I disagree with “we were along for the ride”. Factually, we did the ripping. We destroyed a viable, functioning country under the pretext of saving it.

However, as Powell said, once we broke it, it is up to us to fix it. No easy task, yet the morally correct one.

As such, the surge is the closest we have come to bringing stability. How well it will continue remains to be seen. As of now, though the situation is tenuous, both civilian and military casualties are down and previously unstable regions like Kirkuk to the north, and Basra to the south are enjoying comparably stable day to day life.

Such could change tomorrow. However, what is being done is the best we can do for now. Those who say just leave, or leave in X number of months are delusional.

Logistics will dictate when we can leave, along with the question of “will we be allowed to leave”. Unless “we are allowed to leave”, we will see the bloodiest mess we have seen since the early stages.

Getting out is a hell of alot harder than getting in, and so far I have not seen one detail, or proposal, as to how we will accomplish such. Until I do see such from all, or any of, the “get-out drumbeaters”, I can only assume that they are blowing smoke, and engaging in irresponsible, wishful thinking.

he can’t make promises, this is no more than a photo op, and no he doesn’t speak for america and hasn’t been authorized to.

a fake plane, a fake press corp which he bought to go with him, controlling demonstrations, questions, dress code–now that sounds like Bush to me.

Obama–the petty tyrant faker fairy tale liar masquerading as senator, with no core values. its all about him.

you are a fool, kellie. and laughable. no pity for your willful ignorance and stupidity.

This is why parents don’t let children choose Presidents.

Why all the hate?

Axelrod not paying you enough attention.

We’re about love and understanding here.

Obama is a danger to our country, to the constitution, and to our national security. He is a reckless egomaniac who thinks he knows everything.

when you call life long democrats republicans, you just show yourself as young, naive, uneducated, starry-eyed, ignorant, uncritical and just plain stupid. You think you can insult your way around, be a thug, and get people to vote for your fake plastic jesus.

so just get over it. many democrats don’t like obambi because he is a fake and unqualified.

you are in for a rude awakening.

keep dreaming that fairy tale.

so go bury your fairy tale somewhere else.

THAT would indeed be impressive, if so!!!!!

Dobermans are awesome. They would eat Ubermann for lunch.

Even mini-dobermans (dachshunds) would.
