Obama for President

Cranium, that link is so presumptious it is ridiculous.  He had a business dealing with Rezko, rezko is syrian, but wait so is Hamas, so Obama will give Hamas Israel, WHAAAAT?  That article makes you and anyone else who buys that a complete moron.  He made 100,000 off of the deal so that hundred grand will dictate all of Barack's foreign policy, and to get to that logical part, you must accept that bc Rezko is Syrian, he is a member of Hamas.  This is just retarded and laughable, I hope 99% of America is smarter than you, bc every time you open your mouth i laugh. 

Quick fact, 100,000 dollars is approximately .07% of his total revenue, so lets not even act like Obama has to help this guy out once in the white house.  This isnt the great funds collected by Repubs from PACs that make up over half of their funding.  While that venture looked a little suspect, it has nothing to do with Hamas or Rezko's interests in this campaign, and to make that jump is a pretty huge step.  Obama has been funded by small donations from supporters, and that is a fact.  This wasnt even a contribution its a part of profit breaking in a business transaction, find something relevant.

This just in, McCain took out some land with a chechen in a busniness venture, so since McCain made money in this deal, he must be willing to give chechen terrorists a larger chunk of land in Russia when he is president.   GREAT LOGIC

SURRENDERCRATS

In 2002 the vast majority of Democrats voted to authorize the use of military force in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region>

and Senators Kerry, Clinton, Kennedy and many other Congressional Democrats made impassioned speeches warning of the “real and grave threat to our security” that we face from Saddam Hussein if the “deadly arsenal of WMD in his hands” is not disarmed. Al Gore vouched for the “secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.” Soon after the Gulf War II began, and the first operation ended with the triumphant march into <st1:city w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Baghdad</st1:place> </st1:city> , Democrats joined in bipartisan unity celebrating the toppling of Saddam Hussein’s brutal regime. However, the pro-war strategy of the Democratic Party soon made a U-turn, as a little known governor, Howard Dean unexpectedly captured the spotlight in the 2004 presidential campaign becoming the Democratic frontrunner as he galvanized the antiwar crowd into a frenzy of Bush hatred and blame <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> America</st1:place> </st1:country-region> rhetoric.

The Democratic sea change was not prompted by any fact on the ground in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> .

 It was the Dean campaign channeling the mounting rage of antiwar radicals into a political movement of vehement opposition to the War in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> and the Patriot Act, which triggered the sudden change in Democratic strategy to oppose the war and brand the President a liar and a traitor. Presidential candidates Kerry and Edwards abruptly changed their positions on the war, and the balance of the Democratic leadership vied with one another to show off their new found antiwar credentials.

The Democratic Party crossed the line from mere opposition to undermining a war in progress.

They divided the nation in a time of war and emboldened an enemy by proclaiming from the highest offices of our Capitol that President Bush deceived the American people by sending their sons and daughters to die fighting an unjust, unnecessary war for political gain. The antiwar chorus of the 2004 presidential contenders and Democratic leadership thundered to a climax as they vied for the $ millions offered by MoveOn.org, and George Soros and his vast cabal of radical 527 organizations, which deem that America is the enemy.

Senator Kennedy called the war “a catastrophic failure,” and a deliberate fraud telling the press: "There was no imminent threat. This was made up in <st1:state w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Texas</st1:place> </st1:state> , announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically.” Kerry attacked the President declaring that “he misled every one of us.”   Gore who lost the presidency in 2000 blasted Bush at a Democratic rally for “betraying the nation” by taking us into a war “that was preordained and planned before 9-11.”   Rep. John Murtha accused the Marines of killing innocent Iraqis in cold blood. <o:p> </o:p>

The deafening chorus of defeat and surrender has continued unabated up until the present day turning a deaf ear to the news of progress on the ground due to the recent successes of the troop surge and defeat of al Qaeda in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> (AQI).

 Still they continue to declare the war unwinnable, illegal and a failure. Senator Edwards called the War on Terror a “bumper sticker slogan” and candidates

Clinton and Obama relentlessly call for a premature withdrawal, oblivious to the glowing reports of victories.

General David Petraeus returned from <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> April 8th to face a hostile reception on Capitol Hill. He delivered a sterling presentation on the growing cooperation of Sunni tribes, the Iraqi people’s desire for freedom, growth of the Iraqi security forces by 100,000 in the past year, sectarian violence down 70% throughout the country since June, decimation of al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and Iraq’s Shia Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki finally confronting the Shia militias in Basra trained, funded, and armed by Iran, which had been waiting to explode into mayhem since the recent precipitous withdrawal of British coalition troops.

The bloodshed in <st1:city w:st="on"> Basra</st1:city> is a preview of greater atrocities to come should <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> U.S.</st1:place> </st1:country-region> forces stage a premature withdrawal as advocated by the Democrats.  Petraeus cautioned against such a move saying that the victories are “fragile and reversible” and AQI would rush in to fill the void of a hasty withdrawal should the Democrats prevail.

General Petraeus reported the heartening news of the Anbar Awakening movement which started in the terror capitals of Fallujah and Ramadi and is now spreading throughout the country. A year ago these cities were the most violent places in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> . But today the overwhelming majority of residents and Sunni sheikhs renounced their allegiance to AQI and have “now aligned themselves with the Marines and the American-backed city government” realizing that “<st1:country-region w:st="on"> America</st1:country-region> is the lesser of evils,” writes <st1:place w:st="on"> Middle East</st1:place> reporter, Michael Totten in City Journal.   

The insurgency arose in Fallujah in 2004 after a violent mob mutilated four Blackwater security contractors. <st1:country-region w:st="on"> U.S.</st1:country-region> troops launched an assault but quickly retreated, fearing Iraqis would perceive <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> America</st1:place> </st1:country-region> as oppressive occupiers and violence would spread. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and his band of foreign terrorists, al Qaeda in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> triumphantly marched in and were welcomed as liberators from the American “occupiers”. But instead of liberating, they seized power in order to establish the Islamic State of Iraq, and imposed Taliban-style rule more oppressive than anything Fallujans had ever encountered. Three years later, Fallujans had had enough and allied themselves with the hated Americans and eventually every tribal sheikh in Anbar came over to the American side. The Anbar Awakening coincided with the troop surge and General Petraeus’s strategy shift to aggressive counterinsurgency operations. Marines are now embedded in Fallujah’s communities, living, eating, studying and patrolling together with the Fallujan security forces. It is apparent that the war is being won in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> by our brave men and women soldiers in the United States Military. But the war on the home front that has divided our nation, sabotaged the war effort and undermined our Commander in Chief and <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> America</st1:place> </st1:country-region> ’s moral, rages on and on. These are the great battles to be fought here on the home front by American patriots who dare to challenge the conventional wisdom that the war in <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> has been lost. This is our challenge to the Democratic Party – the Party of Defeat.

AQI is on the run, normalcy has been restored to Fallujah, violence is virtually nonexistent, and this successful model is being duplicated throughout much of <st1:country-region w:st="on"> <st1:place w:st="on"> Iraq</st1:place> </st1:country-region> .

Ron Paul supporters are the only people who are truly awake. The real "nuts" are the ones who won't accept the truth.

ok im tired of listening to carolina and mpo bash america. so heres my solution to you. if you dont like it, pick up the 2 boxes you have and move to mexico. im pretty sure they will be more than happy to let you in. otherwise, sit there and shut the f**k up. you people dont know anything about politics or how the country works, hence supporting obama. bring some rational thoughts to the table or dont talk.

Correct Papa, we are fighting Islamic militants that are being trained in Iran and are predominantly Shia.  I ask you then, were shia militias ever  involved in global terrorism, and how many Americans were killed by them before Iraq.  I would contend that almost any country that is invaded would have militants that attack the US troops, that is just part of an invasion and occupation.  I challenge you to explain why we are better off in Iraq than in concentrating on strongholds of predominantly sunni militants, that have and will attack the west on their own soils.  They are the ones who have their plans foiled and are spreading the ideas of suicide bombing the "enemy" to western muslims, they are the movement, not SHia militants that have been waiting for some dumba__ to overthrow their only barrier to chaos in Saddam.  I dont give a shit who AL Qaeda said they would vote for, and the fact that you believe them, if they said it, is more laughable than anything.  So now your letting Al Qaeda dictate your vote, looks like you just got a little reverse psychology used on you.

Osama has said on more than one occasion, that an occupation in the middle east is getting the Americans right where they will suffer most, in their wallets.  Overall, i dont think that the Shias were or are 10% of the threat to AMericans by terrorists, and the facts prove it.  Sunnis and AL Qaeda have done all of the damage in NYC and Spain, and that is who i care about, you can lump them all together, thats fine, its just shortsighted to think they are the exact same.  Lets go to Chechnya next, they have Islamic terrorists, are they the same?  That logic you used would justify the occupation of a whole lot of countries, I think you may want to be more precise.  There is a reason that the admin tries to lump Al Qaeda and Iraq so vigorously, bc without them it makes next to no sense, but carry on Im beyond trying to change minds, just want to give you something to think about.

In 2002 the vast majority of Democrats voted to authorize the use of military force in Iraq.

The Democratic sea change was not prompted by any fact on the ground in Iraq.

The deafening chorus of defeat and surrender has continued unabated up until the present day turning a deaf ear to the news of progress on the ground due to the recent successes of the troop surge and defeat of al Qaeda in Iraq.  AQI.

AQI is on the run, normalcy has been restored to Fallujah, violence is virtually nonexistent, and this successful model is being duplicated throughout much of AQI.

Barack spoke out before the invasion

The surge success was in large part due to the paying of militant groups to cease fire, and when they werent paid off, they continued, and the surge appeared to not do anything.

Republicans support the war despite any progress on the ground. 

(monkey)mpo,

i need a few of your 'childrens' down here in mississippi to work in my fields.

You morons still don't get it. Bush didn't "pull off" 9/11 or any other conspiracy. He simply followed the orders of his globalist masters, period.
