US Wins War In Iraq

Prime Minister Maliki says that after being wrong for more than 3 years, Barack Obama may finally be right. It may finally be time to talk about a timetable for US troop withdrawals. This is like a stock analyst telling you to but as you head into a recession. Eventually it will be time to buy, but claiming it was his plan to buy when the timing was right is a intellectually vacant. Lord Barack Hussein Obama wanted to surrender and lose, insisting that victory wasn't possible. Claiming that he has the exit strategy after victory is at hand is the behavior of the backstabbing corporate ass-kisser that takes credit for the successes of others while being invisible during the dark hours when the fight was on and the outcome was a lot less certain.

What isn't said in this article is that Maliki is pandering to opposition forces that uses allegations of US oppression to stir up public sentiment against US forces. There is no doubt that Maliki would like US troops out eventually, but Maliki knows that if they leave too early he's going to get the same treatment that Saddam got. Mookie al-Sadr and others would love to turn Iraq into a Iran Clone.

Speigel is a left wing publication that would love to see Obama win. That's why this story is spun as Barack the Brilliant instead of Obama the Clueless.

Democrats have been calling for withdrawal for nearly 5 years. It's finally approaching that time. Giving them credit for being right is stupid.

Willfully Suspend Disbelief

Iraqis lead final purge of Al-Qaeda
Marie Colvin in Mosul

American and Iraqi forces are driving Al-Qaeda in Iraq out of its last redoubt in the north of the country in the culmination of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror.

After being forced from its strongholds in the west and centre of Iraq in the past two years, Al-Qaeda’s dwindling band of fighters has made a defiant “last stand” in the northern city of Mosul.

A huge operation to crush the 1,200 fighters who remained from a terrorist force once estimated at more than 12,000 began on May 10.

Now where is the constitutionally protected press when you need them? Where is the tireless ridicule of all the liberals that got it wrong? Hey ANSWER, Code Pink, MoveOn.org, we're laughing at you. In war, the will to win (also known as guts) is the key. Yes, we could have won in Viet Nam but there weren't enough democrats with guts. This time it only took one Republican.

So Mrs Clinton, have you suspended your disbelief yet?

Questions for the Uniter

Dear Mr. Obama,

You remind me of President Lincoln, but I’ll get to that part later.

That recent sound bite about energy policy was really frightening. Are you really so ignorant of economics as to think that increasing oil supply will not bring down prices? You said we can not drill our way out of this shortage. Are you really that stupid? I hate to think so. I realize the environmental nut jobs want you to say things like that, but I thought you were supposed to be different. You are supposed to be the one to unite us with the truth.
Supply and demand are not negotiable. If there is any truly demonstrable lesson of the 20th Century, it is that politically managed economies do not prosper. Ten years ago oil was one tenth the price it is today. Supply has been fairly constant but demand is way up and still rising. There are only two choices. Drill now and drill hard and ramp capacity just as fast as we can or slide into global recession. If you are not willing to see this, then your tuition at Harvard was a waste of money. It has been said that a liberal can't think his way out of ignorance. I refuse to believe it. Thinking and drilling have a lot in common.
Next, I was wondering what plan you have to curb the violence in our inner cities. So far I see that liberals have tried to solve the problems by throwing money at them for years. I also see that banning guns doesn’t make a lick of difference either. By a large statistical margin, if there is a murder in the United States, it was perpetrated by a person of color on another person of color. I refuse to believe that white people are too stupid to get weapons so I think it must be something that we are teaching or failing to teach people of color that is the problem. I think it would be highly disingenuous of you to suggest that it is racism that causes this since you seem to have learned the behaviors of success.
It is heartbreaking that so many young men of color find themselves in prison, but do you really think that they are innocent victims of the system? Maybe you could be the leader that saddles the blame for black on black crime on the perpetrators and the impolite and violent thug culture that produced them. Could you be the man that starts the process of holding African-Americans responsible for their own failures.
I heard a statement that you tried to make a moral connection between manmade global warming and sin. Do you really believe in God? Do you really believe that God would let us destroy this planet and the entire human race? Do you think that God would be disappointed if we did? So do you think God wants the human race to survive and prosper? … Then why do you support abortion on demand? If you are going to argue that environmental damage is an affront to God but you think that human life is unimportant to God, that seems to be blatant hypocrisy.
What’s up with that posse you run with? A convicted terrorist, a real-estate hustler, an Anti-American preacher or two, and an angry wife with a big chip on her shoulder about all the oppression she suffered while getting her ivy-league education and 6 figure jobs in corporate America. I’ll tell you, they don’t make you look good and they don’t sell your message of being a uniter very well. They scare me. America doesn’t need a lot of change. We need to stop making good food into stupid fuel. That will go a long way toward helping our image in the world. Also, if you and your friends would stop telling us how awful we are, that would probably help improve our image in the world. I notice that you spend a lot of time telling the country how wonderful you are. How about spending some time telling the world how wonderful America is? When I hear you run down the country, I have to wonder why you would want to be the leader of such an awful, hopeless place.

Oh yeah, you remind me of President Lincoln. He said “You can fool some of the people all of the time.” Yep, you got quite a crowd there.

Thanks for your time.
