just simply show the “original birth certificate” to the public and it says where he was born with a doctor’s signature. He can’t…he broke the law and he knows it. So trash the Constitution and believe what you are being told and DO NOT investigate it….you get what you deserve…you LOSE AMERICA.

Right. Because in WWII we invaded Europe preemptively and with out provocation, WMD, or preexisting NAZI ties, and promised French oil revenue would pay for it all.
Right. These 2 wars are exactly the same thing, and the press corp are treasoners for daring to ask questions. Because if the US stands for anything, it’s being threatened into keeping your mouth shut?

Anne, Do you have your original birth certificate? If you do then you are a rarity, because only 2% of people over 40 have their original!!

So you’re saying we didn’t win anything, right?

listen hear..bush messed up and he messed up big time..i was born in iraq and im catholic and i left when i was only a year old..and what bush did was just stupid now hes trying to be all mr.good guy trying to take em out..he can go **** himself..sorry for my french but obama i think will make a difference and hopefully in a good way..we gave bush a shot and he messed up now its obama’s time the ball is in his court lets see what he does with it

Steve in NJ
Yes the have the “original birth certificate” but NO ONE KNOWS if it says he is born in Hawaii the USA…..Hawaii law allows for babies to be born in other countries and then apply for a Certification of Birth in Hawaii. Release the original birth certificate and STOP the rumors that persist…but Mr. Obama will not do so…hired attorneys instead because the birth certificate states that he was not born in Hawaii—-his mother applied for the Certification of Birth which is legal and issued in Hawaii so the Health Department speaks the truth. NO TRANSPARENCY……VERY EASY TO DO…….JUST SHOW the “original record” on file in Hawaii……….why not?

Middle east is more stable??? LOL No one knows what Saddam would be doing, he’s dead isn’t he? Yeah, we really wiped out Al-Qaida. LOL.

We don’t belong in Iraq in the first place. They did nothing to deserve this and they are not ever going to change their culture for us. Nor will they forget the destruction we brought. Fortunately the warmongers in the White House will be leaving mighty soon and as sure as the hell in Guantanamo Bay will end, Obama will see to it we’re not even in Iraq well before 2011.

“Let me explain this to all of you libs and ABC. We won the war. ”
Umm… BillyBob, when, exactly, did we “win the war?” At what point did this war end? Are you including when Bush said “Mission Accomplished” as the end date? Or when IEDs stopped killing Americans? Or when?
Oh, and FYI, al-Qaeda in Iraq didn’t exist until we showed up, blew the **** out of the infrastructure, and made a gawdawful lot of enemies by killing people who’d done nothing against us. That’s why al-Qaeda, in Iraq and elsewhere, has been thrilled by our presence there: talk about a fertile recruiting ground!
Oh, and Anne? Apologies for the name typo above.

Billy Bob said “What do you think saddam would be doing right now with Iran trying to develope nuclear weapons.”
Well Billy… Saddam wouldn’t be doing much at all with Iran. That’s the fact. They had opposing political and religious views and didn’t get along well at all. That’s why Saddam was our ‘friend’ in the 1980′s… he was the perfect counter-balance to Iran – and that’s what you get when you prop up the ‘enemy of my enemy’. To often it results in disaster.

anne
where was McCain born?

What??? Republicans still ‘spinning the yarn of misguided sheep’…I guess the ‘ol’Bushwacker’s’ Drugstore Cowboy hypnotism really works. ON THE BRAIN-DAMAGED!!! I guess he (Bushwacker)and ‘Dead-Eye Cheney’ will have to be content, but a little ‘P.O.’d they have to settle for driving their pick-ups and slurping plenty of BEER with the ‘kick-backs’ from the ‘Iraqi Fiasco’. They will probably end up forgetting how many houses they will own too. Heck…that Obama spoiled all their fun.

Rob, alqaeda has hated you long before Iraq. Now there are a lot less of them to hate you and everything you stand for.

I totally agree with David, Americans
elected an Afraican to the Presidency
not an American….
If he is born in Hawaii what happened
to his Hawaiian middle name, which is
given to all babies born in Hawaii
?????
Sorry, us American will continue to
question this….gee I wonder who
is concerned about America….

The profiteering is over, that’s why. One day people will realize exactly what the Bush regime was up to from day one. Look at the shape of the country under these guys. Iraq never had a thing to do with terrorism, wmd’s or anything but simply to occupy. Let’s hope the Obama team will dwell deep into an investigation of Bush/Cheney and the rest of the minions.

Great comeback bob.

So you want to doubt Obama’s qualification for President? Bush was born in the U.S. and obviously wasn’t qualified. He proved that along with the other “mavericks” in his posse.

(PARDON THE ALL-CAPS. I DIDN’T HAVE ANOTHER METHOD OF DISTINGUISHING MY ANSWERS FROM THE QUESTIONS.)
But, Mr. President, what about the enemy? THE ENEMY HAS BEEN BEATEN DOWN, DISCOURAGED AND LARGELY KILLED.
Doesn’t that signal to the enemy that there is a firm pullout date? IRAQ NOW HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT FORCE WITH WHICH TO HANDLE IT ON THEIR OWN – HELLO? AND AGAIN, THE ENEMY IS BEATEN DOWN. HOW CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT?
Won’t they be lying in wait, as you had suggested? SAME QUESTION AGAIN – SAME ANSWER.
And what if “conditions” change? THIS ISN’T ROCKET SCIENCE. JUST AS CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND CHANGED THAT ALLOWED THIS TO BE POSSIBLE (NO THANKS TO YOU), THE SAME CAN HAPPEN IN THE REVERSE – THEY CAN ALTER THIS PLAN AT ANY TIME BASED ON CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND. CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND, CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND, CONDITIONS ON THE GROUND. GET IT?
The bottom line: Isn’t this going back on everything the White House said it believed? OBVIOUSLY NOT. YOU ARE CONFUSING THE POSITION OF NEVER-LEAVING-AT-ALL WITH THE POSITION WITH THE POSITION OF WITHDRAWL-WHEN-APPROPRIATE.
Gordon Johndroe, the National Security spokesman was succinct in his response to that question today, saying, “Security conditions are so improved, you can set a date.” NO KIDDING. HE IS CORRECT.
Of course, when that date rolls around, George W. Bush will be long gone. AS IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING. CLINTON BUILT THE .COM BUBBLE AND DIDN’T STICK AROUND FOR THAT ENDING – HE GAVE IT TO BUSH. DID YOU WANT BUSH FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS SO HE CAN BE AROUND TO TAKE CREDIT FOR GIVING THOSE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO VOTE A BETTER LIFE INTO THEIR FUTURE? IF NOT, THEN I WOULD BE QUIET.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF WOMEN OUTSIDE OF IRAQ ARE GOING TO SEE THE WOMEN OF IRAQ VOTING FOR AND GRADUALLY RECEIVING RIGHTS AND POWER OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DECADES IN THAT COUNTRY. HOW LONG WILL THESE WOMEN OUTSIDE OF IRAQ PUT UP WITH THEIR CURRENT LIVES AND STATUS WHEN THEY CAN SEE IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY?
THEY WILL START STANDING UP FOR THEMSELVES AND WORKING TOWARD THE SAME WHICH WILL BE QUITE AN UPGRADE FROM WORRYING ABOUT KEEPING THEIR HEADS ATTACHED TO THEIR BODIES IF THEY DON’T WEAR A FULL BODY COVERING.
EVEN THOUGH IT IS EASY AND POPULAR TO JUMP ON THE ANTI-WAR, ANTI-BUSH, ANTI-ADMINISTRATION BANDWAGON, DO NOT THINK THAT WE CAN JUST SPEW OUT ANY OLD AMATEUR POSITION LIKE THE ONE POSTED HERE

Anne wrote: ” This is why all the suits across the country as “Elect Obama” has continually refused to show his “original birth certificate” only the same Certification of birth… He has hired attorneys to fight this in the court system. The Health Department in Hawaii says that he has a birth certificate but will NOT STATE any information on the certificate.
Anne:
Didn’t it occur to you that if there was any question of where Obama was born the GOP would have been all over it? Since NO top Republican said a word, did you think they were part of an Obama conspiracy?
Look here for a photocopy of the Health Deparment in Hawaii’s birth certificate which states ALL the normal information: time of birth, Hawaiian Island of birth,
Obama does NOT have lawyers working on this since there’s nothing to work on. Please get your info straight before spreading false rumors. And may I recommend checking out snopes.com before believing any strange rumors.

US constitution set up a system of courts to resolve even fuzzy disputes, the “dispute” over the birth certificate, which there really is none, was already brought before the courts (several times), and resolved. Obama is a natural born citizen. That’s the court’s ruling ergo the US constitution’s ruling. So your argument is a fiction and always has been. Really, honestly, why don’t you just admit you’re trying to find an mythical excuse to hate Obama—for you it’s got nothing to do with where he was born when he was 0 years old, but simply a convenient reason to hate.

Sam:
Thank you for your service and your honesty.

Sam,
I don’t believe you.
I hope you can be tracked and brought to testify before Congress.
If any of what you say is true, you and your Commanding Officers will be charged with war crimes and prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law.
I also have a cousin who had three tours of duty in Iraq. He has recounted some horrible stories but none of this bashing of our brave men and women in uniform that you are mouthing here.
You should be tracked and brought before Congress.

Yes, the great decider need to fade into Crawford, TX sunset before he screws something else up.

If we can stop the shia and sunni from fighting then i’m sure we can settle the isreli/palistinian conflict.

Sorry Lee the Constitution says nothing of the kind. What it does say is “Congress shal have the Power to extablish an uniform Rule of Naturalization…” Your quote does not exist in the US Constitution.

Nevertheless, is anyone interested in why Bush changed his tune? Or does it really matter? My biggest concern is that our troops come home to their families and that no more lives are lost and families left grieving their loved ones. However, I would love to know what prompted this sudden 360 degree change in strategy.

Bush didn’t flip. For those of you who didn’t bother reading this story, it is the IRAQI GOVERNMENT setting the timetable, not the Bush administration. There is a big difference between saying, “Yup we’re leaving by 2012 no matter ground conditions or the condition of the Iraqi forces,” and the Iraqi goverment saying, “Yup by 2012 we’ll be ready to handle everything the Americans are currently handling so they can go home.” Everyone should be applauding that.

Bush wants to set timetables now so he can get the credit. We should have never been there is the first place, 4,000 soldiers dead and for what? My son is over there and he is just finishing his first tour, and hopefully his last. He wants us to win in Iraq, but there will never be victory over there, it will quiet down for a while then it will start over again. It’s a no win situation, but try telling that to the pineads in washington.

Teresa, I hope your son will be ok. I am a Canadian and I know that many Americans are probably wishing that I should mind my own business but one life lost in a war that was uncalled for is one too many.

aubry–being an outsider –what do you think the iraq people would think of your uncalled for remark–do you think that their freedom and their new democracy is also uncalled for—some american volunteered to serve to remove a dictator and liberate the iraqi people –they gave their lives for their belief–your statement flies against their heroism

Bob: I agree pretty much with everything you said. We are on the same page. We can regulate or legislate just about everything except for what people think. When we leave, the people will decide their own fate. Our troops have done their job. Now it is time to get them out of their.

stan: Inane yes. Timetable or not, bring our troops home. They did the job they were sent there to do. It is up to the Iraqis to decide what they want to do.

I have an idea! Let’s end Iraq the same way we ended Vietnam- surrender and leave millions exposed to the potentional dictatorship of another brutal mass murderer!
The liberal, hippie, long-haired, bill ayers idiots of the Vietnam era love to brag about how they, along with jane fonda’s courageos efforts, ended the war. But somehow I never hear any of these people mention the killing fields where millions of South Vietnamese were murdered by the North after the US gave into the anti-war nutjobs and left prematurely.
Should the US have invaded Iraq? I don’t know.
Was the war mismangaged? yes
Was the US media and much of America’s enemies around the world hoping it would fail miserably to make Bush look stupid? yes
Should our progress there be reported on CNN, ABC, MSNBC as much as the ridiculous Abu Graib scandal? yes
Should America stay and continue the process of rebuilding Iraq for both America’s and the Iraq people’s safety?
YES!!

Hey folks…BUSH will get credit for the victory….it will be his legacy…WE WON,,get use to it you left wing hate nuts

Abraham Lincoln. Correct, we should not have removed Saddam or invaded Iraq. The whole country is in a complete mess being war torn and it will take billions to rebuild it. There goes our tax money.

Um, folks. The election is over. I voted for McCain, but the birth certificate, biased media, etc. is not relevant anymore. Obama is going to be the next president. There is too much tough work ahead for the country to keep bickering. Obama’s leagacy in now in his hands. If he screws up, I’ll be all over him. But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt right now. Even McCain is willing to.
