Obama's Iraq "Decision": The Big Lie

1 Comment

Afghanistan and Obama

What truly amazes me at this moment is how the people cheer for Obama each time he speaks of pulling out of Iraq and the Billions he will save the taxpayer to be spent on projects he wants at home.

Then Obama says McCain took his eye off the ball with Afghanistan that is where the true war is and goes on to say how he is going to increase the troops there.

For some reason no one seems to connect several things.

1. Pulling out of Iraq = saving money says Obama

2. Increasing the troops in Afghanistan = shifting the money saved from the Iraq pullout over to the Afghanistan build up.

3. Obama , and his supporters have never done a balance sheet because the savings he touts is cancelled out by the build up he wants.

I doubt Obama is even aware of the build up we have had in Afghanistan since this past Feb. I know my daughter is there and has been extend once already. She is suppose to be back just before the election but I doubt it.
I know that if they are short in her specialty when it is time to return she will volunteer to stay and as she would say Just doing her job.

I wish the next time Obama tries to use this reasoning with McCain he would point out that there will be no net savings. Obama's promise is an empty one he is cooking the books so to speak.

I really enjoyed Obama's statement during the debate that if he found Obama Ben Laden in Pakistan he would bomb him. Does he not know what an uprising of terrorist that would cause let alone the fact that Pakistan is an ally of the U.S.
What does he thinks an action like that would do to our standing in how the world perceives the U.S.

Obama is a mass of contradictions and this needs to be pointed out.

The next time Obama says McCain and the Bush administration McCain should point to Obama and say. My name is John McCain not G.W. Bush obviously Obama does not know who he is running against should I call him Pelosi, Reid or Frank's?
