Not something to be taken lightly.

Obama will be tested within six months posited Biden, before dropping off the radar. Additionally, he pleaded for the populace not to judge the Obama Presidency harshly.

So what can happen? Will someone blow up the Sears Tower or release Sarin in the NY subway? Or will Obama pull all the troops out Of Iraq by the end of his first six months.I’ll bet the farm on that!

Here is the likely conclusion of this preference.

Immediately Al Sadr screeches for help from the Shi’a in Iran, Assuredly, they’ll be most happy to help butchering as many Sunnis as possible.

In the north, Turkey will clean up the border problem with the PKK, probably by relocating Turkey’s border somewhere south of Mosul. Why not have a war for oil; that’s more than existed in Armenia. Presumably, some ethnic cleansing is OK; if Obama’s Peoples Democratic Party says it is acceptable, then it is.

The Peoples Democratic Party will do what they did in 1972. The results will not be different.

With the eradication of Iraq, it’s a short march to Syria, consolidation of supply lines and then all out war on Israel. What do we do in this situation? Ask Pelosi and Reid. Ask Biden now. Obama stated his position a while ago.The U.S. creates more enemies and we become further isolated. Our enemies love this, both external and internal types.

The Middle East will explode with a excellent chance of becoming nuclear. What we’ll see is MAD in a small place, for starters. If you think Israel will go down alone, you are really dense.  Europe goes next; the Crusades will be a mere dot in history.

If anyone thinks Israel would listen to the US after we pull out of Iraq explain your reasoning. We already proved our word is worthless.

Losing a war has many repercussions.

This was published in Australia (sent to me by an Expat, sent me a big batch) giving a view of Obama as dome others see him. There’s more on the fool and other Donks too.

A graphic difference between McCain and Obama.

Second part

Cheering for one side in a war is cheering against the other side. No getting around that simple fact!

Barack Obama is not the Messiah; his new title is Master of the Obvious (MotO).  For example, there’s this little nugget of wisdom from Mr. MotO—wait for it—an American president can’t just snap his fingers and erase generations of religious and ethnic tensions in the Middle East.  How does the man sleep at night when he knowingly withheld this earth shattering information?  If we’d known about this, the whole Middle East thing would have been solved years ago.

And most interesting of all, Mr. MotO dropped a dime on Iran.  Did you know a nuclear armed Iran poses “a grave threat”?  I’m flabbergasted.  All this time I thought one of the world’s largest oil exporters really needed the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.  How wrong was I?

No wonder the media worships the ground Mr. MotO walks on.  With pearls of wisdom like this, we’re in for a bright and glorious future under his leadership.

So why does Barack Obama continue to oppose the surge in Iraq even though it’s effective?

“These kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult,” he said. “You know, hindsight is 20/20. But I think that what I am absolutely convinced of is that, at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with.”

In that inarticulate mess of an answer, what he’s struggling to say sans teleprompter is that he opposed a person and never examined the policy.  The man who’ll unite us thought he’d change the “debate” with an emotional gut reaction instead of logic.  But the thing that really blows me away is that even after the surge is effective, Obama is still opposed.

Bush waited too long to implement the surge, but at least he finally changed course.  It’s pretty sad when you do have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and still can’t adjust.

Let me see if I have all of this straight.  Barack Obama, who didn’t support the surge in Iraq and won’t recognize the positive results, supports a surge for Afghanistan.  Pray tell, Messiah, what makes the Afghan surge more likely to yield results than the Iraq one you never supported?

And if that didn’t make your head hurt, Obama promises to end the war in Iraq and will celebrate by starting one in Pakistan:

“Al-Qaida has an expanding base in Pakistan that is probably no farther from their old Afghan sanctuary than a train ride from Washington to Philadelphia.

“We cannot tolerate a terrorist sanctuary, and as president I won’t,” he said.

“We must make it clear that if Pakistan cannot or will not act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like (Osama) bin Laden if we have them in our sights.”

So Barrack Obama is going to “restore” our standing in the international community by violating the sovereignty of a nuclear armed Pakistan.  I guess you have to believe in his messianic powers to make sense of these plans.

If this is the best he can do with a prepared speech and teleprompter, no wonder he won’t face McCain in town hall meetings.  The debates should be very entertaining when this empty suit won’t have his campaign staffers whispering in his ear.

It’s also interesting to note all these policies were developed prior to his trip overseas where he was suppose to gain some gravitas on international issues.  Of course that dog and pony show is akin to visiting Niagara Falls and claiming you’re now qualified to be ambassador to Canada.

The US is in Iraq for the long haul.  Both major presidential candidates know it, but only McCain is honest enough to admit it.  Barack dropped a trial balloon on Thursday hinting at what his advisers have been saying all along—his Iraq policy would be tempered by the situation on the ground in January.  This rare bit of honesty from Obama on Iraq sent the moonbats into orbit, and “Captain Courageous” immediately backed down.  It seems massive tax increases are the only thing Barack discusses honestly.

 ”Bible thumping”

An American soldier used a Quran, the Islamic holy book, for target practice in a predominantly Sunni area west of Baghdad, prompting an apology from the U.S. military, a spokesman said Sunday.

The Association of Muslim Scholars, a Sunni group, condemned the shooting of the Quran, calling it “a hideous act against the book of almighty God and the constitution of the nation and the source of its glory and dignity.”

The incident was first reported by CNN, which broadcast a ceremony at which the top American commander in Baghdad apologized to tribal leaders in Radwaniyah. The military confirmed the details in an e-mailed response to a query.

Would we hear a comparable height of outrage from American scholars if the book was a Bible? I’m sure they’d be upset.

What is Barack Obama’s Iraq policy? He publicly states that troop withdrawal will begin immediately upon his election with all brigades leaving Iraq in 16 months. However, a senior foreign policy adviser recommends keeping 80,000 to 90,000 troops in a support role through at least 2010. Additionally, the campaign fired another foreign policy adviser who suggested their Iraq strategy might be influenced by US military commanders. Who want to consult with them after all?

But this isn’t the first conflict between Barack Obama’s public statements and private policies. He bashed NAFTA on the campaign trail while intermediaries privately assured the Canadians that it was campaign rhetoric.

So what’s the truth here? Is Obama ignoring his advisers and prematurely pulling our forces from Iraq? Is he privately committed to helping Iraq while telling the anti-war crowd what they want to hear on the campaign trail?

It’s just another typical political maneuver from the nation’s most liberal senator. Senator Obama is starting to develop a credibility problem. The “Audacity of Hope” really looks like “Say anything to get elected”.

Mentally Retarded Women Used in Bombings BAGHDAD (AP) - Two mentally retarded women strapped with remote-control explosives—and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers—brought carnage Friday to two pet bazaars, killing at 73 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring.
[snip]

Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, Iraq’s chief military spokesman in Baghdad, said the women had Down syndrome and may not have known they were on suicide missions. He said the bombs were detonated by remote control.

Police said the woman wearing the bomb sold cream in the mornings at the market and was known to locals as “the crazy lady.”

As usual, not a peep from the practitioners of the Religion of Peace, the most cultured cluster from the 12^th century is quiet. Or is this their eugenics program?

Speaking of zipper mouth, no susurrations up here in Multicultural Central about the despicable habits of the al-Qaeda “freedom fighters,” that means tacit approval. Not very PC, is it?

Let me finish this post with an instructional moment, a short discourse on comparative religion: Jesus loves you. Allah wants to kill you.

Next week: Zen and the Art of Weapons Maintenance.

Festivus poles or memorial poles

Who killed all those Iraqis? Hint: It wasn’t our troops.

For those of you who like to fudge words,

• Do you support the troops but not their fighting the war?
• Do you support firemen, but not their putting out fires.
• How about police support, as long as they don’t enforce any laws?
• How should we support Hitler, since he only killed 6M, instead of 20-25M as Stalin did?
• Do you support the UN’s goal of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia? Bill Clinton did, since he prevented the Serbs from ending that war to Serbian satisfaction.
• Do you support the Janjaweeds killing of unarmed persons in Darfur? Who will stop them? Not our army, according to the mushwit liberals here, our Armed Forces are terrorists.
• Do you think we should fight Iran?

For extra credit:

Sitting at the UV Mall food court with your latte one pleasant day, when suddenly a normal member of the Religion of Peace leaps up, starts beheading mothers and kids in a dervish fashion. With whom do you wish to be sitting, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or ME. Any 14 year old going on 37 can figure this one out.

I see no upset with my first post concerning the rotters that trashed the Noble farm. Or how the gun totin’ Woodchucks lived around there and never broke a window.

How hard should we slap the 17-year-old’s wrist for that “prank?” Should he get severe time out? Ripton used to be a standing joke about the hillwilliams living up hillside. What’s living up there now changes nothing

Yeah they’re Festivus poles although the original pole was steel. I cannot speak for other former military; this is one wardog who is renaming them.

Putting lipstick on a pig, changes nothing and produces an ugly pig.

Letting this individual go to Iraq for any foreign policy work is ridiculous. He cares less about the Iraqis. His political platform of rotted wood and bent nails is “Get the troops out of Iraq.”

Rep. Peter Welch Headed To Iraq

Trip To Examine Political, Military Situation

Vermont’s U.S. Representative Peter Welch is on his way to Iraq.

Welch, a Democrat, will also travel to Jordan and Lebanon as part of the trip organized by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. [snip]

Welch left Vermont on Sunday.

Unfortunately, he plans on returning to the U.S.

A bit more levity for this season.

I consider this very correct!

Paraphrasing Kingsley Amis, inoffensive art is worthless.

Jack Murtha relieves himself, so speak, with astonishing insight into the military definition of “surge” and a revelation about the final goal of the Iraq War. 

Some interesting things are happening in Iraq.  The “surge” strategy is dramatically reducing violence in the country:

In fact, Iraqi security must be vastly improved because even the NY Times is running articles about it. 

How do Democrats respond?  We must surrender now, which is why Defeatocrats, like John Murtha, are holding up the latest defense appropriation bill:

Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee that controls defense funding, said the country owes troops “more than just a debt of gratitude. We owe them and their families a new way, a way that leads home.”

You have to hand it those Democrats.  They really know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
