Iraq Withdrawal: In Odierno’s Presence, Obama Says It’s About Stability, Not Timlines
BAGHDAD, April 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama, visiting U.S. troops in Iraq, told them on Tuesday that the next 18 months would be critical for their mission in the country.
“This is going to be a critical period, these next 18 months,” Obama said, referring to the Aug 2010 deadline for the withdrawal of all U.S. combat troops from Iraq.
“You will be critical in terms of us being able to make sure Iraq is stable, that it is not a safe haven for terrorists, and we can start bringing our folks home,” Obama told troops at Camp Victory, the sprawling U.S. military base on the outskirts of Baghdad.
The White House said that the top U.S. commander in Iraq, General Ray Odierno, told Obama that even with bombings this week in Iraq, the level of violence in the country is the lowest since the start of the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

well well, haven’t been on here in a while but I knew this article would be here since the Usurper visited us today! all the photos and all the positive spin placed on this idiot is designed to convey the impression that all the military supports him…makes me sick how the media is…if only the truth were equally conveyed in the same fashion!
aTb
“Don’t Tread on Me”
“Live FREE or DIE!”
Can you provide us with a more truthful version of the events? I don’t believe for a second the military is fawning over this assclown.
I’ll bet remf’ers are…if you catch my drift.
Usurper I love that for his name, might just have to bump nobama now. God bless you all who serve this country. Not only have you for filled the call of duty, but you are carrying the burden of all us lazy slackers who haven’t. You all deserve absolute respect. Thank You for what you’ve done, and are doing.
This is a Reuters story. What else do you need to know? The troops are probably rolling their eyes and laughing behind his back. How can you respect someone who hates his own country?
Caption that photo. “You see that pinnacle on the palace Mr. President? That’s where I’m gonna hang your balls the next time you screw up.”
So does obonzo set the stage for a proclamation of victory in Iraq? No,he would offend his mooslum brothers.
Caption: General Ray Odierno points to equipment most vital to the President’s visit - the location of the teleprompters.
Bush was right all along. Obama has taken almost every Bush policy since he was elected.
You could almost call Obama LiL Bush.
General points to “UP”…instructing Obama on the basics….i.e.” Mr President, this way is up”. RNS RJI
Very good RJI. Next will be how to find body parts with both hands.
Suit and tie on a major war base….really?
Caption: “No Mr. President, that’s the same sun you see back home.”
I was in the Army when clinton was pres. When he would come to pomp around they would give people a 3 day weekend to get them to go.
If the US military is actually in support of this (Bitch) man, then freedom in the world is dead.
“Did we land in Chicago”?
Pic Caption:
“The predator missile will hit you from this angle, you won’t even hear it.”
look misses president…a clue
Check out the MSNBC article on the Iraqi salesman who rescued a baby from a burning car after a bomb went off.
He is quoted as saying: ” I can not stand by and watch” when asked why he risked his life.
Maybe there is hope there, certainly he has more balls than most of Congress critters here.
maybe that should be the rallying cry of some of us, “we can not stand by, and watch”..
Caption: That’s where God lives…you are not God…
CAPTION:
“Is that a teleprompter?”
HOLY SHIT REALLY HUSSEIN!? You’re just now learning this. What happened to your anti-war platform?
