| Obama takes aim at McCain on Iraq |
| 2008-04-01 |
| Democrat Barack Obama took aim on Monday at potential White House opponent John McCain on Iraq, saying the Republican senator could not offer a clear definition of success in the conflict and could leave U.S. combat troops there for decades. Obama looked past Democratic rival Hillary Clinton ahead of their showdown in Pennsylvania on April 22 and trained his fire on McCain, who has clinched the Republican nomination and will face the Democratic winner in November's election. Obama said the Arizona senator shared a vision of Iraq with President George W. Bush and had not spelled out how the United States would be able to end its military involvement there. "The problem that we've had, both with John McCain and George Bush, is there's no clear definition of success. There never was. And that's why this has been such a profound strategic error," Obama, an Illinois senator, told reporters while campaigning in Pennsylvania. |

| #7 Obama said the Arizona senator shared a vision of Iraq What frightens me more is this ass clown's "shared vision" of America with the reverend Wright. |

| #6 Why do these dhimmicrats always want to pull out or surrender or appease or talk something to death? a) Because that's where the money is? b) Because of who's running the Party? |

| #5 Obama's game here is to associate McCain with Bush in any way possible. |

| #4 Barack has offered a clear cut plan for surrender of the mideast, capitualtion, certain escalation of violence, and failure. WWII did not have a clear cut stop date. We were in it to win and it would not stop until we won or were dead. Our wanna-be leaders are so wishy washy and namby pamby these days. All they can do is run against something--to be opposed to something even though it might be success. Why do these dhimmicrats always want to pull out or surrender or appease or talk something to death? |

| #3 Obama said the Arizona senator shared a vision of Iraq with President George W. Bush and had not spelled out how the United States would be able to end its military involvement there. Could somebody check the veracity of this statement, he may be lying again. I can tell when he's lying...his lips are moving. |

| #2 So Barack where's your withdraw plan for Japan, Germany, and South Korea? How about starting someplace that doesn't need American troops first. |

| #1 Democrat Barack Obama took aim on Monday at potential White House opponent John McCain on Iraq, saying the Republican senator could not offer a clear definition of success in the conflict... ... offering in its place, Obama's crystal clear plan for failure. |
