McCain Touts Surge Success Before Obama’s Overseas Trip

“I’m happy to tell you we’ve succeeded in Iraq and we—unless we reverse the strategy that’s succeeding we will win this war”
Double-Talk Express Way…
If we’ve succeeded and the Iraqis want us out then we should just LEAVE. Adopt Obama’s plan and gradually withdraw.

It’s sad that these Obama bloggers apparently believe the the Surge has not worked. Even Obama KNOWS that the Surge is a HUGE SUCCESS. Probably reason why Obama has not wanted to visit Iraq – He would have to admit the obvious. Violence is way down, people are returning to homes and businesses. Airline starting back up. Iraqi Defense is taking over more and more responsibility. OBAMA PREDICTED THAT THE SURGE WOULD FAIL AND THAT MORE TERRORISTS WOULD SPRING UP AND CREATE MORE CHAOS. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED – JUST THE OPPOSITE. JUST SHOWS OBAMA’S TOTAL INEXPERIENCE IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND NATIONAL DEFENSE.

It is interesting that my posts are respectful with no use of bad words – but my posts get deleated because they show Obama for what he is. Makes sense now with three network anchors on the Obama’s campaign plane to the middle -east NO DOUBT ABOUT MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS IN THE TANK FOR OBAMA NOW!! WAS FOX INVITED – DUH!!

What was that about network news anchors on Obama’s team to middle-east? I saw your post – but then disappeared.

mccain cannot remember what country he is talking about—-john SUDAN SUDAN–YOU HAVE THE WRONG COUNTRY it is that simple.mccain is the guy you went to school with –that needed to go to summer school——-N-T-S

Obama is supposed to be going to Europe and the Middle East as a fact finding mission, to save the lives of American soldiers and to insure the security of Americans … but, as usual, Obama is turning his responsibilities into a promotional photo op. Our country’s problems are serious, and it’s getting rather disgusting watching Obama the Opportunist, use America to further his personal ambition and aggrandizement. Also, the three network anchors, and the rest of the media, who are tripping over each other to accompany Obama overseas should be ashamed of themselves.

I will vote for McCain even if he has to be carried into the oval office with an O2 cart and with paramedics and alzheimers specialists in tow. The alternative, Obama, is unthinkable. Unfortunately, as bad as some say the USA has it (which I really don’t buy – consider the Amish) the world situation, particularly the middle-east has to take top priority. OTHER issues are important, but don’t mean a damn thing if we cannot, nor will not protect ourselves. Obama just does not have the ability, nor experience to perform those functions. Obama’s early prediction of the Surge failing and ensuing chaos in Iraq (just the opposite has occurred) clearly shows his complete lack of knowledge of foreign affairs and national defense.

Wow, I just read the headlines, McCain has won another war? When will the troops get to come home?

In this Era, as can be said of the past, Isn’t it so true that mankind’s one solution in an effort to resolve problems with his fellow brother, has continued to be War. “When will we understand that War is not the answer?” I am definitely not a softy, realizing that in some cases, we have to defend ourselves, but this is a situation we have brought on ourselves, by failing over and over to live in harmony with the Law of cause and effect, which is a natural Law of the Universe and our Being, believe it or not. We should also return to living in harmony with the Law which states, Thou Shalt not Kill. One of the ways to prevent War is non-stop negotiations.

The surge worked because Al-Sadir let it. For a time, he didn’t and the surge did suffer set backs.
So now all the Iraqi factions have played kiss and make up, and we’re patting ourselves on the back for it.
McCain is even touting, “we” as in we won. Like he held a rifle and got blood on his boots. How moronic!

If the surged worked than why doesnt Bush or mccain want to get out i mean not totally out but start pulling some troops???????? sorry but i think obamas right and the iraq leader wants a time table withdraw and mccain and bush say no way and what is it we have won in iraq anyway?????

Senator Obama’s back yard in Chicago is a war zone of crime and what has he done to stop it? Absolutely nothing. Yet, he thinks he knows how to stop the fighting in countries thousands of miles away. The people of Iraq have been fighting for the last 100 years and this will probably go on regardless of what the USA does. It is true, we should not have invaded and we need to get out ASAP. Senator McCain has the best foreign relations plan.

Who cares who the Europeans prefer … if it was up to France, our next President would be Jerry Lewis. How about focusing on who has the experience, judgement and character to protect us and bring prosperity to Americans … not someone who in the eleventh hour, finally tries to establish foreign policy credentials, in a one week visit, as a transparent political ploy to get himself elected. Where was Obama, when he was supposed to chair the congressional committee on Afghanistan, and never had a single meeting. Why did Obama vote ‘present’ over 100 times in the senate? Even if he manages a political rally in the Roman Coliseum, he’s still just an inexperienced politician, who is not qualified to be President of the United States of America !!!

McCain isn’t even fit to lead this nation one way or the other. Meaning, he’s too old. He can’t handle the job of being president. He can’t handle the travel, the daily grind, the headaches, economics, etc. He’s been wrong on many things and it sounds like he’s the one who has been drinking lots of kool-aid, whining day in and day out about media coverage and throwing tantrums like a 2 year old, “I’m right! I’m right!! I’m right!!!” Give me a break! No one wants to deal with you. Get over it. I’m tired of hearing about the surge. This is how Iraq works…they’ve been at war since the 1980s. Sometimes they fight, sometimes they don’t. We can’t do anything about it, unless we intend to live there. Period. We are Americans and don’t need to stay there indefinetly. We (our troops) are not Iraqis. It seems like McCain has a listening problem. How many times do you have to be asked to leave? In a place like Iraq, there’s no such thing as “winning” a war. It’s not like WWII. He doesn’t understand that. Obama needs to be on the world stage with people his own age that actually are willing to work with him. Medvedev or Russia is 42, Sarkozy of France 52, King Abdullah of Jordan 46…Pass the dam* torch already!!!!! We’ve already had George Bush, we don’t need McSame. He’s just standing on stage and in his town hall meetings shouting about how he can win wars…what else can he do? The economy’s in the tank. He’s only for rich people. He doesn’t have a healthcare plan, it will be what it is now under Bush. He wants to tamper and mess up social security. He’s not going to help the poor and middle class (also known as the soon to be poor class if McCain gets elected), and he’d like to keep all that money we could use at home and possibly Afghanistan just going in one direction. He’s full of crap. And he does care about being elected as president, or he wouldn’t be standing out there on those stages trying to get support. He wouldn’t be riding around on a bus from state to state, etc. Don’t lie to me McCain, but too late, you already did! If he was so great, he’s been around 30 darn years, why hasn’t he done anything he claims he can do now? Because this is an election year, that’s why. I do not support McSame/McCan’t/McBush/Bush III/Bush Lite/McFossil and his willingness to keep things the way they are now. NO NO NO!!!!!!!!! And this surge business…they’re all walking around surrounded by military people. If the cameras weren’t there, the guards, the guns, the helicopters, the secret service, then I’d say we have something, but no dice! I’m not all about Iraq, but I am all about America. I want to use some of that 10 billion dollars per month over here. We went into Iraq for oil…remember all those protestors with their signs “No blood for oil”? Well, we didn’t even get that, but we did get higher gas prices! Thanks McSame!!!
Obama 08!!!!!!!
