It's a shame the MSM desn't realize how important they would become again if they just told the truth.....

Look at Fox, Look at Rush....tell the truth and you grow, lie for the democrats and you join the dinosaur media death watch.

simple stuff

The gains of the troop surge allowed the Iraqi government and citizenry to implement the security measures and legislative acts called for by the U.S.

That's the mission I am proud to be a part of. Late last year when we saw it really start to come together, it was fascinating.

And Police Day in Baghdad this past January was a fantastic experience. Just a year before, we wouldn't have dreamed of attending such an event because it was too dangerous.

My, how things have changed and continue to change.

We need to leave now cause all we are doing is just nation building.. /s

In reality in the long term going into Iraq was good idea because it created a roach hotel for terrorist. They come in, but they don't come out.

Body Odor is going to have a tough sell, as things continue to improve and McPain can site so many verifiable facts to use against the nay sayers.

Don’t forget the Democrat that fessed up that in 2006 Democrats “kinda lied a little” about the state of affairs in Iraq so they could win control of Congress.

That is treason to give aid and comfort to the enemy by spouting propaganda designed to sink US morale.

let’s say Obama does go to Iraq

well what is he going to say, after being there he’d be told by the Iraqi politicians that progress is good, he would be told by the generals and by the soldiers progress is good, he would be told by the vast majority that progress is now happening

so what does he say when he comes back, that is if he has any guts to go there and seek the truth.

the fare left and the dims are in a confused state right now, they cannot use Iraq and what happened to Pelosi two years ago saying we will bring oil down, we will do this and that

they haven’t done anything and if the GOP doesn’t call it for them then they most certainly will be hammered at the next election

so come on the republican party ask them where there plan went to ask them about Iraq and oil prices they said they would bring down.
shouting all day that we must seek alternative fuel is not going to bring down process nor is it going to get us off foreign oil .

I never knew about Lenora , so many thanks .

the dims lied and lied about Iraq, they went on their tirades with the help of the MSM, They shouted they would do this and that and yet have done nothing and instead of the American public asking what is the plan they just voted for the dims.
For instance
the Dims say they will pull pout and redeploy

well I would like to know what time frame, are they saying pull out right now or gradually over year, redeploy redeploy where?????????????????, and if it kicks off again in Iraq do we go back in and what would make us go back in.

Of course the GOP could have been more useful and getting these questions asked instead the Dim party got elected on useless, promises and lies.
Not surprising is that Obama is doing it again, sue the media, tell lies, make a load of false promises and yet won’t even have a town hall debate where he can be questioned by the likes of me who is a white, gun toting, not that religious though, wanting borders closed down sort of a guy

Outside of a few Republican Senators and HR Reps that have cried for many years we had to change our gas/oil drilling and refining process, the rest of the lot are basically bozos.
So many of them are ill-informed at best.
I place equal blame on both the presidents and congress of the past thirty years for being stupid on the energy issues. Often idiots that are to easily convinced by some given faction and then put their heads in the sand and ignore the problem.
