1: The troop surge worked, or
2: The Islamobastards want the SOB to win the election.
Obama will display in spotlights the cognitive dissonance that is the hallmark of the neoliberal left, and the more he does, the meaner he gets and the more he flails in the eyes of those with common sense.
But, asked Moran,if the country had pursued your policy of withdrawing in the face of this horrific violence,
what do you think Iraq would look like now?
Obama said it would be hard to speculate. The Sunnis might have made the same decisions at that time.
The Shiias might have made some similar decisions based on political calculation.
There was ethnic cleansing in Baghdad that actually took the violence level down,
the Democratic Anti-American messiah said.
McCain called for an got the surge strategy in Iraq...and it is clearly working.
Going into Iraq was no mistake. An abject tyrant, and friend to our enemies, was brought down and tens of millions of people given an opportunity for liberty. Besides, look at a map. We have Iran, the largest state sponsor of terror hemmed in on three sides. Iran can not got to the bathroom without us knowing about it and being able to do something about it. And they know it, and that geo-political reality is no accident.
The terrorists are hiding in holes, or dying when they come out and are unable to attack us here. They fear our remote controlled, unmanned predator and reaper aircraft, knowing that day or night they can see them and kill them with no chance whatsoever of martydom.
But Obama says we are less safe now and that the "strategy" has failed. Well, I have a question or two about that in light of the foregoing.
How is it less safe for us here to have the principle state sponsor of terror so hemmed in by our forces?
How is it less safe for us here to be developing two free, constitutional republics in the middle east to the chagrin and spite of the totalitarian jihadists there, showing the people of the entire region that there is a hope for freedom?
How it is less safe for us here to have so shut down the terror network that gave us 911 that they have not been able to execute another terror attack on our soil since?
Any objective, common sense look at the geopolitical situation simply punctuates the success of the policy of taking this fight to this enemy...and McCain has improved it, not lessened or weakened it.
Obama is looking more and more desperate, more an dmore foolish in the face of continued success, and, OBTW, that is a success born of volunteers who reapply for service in large percentages who have been there, seen the enemy, defeated him, and know the importance of the mission.
Isnt’ it obvious? By going to Iraq, Obama is admitting Iraq is a success!
- it’s now a place for a “statesman” to go
- it’s safe for him to go
- he needs to go now or be obviously stuck in the loser’s corner
- conversely, if Iraq was in chaos, he would simply stand back and tsk, tsk, like before.
Obama's Speech at Woodrow Wilson Center ( Published August 1, 2007 ....revisiting History is useful)
In which he said:
**************************EXCERPT****************************
The first step must be getting off the wrong battlefield in Iraq, and taking the fight to the terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I introduced a plan in January that would have already started bringing our troops out of Iraq, with a goal of removing all combat brigades by March 31, 2008. If the President continues to veto this plan, then ending this war will be my first priority when I take office.
