Obama caves to the right again: Now, he's "going to visit Iraq and Afghanistan before the November election"
Is there anything we *can't* make him cave on?

Barack Obama doesn't want to engage in any "political stunts." That's why he's not going to visit Iraq to see whether his announced dogma vis-á-vis the U.S. strategy there (Run away! Run away!) is remotely what the doctor prescribed for success; that's why he hasn't convened, and will not convene, his Senate Subcommittee responsible for overseeing NATO efforts in Afghanistan. He already knows what's best in those two countries (apparently withdrawal from one, and an infusion of Arabic-speaking farmers into the other); he certainly doesn't need to see the situations there with his own eyes, or attend hearings about them to hear what experts have to say.
No matter what you say, Barack Obama does not need to travel to Iraq or learn about Afghanistan to know the right courses of action in those two countries. How dare you suggest that he must? He doesn't have to do what you say.
Like I said, he probably won't go; but may, if he so chooses -- but if he does deign to do so, it is not because anybody told him to. Nobody's his boss; big boys can tell themselves what to do.
Like I said, Barack Obama's seriously thinking about going to Iraq -- but again, Barack decides what Barack does; stop trying to make him do unnecessary things like actually learn facts before he makes up his mind! That's the trouble with all of you pundits and blogger-types: you're so darned forceful in this meddling with your betters. Can't you learn when to sit down and shut up, and listen to the consistent message that those who rule over you have been preaching?
It's always been the same; your minds is where the inconsistency is! Like I've said this whole time -- have you been paying attention? -- Barack Obama is promising to visit Iraq and Afghanistan before the November election.
Did you really think he wouldn't? You clearly misunderestimate his capacity for caving in.

Maybe if we complain loud enough, and continuously enough, he'll keep our troops in Iraq, appoint Petraeus Secretary of Defense, appoint 3 anti-Roe justices to the Supreme Court, close our borders, and privatize Social Security.

Are we sure we're voting for the right guy when we push for McCain?

He going to see exactly what he wants to see. His message won't change. He is still going to push for complete withdrawal - no matter how many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis die in the process.
Have you added to the population of the McCain 2008 minicity yet today?

After all he needs to ramp up there since Bush "took his eye off" Osama and company, right?

Obama's guiding principle: "I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks."
That don't even understand what you are saying, when you speak of integrity or honesty.
In his case he is easily bought too.

This is the part where he "betrays" them and tacks to the center.

If he goes, it is going to be at a time of his choosing.
It could either be his real sistah souljah moment, where he gets to pose, better than he did on his bike, and look brave for the cameras.
Or he could refuse to go, consolidating his stand on the left.
The timing of this must come outside of his comfort zone.
BO doesn't have a clue how to handle the 2 wars. He just memorize all the talking points from someone else. He said we are not doing good in Afghanistan because we don't have enough Arabic translators. LOL. Even if we have enough Arabic translators, I don't that they will do us any good as the Afghan don't speak Arabic.
While he's on the way out of Iraq, I bet the first sentence contains: "I am more convinced than ever."

...said the surge would never work, and have never met 1-on-1 with General Petraeus. How does a foreign relations lightweight plan on celebrating his shiny new nomination?
