Obama Abroad

Progress in Iraq was not a (Sole U.S. Military Surge Success)

Did John McCain Concieve, Create and have Joint Military Cheifs implement his Military Strategy ?

Ans: No, McCain did Not, McCain only Agreed and Voted Yes to Adding more Troops, His Often Touted (Surge) and its so called Success, In Iraq, but Not Afghanistan

Majority of the Success goes to the Collective Iraq Citizens and the Sunni's Collective in Iraq.

That could CHANGE at any MOMENT !!

look at the Length that it has taken to get to this Touch & Go Moment.

McCain said "The US Troops should Stay there Indefinitely"

"For 100 Years, a 1000 years, for as long as it takes" !!!


He then Clarifies and Follows up his statements with....

"Were still in Germany, Japan & France"

He does not Clarify by saying those Countries have Enemies All around them and CHOOSE to have our Presence there....

Key Word: CHOOSE, Meaning their CHOICE

Iraq Leaders, President & Prime Minister and the iraqi People want Us Out !!!

The Bush Government is already Downsizing Troops (5-Brigades) ahead of Schedule.

Were Withdrawing Anyway.

Bush has his Infamous "Time Horizons" and

Obama has his Timetable, Timeline and Time of Exit Strategy.


Obama has said in the past that we Needed More Troops in Afghanistan and John McCain Shot that fact DOWN !!!

Last Week Obama says send (2 Brigades) to Afghanistan and later John McCain says Send (3 Brigades)

Obama says we should have Direct Meetings with opposition Countries (Direct Diplomacy) and Now the Bush Administration, is Iniating Direct Diplomacy-talks with Iran & N. Korea.

Let John McCain have his One Moment of Solace...Thats all He'll be getting and he's Wearing that One plus he has into the GROUND !!!

McCain has Not been in Afghanistan in (2) Years and he Talks about Obama...Ha !!

McCain sure as Hell did Not back the Jim Webb Sponsored and Extensive, VA-GI Bill, that was Supported by Obama and Others, Crossing Both Political Parties and Rightly so.

McCain what a Great Veteran

PART 1 - BARACK OBAMAs FRIEND: Rashid Khalidi (Palestinian Activist)

Obamas relationship with Rashid Khalidi goes beyond conversation. Khalidis ties to Obama were first exposed by WND in February in a widely cited article.

According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the Democratic presidential hopeful befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the University. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003 while Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.

Sources at the university told World Net Daily (WND) that Khalidi and Obama lived in nearby faculty residential zones and that the two families dined together a number of times. The sources said the Obamas even babysat the Khalidi children.

Khalidi in 2000 held what was described as a successful Fundraiser for Obamas failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a fact not denied by Khalidi, who spoke to WND in February.

As WND reported, an ANTI-ISRAEL Arab group run by Khalidi's wife, Mona, received crucial funding from a Chicago nonprofit, the Woods Fund, for which Obama served as a board member with William Ayers (the notorious terrorist from infamous Weather Underground (VIDEO).
.
In 2001, the Woods Fund, which describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to Khalidis Arab American Action Network, or AAAN. The fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

Speakers at AAAN dinners and events routinely have taken an ANTI-ISRAEL line.
The group co-sponsored a Palestinian art exhibit, titled, The Subject of Palestine, that featured works related to what some Palestinians call the Nakba or catastrophe of Israels founding in 1948.

When Khalidi departed the University of Chicago in 2003, Obama delivered an in-person testimonial at a farewell ceremony reminiscing about conversations over meals prepared by Mona Khalidi.

According to a Los Angeles Times account, Obama said his talks with the Khalidis served as consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. It is for that reason that I am hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation ??? a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashids dinner table, but around THIS ENTIRE WORLD.

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/05/22/odierno-mccain-100/

Gen. Raymond Odierno will take over the Iraq Occupation after General Patraeus...fact

He told Jim Webb that the US Would Not stay in Iraq Indifinitely.

This War took enough Lives 1 Million Innocent Iraqi Citizens & Over 4,096 Honorable US Military Men & Women's Lives, Killed under false Pretenses, to get to this point and its still a Touch and Go situation.

McCain is Wrong, We will NOT stay in Iraq, even if it takes 100 Yrs or More, Iraq is NOT Germany, Japan or Korea and we will Withdraw from Iraq as we are doing Presently, so that Dispells McCain's USA Indifinite Stay in Iraq ...

Odierno responded that the end point would be when Iraq has a ???self-reliant government, a professionalized security force, and major political reconciliation. Webb asked what the U.S. presence should be if those conditions are met:

WEBB: Well, what what is the end point of the United States involvement in Iraq? Lets say that Iraq meets the conditions you just talked about. Should there be a United States military presence in Iraq?

ODIERNO: I think that???s a discussion we would have along several levels. Not only from the MNF-I command or the Central Command level and obviously our civilian leadership to decide what their policy would be in the future toward Iraq.

WEBB: Do you believe that if those conditions are met, there would be a need for the United States military in Iraq?

ODIERNO: I do not. I believe what we would want, though, is to maintain obviously military contacts as we do with many countries over the world.

Watch it:




Odiernos statement pours cold water on Sen. John McCains (R-AZ) infamous claim that the U.S. should maintain a presence in Iraq, for as much as 100 or 10,000 years. Fine with me,

McCain says,as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed.

But as Odierno said today, in the case that those conditions are met (a big if, as Max Bergmann notes), the U.S. military does not need to keep troops in the country.

Thats a very important clarification, Webb concluded.

PART 2 - BARACK OBAMAs Friend Rashid Khalidi (Palestinian Activist)

Khalidis farewell dinner was replete with ANTI-ISRAEL speakers. One, a young Palestinian American, recited a poem in Obamas presence that accused the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticized U.S. support of Israel, the Times reported: Another speaker, who reportedly talked while Obama was present, compared ZIONIST SETTLERS ON THE WEST BANK to Osama bin Laden.
ISRAEL A CONSTANT SORE.

Just last week, WND noted Obama termed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a "constant sore" in an interview just five days after Khalidi wrote an opinion piece in the Nation magazine in which he called the Palestinian question a RUNNING SORE.

In his piece, Palestine: Liberation Deferred, Khalidi suggests Israel carried out ETHNIC CLEANSING of Palestinians; writes Western powers backed Israels establishment due to guilt of the Holocaust; laments the Palestinian Authoritys stated acceptance of a Palestinian state ONLY in the WEST BANK, GAZA STRIP and EASTERN SECTIONS OF JERUSALEM; and argues ISRAEL SHOULD BE DISSOLVED and instead a bi-national, cantonal system should be set up in which Jews and Arabs reside.

During documented speeches and public events, Khalidi has called Israel an apartheid system in creation and a destructive RACIST state. He has multiple times implied support for Palestinian TERROR, calling SUICIDE BOMBINGS A RESPONSE TO ISRAELI AGGRESSION. He dedicated his 1986 book, Under Siege, to those who gave their lives in defense of the cause of Palestine and independence of Lebanon.

Critics assailed the book as excusing Palestinian terrorism and claim the dedication is in reference to the Palestine Liberation Organization, which at that time committed scores of anti-Western attacks and was labeled by the U.S. as a terrorist group SYMPATHY FOR THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE.

Speaking in a joint interview with WND and WABC radio, Khalidi was asked about his 2000 fundraiser for Obama. I was just doing my duties as a Chicago resident to help my local politician, Khalidi stated.

Khalidi said he supports OBAMA for president, because he is the only candidate who has EXPRESSED SYMPATHY FOR THE PALESTINIAN CAUSE.

Khalidi also LAUDED OBAMA FOR SAYING HE SUPPORTS TALKS WITH IRAN. If the U.S. can talk with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there is no reason it cannot talk with the Iranians. Asked about Obamas role funding the AAAN, Khalidi claimed he had never heard of the Woods Fund until it popped up on a bunch of blogs a few months ago.
He terminated the call when petitioned further about his links with Obama. (WONDER WHY?). SOURCE: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=65108

PART 1 - BARACK OBAMAS FRIENDS : William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn (Admitted Terrorists of the Weather Underground)

Obamas Relationships Stemming from his Directorship of the WOODS FUND

* Obamas Problematic Directorship at Woods Fund with WILLIAM AYERS

Barack Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Funds website.

While the Chicago Sun Times provides a laundry list of Obamas problematic relationships (Rezko, Farrakhan, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Austan Goolsbee, list goes on), none may prove more ultimately controversial than fellow Woods Fund Directors William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.

As others have mentioned, WILLIAM (BILL) AYERS and wife BERNADINE DOHRN were once notorious members of the Weather Underground, TERRORIST BOMBERS who attempted to overthrow the United State Government. http://marathonpundit.blogspot.com/2008/02/obamas-bill-ayers-problem.html

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMOtNHyejrU

Bill Ayers was Obamas (radical) mentor whom he has known since 1995. The Ayers were principals in Baracks first run for the State Senate. The Ayers hosted a Meet the Candidate dinner/meeting at the Ayers home. Not an attractive character for a President to hang out with and to not answer to what he learned from Ayers after all those years.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV_h-XwchkY

William Ayers, quoted on Sept. 11, 2001: Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon.

[Ayers and Dohrn] disappeared in 1970, after a bomb, designed to kill army officers in New Jersey, accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse, and turned themselves into authorities in 1980. They were never prosecuted for their involvement with the 25 bombings the Weather Underground claimed; charges were dropped because of improper FBI surveillance.

I DO NOT REGRET SETTING BOMBS. I feel we did not do enough, AYERS TOLD the New York Times in 2001. http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/August-2001/No-Regrets/

Ayers was a terrorist. His wife Bernardine Dohrn was a terrorist. (She knows and worked in the same law firm with Michelle Obama). Ayers has never offered one word of apology. He glories in it, thinks it is terrific. And that to me is not what I would call acceptable or mainstream behavior, said Dan Polsby, a former law professor at Northwestern who is now Dean of George Mason University Law School. If Obama takes a different view on that - well, OK, that is data about Obama.

PART 2 Woods Funds Investments (association with Radical Groups):

Setting aside Obamas relationship with William Ayers, the Board on which they served together deserves additional scrutiny. And, in fact, the Woods Funds INVESTMENTS appear to be quite problematic for Obama.

* Arab American Action Network (AAAN): Supports expanded rights for illegal aliens and was founded by anti-Israel professor Rashid Khalidi, former director of the PLO press agency and onetime moderator of PLO advisory committee.

AAAN views the United States as a nation wherein ARAB CITIZENS are routinely MALTREATED. To remedy this perceived societal injustice, the organization aims to challenge government policies that violate the civil, political and human rights OF THE ARAB American and ARAB immigrant community. Among these policies are DETENTIONS, DEPORTATIONS and OTHER ATTACKS on immigrants that result from Homeland Security measures!

AAANs hostile view of the JEWISH state is further manifest in the organizations reference to Israels creation in 1948 as Al Nakba ( The Catastrophe ).

Among the current luminaries of AAANs staff are (a) Vice President Ali Abunimah, who maintains the website ElectroicIntifada.com and is a Board member of the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, and (b) Executive Director Hatem Abudayyeh, who has condemned the Israeli government and its military killing machine.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Radical Quaker organization that supports Americas unilateral disarmament (and that backed) the Vietnamese Communists, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, and the PLO.

In fact, AFSC recently formed a partnership with MEChA. MEChA is one of several groups that intend to reclaim Aztlán (the southwestern portion of the United States):
The AFSC is a Chicana and Chicano student movement directly linked to Aztlán. As Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán, they say they are a nationalist movement of Indigenous Gente that LAY CLAIM TO THE LAND THAT IS OURS BY BIRTHRIGHT. As a nationalist movement we seek to free our people from the exploitation of an oppressive society that occupies our land. Put simply, MEChA's mission is straightforward. To overthrow the United States Government and establish a new form of government.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
SUMMARY

Put very simply, Obama must explain not only his relationship to Ayers and Dohrn, but also his SUPPORT OF RADICAL GROUPS that support the overthrow of the United States Government. The MainStreamMedia is doing us a huge disservice not focusing more on his past and fully vetting him.

Jeremiah Wright did NOT say anything Racist, it was Dissention in Opposition of Current & Past US Admniistrations....

Had he said "God Damn America" that is TRUE, Wright did say that...

But he Did NOT say "God Damn White America"

Had Wright said ..."God Damn White America" now that would be "Racism & Racist"

He was Indicting the Bush Administartion and Current government, which is Comprised of Every Race, Religion & Political Party.


So You ParaNoid Racist, looking for an Angle of Branding Michelle Obama as Racist...

When she said "For the 1st time in my Adult Life, I'm Proud to be an American" are Dead Wrong !!

Are any of YOU PROUD of the the KKK and it's 1000's of Black American Lynchings, with Post Cards sold and used Showing the Brutal Mistreament of Black Americans, Church Bombings, Barring Black Americans from playing MLB, like Jackie Robinson and satchell Page, as well as Others Black Americans, U.S. Southern Jim Crow Laws, Depriving Black Americans the Right to Vote, in a Free Voting Democracy, in the land of the Free and the Brave, are you Proud of the Dixiecrats and the Republican Party welcoming them into their Party, without reservation, knowing what that party stood for !!! Or the U.S. Segregated Miltary Troops, although these Black Americans have Fought and Died in Every War this country has ever participated in, also Viet Nam, The Korean War and The Branch Davidian Killings in Texas, The Assanations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, Malcolm X and Marti L. King Jr.....

Are Any of You Proud of that America ?


Then I Guess John McCain must be Anti-American also, when he said...

"I Never Loved America, until I was Deprived of her Company"

You can Find Racism, Especially when you are a Bonafide "Racist"

Many of us who live in the USA feel much the same. It has been over six years since that small band of terrorists attacked the World Trade Centers, and our country has never been the same since. Our land of freedom and good will has become a land of suspicion and fear. It seems like the terrorists won. They planted the seed of fear in the hearts of our people. Our people allowed that seed to blossom into paranoia, then chose weak leaders willing to sacrifice our sacred freedoms in the name of security. Immediately after the 911 attack, people began to attach US flags on their cars. They pasted small signs on their window and auto bumpers with sayings like, "united we stand", "we shall never forget" and "God bless America". We call this "bumper sticker patriotism". These same people cowered at home, afraid to fly in any airplane, terrified of another attack. They became suspicious of all strangers. Our opportunistic politicians promised to restore our security by enacting precautionary laws and regulations. Slowly, they robbed us of our essential freedoms, all in the name of protection. Anyone who spoke against them was labeled a coward, a traitor or a fool.
I do not despair. Democracy has a resiliency that allows it to heal itself given enough time. The people of the USA are already beginning to awaken. They realize that our leaders have eroded our basic freedoms in the name of security, and they do not like it. Our last election was a beacon of hope. Many of the conservative exploiters of fear were removed from office. Slowly, our politicians are beginning to restore our cherished freedoms.
We are not a people who believe in aggression, in torture or in the violation of human rights. The foundation of our government is based on "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". We were once the beacon of hope for oppressed people in other lands and we want to gain that title back. Most of us can see that we erred in allowing our freedom to be sacrificed so cheaply. I think we will fight to restore it. Our courage is slowly returning .

Ja ist Herr, Obama amerikanischer Wahrer Oberbefehlshaber

JA KÖNNEN WIR OBAMA 08

This is hilarious....
Couric: But talking microcosmically, did the surge, the addition of 30,000 additional troops ... help the situation in Iraq?

Obama: Katie, as ??? you've asked me three different times, and I have said repeatedly that there is no doubt that our troops helped to reduce violence. There's no doubt.

Couric: And I really don't mean to belabor this, Senator, because I'm really, I'm trying ??? to figure out your position. Do you think the level of security in Iraq ???

Obama: Yes.

Couric ??? would exist today without the surge?

Obama: Katie, I have no idea what would have happened had we applied my approach, which was to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation. So this is all hypotheticals. What I can say is that there's no doubt that our U.S. troops have contributed to a reduction of violence in Iraq. I said that-- not just today, not just yesterday, but I've said that-- previously.
