Only in America....

Note: John McCain has yet to get the Military Endorsement from General Patraeus, to this day and was told by Patraeus's Staf, "To Stop, Using his Pictures and Images in McCain's Campaign"

Yet Another Glaring & Glowing Fact about Mr. "I Know How to Win Wars" John McCain

What Successful wars, has McCain Ever been a part of and what Military Strategies has McCain Concieved, Created and the Joint Military Staffs Implemented and Aplied in any Successful War(s)

Ans: NONE !!!!

So Much for John McCain's "Military Experience" when the Bulk of McCain's Military Experience was spent as a Prisoner Of war in Viet Nam...

Thats what Wesley Clark was talking about and its ....TRUE !!!

So much for McCain's Military Know How and Experience in Winning Wars !!!

What a Joke and he's Counting on the Simple Minds that look at his Military Uniform and won't think to QUESTION his Military Records and History.

Go Vote for "Citizen Cane", Er Um, The "Real Manchurian Candidate"...

I Mean Senator John McCain...Your Strong Steadfast and True Military Patriot !!

Another article from the Newseek bureau of the Obama campaign. What a lovely face to put on Obama lack of experience and outright screw ups on forgiegn policy. Now that the surge has worked and we have essentially won in Iraq Obama is, what is he doing? He's either refining his position, or steadfastly sticking to declaring defeat in Iraq and planning to give it back to Al Qaeda. I guess we'll have a better idea after/if he's elected. And his idea of foriegn policy is to cozy up and have a chat with the worst dictators and terrorists in the world including Iran where they deny the holocaust and almost daily threaten to wipe Israel off the map. Oh, and lets not foget that other gem of an idea... that he's never repudiated....he wants to declare defeat in the face of victory in Iran so he can move from that sideshow, with the most strategic geography in the middle east and oil, to Afghanistan where he will pressure/provoke nuclear armed Pakistan to do more in the war on terror. Oh and what is Obama's guiding philosophy in foriegn policy. Getting the rest of the world to like us again. I think Americans should remember that we were at the all time high point in the like/sympathize regard after 9/11. I think its best to remember that the rest of the world liked us best the day after 3000 Americans were murdered, our economy shaken, and the twin towers a smoldering heep. A recent poll in Israel shows that they are the only country that overwhelmingly prefers John McCain. They know that the existance of Israel and their very lives can be at stake in American elections. So why do you think they want McCain? We've seen Obama's foriegn policy before with Jimmy Carter. We now how that turned out......hostages and total humilation. American has a clear choice. An American hero and experienced strong leader, Or we can have Jimmy Obama II and get the French to like us again?

One More time.....

So much for John McCain's "Military Experience"

That Experience is going to be put to the TEST in November...Wheres the Experience John...

How many LIVES in Viet Nam, did you SAVE...War Heroe...

How much Classified Information, did you Devulge, to the Viet Cong... John

George W. Bush Jr. what Military Experience did he have or did he Ever have ?

None

What National-International Experience did George W. Bush Jr. have prior to becoming President of the USA ?

None

Unless you Include being a Bush Jr. being a Texas Governor for 4 years, as National-International Experience, when all he had was (State-Regional Experience), just like Clinton, and Carter.

Obama sits on the Senate Foriegn Relations Commitee (International Experience) and he has (National Experience) Obama is a Senator.

Things that make you go....Hmmmmm

The fact that Obama's Realpolitik seems to have convinced even George Bush shows the practical side of his ideas. Obama said we must talk to Iran, McCain opposes it, Bush does it. Obama says we must increase troops in Afghanistan, McCain opposes it, Bush does it. Obama says we must have a panned Iraq withdrawal, McCain opposes it, Bush does it.

Fareed Iam afraid that you have missed the boat. Stating that Senator Obama is a realist while McCain is a moralist.

Facts:
PKK over 30,000 killed and still no home land to call Kurdistan.
ETA over 5,000 killed and still no Basa country.
IRA over 5,000 killed and Nothern Ireland is still not joined with Ireland.
Timil Tigers over 50,000 killed and still part of Sir Lanka.
Hamas over 4,000 killed and still not a country as they only accept the removal of Israel.
Shi'ite versus Sunni over 100,000 killed - fighting over 1400 years.
Muslims in Thailand over 5,000 killed as they want control of the southern part of Thailand.
Muslims in Philippines over 5,000 killed wanting control of the islands which belongs to the government.

I think if you stop and look it over very carefully you will find there is a moral point to all of these. These groups want land, power of control and will kill anyone that gets in their way regardless. These are people who do not worry about rights of others, only what they want. So do all these countries stop fighting against these people and give them what they want without regard to their citizens? I think not? Can Senator Obama as President get these people to lay down their weapons and join in a political process? I think not as it has been tried already by various governments and Peace Negiotiators.

President Bush's so called "General Time Horizon" Eyed For Troop Cuts
in Iraq

General Timeline: Bush calls his a "General Time Horizon" what a Joke !!!

Its a set time of Withdrawal.....Man Oh Man Oh Man !!!

Like Obama has said !!

CBS/ AP) The United States and Iraq have agreed to seek "a General Time Horizon" for deeper reductions in American combat troops in Iraq.

AKA a General Timeline



Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki talked about the timing issue as part of discussions over a broader security agreement to keep American troops in Iraq after a U.N. mandate expires on Dec. 31.

The White House says the two leaders, in a conversation on Thursday, agreed that the accord should include a "General Time Horizon" for meeting aspirational goals, such as the resumption of Iraqi security control in their cities and provinces and the further reduction of U.S. combat forces from Iraq."

Iraq has proposed requiring U.S. forces to fully withdraw 5 years after the Iraqis take the lead on security nationwide - though that precondition could take years to meet.

Earlier this month, Iraq's national security adviser, Mouwaffak al-Rubaie, said Baghdad would not accept any security deal unless it contains specific DATES for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces. Al-Maliki also has said he expects the pending troop deal with the United States to have some type of timetable for withdrawal.



Note: "I won't go so far as to say that progress in Iraq from a Military Perspective has reached a Tipping Point or is Irreversible, it has not, and it is not," Mullen said. "But security is unquestionably and remarkably better. Indeed, if these trends continue I expect to be able early this fall to recommend to the secretary and the president further troop reductions."

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said officials are looking for ways to send additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan this year. A cutback in Iraq could clear the way for more troops to go to Afghanistan.

The White House statement said the reduction in U.S. forces in Iraq was "a testament to the improving capacity of Iraq's Security Forces and the success of joint operations that were initiated under the new strategy put in place by the president and the prime minister in January 2007."

I have my own Spiritual Beliefs and it does not include Christianity, Judasim or Islam....

Those 3 Religions are the Bane of Human Existence.

God does not Favor one Human over another....

Man, Humans do favor others ....

Might makes Right and the Meek & Mild will Never, Ever Inherit the Earth, it has Never Ever Occured in Human History...

Might Makes Right, thats the Nuts & Bolts of Life...

Man does no speak for God, yet God is Used to Justify Mass Murder & Mayhem, all over the World, in his Name....

When God has Absolutely Nothing to do with Man's lust for Power & Carnage...

Like the Over 1 Million Innocent Iraqi Citizen and Over 4,095 Honorable US Soldiers, 1000's of US Soldiers Permanently Injured, Multiple Suicides, Attempted Suicides and US Soldiers Injured by Self Inflicted Wounds.

Take your Dumb A## Ove to Iraq & Afghanistan and Lay your Worthless Life on the line, You Faux, Sideline Cheerleading Patriot.

All Patriotic Bravado, with No Action Slacker !!!


Admit you Fear a Bi-Racial Man like Barack, But have No Fear of those Maniacs Bush, Cheney or Rice.

By the way, Your Faux Viet Nam Vet McCain, has not been in War Torn Afghanistan in 2 Years...

Yet h claims he wants to send 3 Brigades after Obama beat him to the Punch, by saying he wanted 2 Brigades in Afghanistan.

McCan is a Numb Skull, like You, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Liberman and Cheney...

I Rest my Case

Obama is neither Optimistic Realist nor Realistic Optimist nor naive. He is an Opportunist. He will seize any opportunity to promote himself. He will change his position when he sees gain. He has no problem switching if not flip-flopping. He is also a manipulator, an illusionist. Obama praises George Bush's foreign policy? Does he mean Condolezza Rice? I would rather call him Dualistic Opportunist. He is not at the center but he would zigzagging left-right around the center just to cover his tracks. Obama is White-Black, Left-Right, Socialist-Millionaire, Christian-Mohammedian, etc...It seems he has problem to keep anything in one principle. In short he lacks integrity.

What are you doing, Zakaria? Running for one of Obama's cabinet posts? Or maybe you want to be Michelle's hair dresser? Newsweek has no credibility -- just Obama supporters in drag.

NancyPelosi tells President Bush Jr. and USA Oil Barons on Oil Leased Land, "To Use it Or Lose It"

That is to say, use the already allocated (38 Million OffShore Acres) and the already existing (68 Million Acres of Land in the 48 States) or give it back and start new leased land and coastal land agreements.

Anyway, the Oil Drilled now, will not be available until 10-15 or 20 Years from now and will save the USA populus about 6 cents on the gallon. Not to mention, that Oil would go to Market first and the Drilling will Not cause the Price of oil to go down and Bush should use 10% of the Reserved Oil, that we have, in order to See an Price Dive ....

Sorry

RIFY: Read It For...Yourselves

Nancy Pelosi, said the oil industry is not Aggressively Exploring Large Amounts of Federal areas already leased to them and Approved for Drilling, Including (33 Million Offshore Acres) and (68 Million Acres In the Lower 48 States).

She has sponsored legislation calling on oil companies to increase their production in those areas before they are allowed to go into the offshore areas currently banned.

"Thirty-three million acres offshore are allowed for leasing," she said. "And we're saying to them, use it or lose it. You have the opportunity to drill there. When you have exhausted those remedies, then you can talk about something else."

She's also calling on the president to release 10 percent of the more than 700 million barrels of oil housed in the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Bush said Tuesday that he is against any release from the reserve, saying that stash is for emergencies only. He also disputed that it would have any effect on lowering gas prices.

"What we are saying is, Mr. President, free our oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve," Pelosi said. "We're saying, let's take 10 percent of that, which has been paid for by the American taxpayer, and use that to put on the market so that we increase supply, reduce price."

"And when the price comes down, we can buy back the oil at a lower price, put it in the SPR, use the spread for renewable energy resources."

The House speaker has faced heavy criticism from House Republican leader John Boehner, who is leading a congressional delegation to ANWR this weekend and has said Pelosi's action does not adequately address the problem.


He's also said Pelosi is leading the moderate faction of her party "off a cliff" by refusing to allow a vote in the House on offshore drilling.

"Just because John Boehner, who is my friend, has my respect, says it doesn't make it so," she responded, reiterating that she will block any vote to allow lifting the ban.
