How is it that a possible commander and chief has decided what to do in Iraq BEFORE meeting with the very people that are on the ground?  As commander and chief you CANNOT base your decisions on news reports. You have to dig deeper than that. How can he lead the country when he doesn't talk to the one's involved? According to Obama, he states that he will make the decisions on Iraq, because that is what the Commander and Chief does. My question is, if you are not on the ground overseeing what is going on, then how are you qualified to decide what is best? Apparently, many Democrats believe they can make the decision on Iraq without knowing what is going on. I don't know what is going on, so I cannot make an educated guess on what to do. How can anyone else? The news is now starting to show the positive side in Iraq, but they are not the source to go to figure out the situation. I would rather hear reports from the field commanders, for that is what will tell me the truth of the whole situation.

Obama is in the perfect party... he's a "jackass"

Easy, "PSYCHOLOGICALLY" AND "MENTAL"! 4300 men and women have died based on a "LIE" a "FABRICATION" of the truth. One (1) Trillion Dollars later, and a broke America who's dollar is worth less than $.61 cents and the less than the "EURO"

Easy, by not allowing a madman, who lied to you another four years of the same battlefield, same blame, PLAME GAME and no way out. No Exit Strategy, just fight fight, fight with no "MISSION" in sight.

Obama didn't create this war, and someone has to stand up for you when you stand down and blame the "BLACK" GUY AGAIN! That is like saying you miss Tim McVeigh and you can't understand why there was such a fuss over what his "TERRORIST" actions caused. No Biggie he ain't no OBAMA. John McCain thanks you for all the BOOTY SMOOCHING he is getting from his supporters because he is 72 years of age and it isn't like he can get it at home! Big Kiss John John. It's okay, it's alright, just stay in their and fight fight fight.

Obama...

" ... Democrats believe they can make the decision on '{everything}'
without knowing what is going on."

Isn't that what they usually do? Seems so!

Obama to them, it seems, is their "Prophet" or "Messiah".

Though, to many others,
Obama is the "Prophet of Pending Doom!"

Democrats have a need to 'appease' the Arab Nations.
{WE, Democrats, shall have an 'Arab-American President'
and call him: Barack Hussein Obama!"
He is a 'TRUE' ARAB-AMERICAN!

Prophet OBAMA is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side.
He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.
He's NOT A 'BLACK NEGROID' man.
By definition/Blood Line:
He is a 'Caucasian-Arab Mix'!
And what is most important ..... HE NEVER LIES!}

This is nothing about race, this has to do with who is best for the job. Yes, 4300 people died in Iraq. That was to depose a dictator who cut the tongues off of people who disagreed with him. If we don't finish the job, then we will end up going back again in 10 years. What is the use of that? Stop thinking short term, and think LONG TERM. Look down the road for your children. I personally like having a paycheck where I am taking home more than I am paying in taxes. If Obama gets in, that will not be the case, because I am going to have to pay the health insurance of a meth head who doesn't have a job. I also enjoy having a job, so if Obama gets in, and he makes private companies pay the health care, that means more people are going to be without work. You tell me how fair that is?

You issued a question for responses, yet you now qualify feed-back by stating some b/s about " ... nothing about race, ... a dictator who cut the tongues off of people ... Stop thinking short term, and think LONG TERM ... Look down the road for your children ...
Oh by-the-way an ethic nationality does not relate to One's Race!
Sorry I interrupted your censorship.

Obama has gone into Iraq to get an idea as to what is actually going on. Our Generals can not speak out about anything. If they do they are either demoted or asked to resign all together. The Iraqi Government is in agreement with Obama's 16 month plan. They want a timetable. It is THEIR country not ours. They should have the say about everything that happens there, not the US. The mission was to get Saddam and that mission is over. It's time to stop the BS about finishing, it is finished. It is now a rebuilding stage. If Obama didn't go in then people would have said, why hasn't he gone in yet? He does go in then people ask why? What is it that people want from this man? He said after he has weighed all of the evidence from the Generals and the Iraqi Government he will discuss it. Wait and see what he has to say before you decide. And also remember, if McSame gets in your children will be there too. I find it funny that all of a sudden Bush is ready to set a timetable of sorts in Iraq. He now is looking at diplomatic solutions with Iran. Could it be the Republicans are now grasping at straws?

You can't depose a leader of a country and then just walk away. If we did that in Germany, in World War II, another Hitler would have risen. If did that to the Japanese, they would have never became a free market super power like they are. Obama already set the 16 month time table before he even talked to anyone, before he went over there. By the way, if it was as easy as you think, then why has your Democratic Congress not gotten the troops out yet?

jdoehring so very right, look what happened in Afghanistan when we just stopped sending aid after the Russians pulled out, if we would have kept it up to help rebuild the scum that went in and took over would not have stood a chance, remember the guy that went in there with all the money, Osama Bin Laden the guy Lt. Col. Oliver North warned us about in 1987!
If we don't take care of it now we may not get another chance, they might make 9/11/01 look like a picnic. Remember these people don't care if they die or who they kill to make a point.
Also remember they declared war on us in the 70's.

It doesn't take an idiot to realize that reports coming out of Iraq via generals were all BS. In fact, haven't we already 'discovered' the many lies of the Bush admin including this one?

And we declared war on them first when we sent the Jews to the promised land and supplied them with weapons etc. Learn your history before you go about making comments on a subject you know nothing aobut.

Obama has about 143 days active on the job as senator, and thinks he is qualified to be President. Now he spends a day or two in Iraq and Afghanistan and thinks that qualifies him to make military decisions. Simple.

McCain has proved after multiple trips to Iraq that he still doesn't get it. He can't even understand the difference between Sunnis and Shias. Gaffe after gaffe has been recorded and highly publicized on his inability to understand what's going on, and he can't travel with Joe Lieberman all the time to be there to correct him. Just yesterday McCain made another serious blunder on the CBS news which they covered up. It's all over the press today and available for a quick read just about anywhere. Except here, of course. McCain has military experience as a pilot, but not much seems to be spoken about his incident when he flew into the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, crashing and killing many. He was a POW, and for that I thank him and respect his service, but he's no more qualified on foreign politics than Obama. He's just confused all the time, and keeps mixing his facts up.

For those like to boast McCain's military experience as such great qualification as Commander In Chief, consider this....as reported by the U.S. Veteran Dispatch.

McCain was the spoiled son of military privilege and got a free ride throughout his military career despite repeated instances of sex scandals and screw-ups. He wanted to become an admiral and planned to be the "first son and grandson of four star admirals" but it wouldn't happen. He had none of the innate character and discipline traits that helped mold his father and grandfather into great military leaders. McCain was known as "rowdy, raunchy, underachiever" who resented authority, and was known among his fellow midshipmen for organizing drinking parties. His grades were marginal. He drew many demerits for breaking curfew and other discipline issues, and graduated fifth from the bottom of his class. Even with this low class standing the influence of his family of famous admirals leap-frogged him ahead of more qualified applicants and granted a slot to be trained as a Navy pilot. He lost 5 military aircraft in his impressive career, before being shot down in 1967 and captued by the Vietnamese.

McCain returned to the U.S. in 1973, in the fall of '74 he assumed the command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. This promotion was called controversial and attributed to favoritism, "a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather" since he had not first commanded a squadron, which was the usual career path. He abused his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and "engage in extra-marital affairs," all on taxpayer dollars. These violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates. But as before, his transgressions were ignored. The list of carousing and drinking are well documented and too numerous to mention here. He resigned fromt he Navy in 1981. McCain was friends with Charles Keating who was convicted of fraud, racketeering and conspiracy. He was elected to the Senate in 1987.

Beacon of integrity ?? I think not.

How many of the Clinton's friends have had criminal convictions and the sex scandals of Bill? we wont even mention perjury, but that OK , Obama's friends, terrorist (bombed gov. building and said he wished he did more) Obama's mentor (named book for him) is a raciest attended his sermons for 20 years also admitted to a lot of drug use. and as far as McCain crashing a jet, do you mean the Forestall incident he was sitting in a parked aircraft on the deck when another aircraft miss fired a rocket (no crash) when he was a released POW he was in no condition to serve reg. duty due to his leg being broken multiple times by the N.V.. I also hear about Cindy involved in liquor bis. that was her father, no one ever cared that Joe Kennedy was a self admitted bootlegger and worked with the Mafia, sounds a bit like OK for me but not you. LOL

I live in the U.S.A. we didn't send the Jews to the promised land (Israel) you need to learn a bit of world history the Brits set that up, it was part of their Empire, we supported them later much later. Now even Obama admitted yesterday that the Gen.s on the ground in Iraq were correct that its working (another lie?) so who spitting B.S. now? Obama? or someone who thinks they know?
