- Thread starter Mr Ceza
- Start date
what exactly is his plan to end the war in iraq? and im pretty sure he wants to escalate the the war in afghanistan...afghanistan is actually more dangerous than iraq is now appearantly...
i remember reading some article that said he wasnt gonna actually end the war...what his plan is according to the article i read was that he was gonna have 40-80,000 troops still in iraq to secure baghdad airport and the green zone...and use counter terrorism units to deal with the insurgents outside of those areas...
but im not sure...so my question is...what exactly is his plan to end the iraq situation?

If y'all don't find nothing else appealing about Obama as president, wouldn't it be worth it to see the look on Bush's face during the swearing in ceremony? I bet that'll be the first time Bush thinks to himself, "damn, I really fucked up!" lol
Or we can go with McCain and the world can go out in a mushroom cloud... who's down?

That's what I'm sayin!
Every time he has had an even remotely progressive idea he has backpedaled on it. It has reached the point that most often he just kicks it to the side and adopts the status quo position. As the general election nears he increasingly has tried to fit himself into the rightwing democrat mold that Clinton [Bill] forged; the same mold that has been a momentous failure for everyone that has come after.
NO ONE EVEN HE(BARACK OBAMA) knows what he will do about getting the troops out of IRAQ. He probably doesnt even know 100% of the deals made behind closed doors, not to mention what the Government of IRAQ is thinking. The whle IRAQ Invasion has has motives only the BUSH/Chaney bunch know about. OBAMA will be the second last to know the truth. We will be the last. But what he says is way better than McCain or BILLARY.
This is a silly thread. Painting Obama as our savior is asinine. Cus he is black? Democratic? What exactly is so appealing about him? Does he have magic powers? Or is is that he is just NOT George W. Bush?
LOL @ Bush lowering the acceptable prediental standards from here until the end of time. You could elect a plant into office that could do a better job.

Obama wasting no time!
Obama pledges support for Israel
Barack Obama has pledged unwavering support for Israel in his first foreign policy speech since declaring himself the Democratic nominee for president.
He told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac), a prominent Jewish lobby, Israel's security was "sacrosanct" and "non-negotiable".
He also said he would do "everything" to stop Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
As the Democrats' primary season ended, Mr Obama received the support of enough delegates to clinch the nomination.
His rival, Hillary Clinton, has yet to concede.
Their speeches to Aipac focused on similar topics - with Mr Obama setting out what he would do as US president, while Mrs Clinton referred to what "the next president" should do.
She told Aipac the Democratic party's strong commitment to Israel would continue under the next Democratic president.
"I know Senator Obama understands what is at stake here," she said.
"It is an honour to call him my friend - and let me be clear, I know that Senator Obama will be a good friend to Israel."
Two-state policy
Mr Obama told Aipac the Israel-American relationship was a cross-party issue - but he criticised the current administration's policies in the region.
He said the war in Iraq had emboldened Iran, which posed a real, grave danger.
"My goal will be to eliminate this threat," he said.
He said real security came from lasting peace and he would work from the start of his administration to achieve a Palestinian state alongside an Israeli one - but with Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel.
Unity bid
Mr Obama has paid tribute to Mrs Clinton and hinted that she would play a role in any future Obama administration.
Mrs Clinton has said she would be "open" to the idea of being Mr Obama's vice-presidential running-mate.
Correspondents say the Democratic campaign to choose a nominee has been deeply divisive which is why senior Democrats have called for the party to unite and focus on the general election.
They urged the remaining super-delegates - party officials with a free choice over who to support at the party's selection convention in August - to make their choice by Friday.
