Obama reference?

Thanks for the ping ikez. I think Hillary is looking at something lower - perhaps a child. Look at the man on the far right as he is looking in the same direction.

AND, can anyone tell me why this computer shows everything so dark that I have to lighten it and yet the colors are bright and pretty?? The resolution is set where it told me to set it.

SORRY ikez78 ! I posted the graphic to the wrong thread. Trying to play catchup too fast, lol.

[SoldierDad]

All I can say is “WOW”!!! I’m downloading the five volumes of the report so I can read it in it’s entirety. All the better to be armed against the Sheople who keep trying to tell me that Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda.

[SoldierDad]

Didn’t realize just how long it would take to download all five volumes, but it will be worth it.

In all honesty, those reporters should concede that Clinton and Gore and all the other Dems were also wrong about saddam, because they made essentially the same claims as Bush throughout the Clinton years and even into the Bush administration. But they get a pass so that the Dem reporters can lie about Bush.

Thank you very much, Mark and Joseph.

A wonderful "thing happened on the way to the Forum"...

Operation Iraqi Freedom has not only removed the Middle East tyrant and most prolific butcher of Muslims in the world, but also removed the Financier-and-Launderer-in-Chief and dismantled big part of financing network of the worldwide jihadist / mujahid terrorist activity...

At the same time, all the while we are (and need to "stay the course") in Iraq, we have effectively restricted the originally planned and still preached by al-Qaeda "Worldwide Jihad and Caliphate" to much more limited " 'Worldwide' Jihad in Iraq" and reduced the initial bragging and demands by leadership of al-Qaeda to whining about their losses and trying to generate some semblance of support for their activities in hot spots elsewhere in the world.

Whether by original design (President Bush stated early on that "Iraq is a central front in the War on Terror") or not, this transformed "the war" militarily into relatively limited regional engagement which we could win with limited resources and are winning brilliantly, along with the "hearts and minds" in the region. We came in as liberators and protectors and our presence is and should be continued there in this role (Murthas, Kerrys, Reids and Pelosis notwithstanding).

Your work on prewar docs and follow-up materials is essential to understanding and justification not only of current efforts and events but also for possible future "preemptive" actions, if necessary, even if "unilateral".

If one has watched the past two days on the PBS Frontline, "Bush's War", one will see how cleverly the L/MSM are making it look like the reasons to go into Iraq where wrong.
As usual. The L/MSM really have won the war on what the public will perceive as being the whole truth. As for as 99.99% of the world's population goes, there where no WDM's in Iraq.
We few obviously know otherwise.

Yes. If you watch BHO’s speeches you become increasingly aware of his skills as an attorney. He can make you believe what he wants to. Like a spengoli, it’s really creepy to watch unless you have no frame of reference.

[SoldierDad]

BHO does have good oratory skills. However, he’s just an empty suit, the same as HRC. They tell people, “yes, I have a plan for that”, but never state any details for their plan.
