Ob(s)ama will bring the troops home and then the terrorist attacks begin. We can’t leave Iraq until the job Mr. Bush rightly started is finished and ALL the terrorists have all been martyred. Obama thinks Mr. McCain’s war record doesn’t matter, but he’s a real war hero. O’bama doesn’t have the experience. I know who I want for president.

Both candidates talk out of both sides of their mouths when they have to. Hillary Clinton is even more shameless about it.

Unfortunately, it’s part of the job. That’s what politicians do.

Look at the candidates. Look at their past. Look at their record. Look at what they believe on the issues. Analyze their plans. Don’t believe the hype. Don’t believe the double talk. Then make the best decision you can.

On google news. What he did say was he would go to Iraq and see for himself,then he would go from there but he said that he is more concerned about having troops in afghanistan now.As for troop removlas from Iraq,it will be a long,slow process because a sudden withdrawl would not be feasable yeat and it would also be a fiscal nightmare,as it would be cost prohibitive for any sudden pullout from Iraq. He has also said that he is now in favor of a mandatory service policy,meaning that those that are 18-24 would have to serve 2-3 years in the branch of armed forces of their choice or which ever one that they are qualified for. This will also make it possible for the armed forces to go back to their more stringent requirements thereby keeping the undesireables out such as criminals,felons and gang members.

Obama is right. It is important to be flexible and make adjustments when and where they are required. This is something that Bush has never been able to do sticking to his guns and is why this country is in it’s current state. 8 years of Bush and I challenge anyone to say that things are better now than they were when he first took office. Obama will be the best thing to happen to our great nation in at least 8 years, if not more.

[...] be most flagrant in the MSM. As a result, Barack Obama has given another press conference, and has issued an email confirming that he has, in fact, been very consistent. Some reaction from the blogosphere has been [...]

Wow, the libs are already in full denial mode over Obama’s comments – not that this is at all unexpected. Obama could come out tomorrow and proclaim that he’s in favor of staying in Iraq for the next decade and his cheerleaders would immediately put on their Ministry of Truth hats – a la 1984 – and begin a spin campaign that would *prove* that Obama had always held such a position. The only thing I really want to know is: Do these libs actually believe the lies they’re selling or is it that they simply hope we’re stupid enough to believe them?

“I will give their counsel great weight. But, as commander in chief, it is my responsibility to make my own assessment of the situation.”

Translation – I’ll make my own decision on the situation that is taking place on the other side of the globe and I haven’t been to in years.

Yeah, great plan.
