Brookings Institute Expert See Danger In Obama’s Iraq Plans

Published by at 11:41 am under All General Discussions,Iraq

Obama wants to surrender Iraq at all costs, no matter what the cost. And this has even some Democrats wondering “WTF”?

Republicans were not alone in that response. Michael E. O’Hanlon, a Democratic defense analyst at the Brookings Institution who has been an outspoken supporter of the war in Iraq, said he could not believe that Obama would put such a definitive timeline into print before a trip to Iraq, where he is to consult with Iraqi leaders and U.S. commanders.

To say you’re going to get out on a certain schedule — regardless of what the Iraqis do, regardless of what our enemies do, regardless of what is happening on the ground — is the height of absurdity,” said O’Hanlon, who described himself as “livid.” “I’m not going to go to the next level of invective and say he shouldn’t be president. I’ll leave that to someone else.”

All of Obama’s lies about caring about people, the innocent, the children is BS. All he cares about is getting into the Oval Office. Obama has made a huge mistake by placing his stake in the ground BEFORE he goes to Iraq, because this is what he will be facing:

And this from one of my previous posts:

Obama is already way behind McCain in being seen as a sound Commander-in-Chief, he cannot keep up this blind obsessiveness with retreat and win in November. America is just not crying out to be defeated in Iraq.

    “to say you’re going to get out on a certain schedule — regardless of what the iraqis do, regardless of what our enemies do, regardless of what is happening on the ground — is the height of absurdity,” said o’hanlon,…” of course this statement is the height of absurdity because it is not what obama has said. not now. not six months ago. if your argument is based on mis-representations then it’s not much of an argument.
