Details About President Obama’s Iraq Address Next Week

“President Obama is not expected to address the fact that he opposed the surge of troops in Iraq in 2007.”
Of course not. Pretty sure you won’t be seeing “The War Is Lost” poster boy Harry Reid boasting about his part in the conclusion anytime soon either.

Spin… spin…spin… He’ll take the credit and Bush will take the blame. Nov 2012 can’t come soon enough.

DIID BUSH HAVE A DEADLINE DATE. NO !!!
SHOULD OBAMA ADDRESS THE FACT THAT BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL SINCE WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN IRAQ IN THE FIRST PLACE.
LETS TALK ABOUT THEM FACTS!

Blame Bush all you want, but it takes an act of congress to go to war, not the hand waving of the President.
I wish more Americans were educated.

We shall see Noreaster, we shall see. This speech will be interesting…sure hope his teleprompter does not fail and I wonder how many UH`s we will hear

He won’t make it till November 2012. He’ll resign or be forced out.

Wonderful. More condescending arrogance from “The One”.
Obama, Stop rabble rousing with your support of Muslim Victory Mosque at Ground Zero, stop with the vacations, stop with the lecturing, stop with the social engineering… just focus on the economy… that is your only job.

Obama opposed the surge and said we are bombing villages killing women and children, Reid said the war is lost, Durbin likened our troops to nazis and Pol Pot, Kerry said we are terrorizing(terrorists) people in the dead of night. Clinton called Gen Petraeus a liar in front of the nation. Most all Democrats in Congress voted for the Use of Force Resolution for Iraq until they thought they could exploit it for votes then they backstabbed our military. Neither Jake Tapper or any other ABC-NBC-CBS-CNN-PTV reporters will ask genuine tough questions of Barak Obama, he is still their man.

Just what we all need… another teleprompted speech from the “perfesser” in chief. Wouldn’t be so bad if this guy were competent, and perhaps the economy were on the upswing. Joke!

He’ll say, “If you had listened to me, Saddam wwould still be in power shooting at our troops maintaining the no-fly zones, he’d still be paying bonuses to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, threatening Kuwait and the Gulf, sheltering terrorists such as Zarqawi and perhaps re-starting his WMD programs. If you had listened to me, there would have been no surge, Iraq would be in the chaos of 2007 and the US would not have been successful.”

I think that most of us don’t care what Mr. Obama has to say. He has proven himself incompetent so often that when he speaks all he does is add insult to incompetence and injury

Hey folks:
BUSH = OBAMA.
They’re both compromised puppets who do what they’re told. The US Presidency is just a puppet show for morons. Enjoy the show.

History will look back at the Obama presidency as a grand failure of policies across the board: economic, foreign, militarily incompetent, corrupt, and a shining example of the need for checks and balances. The unholy trio of Obama, Pelosi and Reid were only counterbalanced by the Supreme Court. Emotion and stupidity in the 2008 election were corrected in the 2010 and 2012 elections sealing the fate of liberal policies for decades to come as a “been there, done that, no thanks” sidenote.

Iraq will be a disaster by October.

” Let me be clear. ” Here we go again… He will pat himself on the back and tell us how much he has done for us… Too bad he doesnt just go and take a swim in those fecal ridden waters off Marthas Vineyard…. they contain the manure that he is still trying to shovel to us..

Combat in Iraq is over, says Obama, then why do we have a family member in a US combat division shipping out there in September Mr Tapper, go ahead and ask your buddy Obama? Obama is playing his Saul Alinski word games, change the name of something and then say see it’s different.

Obama has no credibility on any subject and he is just trying to take credit for things he had nothing to do with for his ego and poll ratings.

Mr Obama why bother, fewer and fewer of us believe anything you say or promise. If you want to think outside the box deliver that address WITHOUT YOUR TELEPROMPTERS! That may be the most memorable event of your “Presidency” and the best way to get the attention of the few that will be watching. As for me I will be watching the Tampa Bay Rays kick some more ass.

This withdrawal of American troops from Iraq was negotiated during the Bush Administration and codified on October 16, 2008 under Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and the Iraqi Parliament.(SOFA)
Will our “take all the credit President” share the podium with George W. Bush? Will Obama move over (give “it’s all George Bush’s fault” mantra a rest for a day)and welcome remarks from the former President…George W. Bush? Who remembers President Reagan’s gracious invitation to Jimmy Carter to fly to Weisbaden, West Germany, to welcome the newly freed hostages?

“Special Forces are still active in Iraq. I suppose that their activities are so secret that the participants don’t know that they are in combat.”
We’re just playing on Xbox.

Enough of your speeches, Obama. Just go away already! TV stations should not bother to interrupt their programming for this over-bloated ego President who voted against the surge in 2007 and now wants to take credit.

My brother is a Combat Engineer and he will be staying. I guess changing the name of the operation makes it sound like there will not be any combat going on.

Golly, another speech. Seems like only yesterday he made the last one. Why doesn’t this corrupt, socialist, Hugo Chavez wanna’ be go back on vacation where he will do less harm?

I’d leave the Mission Accomplished banner home…

We need to tell ZERO to stay in Martha’s Vineyard for the next two years.
This way he can’t do any more damage and embarass this nation any further.

OH NO, not another lecture from the scolder in chief. He doesn’t listen to the people, why should we listen to him ?

In response to “Kay” (sorry tjp612).
“Fifty million free Iraqis disagree that Bush is a “war criminal”. How ’bout them facts, tjp612?”

Why bother? His speeches draw fewer and fewer viewers. The American public now see the man as a liar and self promoter. They have little to
no interest in his words. They are focused on getting his ass out of office and changing congress.

You don’t suppose he will do the honorable thing and give a Nixon,”I hereby resign from the Presidency”. Too honoable for this person.

If Obama acknowledges he was wrong about the surge, and gives Bush credit, I wonder if all the tea-baggers will acknowledge Obama’s necessary attack on corporate greed, and admit they were wrong?

This is the first step in Barry’s attempt to seize defeat from the jaws of victory. The Iraqis are very concerned about pulling out US forces at this time. I think they know better than the moron who now occupies the White House. God, what the hell were people thinking in 2008!!!!!!

Borat Obama is a complete joke, peace be upon him.

Wonderful. More condescending arrogance from “The One”.
Obama, Stop rabble rousing with your support of Muslim Victory Mosque at Ground Zero, stop with the vacations, stop with the lecturing, stop with the social engineering… just focus on the economy… that is your only job.

To OBowMao, his ONLY job is social engineering.

Oh no, Mr. Obama, that’s okay. Don’t let a little insignificant something like the United States Presidency get in the way of your vacations. I know how important that is for you.

I will put my tv on mute and put a piece of paper over his face that reads “Words just words….Lies just lies. The man lies everytime he opens his mouth. I cant wait until November.

The arrogance of Obama is absolutely breath taking. Thank God for cable TV I would not watch this clown if I were paid. My God are American’s stupid enough to buy this guys BS.

Too bad he feels yet another vacation is more important than Iraq, or for that matter the economy, jobs etc.

“Obama’s necessary attack on corporate greed, and admit they were wrong?”
He really showed Goldman Sachs!

UUUUUUUUUUh. I can hardly wait.

Obama will try to take credit for the war in Iraq. He will not give Bush any credit and will blame him for Afghanistan. This man does not have the moral courage to take responsibility for anything. I cannot believe that anyone will even want to listen to him. Will he also say that the combat divisions are going in under a different name to make him look good. I don’t think so.

“I did”…”unprecedented”…”failed Bush policies”…”Bad Republicans”! Fill in the Blanks!

I wonder if he’ll comment on the 50,000 troups still there under a different name?
Obama is a Muslim and is intent to destroy our country as we have known it.

Let me be perfectly clear, I wanted to surrender and i really do not to know what to think now that we have won???

The Teleprompter Tyrant is giving another speech? Please let me know when so I can change the channel! I don’t need to listen to the Deceiver in Chief one more minute!

I will not be watching any more Barry “speeches.” He blatantly lies every time he is in front of a microphone or on camera. Joe Wilson was absolutely correct. America can’t be rid of this Socialist (no, there is no legitimate debate on that label, “actions” vs. “words” comes to mind) stooge soon enough.

You know maybe it is Bush’s fault. Maybe if he had done better we wouldn’t have this awful obama regime.

Just think what Iraq would be like now if we had listened to Obama??? Enough said.

I have as much interest in listening to this phony aswhole as I have putting my head in a wild tigers mouth. He has no credit for the win in Iraq and he has no business being in the white house as an illegal citizen.

Where is the news? Bidon has opened his mouth today and abc is covering it up? where is the news. It is all planed here

Instead of a useless speech,when is this coward going to have a press conference to address the contradictions mentioned on this blog?Obviously the “end” of the combat mission is exaggerated and perhaps even a lie.Even our lapdog press has to have some questions about this McNamaraesque pronouncement;meanwhile Obama’s aimless Afghan policy has killed another four Americans this last weekend.

hahahaha another bs speech by the lier and cheif…lol even the most moronic among us have finally figured out who this imposter is and what he is all about..well almost all, the die hard leftist america haters are still on his side, but as they have found out, there are not as many of them as they thought there were.

Obama will claim credit for the Iraq War. Obama was against it as a U.S. Senator and he was against it was a Presidential candidate. Obama also said of the Afgan War in August 2007 – “US Planes only fly over Afganistan and drop bombs killing innocent women and children”. Obama (the closet Muslim) will never apologize to the US Armed Forces for his comments agaisnt them; which is why the US Armed Forces “detest” Obama, he has zero support. Obama is a constant liar to Non-Muslims; the American people.

“”"”"Bidon has opened his mouth today and abc is covering it up? “”"”"
Posted by: Jim Rod
Biden sounded almost drunk. He was slurring and called Iran Ilan. He also said Iraqi forces succeeded in killing 2 prominent Iraqi government figures and 30 Al Qaeda members. Well, I didn’t know Iraqi forces wanted to kill their own government reps??? Biden is terrible at speaking even with the teleprompter.

Another speech? When can we see some action and less words? When can we expect to hear the truth instead of propaganda? This president has overdrawn on his deposit of words. He has for sometime now just been uttering untruths and more lies. I am so sick and tired of this teleprompter reading exercises already. Remain on vacation why don’t you? The country is better off without you lying and prevaricating to the American people.

Use whatever words you want, we won’t
be “getting out of” Iraq anytime soon.
Think about the value of the military and commercial infrastructure we’ve put there and it’s application to long term stability locally, and in the region. If we leave altogether, the islamic factions/tribes will just be back at each others throats again.

When will ABC or the media actually cover the dominant opinions out here in the blogosphere. That’s right! They won’t. Rather they’ll continue to spew the propaganda that everyone is on board with the Obama agenda. Based on these comments, no one is.

Boohoo. More tea-bagger drivel.

What Obama WON’T say is how he followed Bush’s existing plan for Iraq to the letter and we’re keeping our fingers crossed!!

Please, do we have to be subjected to more empty rhetoric by this delusional, clueless, hubris fraud?
And please, don’t let your vacation interfere with your presidential dutites! But then again, you’ve been on an 18 month vacation. Question, when do you plan to start being Presidential and assume the duties and responsibilities of the office.
This country will not survive Obama.

Gee, I can hardly wait. Maybe the teleprompters will blow and we will hear what he actually believes as he goes live and unscripted. Now that would be worth the price of admission.

WHy bother? Obama has already weakened our standing in the world by turning on our allies and apologizing for us. He and the Dems are following failed policies and weakening the US. Now if he wanted to resign for not upholding the Constitution by not preventing illegal immigration then I might listen. Of course I’d like to see the entire lot of them resign, Biden, Pelosi and etc.

The perfect storm ——— Obama up on stage… at the podium…. giving his speech of lies to the American public……..and the telepromter breaks!!!! ——— rendered speechless!!!!

Watching from far afield, I am astonished by the lack of knowledge of the world demonstrated by most Americans. To call anything done by Obama or the Democrats communist or socialist is a joke. By the standards of virtually every other developed country in the world, the U.S. is still free enterprise dominant and their fear of their own governement borders on paranoia. I suggest you travel beyond your own borders and get a sense of what a totalitarian or communist society is like before you throw those terms around.

WOnder if he will give credit for succes in Iraq to the surge which the Dems were oppossed to? Or will he say it was his brilliant leadership of community organizing that did it. Must be him because he wouldn’t have recevied the Nobel Peace Prize if it wasn’t right?

Canadian Observer —— Yes, and we want to keep it that way!! — Its a slippery slope… europe is just slipping faster than we are… so is Canada…. is that good??? —– I think we need to revert back closer to the Constitution, which guaranteed that the power would reside with the people, and would limit the ability of government to “control” us…. It worked great to make the US the most vibrant and “free” country on earth for quite a while… I would like to see that continue!!

And by the way I wonder when ABC and the rest will wake up. They never vetted this President. Now take a look no one has a real clue as to who he really was. How pathetic. One main reason I never turn on ABC news they are as progressive as they come.

2012, we have a choice

All hail King Obama the Buffoon for taking a break from his ongoing series of luxurious vacations to talk to the little people.
Unite, Americans…
It’s going to take every one of us to get the Obamas, unions and parasite “social justice” Democrats off of our backs and out of our wallets.
Vote. Democrats. Out. ALL OF THEM.

In addition to traveling to places which are socialist or comunist or facist, why not travel to some countries that are truly free – Canada for example. It is 1/10 the size of the U.S. in terms of population, size of the economy etc. It has universal health care. No one goes bankrupt because of health care costs. It has slightly higher taxes although there is no tax on a capital gain on our homes, no estate tax, no tax on lottery winnings etc. And our national debt is about 1/25th the size of the U.S. debt. In other words on a per capita basis the U.S. debt is almost 2.5 times Canada’s. And I beleieve you would be hard pressed to find a Candian who would agree that we are less “free” than Americans.
But I hasten to add that we feel very close to our southern neighbours and generally agree about most international issues. We shared your pain of 9/11 and have had combat troops in Afghanistan since 2002. We follow U.S. news as much as we follow our own. Where we disagree, we manage to do agreeably.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz…

In addition to his daily lies, arrogance and narcissism, let’s review America under a fool named Obama:
–At 9.5%, the unemployment rate is 1.8 percentage points higher today than when Obama took office.
–There are 3.3 million fewer U.S. jobs than there were when Obama took office in January 2009.
–The U.S. economy has lost jobs in 12 of the 18 months he has been office, including the last two months.
–In early August of last year, Obama declared, thanks to his policies, the U.S. economy was “pointed in the right direction.” Since then, we have lost jobs in six of the 12 months for a net decline of 52,000 jobs. The 9.4% unemployment rate when he made this statement climbed to 10.1% and has since declined to 9.5%, still higher than it was last August.
–Obama signed into law a whopping $862 billion stimulus law to pay back union cronies and Democratic pals, and two health laws that will create $788 billion of new entitlements over the next decade. Combine these with countless other spending bills, several of which were labeled as emergencies and therefore not paid for, and the U.S. government is $2.5 trillion more in debt today than on the day Obama took office.
November and 2012 can’t come soon enough to rid ourselves of this complete hack Obama and his merry band of America-hating, socialist Democrats.

change…….change…….change……….the channel

OH MY GOD!
NOT ANOTHER SPEECH!
HAS THIS MAN NOT HEARD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
WE WANT YOU TO GO AWAY AND SHUT UP IN THE MEANTIME.
SHUT UP AND GO AWAY. FOOL!
ROWDY BOOTS

I’m glad there’s Little League on t.v…..cause I’ve BLOCKED Obama from my t.v.

Thank God for cable tv. At least I can switch to the Food Network while Obama is giving his latest apology for America.

Snarkey aren’t we! If he writes his own speeches, why can’t he give it without reading? Where are all the precious writings he did on the law review or in college papers? Can’t find any can you? And for my fellow Canadain – we are trying to keep our country as it was and is and not slip into the euro model. You think we haven’t travelled and know nothing about the world, you would be very wrong.
And as far as making me sick (above) it maybe has to do with the way he watches the tele just like a tennis match. It would make anyone sick, but I won’t watch a bit of his speech. I’ve heard enough of “Bush bashing” to keep me a life time.
I wonder how many I’s he puts in. I would guess over 100 any bets?

So if Democrats say Obama is smarter than Bush, does that make Democrats dumber than Obama?

Is he going to tell us how many jobs this will save/create, as well as how the draw down will lesssen Health Care costs as well?

Polish up those teleprompters, it’s story time from the Reader-In-Chief.

This guy is worst than Carter. At least Carter didn’t lie, he was a poor leader but he did not lie.
The Dems have a huge problem – they do not how to manage him.

I didn’t know so many grown people could be sooooooo corney at one time. if you don’t want to watch or hear what your president has to say,by all means change the channel. The world will not stop if you don’t listen . Give me a break.

JUST TO SAVE EVERYONE TIME, I went ahead and wrote Obama’s speech. You can find it on his teleprompter as follow:
“Let me be perfectly clear, I inherited this mess from George Bush, and despite the ditch that the Republicans left me in I was able to drive us on over the cliff.”
“I am taking full responsibility for the winning of this war, and assure you that my seemingly weak stance with all the Muslim countries has nothing at all to do with my weak support of Israel. If you have any problems, now that Bush is gone, remember the Republican Tea Party racists who wonder where my birth certificate is and why I have spent millions keeping it hidden.” I will be following this speech up with another speech for you as soon as I come back from my 7th vacation.”

Mr. Obama, save it. Most Americans can recite what you are going to say in one stanza, “America Is Bad”.

Give us our lie, our daily lie….
The only thing I want to hear from this idiot is “I resign”.

Don’t WATCH IT! By the way OBAMA, is GITMO closed? Of course not, since keeping it open is smart. But thanks to the Democrats it is now a symbol of torture. Hey everybody – if you don’t vote against this guy and his party, there is something seriously wrong with you. LET’S GET RID OF THE DEMOCRATS AND ELECT CONSERVATIVES -BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. VOTE, GIVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY – Do more than blog – above all, support media that reflects your values.

We finally find out the “Surge” was nothing more than genocide against the Sunnis by the Shias. Hip Hip Hooray. KILL KILL KILL!

Obama will probably blame the massive deficit on Bush based on our involvement in the Iraq war. He is without excuse since every man woman and child is $40,000 in debt because of all the entitlem,ent programs and so-called stimulus packages to union firms that are on the take with this administration.

Oh goody…..another wooden Obama speech…..can’t wait.

Yeah big bad John Wayne Bush needs to take the credit for the trillions of dollars wasted and the thousands of mothers,fathers,sisters,brothers,aunts,uncles and cousins families lost from this useless war.yeah let him take credit for that.

CND. All those stats? The only stat I stated was that 70% of the comments here are definetly not leaning the incompetent ones way. And in fact I think if you took the time to count them I would just about bet you that it was closer to 85%. The public is now aware that nothing more than a used car saleman, scam artist has been elected to lead the nation. He can now go home, where ever that is.

Also oh canada, you guys up there get attacked from without, who you gonna call, ghost busters or the mounties?

vanessapenny: Thats odd, I seem to remember the incompetent one just recently sending 30,000 troops to some place called Afghanistan. And for what? Probably the only way he can lie his way out of the backwards employment numbers his porkulus has provided us.

When’s his next vacation?

And in Bizarro world Obama wrote and read his own speeches. Bizarro Obama really does care about America, Bizarro Obama wants to give opportunities to everyone that does not include billions of $$$ of funny money, Bizarro Obama thinks that tax cuts and cuts in government spending will help raise the US economy from a limp to a run. Bizarro Obama thinks that government control over industry and healthcare will stifle innovation, investment and economic prosperity, Bizarre Obama cares. Bizarro Obama 2012!

Anytime Odumbo speaks I turn the sound on the TV off and I turn on the sound for a tennis match in progress and watch Odumbo’s head move back and forth as he recites the words on the teleprompter.

What is he to say? Is he going to take credit for the war effort? He did oppose the surge that finally put Iraq into some degree of stability. We have more people killed here in the US every day than is killed in Iraq at this time. Auto accidents account for more deaths than are occuring in Iraq. No! This man can not take credit for anything that was not already in place before he even thought about Iraq. Do not watch his spin, propaganda and lies.

You would think the man gets paid by the word.
Give it a rest Barry, we’re not listening anymore.

It would be nice to give Bush some credit for the surge, but it is hard to ignore the fact that it took four years of war for the Bush administration to come up with a winning strategy for a war that was going to take months and not years. It was a long expensive war that was never declared. How many of you would have voted to spend this much money and this many deaths and injuries for our American military to potentially estabish a democracy in the middle east?

The “Summer of Recovery” and the weapons of mass destruction can be found in the same place…?
This looser needs to get on the unemployment line with the rest of America.

The campaign promise he made about a responsible withdrawal of U.S Troops? How sad that everyone will forget this date was set by Bush before he left office. Obama is such a loser and a fraud. I hope cupcakes wars are on that night, anything but that loser.

Who gives a damn what he says. He’s a liar, first and foremost. I wouldn’t believe him on anything.

CND FOX —- You should try reading more than just what Dems put on paper. You say the GOP has no good ideas? This means your Democratic handler is doing their job and you are reading only what they want you to. Do you fall asleep listening to Obama speeches too? You speak of stats and when you are called out, you produce nothing. Here’s a concept for you, when this President signs something he says is for the good of us, why does it cost us more money? That’s a concept we will all remember at the polls. No matter the party. You, on the other hand, will vote present like a good little sheep. You are the one who needs to wake up.

Yowza. There’s a lot of noise on the comments thread in regards to a speech that hasn’t even been given yet.
Much of it reminds me of a song on Sheryl Crow’s new album, which was probably written with Sarah Palin in mind given the line about reloading, and the original version, but still.
Not the greatest song she’s ever written, but a few of the lyrics come to mind:
Ignorance is patriotic
Reasons are so idiotic
The winds of change just keep on blowing
This is America, you’d never know it
So much noise so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?

the next national election will be based on “concepts”

Hope and Change

The President loves to make speeches.
He loves to tell the people of the US how much he has done for us in the past 18 months. I see a rise in unemployment, and increase in the national debt and many people loosing their homes. I am going to watch what he does rather than listen to what he says.
What is Obama Facing?
Declining political standing
Continuing economic crisis
A rise of divisive issues such as immigration and Islam in America
and
New fault lines within the GOP
Yet he continues to vacation, campaign for Democrats, fundraise for Democrats and tell half-truths to the people in Columbus.
I want you to hold our government accountable. I want you to hold me accountable.”
Barack Obama
Tracking Obama’s Promises as of August 14, 2010
121 Promise Kept
39 Compromise
22 Promise Broken
81 Stalled
240 In the Works

I don’t want to hear the lies and I don’t want to see him… I’m tired of the spending, the lies, the government takeovers….etc etc etc…ALL OF IT.
Whenever it comes on, I’m not watching. Just a waste of hot air.

I think it’s funny when websites promote poll findings where the outcome is in their favor, but bad mouth polls and state they aren’t scientific when they do not.

CND FOX, it seems you want Obama to speak to the “educated intellectual part of our nation.” What in the name of Sam Hill does that mean? The unwashed ignorant rabble should tune out I guess. He should only speak to his peers, such as educated people as yourself? I am educated, have a JD in Law, a BA in History, am I qualified to listen even though I think the guy is an overblown college professor? I am 64 and most of my friends and relatives, and my wife don’t have college degrees but they are good decent people with good common sense who go about their lives living responsibly and succeeding. I do not consider myself superior in anyway to them because I am “educated.” Maybe the uneducated should not vote under your standards? Your arrogance is astounding surpassed only by Obama’s. As to the issues you mentioned that most Americans oppose, to disagree with your ilk, in your eyes is sheer stupidity and ignorance, not reasoned opposition. Intellectuals led the red revolt in 1917 and many American “intellectuals” sympathized with the reds including the mass murderer, Stalin. Well if this is an example of intellectual rule, we surely don’t need it. Lucifer was proud and arrogant, see what it got him?

brian Said: “time to rev up the teleprompter”
======================================
LOL… always funny to read the comments about this president and “his” teleprompter (as if he’s the only president who ever used one).
The teleprompter has actually been used by every president since Dwight Eisenhower, but for some it seems as though it’s some kind of new invention.
Then again, G.W. Bush preferred not to use the teleprompter because he couldn’t keep up with it… LOL.

Obama speeches are doing great things for my local Blockbuster store.

I have two words for the President:
Shut up.

Who wants to hear more lies from the Liar-In-Chief?
He is taking credit for what Bush set up. That’s his first lie.

I suggest everyone boycott this speech.
Seriously, what better message to send than a ZERO rating.
Let Obama and liberal pundits spew their nonsense to dark screens.

Will the president be there? Or are you just going to have the teleprompters for the viewing public to read. After all, we can read.

I have a question (on topic with Iraq)… Please read the WHOLE thing, and not just a a piece-thanks. :)
Does anyone else sometimes see blogs like these, as I do, as a sespool of sorts for the darkness of human nature that is full of some of the most blindly hateful and or ignorant people on earth? And I am not asking that based upon somebody merely taking a different position then you or I do… that by itself is fine. What I am basing that question upon is rather something else. For example…
20 minutes ago I posted a response on a different site in regards to the situation in Iraq. I simply stated that we need to be cautious in labeling this as a “mission accomplished” when just under 50,000 troops remain in Iraq, which is a level a bit higher then a mere security or training brigade.
I got one response that left me both perplexed and offended from a VET-He wrote “WHOS WAR MORON? YOU LIVER ONION SIT HERE COMMENTING WHILE OUR SOLDIERS DIE FOR NOTHING. GO SERVE OUR COUNTRY FOR MY FREEDOM-HAHA. I PROUDLY SERVED.”
Ummm, ok. Somehow this supposed VET came to the conclusion that I had no right to speak my mind, that I was gutless, and that I had never served in uniform, despite knowing NOTHING about me.
Or… yesterday I posted a response on a different website in regards to the Ground Zero Mosque. I merely wrote one very simplistic sentence which read “100 % legal, but 100% insensitive.” A responder, based upon that one mere sentence, felt that he knew me well enough to write two paragraphs about my entire life, calling be a something of a racist, a loser, somebody who doesn’t really care or understand the situation, who has no personal attachment to Ground Zero whatsoever.
All of that from ONE sentence.
Does anybody else just feel that after they come on a blog like this that they have come face to face with the ignorance, evil, judgement, and hate of mankind? I cant help but come here because I, like all of you, want my voice to be heard, but it just seems like we have to pay a large price for having a voice, and that price extends FAR beyond somebody merely taking a different position or disagreeing. The price amounts to civil ugliness.
Thoughts?
And please, for the love of God, keep the comments respectful, or else you are just proving my own point. Thanks.

Thanks Foghorn. I really appreciate the response.
Also, I must apologize to everyone here on the site about any typos I might make. I usually write out my blogs on WORD, then copy and paste them over. However, I’m working with a subpar version of WORD that has a horrific spell check (at home I have a much better/recent version, but I usually write most of these responses at work, which is using a near ancient word processor . Since I type VERY fast, I usually make several mistakes in grammar, and al though I try to proofread my work, even the silliest of mistakes will get by me and my spell check (i.e. spelling the word cesspool as sespool-dear god!). So just an apology to everyone here if the sentence structures are a bit “eh” on my posts from time to time. Thanks. :)

“Otherwise, expect to receive an onslaught of broad-sweeping, personal attacks.”
Just like when right wing nuts had album burnings of the Dixie chicks for daring to say they were ashamed Bush was from Texas…all about tolerance.

And please, for the love of God, keep the comments respectful, or else you are just proving my own point. Thanks.

It goes both ways, and its not just on the internet.
Personally, to your GZM comment I would have responded:
Anti-mosque rallies
100% legal
100% insensitive (and very good propaganda for jihadists)
And some people would consider that “mean”
My advice, if you really want it, is to remember they don’t know you, and hence what they say means very little in the larger scheme of things. Speak your mind and your version of the truth, and be content with yourself.
And never let a bully get away with bullying you.

The whole ‘mission accomplished’ banner was just put together by the personnel on that aircraft carrier that time, the WH did not authorize it. Beyond that, how come we’re not hearing of all the people that wish they were under the Saddam regime once again?

My guess is Obama will take credit for setting a plan in motion that was already set by the Bush administration. Isn’t this the same guy who was convinced the war was lost, the surge would not work????
