Top Obama Campaign Executive: We Should Be “Proud” of Obama For “Ending Divisive War In Iraq” — No Mention of Victory, Troops Sacrifice…
Would it kill Team Obama to acknowledge the amazing job our troops did in Iraq?

I’m James Kvaal, the new policy director for President Obama’s 2012 campaign. You’ll be hearing from me occasionally about the President’s policies and those of our opponents, and how we can all help bring about change for our country.
Yesterday, we accomplished one major change when President Obama announced that all American troops in Iraq will be home before the holidays.
With that action, the Iraq war will end. And one of the President’s central promises will have been kept.
Both as Americans and as supporters of President Obama, this is something for us to reflect on, and be proud of.
The war in Iraq was a divisive, defining issue in our country for nearly nine years, and was the catalyst for many Americans to get involved in politics for the first time.
Now, thanks to the actions of this President, we can say that conflict is coming to a close.
The end of this war reflects a larger transition in our foreign policy as, in the President’s words, “the tide of war is receding.” The drawdown in Iraq has allowed us to refocus on the fight against al Qaeda, even as we begin to bring troops home from Afghanistan. And of course, this week also marked the definitive end of the Qaddafi regime in Libya.
These outcomes are an example of what happens when a leader sets a plan and sees it through. In the last campaign, the President committed to getting American troops home while leaving behind a stable and secure Iraq. You rallied around that vision, and now that promise has been fulfilled.
On behalf of this campaign and supporters of the President across the country, I want to thank the more than 1 million Americans who have served in Iraq [that’s all the troops got for recognition — ed.], and all those who worked to make this possible.
Thanks,
James

It’s almost like they’re forgetting to tell people the Iraq war was already over when Obama took office.

Dear US Troops
Thank you for a job well done. Your commitment and sacrifice makes me proud to be an American. There is not another true group of Patriots of the planet. God bless you all.
Sincerely
President Separate Reality
@Zip -
History didn’t begin until after Bam took office, dontcha know…
In other wars other than Nam, veterans were welcomed home with ticker tape parades, these patriots are going to be welcomed home with an Obama parade where food stamps are used in lieu of ticker tape…
Welcome home Patriots, mission well done, America loves you!
Thank you brave warriors. Buck Ofamma.
To all those that have fought and died for this country,
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Sincerely,
Grateful American
Interesting….By the way….was it an oversight that Obama did not mention President Bush.
As I recall candidate Obama wanted to leave Iraq three years ago…and only the success of Petraus turned the tide…which now allow the president to take a victory lap.
Such it is for people whose careers circumvent accomplishments but still present themselves as people of achievement.
Let’s see what he will do when Libya, Egypt and soon Syria go from bad to worse….
“With that action, the Iraq war will end. And one of the President’s central promises will have been kept.”
No words for this jerk or his boss, they really are nothing but morons and power hungry frauds. And I’m being kind, much worse can be said about these a$$holes.
==============================
Thank you to every patriot who served, those who paid the ultimate price, those who are injured and have to deal with those injuries for a lifetime and thank you to the families who sacrifice more than is ever acknowledged by the liberal America loathing American press. Thank you to the troops and their families.
Obama’s ‘Sheer Ineptitude’
By Carole on Oct 22, 2011
President Barack Obama has failed again. This time he demonstrated his incompetence when, after nine years of American sacrifice that freed the Iraqi people from a murderous regime and protected them through their first years of democracy, he could not convince Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to allow any US military forces to remain in his country.
In announcing the complete withdrawal of American troops from Iraq by the end of the year, Mr. Obama declared, “Our troops in Iraq will definitely be home for the holidays.” Despite the warm and fuzzy World War II-ish spin, it is yet another Obama screw up.
Former Massachusetts Governor and GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney issued the following statement in response to the news, “President Obama’s astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women. The unavoidable question is whether this decision is the result of a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government. The American people deserve to hear the recommendations that were made by our military commanders in Iraq.”
Based on our Candidate-in-Chief’s track record, there is little doubt that the timing of the announcement and withdrawal are at least partly based on “naked political calculation” but Mr. Romney was wrong in assuming this is an either/or situation. Mr. Obama’s “sheer ineptitude in negotiations” is also on prominent display as the administration pushed for months to keep thousands of US troops in Iraq only to have talks irrevocably break down over the issue of giving those troops immunity from Iraqi prosecution.
After almost 4,500 American lives were lost and hundreds of billions of dollars were spent in Iraq, President Obama could not successfully negotiate an agreement that would insure those sacrifices and expenditures were not made in vain. With the complete removal of any American military presence in Iraq, the door is wide open for what Congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) called, “the strengthening of Iran’s influence in Iraq with no plan to counter that influence.”
No plan indeed. At least not one Barack Obama has the skills to implement effectively.

“No plan indeed. At least not one Barack Obama has the skills to implement effectively.”
I think that’s because Barry’s negotiating skills etc are always honed in for his political gains, whether it hurts America or not is secondary consideration, if at all.
I remember reading one book about George Washington’s military and governing skills, and how he didn’t care about his reputation, but his men, and the country he was creating, he would be very astute and very protective of it, his reputation, his power, he never seemed to care about at all, as a result, the fledging country and its citizens could tasted the freedoms that others paid such a heavy price for.
Thank you to the US military, your sacrifices are honored by all patriotic Americans. We will all honor your victory when the muslim in Chief is removed from office next year.
ZIPPY…..you mean that Obama hasn’t mentioned it a thousand times?
and that he didn’t thank them TODAY……
“Thanks to the extraordinary sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, the Iraqi people have the chance to forge their own future. And now the rest of our troops will be home for the holidays,” Obama said.
on his broadcast?
Ho yah! To our wonderful military you got er done. Thank you, rest assured the American people appreciate all that you done . I refuse to blemish my comment by mentioning you know who.

you one of them potatohead assholes thinks Christian white people gotta shoot some to keep the others down in their place?
@fuster
Did you spend last night in peace and with the knowledge that today you could run your errands without danger of being killed?
If true, then your position is absurd.
Bush negotiated our withdrawal before he left office. Obama just stayed the course when it came to Bush’s policies like he has on so many other things.
And they’ll tell us this isn’t a Political Move !
what I find stunning is they are so quick and blatant to use this as a campaign reelection talking point. it was just announced yesterday and already using it as a reelection talking point.
Why do I have the feeling we will be back. Of course if by some stretch Obama gets re-elected he would love for more instability in the region.
Separate Reality —-that’ll require a couple of lines of clarification.
I salute the brave men and women on the fron lines, not the imbecilles who tried to tie their arms behind their backs will absurd rules on engagment!
The White House and the Pentagon need several good flushings!
I read that the president of Iraq told Obama it was time to get out of Iraq. What we are hearing from the White House is the ‘spin’ I think it was Hot Air.
New presidential campaign sentence structure: Subject verb I killed Osama.
Todd…neither…..just not a fan of utter bullshit.
some asshole wants to think it’s clever to say that Obama is a secret muslim, then fuck the idaho drool sauce retard.
” … this is something for us to reflect on, and be proud of.”
Riiight. Leaving a huge power vacuum in the Middle East is a GOOD thing.
Lucky for us the Religion of Peace is indeed a peaceful, tolerant, rational system of governance.
… Wait-a-sec … It’s not?
Aw, heck. Oopsies!
The complete change will come when pos for life obama makes us a third world shit hole just like his homeland.
0bama and the US were thrown out of Iraq. Now let the sand monkey savages kill off each other.
fuster.
I really tried coming up with something thoughtful to write to you – you know, to try and teach you how to be a mature adult.
But, alas, I have failed.
You are a stupid, useless human being.
And that is giving you a lot of credit.
Go away and shut up.
You stink.
“Would it kill Team Obama to acknowledge the amazing job our troops did in Iraq?” Unfortunately it wouldn’t actually kill him… But I think we all know that we are NOT going to hear boy blunder give credit to the Boots on the Ground!
I read that today, too scizzorbill. I saw it at American Thinker. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/10/us_kicked_out_of_iraq.html
@fuster
“Separate Reality —-that’ll require a couple of lines of clarification.”
Really??
Every single day, I pray for and thank the US military. Without their commitment, our lives would be completely different. If you, Mr. fuster, do not agree with that statement, then believe me when I say this….I do not give one iota of a nutfuck about you and yours and sincerely wish you the best of luck when the US military, as you wish, turns their back of you.
If you hate America so, then please GTFO.
and, I must say, this country will survive Obama and his ineptitude, it will survive the Occupy Spoiled Brat Bullshit, it will survive Nancy Pelosi and her corrupt, sick view of the world (she is a crook and a cheater) and it will survive Harry Reid’s (absolutely either alcoholic or demented) maneuverings. It will survive the never ending onslaught of the pukes in the MSM and the brainless stumblings of the Progressive shitheads in this country (fuster included).
Tough luck asshole.
Todd, don’t be trying to stretch things that damn far. how long ago was that and how old was he? 5 years old? 8?
he’s was sitting in that shithead Rew Wright’s church a long time.
he got married in a church almost 20 years ago.
Separate Reality—–what part of your ass did you pull that from?
just what makes you think that I don’t support our military?
me, my brother and my father all did our service.
did you?
@fuster
You said at 9:24….”some asshole wants to think it’s clever to say that Obama is a secret muslim, then fuck the idaho drool sauce retard.”
Hmmmm, sorry dweeb, I must label you as an ‘anti’ to my beliefs. I don’t give a shit if you and you family, supposedly were in the service…your comments are offensive and un-American.
Fuck you and the turnip truck you rode in on.
idaho drool sauce puts hair on your balls fuster…. you might want to consider it….
Addressed to fuster:
You are free to have whatever opinions you wish to have. From my perspective from the time you entered the gates of WZ you have seemingly held an unlimited reserve of arrogance. Your disrespectful on top of all that. So whether your disagreements with various person’s on here are about logisitics, demographics, history, etc., I for one person find any comments you put on here not worth my time reading.

Separate Reality – I agree.
To think that this “challenged person” (is that how you say it fester?) could ever understand what you and I and most other Americans hold dear is just wishful thinking.
This person, fester, is stuck back there somewhere between third and fourth grade and there is really nothing we can do about it. Of course, I wish there was something we could do to help it…. but alas.
there isn’t and there wouldn’t and there couldn’t….. and we shouldn’t.
Fester – go to Hell.
SepRe— “Idaho drool sauce” wasn’t a reference to you…….
but to this fool

saying that it’s bullshit to call Obama a muslim without any proof of the truth of it…..
is “offfensive and unAmerican” ?????
you got to be kidding.
fuster – son – you were the onliest one who DIDN’T GET IT.
but, then, you’ve heard that before I am thinking…..
yeah, Minnow, I guess that i don’t get not liking Obama’s politics means that you have to push bullshit about him being a muslim and I don’t get how saying that bullshit smears are bullshit is unAmerican.
and no, I didn’t get told too often that I “don’t get it”
sometimes, but not all that often.
@fuster
Sorry there skuzbucket, but I did not call Obumbler a Muzzie. Your implication that I did just further implicates you as the troll you are.
My take on Obumbler, is that he is as anti-American as they come. His intent is to not improve American status but rather, diminish it…
To me, this is treason. Penalty is….well, it should be very severe.
fester – as I had said before (though you don’t seem to have a real strong reading thing going on)
Tough luck asshole.
The reality is that we are being thrown out… No bases!
Only O’bammy ‘n gang can turn loss into success!
Gawd… I just cain’t wait ’til November 2012!
Obama’s father was muslim. He (Obama) was raised and educated in the muslim faith for many of his formative years. He later attended Rev. Wright’s church and has called himself a Christian. According to the religion of his birth he is now an apostate. And thus is deserving of punishment in the muslim world. But he has never been publicly called out on it by the muzzies. Why not?
Just sayin’.
oh – and – say, fester….
WHEN did I even mention President Dickhead’s religion.
OH THAT’S RIGHT – I DIDN’T.
Nice try.
Obama is a loser for this country ON SO MANY LEVELS and we don’t even need to mention his religion… whether it be the ass wipe in Chicago, or his ass wipe father…. but – then, you brought it up – I didn’t.
And, oh yeah, fuck you and the horse you rode in on loser.
Go look in the mirror before you type anything else loser.
As my father would have said “Quit while you’re ahead.”
Todd, old bud, a guy goes to church for 20 years after getting married in a church and that was after getting baptized is proof enough when there’s exactly zero proof of anything else.
God Damn America. (dumb ass)
twenty years of that shit – please explain that away moron.

pal , you gotta go back and read what I said to you @ 10:18
still waiting to hear anything from you about where you got “offensive and unAmerican” from ?
if it isn’t about the muslim bullshit, what is it?
no, of course not – I understand. It is a lot like driving up a mountain in a toyota corolla as compared to a Cadillac.
Nice try.
We all smile at the thought.

Good show, nice try….see ya, get ya, maybe ya, caus’ ya, ya know, jus becus’…give your bro obumbler a reach around and enjoy.
Rube and goob…
fuck you.
@fuster
Here is your chance to opine something that is even remotely revelent to conservative and/or American points of view….
Fill in the blanks…
What I love about America is……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
slowly but surely, the caliphate forms.
the only question is, which racist muslims will head it.
Persians, Turks or Arabs.
Yep, OK, so the format blows.
Just say something pro-American.
If impossible…..then, your filth of being has no value to me.
and I would respond…. relative to the caliphate….. Holly came from Miami, FLA…
and – oh Candy – I have several handguns and rifles and shotguns and….
what flavor do you want you muslim scum sucker – cuz I got yours right here.
And we ain’t goin’ down.
Bitch.
(and – uh, alright….. you ARE)
Obama is a muslim. I said it.
muslims claim to be the true Jews and true Christians because they say the holy bible is a fraud. that’s why they, like Obama can say with a straight face that they are abrahamic at their core.
they believe it, so it’s not taqiyya. technically.
Sep,please explain your bullshit claim and I’ll gladly extol the virtues of a democratic capitalist system that peacefully merges all the world’s different people into a nation of 300, 000, 000 folks who invent more things than the rest of the world combined.
I’ll even throw in that I attended free public schools including the high school that’s graduated more Nobel laureates than any other school, private or public and then was given scholarships for 8 more years of education
and those who might? Please consider this a challenge. Come and get it assholes.
You will not succeed.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha…..
You do not know what you are in for….
hey mongrel dog – show me your credentials. Oh, that’s right, you have none.
Blah-blah-blah… I went here – I went there….AND I STILL DON’T NO ANYTHING – AIN’T I SOMETHING?
Yawn.
You are a nobody, and you know nothing.
fister.
What soldiers?
What sacrifice?
Everything is about Obama.
hey fuster, what if someone challenged you to a real life meet up?
would you?
vangrungy,,
you really f’ed-up enough to think that a muslim is going to get baptized?
you gotta be stupid enough to drink out the toilet if you wanna say that.
luck up a-p-o-s-t-a-s-y and the penalty for it in all those fucked-up Islamic law states, gunky
buddy – I will leave you dangling on a thread… you sorry ass no excuse of a living thing.
Trust me.
hey Minnow, I actually meet real people every day.
spit.
where are you loser?
ha.
I’m within 20 miles of my high school.
where you?
thankfully for you – a long way away.
let me end this with the comment that if you were closer, I would come over, introduce myself…. attempt to talk some sense into you and then…… leave.
or whatever.
(I don’t know how old you are -but I do know you need to grow up)
Guys I’m going to be meddlesome for a few moments with these bits of thought and then who all you are can go back to wasting each others’ time.
#1) Being baptized does not necessarily mean everything spiritually. Yeah, I’ll catch flack for saying that. My point is that if I stand in a garage that doesn’t make me a car.
#2) Rev. Wright is no more a “reverend” than what Jesse Jackson is a “reverend”. Sure, maybe the one has a verifiable diploma stating so & so schooling to be a reverend compared to the latter one, but they are both in the same dump on “non-reverendness”
#3) Whether a person wants to dwadle more time as to the Muzziness or non-Muzziness of said President, there is an endless stream of questions surrounding him. From the people he has hob-nobbed, to his education, etc….
OK. I’m done with my righteous rant.
I will have to say that there are some on this post that are very skilled and practiced in the art of insult, nastiness and vituperation. Also very adroit with profanities. Impressive, really. I heard more politeness in jail. Yeah, I’m a criminal – BS traffic charge – I admit it. Vacuous and inane interchanges.

Thank you.
Oh,yeah. I got lost in the entertainment section. I originally meant to offer the thought that maybe the Rothschilds simply view the campaign as having reached the point of diminishing returns. So Soros gets his orders and has the King start another war in Libya ( http://tinyurl.com/3zjeze4) and a mini adventure in Uganda to put an umbrella over Soros’ oil interests.

Just found this: http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-obama-botched-iraq-withdrawal.html
Quote: “The problem, as described by most media sources, was Prime Minister Maliki’s inability to convince his government to allow American forces to remain and receive immunity from the capriciousness of Iraqi justice.
Rogin has a different story:
Sullivan was one of 40 conservative foreign policy professionals who wrote to Obama in September to warn that even a residual force of 4,000 troops would “leave the country more vulnerable to internal and external threats, thus imperiling the hard-fought gains in security and governance made in recent years at significant cost to the United States.”
She said that the administration’s negotiating strategy was flawed for a number of reasons: it failed to take into account Iraqi politics, failed to reach out to a broad enough group of Iraqi political leaders, and sent contradictory messages on the troop extension throughout the process.
“From the beginning, the talks unfolded in a way where they largely driven by domestic political concerns, both in Washington and Baghdad. Both sides let politics drive the process, rather than security concerns,” said Sullivan. “Etc.
Check out Shootout from Netflix, the dvd is awesome and shows the early battles were righteous in warrior perspective.
Fusterisms translated: “was given scholarships for 8 more years..”—got eight years in the pen. “20 miles from his high school” —-still in the penitentiary located within 20 miles of his former institute of highest learning and most likely didn’t graduate from, or he may be out on parole.
Whether Obama is a Muslim or not there is one thing is for certain…he is a big government, political elitist that thinks the fundamentals of what America is founded upon are wrong while he panders to the Islamic factions abroad and at home. He subscribes to Social Marxist ideologies for his own gain and power and has evidenced total and complete disdain for our Constitution when it does not abide with his overreach for power and control. He lacks leadership skill, economic understanding and even the basic ability to understand what the American dream even is as it must be learned from the successes and failures only gleaned through the experiences derived from working in the free market. This is not a new fight, this is a fight that has lingered for nearly 100years, the fight to control our Nation. Like Pavlov’s dog Obama has been created by the Progressive Liberal masses, the dinner bell for them is your liberties.
Todd, the Nobel prize was ridiculous. the high school still stands and it’s not hard to locate it. my son went there as well.
Revoke GORES,CARTERS and OBAMAS peace prizes and send the prize commity to SPICEMINES of KESSEL
who exactly has the authority to revoke Nobel Prizes?
Todd, I’ll have to take your word on that. Unlike yourself, I’ve no idea what “Obama ball breath” smells like…….is this common knowledge amongst the women of your family or is it just yourself knows about it?
