Sen. Obama: Iraq is a dumb war

The Daily Register ^

What, exactly, has Obama ever done to warrant such glowing press?

Well, since you asked:

Truth! Justice! And the American Way!

[tkathy]

The Balkans were the ultimate dumb war. Where was this phony???

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Some pretty good luck got him into the Senate, but it might not be there to sustain him.

[goodnesswins]

Did you hear Dick Morris on H&C last night....he actually referred to "crazy Democrats".....I laughed out loud at his honesty.

[Christian4Bush]

Oh, this from the man who insisted that Bolton said something but it was discovered he was quoting Josh Bolten.

Mornin' Peach...you master transcriptionist you!

You KNOW that people would be throwing Oreo cookies and holding up bottles of Aunt Jemima syrup at this guy...if he was a Black CONSERVATIVE...(and I say that as a Black Conservative) but since he is a Black Marxist leaning liberal, supporting the "conscience of the Senate", Robert KKK Byrd, Osama Obama is hailed as the Second Coming.

Lovely state representation, Illinois...Dick Turbin, Osama Obama, the uh Revrun Thacksuunn (Jr)...glad I didn't move there.

Sure war is dumb until you consider the alternative. Obama suffers from taking freedom too lightly. We don't have freedom today were it not for spilled blood from soldiers gone by. From the time this country was founded until now we would not have freedom unless men were willing to die for it.

[Peach]

LOL.

Good morning, Christian. You are SO right about how things would be QUITE different if Obama was a conservative.

[Christian4Bush]

If Mr. Obama can not see the benefit of having our troops smack dab in the middle of Muslem Central, instead of twiddling their fingers over in the states, then I am definitely glad that he has no say in determining our safety.

Well, almost "no say"...he is, unfortunately, one vote out of 100 on issues that directly affect our security, our financial prosperity, our culture, our judges, our way of life. Kinda like the old saying about snowflakes...they are frail, but enough of them clumped together can stop traffic.

Nope, missed Vannity & Homely last night, but Morris doesn't surprise me. He generally goes with the popular opinion because he's a political strategerist that always wants to be on the winning side.

[originalbuckeye]

Agree completely. He's the Dem's great black hope. I believe that he was actually brought up by his white mother as the father deserted them. He's being touted at the VP candidate to Hillary's Presidential candidacy. I listened to his speech at the Dem convention in 2004 because I wanted to see what he was about. If the MSM actually asks Obama or Hillary to take positions on ANY issue, there is no way that they would be elected. Sadly the MSM doesn't care about the truth. They will lob softballs and these two will skate on the issues. Has Hillary ever had to answer any tough questions?? Neither will Obama be required to take a stand on anything. He just looks the part.

As much as people on FR does not like Bill O'Reilly, last week he had some guy on and asked him specifically what to do to win the war on terror. BOR then asked what is Al Gore's plan. The guy answered that Gore stated we must go after the terrorists where they are. BOR stopped him and said, do you want to go into Pakistan. The guy basically sputted and said there are other ways to go after terrorists than by invading. When pressed, the dems look and sound extremely foolish and weak.

[7thson]

He is black. That is all.

IMHO, we need to be very wary of this "lightweight". He's a very smooth talker. Look how he found the middle ground on war......In cases like World War II and...removing the Taliban ...war can be the only option. "There are real enemies out there and we have to face them," Obama said. But, Iraq is a "dumb" war. Walking both sides of the line...very clever.

If he continues in this vein, wouldn't be surprised to see him on the 2008 Dem ticket as VP.
God help us.

[originalbuckeye]

Was this Kucinich last night? He gave a list of 4 things that he would do. I can't remember any of them. He tried to filibuster BOR and O'Reilly wasn't having any of it. I have seen Kucunich 4 President bumper stickers. What are these people thinking???

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Another gem of a quote from the Dumb Senator from Illinois.

[NordP]

"Iraq is a dumb war"

Wow...ha ha ha ... This is from the "best and brightest" of the Dems, huh? How "big picture" of you, Bommy!

[Christian4Bush]

What, exactly, has Obama ever done to warrant such glowing press?

In my opinion, as a black conservative, the reason he gets the press he does, is that he is a reasonable sounding Black Liberal.(I know, most people would say "is there another kind?" (black liberal, that is)

I guess he's the first black senator ever, or at least in a long time. As I posted to Peach upthread, if he were a black conservative, I dare say he'd be treated way differently.

And because he is black, and a liberal, he automatically becomes part of the "protected class" that Ann Coulter talked about (i.e. you can't talk about him, or oppose him, lest you risk being branded as a racist), joining the Jersey Girls, Max Cleland, Cindy Sheehan, any leftist who uses their military service as a weapon to beat over the head of "those who never served" (wished they'd do that to REAL draft dodgers Bill Clinton and Howard Dean)...

Anyway, that's my two rambling cents.

Dumb AND stupid AND insulting. Apparently none of these idiots think of our soldiers and their families before they open their mouths. My son fought in Iraq and lost four good friends there, people like Obama aren't good enough to lick our soldiers' combat boots.
