Iraq Success Poses Problem for Obama

We should not be in this WAR. FULL STOP.

Success? So flooding a country with US troops and holding the violence down to a dull roar is now defined as success?

Forget the fact that recent elections there had to be delayed cause the Iraqi troops who were supposed to guard the election places deserted.

When Iraqis get up off their asses and take over their own affairs then we can call it a success and come home.

Extending the tours of our servicemen in Afghanistan and Iraq and then calling the war there success would be laughable if real people werent getting shredded to bits in those places every day.

The only ones I hear calling Iraq a success is the White House and John McCain,who continues to lick George's ass even after everyone else has stopped.

Obama in his full headlong dash to the Right,will take credit for the better news in Iraq...So far he is sounding like a Conservative!

A supreme "Flip Flopper"...to the dismay of the Loony left who got him this far...The guy is a politician! he will do, or say anything!

So much for change, loylity,charactor,convictions! ..What a Phony!!

Obama's little bistable multivibrator of a brain must be about ready to explode. His advisers had better get a better grib on their reins before the real Obama steps forward.

If you'd rather Iraq dissolved into bloodshed than have Obama lose, take a long look in the mirror.

I don't know about that part on licking, but I do agree that the Iraqi people are lazy. Maybe it's the heat. When I cut the yard in August, I'm drained afterward. So it's hot, and it's hotter there. No grass. No trees. Nothing. It must suck there. So maybe they all just don't care. We think that they should care. Maybe they truly couldn't give a flying flip about what happens there. I bet everyone in the country would be on the next flight to Florida given the chance.

I went to college with a lot of engineering students from the middle east. Mostly they weren't smart enough to get into college in their own country. Every one of them cheated their way through class. None of them wanted to try. Sound familiar. Maybe it's genetic. I don't know. I think we are wasting our time there. We should just extend statehood to them since we've already extended rights to our guests at club gitmo.

I like it. Call it the Sandy State. Kind of a desert paradise. Maybe we could build a big casino there.

Our military has made it known today and is sending Obama a message he should really listen to. They are truly dedicated to their mission of resolving conflict in Iraq. 1,250 servicemen currently serving in Iraq have reenlisted today in honor of Independence day. Doesn't sound like they want to come home.

If 1250 people wanted us to invade Canada would that make it a good idea? When you re-up one of the inducements is for a better/different assignment. Doesn't sound like they want to stay.

A very good twist of the actual fact; however, this was not their intent. Why make a point of doing it on Independence day???

Winning in Iraq, what a joke! This will never end because these people hate each other and are religious fanatics. The only way to control them is to do just what Saddam did and what Mugabe is doing and the rest of the despots. If we took all the money we have spent over there and just divided it amongst the people of Iraq you can bet there would be peace and they wouldn’t care about our government letting the oil companies pilfer their oil. Their government goes on vacation for the summer, what a joke, those guys have so much money in foreign bank accounts its not even funny..

Don't ya'll notice that the liberals are no where in sight on this topic...

Freckin clueless idiots!

Ummm. We're already in it so get with the program.

McCain says we stay until it's fixed and Obama says we'll retreat and try to arrest the terrorists after they committ the next mass murders on our soil just like Bill Clinton.

Sorry but I'll stay on offense and try to kill the virus now while it's very weak and in regression vs Obama allowing them to recover and try to kill us again.

This war is not a do or die as you think. I say that as one that was duped right along with you. The US isolated Libya and IT WORKED. We will never win fighting these muslim die hards that have nothing to live for with the exception of a feisty camel flea in their arm pit at sun down.

Do you realize how many soliders come back with no legs, no arms, no eyes? IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

It really isn't. Only a fool would believe we could tame the Middle East like it was Germany. A FOOL!! And I say that with a three year stint in the middle east.

Colonel Mary A. Wright's resignation letter
The following is a copy of Mary (Ann) Wright's letter of resignation to Secretary of State Colin Powell. Wright was most recently the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She helped open the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, in January 2002 / Secretary of State Colin Powell US Department of State Washington, DC
Dear Secretary Powell: March 21, 2003 / http://tinyurl.com/835ub
When I last saw you in Kabul in January, 2002 you arrived to officially open the US Embassy that I had helped reestablish in December, 2001 as the first political officer. At that time I could not have imagined that I would be writing a year later to resign from the Foreign Service because of US policies. All my adult life I have been in service to the United States. I have been a diplomat for fifteen years and the Deputy Chief of Mission in our Embassies in Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan (briefly) and Mongolia. I have also had assignments in Somalia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Grenada and Nicaragua. I received the State Department's Award for Heroism as Charge d'Affaires during the evacuation of Sierra Leone in 1997. I was 26 years in the US Army/Army Reserves and participated in civil reconstruction projects after military operations in Grenada, Panama and Somalia. I attained the rank of Colonel during my military service.
This is the only time in my many years serving America that I have felt I cannot represent the policies of an Administration of the United States. I disagree with the Administration's policies on Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, North Korea and curtailment of civil liberties in the U.S. itself. I believe the Administration's policies are making the world a more dangerous, not a safer, place. I feel obligated morally and professionally to set out my very deep and firm concerns on these policies and to resign from government service as I cannot defend or implement them.
I hope you will bear with my explanation of why I must resign. After thirty years of service to my country, my decision to resign is a huge step and I want to be clear in my reasons why I must do so.
I disagree with the Administration's policies on Iraq

America has really declined when she can only offer Obama or McCain. Neither one of them are fit for the job. I don't think McCain is going to make it until November. He looks eaten up with cancer, he isnot healthy. He has it, you know. Obama is a street kid in an empty suit.

Uh huh. Another Joe Wilson type. Good riddance to her, they should have fired her years ago.

She is a hero and the truth of this war should get out to the American public. After 18 tears, though, it's a bit late.
