Obama: "I Stand Strongly by My Plan to End" Iraq War

[crystalmethod1000]

lol politicians

[staceyloveme1]

Enough is enough, I lived in iraq & am half iraqi. I want this to end, Iraqi pple are the nicest, warm hearted ppl in the world. I'm tired of all those unecassary death caused by george bush!

I believe Obama wants all wars to stop but the new world order is trying to stop him.

But I say yes Obama we can. Never forget where you come from!

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

you fucking crybaby winespping bisexual liberals...dont let up on your a-stan policy Obama,.you and every of us that have served there and will continue to serve dont need this to end as our vietnam...he ended OIF..he said he would end OIF and pull out and redeploy to the stan wich is a justified operation so stop whining when you sit in your couches far from harms way ...

[MrCrazyHoop]

bullshit!

[AXESMI]

Almost 2 years into his administration and we are still in Iraq. And he is going by Bush's Timetable for withdrawl agreed upon with the new Free, Iraq government (Thanks to GWB).

[mikie8865]

LIAR

[TheWeed42009]

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

@TheWeed42009 kiss my ass , stop taking whatever your taking cause its clearly affecting your judgement...oh and stop watching "loose change" when making up your political opinions you....

[741398]

way to go to everyone who voted for this jackass and the admin. that have followed him

[sjpones3]

ummmmm hello? where r still in Iraq, And a surge for Afghanistan? whats going on here??

[theadmiralburns]

You know and I know what's going on here. He is another lying politician. The only one's who don't get it are the Obama Zombies.

[airattack111]

He never said anything about ending the afghan war... during the election he even supported the afghanistan war against the terrorists that attacked us. And even with the surge, he did name a time-table for leaving, it's just the fact of whether or not we do it.

Iraq.... We'll see I guess. It's time to gtfo of there.

[unc68]

Like Korea and Vietnam? No retreat, no surrender just a withdrawal? Those stratedies worked out well.

[ElZomboFantasma]

Here we are nearly a year later from when he said this, now as president.

Thanks a lot, asshole.

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

@ElZomboFantasma boo

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

@ElZomboFantasma boo this things takes time,your obviously never even come close to signing an enlistment contract..

[weitiff]

last tuesday he signed off an increase of troops in afganistan that lying bastard who decieved you all and made you his obamabots lets get this straigh HE IS NOT THE MASSIAH

[omfgARISTO]

@weitiff since when does iraq = afganistan  YOU ARE NOT A SMART PERSON

[ktjax816]

@weitiff Did you miss the part where he said we need to, "refocus our attention on Afganistan"...so he is NOT a lying bastard. The notion that Iraq and Afganistan are in any way related other than geographically was manufactured by the Bush administration.

[KINGKENNYTHEHOLY]

@weitiff no hes not,but SO WHAT,I voted for Mccain..but I gotta hand it to Barrack..hes doing a stand up job handling OEF(ended) and OEF/ISAF..you cant just pull out of the stan now..theres tenfolds of other nations with forces there because bush insisted to consider..and before you ask I have double citizenships..

[weitiff]

my brother whom is serving currently, he says that the iraqi police have begun planting ied's because al queda knows that we will be leaving soon and are simply hiding out untill we do so, main point is that the iraqi police are not ready or equipped to handle the overwhelming force once we leave

[Jgrado1]

It's impossible to tell the condition of the Middle East right now. Too many people are still euphoric about Obama's election, they don't even care what's happening over-seas.

[pilgor87]

the lord is upset

[figo17]

The world has been waitin for this sentence to come out frm a president..

Yea Obama!! Let it happen..

u gt my support frm Spore..

[johnnikey]

The change is that more troops to Iraq and Afghan to stop further terrorism threat.

[mcmatanmc]

great the U.S leaves and Israel will have to handle them....

[Darkshath]

All of you people talking about racism. Its still alive and well. take a good look around. :(

[Bucfever40]

I totally agree with you, blacks really are the most racist around, of course they feel exempt from this claim, but we all know this will never change.

[shanewoods39]

change is coming!

[calloutinchains]

excuse my spelling, i'm a little tired

[calloutinchains]

Seems like many of you answering here may beleive it is better to continue the Iraq War. I can see your point of view if you are working for an oil company or military contractor. Your co. is probably making ooodles of cash. However, in this point in US history that is unfourtunate. You have to support the Iraq War to put food on the table, save for retirement, keep rich, etc. But even if this is true, in your hearts I know you beleive killing in a country that didn't attack us is wrong...

[Darkshath]

I wouldn't say that personal gain would be the only reason to support the Iraq War. Thats kinda of a bad idea.

[PeaceKnewPolitics]

Iraq is a mess, a complete and utter mess that Obama believes he can solve by leaving the power to a government that nobody listens to? If an entire ARMY can't control this country, how can the police? Like it or not Iraq needs us, and I hope that this time we follow through or else it will be more terrorism and war to come.

[stormz7675454]

** Vote No Obama ** Obama supports abortions. Thats Not Change, Thats Murder Obama Lied when he said he would only take public funds. Thats Not Change, Thats a Lier. Obama called his grandmother a "typical white person". Thats Not Change, Thats Racism. Obama Flip-Floped on the D.C. Gun Ban. Thats Not Change thats Politics. Obama called Working class Americans 'Bitter' and thats why we have 'guns and cling to our religion' Obama is a Lier, Obama is a Flip-Floper Obama is a Politician

[WhatisRight2430]

...you are SO RIGHT. He is a liar. Proof is: He claims to be christian but his pastor is racsist& certainly doesnt preach anything in the bible. One Muslim actually made a video and said HE DOESNT BELIEVE OBAMA LEFT ISLAMIC BELIEFS! ..Thats coming from a MUSLIM Man!..It would be FOOLISH to place him as Americas President. HE IS A LIAR, STRAIGHT UP! ..watch my video.. Seven Seconds Away From The End

[harryflorent]

We are fighting a enemy that we are not sure where they originated from,IF we leave Iraq the enemy will always come back, they are like cockroaches, you can poison them and things will clear up for a while but they will return, so I say leave Iraq or it will be an endless massacre for generations to come. If it was a country then we might have a chance to win but the enemy is spread across the world like a cancer with hate and violence in their hearts that drives their ambition.

[texasgurl1986]

He needs to just let the military do their job and finish the mission, they are succeeding and doing terrific. If we leave too early or too carelessly, it will just allow things to fall apart and the terrorists to re-group. If that happens, we would have to go back and do it all over again, which would cost hundreds more lives, OR we could just do nothing (like the democrats would choose) and wait for another terror attack here in the USA.

[mscave]

Wow did you pull that straight from a speech you heard from Mr. Bush?

[texasgurl1986]

I can't get over the complete ARROGANCE of this man. Barack Hussein Obama has never even visited Iraq since 2006, yet he thinks he knows more about the situation than the Generals and the troops out there in the field? I really hope Senator Obama makes a trip to Iraq and soon, he will definately get an ear full. He won't have a liberal elitist crowd to clap for his BS. I know my fiance(who is serving in Iraq with the US Army) and my father (who also served in Iraq) stand by the mission 100%.

[deanrdd]

You notice no one, especially those on the right, asks about the Iraqi Christians? Things that make you go hmmmm.

[WhatisRight2430]

Anyone who is an iraqi christian, they are beaten. Watch my video, see what they do to Christians! ..Seven Seconds Away From The End

[popozesty]

It's on the line now Barack. Make it happen. We stand by you...

"Bring the troops home!"

-Margaret Jeffers, Austin TX, mother of US soldier in Iraq

[lovejangie1]

Very good, thought-provoking speech.

[redwine666]

VIVA OBAMA speaking truth to power!!! bush is a war criminal Mc same I mean McCain is an old man which will = more of the same. this country is in the toilet and these paid mccain hacks want to fill your head with b/s lies and fear will not work this time!

[ioappoggioronpaul]

Shit of idiot,

retire the trup is declaire failed the war at terrorism,he's a stupid terrorist

NO OSAMA MUSLIM HUSSEIN

Go McCain 08!

[Ve3tah417]

doublespeak

[seeker4truth]

Obamanots,

Your profanity and epithets against Obama do not take away from his intelligence and presidential presence. Your derogatory comments appeal to you and a select audience - ignorant people who do not realize that the lies about Obama actually make fun of them. Anyone who is literate, has common sense,and an open mind sees that Obama is qualified to be president.I enjoy learning how you hoodwink and manipulate the people. And,they love it! The world now sees into the American mind.

[WhatisRight2430]

Its funny, I dont know about you seeker4truth but i wouldnt want a LIAR to lead our country. Watch all the videos on him, he has lied about numerous things. Sure he seems like a good man, yes it is time for change but placing him as president coul dbe the worst mistake anyone has ever made. Look him up. Hispastor is RASCIST against white people. I thought we were done away with rascism a long time ago! He claims he is christian and PROVES otherwise. He is a liar, i dont trust him

[deanrdd]

Funny, Rev. Wright served honorably for six years in the United States Marines. Six years in the Marines with an Honorable Discharge.  Hmmm. I'm guessing you also served at least that long to be able to make such an accusation against a patriot whose people have been slaves, rode the back of the bus, whose leader was assassinated,who were experimented on with Syphilis for 3 generations, white only restrooms and fountains, and all this was by, get this, WHITE PEOPLE.Things that make you go hmm.

[WhatisRight2430]

Hmm, yah that is funny. Wheather he served or not, he certainly shows every sighn of anti america. and YOUR trying to make a pont by putting white people down. if you ask me, thats VERY RASCIST and i take much offence to that. I thought rascism was done away with long ago. When Martin Luther King put away with it. &you want me to say boo hoo because his anncestors had to struggle? we all have struggles. I would vote for a black president if he stood for good and wasnt a LIAR. ButThanks rascist:)

[deanrdd]

You are so funny. Maybe look up Jenn Six. White students put nooses up in a tree at a high school, beat a black student, pulled a gun on another black student. Understandably, the black students weren't pleased, they beat up one of their tormentors, but not so bad the guy attended the school dance THAT NIGHT. The black students arrested and charged with murder. None of the white students charged. One child went to prison where, eventually released due to protest. One incident of many. Sick.

[deanrdd]

Sorry, charged with "attempted murder".The difference, when white children misbehave, they are scolded, when black children retaliate, are arrested for attempted murder. The DA said publicly the only reason blacks didn't riot was because Jesus Christ stepped in and personally kept the blacks calm.

Recently, a bound black man died tasered 9 times by police. Here in Chicago, a newlywed woman was shot because she didn't get out of her car. The police car was unmarked and he didn't announce and on.

[deanrdd]

You see, you "think" I am a racist, but I "know" you are a fool.

[Bucfever40]

excellent point!!

[deanrdd]

FROM THE NEW IRAQ CONSTITUTION:

Article (2): 1st — Islam is the official religion of the state and is a basic source of legislation: (a) No law can be passed that contradicts the undisputed rules of Islam.

Article (3): Iraq is part of the Islamic world and its Arab people are part of the Arab nation.

This is what we fought for.Many Americans see no problem with creating a fundamentalist Islamic Religious Government.They say, it's still a democracy, right? The answer is, "NO",it's not.

[kusotarre]

It's worth pointing out that the old constitution, the one made under Saddam (just completely ignored) was secular and pretty servicable.

It made no sense to push for a new constitution once poverty created by the sanctions had exacerbated religious fundamentalism.

[cassidyyt]

It feels wonderful listening to a clear, well-reasoned talk to the nation like this.

[0613162k]

Obama supporters need to be informed, or to stop being in denial as it'll cost lives in Iraq.

Obama's own website shows it WILL NOT technically end war completley, and WILL CONTINUE OCCUPATION IN IRAQ.

It states:

"Under the Obama plan, A RESIDULE FORCE WILL REMAIN IN IRAQ and in the region TO CONDUCT COUNTER- TERROISM MISSIONS AGAINST AL QUEDA in Iraq and to protect American diplomatic and civilian personnel."

Vote Independent. Vote Ralph Nader. Vote to end Iraq war & ocupation.

[carlinoversace]

yeah spot on, i really hope he wins
