“All of our top military commanders recognize that there is no military solution in Iraq. No military surge can succeed without political reconciliation and a surge of diplomacy in Iraq and the region. Iraq’s leaders are not reconciling. They are not achieving political benchmarks. The only thing they seem to have agreed on is to take a vacation.“
Barack Obama
Explaining Why the Surge Will Fail
August 22, 2007
Today antiwar candidate Barack Obama traveled to Ramadi, Iraq.
He sat with Sheik Ahmed Abu Risha, whose younger brother Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha, a leader of a Sunni revolt against al-Qaida in Iraq who was murdered by Al-Qaeda in September 2007.
Some vacation.
(WTF? IS HE SPITTING BACK THE DRINK?)
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama drinks tea during his visit to the governor’s headquarters in Anbar province July 22, 2008. Obama travelled to Iraq’s Anbar on Tuesday to meet Sunni Arab tribal leaders whose decision to fight al Qaeda helped change the course of the conflict in the country.

I just heard the idiot Obama speak in Iraq. He says or believes we need to bring some brigades out of Iraq to put ion the Afi Paki border . What ? like Iraq is the only place we can get troops from to deploy to Afi? What we do not have any stateside to send ? Then he still wants an insane National Civilian Security Force as well ?
Also we need to let our troops go into Paki. You idiot Barrack. We sent some cruise missiles in last mo. and they really did not like it. All right Mr. Fukin Brilliant Military strategist Barack let’s say we go into Paki with Paki permission. Well with all the fuking advertising to A Q and Taliban fighters what makes you think they will be there by the time we move in on them. They’ll go some where else they could care less about boarders. Maybe they’ll run north into Chechnya then hid in Iran for a while . Then if you draw down to much in Iraq they’ll end up there again.
Come on a sixth grader could figure that out or any half ass chess players.
Barrack has the Audacity to say he sees the big picture and Gen. Petraus was good on the ground in Iraq. Barracks Big Vision has got to be intentional destruction because no one is that stupid.. Hey Barrack bring me back some Afghani Opium to calm me and others down because you are driving all the sane people in this country crazy.
