#15  Sorry to confuse you Abu, the rant was a cynical gesture.

#14  #2 49 Pan - I think you may have Obamaslammajamma mixed up with somebody else. To the best of my knowledge he has no military experience. OTOH, fellow cut & runner Chuck Hagel (RINO-5th Column) is a Vietnam veteran.

#13  I can understand your confusion. This guy is a ringer for a Minnesota liberal.

#12  Mike: So sorry. From the same mold and all that.
I will go stand in a corner and/or hand out towels on the gurls locker room downtown to repent.

#11  This is the realm Obama, Osama, Come on pretty mama. All the "moderate" crap is simply campaign fluff. His voting record is that of an ultraliberal.

Either way, enjoy your selection Minnesota.

#8  personally i doubt its about the money.

It puts Hilary very much on the spot. To the Dem left, this says "Obama is a man of conviction, who stands up for what he beleives, while Hilary evades the question" The Dem center, which isnt particularly drawn to this, is not likely to react hard, having largely lost heart on Iraq. The few residual Dem Iraq-Hawks werent gonna go for Obama anyway. So its all gain, and little loss.

#7  Senator Obama offered this bill in return for several million in campaign contributions from Hollywood leftists.

He is a bought man.

#6  It's too bad because a politician in his position could have really pushed for the "vietnamization" of Iraq in a way that the left might have listened to.

#5  Osama Barak.

#4  No he's just trading in the lives and blood of american soldiers and their familes, as well as Iraqi's for his own political career.

Its an old Democratic Party Tradition. See what happened to South Vietnam, Cambodia, etc...

#2  With all his years of military service, his total understanding of what this would do to the US on the political stage, and how it would allow an insurgent driven civil war to turn into wholesale slaughter I can only say he is either a total moron or a subversive traitor. You decide.
