Thanks to President Bush and our FANTASTIC military, he can arrive safely in Iraq.

I guess this is why MO was sent home.

Well, Major Garrett was absolutely breathless over the possibility...and the Friends were teasing it all morning.

does anyone know if Obama is a sunni or a shia muslim? I am sure he is a muslim, but wonder what side he might be on in their ongoing hatred of one another.

I think it might matter in the long run.

gotta post another couple hours of “combat experience” to burnish his credentials as Commander in Chief

this could take him over the 72 hour mark!

No surprise. Taking a cue from the same president he spent two years bashing at every turn while he was a senator presidential candidate.

I would think this would have been a no-brainer. Wasn’t he just in Turkey? To have the CIC right next door and then NOT stop in to see the troops? That would have been political suicide.

I can’t wait until someone gets a shot of Garret kissing the ground O’Bummer walks on, I bet he gets a tingle up his leg too.

Well well, *O* decided to show up. I was wondering if he would go to Baghdad.

Now, I'm sure the MSM will bill this as a stunt like they did to President Bush! /sarc

Yep.  He's gonna apologize to the 25 million Iraqis at a town hall style meeting for "that last administration" for giving the Iraqi people a sense of freedom and democracy.

Yes, major Garret’s worship of Obama has been embarrassing for some time. He seems to believe it but keep in mind he may just be selling his journalistic soul for access. The Obama team must be so happy to have him.

I honestly don’t think he’s Muslim. I think he’s a secular humanist with a supremely Marxist ideology. I think he has simply *used* religion to serve his purposes.

Just watch and see, he will never get a dog as muslims think they are unclean beasts. Why do you suppose he sent the bust of Churchill back to the UK? Churchill hated them all as duplicitous backstabber's that could put even the french to shame.

...Big secret, this was on Fox earlier, the demonspoke head told M. Garrett, “you have the POSPOTUS schedule”. Now he’s going to lecture the troops. “I’m going to release a time table for withdrawal so the insurgents will know when to come back and kill you after your asses are hung out to dry here. Sorry, no room on Air Force One”...

Far right - White Guy and Black Guy -

White Guy: Is He Having A Problem?
Black Guy: Don't Know. I Saw Him Do It In Front Of Soros.
White Guy: How High Did He Rise Up?
Black Guy: Bumped His Head On The Ceiling!
White Guy: Maybe His Arrogance Is Holding Him Down?

I say Sunni for sure—bow to King Abdullah; majority in his beloved Pokiston, including I believe their current leadership with whom he has college ties; majority in Indonesia and worldwide; and the Sunni were the leaders in Iraq most against the liberation that included its Shiite minority.

I have been googling, and both Pakistan and Indonesia are primarily Sunni. So, he must have been schooled in Sunni.

Wonder what kind of trouble he will stir up in Iraq?

Hmmm, didn't they used to have to do a corkscrew landing when bringing visiting dignitaries?

Even if it's not necessary anymore, I sure hope the pilot did it anyway...with vigor!

I think he’d be happy to have Iraq slip back to the Sunni/ex-Baathists, and for us to exit with the Sunni ‘Moderate (ha!)’ Taliban lording over Afghanistan, but his eyes are on the global prize.
