Today, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is in Iraq.
He’s making his pitch to withdraw one to two brigades a month from Iraq, and send more U.S. troops to Afghanistan. His proposal seemed to get a nod from Iraq’s prime minister, ahead of their meeting today.
Barack Obama meets with General David Petraeus, too.
Obama used his stop in Kabul to call for a shift in U.S. focus away from Iraq.
He met with Afghanistan’s president, ate with U.S. troops, and made his point.
Sen. Barack Obama says “there’s starting to be a growing consensus that it’s time for us to withdraw some of our combat troops out of Iraq, deploy them here in Afghanistan, and I think we have to seize that opportunity.”
Obama seemed to get a boost from Iraq’s prime minister on his 16-month pullout plan.
In an interview with a German magazine, Nouri al-Maliki said quote “it could be suitable to end the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq.”
Was he endorsing Obama for president? Aides to Iraq’s leader insisted no. But agreement between the two would deal a blow to Republican John McCain.
McCain said he’s not surprised Iraqis want pullout. Security gains he said are because of the surge he supported and Obama opposed.
Sen. John McCain said “Senator Obama chose a path which was very wrong and is wrong today. And if we had done what he wanted to do, we would be facing enormous challenges and probably the risk of a much wider war.”
Polls show Obama is ahead on who would improve the U.S. image abroad. His trip, complete with a freshly painted plane, is threat enough to Republicans, McCain is out with his first negative ad.
McCain insists conditions on the ground should dictate troop pullout from Iraq, not a pre-set timetable.
McCain is trying to hold onto what polls show is voter confidence in him as commander in chief. With Obama in Iraq, McCain holds campaign events in Maine.

Why NOT to vote for Obama
This will make you re-think!
A Trivia question in Sunday School:
How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations?
Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is. Almost a four-year term of a Presidency.
All I can say is “Lord, Have mercy on us!”
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything.. Do we recognize this description??
I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media
outlet...Do it! I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.
As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .
“We are no longer a
Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . .
“ As with so many other statements I’ve heard him (and
his wife) make, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation.
To think our
forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation--and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that.
How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be
With God’s help and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation! Please pray for our nation!
sincerely, mechelle thompson.
