NEWS FLASH: BARACK OBAMA JUST SPENT A WHOLE TWO HOURS AND FORTY FIVE MINUTES IN AFGHANISTAN. EVERYONE START TALKING ABOUT HOW TOUGH HE IS ON NATIONAL DEFENSE. THESE TALKING POINTS WILL SELF-DESTRUCT, JUST LIKE OUR CANDIDATE.

You mean they're not happy with years of occupation involving tens of thousands of collateral damage casualties, midnight raids, dissappearences and torture?

Ungrateful foreigners, we brought them Freedoms

They figure as soon as he sees how much rubble there is form him to stand on he could never give it up.

 
Spanky_McFarksalot 2008-07-19 02:32:36 PM  
And there's the out. Regardless of what happens after, the Iraqi PM is fine with a time line. If the country collapses, hey, he wanted it.

Never should have gone in to begin with, but to cut & run would have been a disaster.

Thankfully the surge was successful enough.

one islamic state down, 56 to go... he's got a lot of campaigning to do!

Anything of substance to say about the content of the article? Or are you just going to keep harping on that point?

I'll be harping on his "america last" philosophy up until the moment the media grudgingly admits he lost on election night.

Of course, I'd prefer a one month pullout plan.

6/10. A noble effort. Bringing back "cut & run" was a nice touch. But you're missing "appeaser," "lose the war" and something about how they'll "follow us home."

Obama is a secret Muslim, of course he would.

honestly, with now the iraqi government admitting that obama's plan is right for iraq, and our own government begrudgingly admitting obama's plan is right for iran, and the military admitting that obama's plan is probably right for afghanistan...

how could anyone want to vote for john mccain for foreign policy credentials? if we were keeping score, has mccain even scored one point on the topic yet?

He was shot down in Vietnam and stuff. Obviously, this means he'd be a better president since, like, he's a war hero or something.

By adopting Obama's positions, they'll be able to come back and say that he's talking about doing the things they're already doing. which just goes to show how he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Corvus, this November, after Obama is elected, just remember how annoyed you were right now. Then, sign onto Fark, and look for the conservative-coronary-cases post their last hurrah.

"NO, HE'S BLAAACK!"

It'll be greeeat. Tony the Tiger style.

Hahah so funny

Are you sad that your glorious leader Bush had to send people to talk with Iran after he said he would never do that?

Are you sad the McCain is saying he will pull troops out of Iraq to put in Afghanistan after he said it was irresponsible for Obama to say it?

Are you crying because the PM of Iraq is saying that Obama's plan is the better plan.

It must be hard for you that you entire reality is crumbling before you.

But please keep having fits and calling people names. We find it funny.

I heard he's a secret muslim who went to a secret muslim school and wore a muslim robe thingy in Africa and gives terrorist fist-bumps to his wife who called somebody whitey on a tape that hasn't surfaced yet but will any day now I'm sure of it.

Listening to right wingers talk about Obama just stinks of desperation. I don't think he's perfect by any stretch. I mean, he's a politician and therefore not to be trusted. But anyone who can make Rush Limbaugh go into an Oxy induced conniption fit is okay by me.

 
captain_napalm 2008-07-19 03:03:01 PM  
so what happens when obama loses? do you guys just go ahead and demonize mccain like you did to bush? because if so, you're behind schedule already, after starting a year before the latter was even elected.

Ok I admit it. You are right. Black control all of the Untied States and will make Obama win.

You are correct HAHAHAHHAAHHAHA. There is nothing you and the powerless white people can do to stop it.
