Meanwhile, it is being reported as indicated from this quote at Huffington Post --

"The Bush-Cheney administration is engaged in secret talks with their Iraqi counterparts to craft a binding executive agreement renewing current US military and detention policies when the United Nations authorization expires this December. The "status of forces" proposal is bogged down in disputes between the Pentagon and key Iraqi factions, and faces potential sharp questions in the US Congress in the coming weeks.

Assuming the administration has its way, which is by no means certain, the agreement between the two executive branches will preserve the right of US forces to initiate unilateral military action and continue rounding up tens of thousands of Iraqis in abusive preventive detention facilities where human rights are violated routinely."

Not mentioned here is immunity of American Soldiers from Iraqi law as well as Amrican rights to Iraqi air space.

The situation as it has been created by the present administration seems to have avoided a very ssimple yet profound guiding principle assuming that one's purpose and goals are honorable. By our actions we set the example for the rest of the world. If we wage war for a reason, then any other country feels that it can do likewise. If that reason is questionable, and certainly it can be argued that the Iraq war is quextionable, then by our example any other nation can also wage for for whatever reason it chooses. By our example we set the norm for the rest of the world. And as it is often said, what matters, is not so much where we are at, rather what direction we are headed in. If we are the greatest nation, we must set an example for the greatest good. If we don't then who?

This is a video someone posted of Gaddafi supporting Obama. He talks about campaign contributions.

NO WONDER OBAMA DIDN’T WANT “PUBLIC FINANCING”.

The entire tape is very interesting.

Gaddafi basically says OBAMA is lying through his teeth. Nothing he says it true. All of it is to get elected. Oops, getting called a liar by a ruthless dictator. That is just a reflection of how bad Obama is.

VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

NO-OBAMA1:59AMJul 9th 2008

WHY is it okay for the BO camp to belittle and disrespect Sen. McCain's heroic war record, but no one can even mention Obama's drug dealing and user days???!!???

Doesn't anyone else see how insane that is??? Not to mention the SLUMS your little "messiah" is responsible for in the south side of Chicago.

Obama's list of mess-ups is longer than you fans want to admit. Stop taking hits off the ol' "hope bong" and wake up!!! (Oh yeah, come to think of it, he hasn't uttered the word "hope" since he stole the nomination) ... what a guy!!!

God help us all...!!!

JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

Splash2:14AMJul 9th 2008

I don't know of another president who had to indulge the constant interference of past (and should I say soft) presidents, vice presidents, cabinet members and retired generals than this president. Most of them libs, of course. All of them used so they can still feel significant.

When Carter took office, loser that he was, Nixon and Ford let him govern. When Reagan and Bush 1 were in, Carter kept silent. When Clinton was in, Reagan & Bush 1 didn't so much as flick the ashes from their cigars.

So what is up with Carter, Clinton, Gore, Hamilton, Baker (the only real surprise), and now Christopher? And then there are all these retired generals who don't really have a clue about the current situation. Doesn't Baker realize that Baker/Hamilton report fell into the shadows of the surge's success?

All this amounts to is more liberal parades and charades. Nothing they do is for the people; all of it is for the glitz. Look at me! Look at me!!

Libs really should be careful with the limitations they try to put on the executive branch (and the congress) just because they don't like King George. Eventually the power shifts and the wings they clipped were their own.

History professes that libs don't like that. They will hate it if they did it to themselves.

THIS IS MIND BOGGLING

Before you vote for Barak Hussein Obama, it will be well advised that you read about the muslim "shariah law" and its impact on your freedoms and finance.

Read about Shariah-Compliant Finance - case pending brought by American investment group Cantor Fitzgerald against Dubai Islamic Bank.

One item of interest is the "zakat" or the "puriefied" funds to islamic charities which can land up with terrorists.

(Barak Hussein Obama was on the board of one of these muslim "charitable" firms in Chicago the Woods Foundation).

Here is the link!

THE MUSLIM SHARIAH LAW (frightening)

Sharia family law as the fundamental basis for discrimination against women in the Muslim world, including communities in the United Kingdom and USA: Sharia law replaces all other law:

1. The Muslim woman cannot marry without parental approval, worsening the problem of forced marriage;

2. marriages can be conducted without the presence of a bride, as long as the guardian consents, creating a climate for underage and early marriage;

3. Muslim women may only marry Muslim men. It gets worse.

4. A Muslim man can divorce his wife by repudiating her; they have no obligation to support a former wife, or her children after the divorce; women are prohibited from divorcing husbands without his consent; abuse is not grounds for a woman to end a marriage;

5. In matters of inheritance, sons are entitled to twice as much of an estate as daughters.

6. Divorced women must remain single. If they remarry they can lose custody of their children. There is no similar requirement for a man. Child custody often reverts to the father at a preset age, even if the father has been abusive.


It is impossible to reconcile this antiquated "law" with western law and democracy which must become subordinate to Sharia law.

This is Dhimmitude, an Islamic system of religious apartheid begun in the 7th century that forces all other religions and cultures to accept an inferior status once Muslims become the majority.

There is no due process under Sharia law.

Dont let him in the White House5:45PMJul 9th 2008

WHO IS THIS GUY OBAMA?

For political expediency, Obama has "changed" everything since he started his campaign.

Obama started pretending he is "one of us" and not some radical liberal from Chicago, who looks down at hard working white rural Americans.

1. Obama promised you CHANGE and change he will at a drop of a hat. Obama gets his people to do hatchet jobs for him, then he throws them under the bus.

2. Obama's aide Samantha Power was fired when she called Hillary a "monster" and said "Iraq withdrawal is not set in concrete" and drew criticism.

3. Obama's aide on "conflict resolution" Robert Malley talked to Hammas "secretly" and was canned when it became public knowledge.

4. Obama amputated his pastor/mentor/uncle Jeremiah off at the knees saying he can no more repudiate his church than his family.

5. Obama claimed to have cringed at his grandmothers fear of black men, but since her "rehabilitation" she is now a loving woman teaching Kansas values.

6. Obama approved of Gen. Wesley Clarks attack of American war hero Sen. John McCain but now distances himself from Gen. Clark.

7. Obama passionately sided with "Pelestinian suffering" in the Senate, yet when addressing the Israeli lobby he could have been a zealous Zionist.

8. Obama sided with Justice Scalia on Second Amendment right to a handgun, and right to execute child rapists - contrary to what he said before.

9. Obama sided with Pres. Bush on telecommunications "immunity from prosecution" for wiretapping citizens - contrary to what he said before.

10. Obama threw "finance reform" overboard to gain money-raising advantage over Sen. McCain.

11. Obama used to be against NAFTA, but now he is a "free-trader" even though he dissed his aide Austan Goolsbee for the same thing.

12. Obama successfully distanced himself from his friends MoveOn.org who "mocked" Gen. Patraeus (Gen. Betray-Us)

13. Obama got rid of his flag pin after 911 (so he is not seen taking sides) now the flag pin is back on again.

14. Obama's flaky committment to withdraw from Iraq in 16 months is now changed, he will "refine" his commitment after meeting with Gen. Patraeus.

15. Obama took Pres. Bush's faith based initiative and claimed it as his own.

WHAT is Obama up to? He has convinced his voters he is not "Black Militant Liberal Radical" but hey, that can CHANGE anytime!! After all, Obama is about CHANGE (can't expect anything less from a man with NO experience)

In 1981 America wanted Pres. Jimmy Carter GONE.
Americans had had enough of
21% interest rates,
13 % inflation and
7 % unemployment (compliments of Liberal Democrat Jimmy Carter).
Barak Hussein Obama is a Liberal Democrat like Pres. Jimmy Carter and we can safely predict
what is to come with a Liberal Democrat.
.
I SAY NO TO OBAMA.
I VOTE AMERICAN HERO JOHN MCCAIN.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

We need a Congressional declaration of war from now on.

No one should be given the power that Bush was given against the will of the American People. Bush has all of his College Buddies and family friends as Contractors in Iraq making billions of our tax dollars. We went to war to make his buddies rich and for him to get more rich after he leaves office.

IF WE NEED TO BE MORE CULTURAL GLOBALLY --- WE SHOULD LEARN TO SPEAK ITALIAN OR FRENCH. OBAMA IS SIMPLY TRYING TO GET VOTES FROM MEXICANS. HE IS A HYPOCRITICAL SNAKE-OIL SALESMAN.

OBAMA WAS "SELECTED" --- NOT "ELECTED". OBAMA CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

WE NEED TO REPLACE DEMS IN CONGRESS.

CHANGE?12:03PMJul 10th 2008

It was obvious that the DNC did not want Hillary to win the nomination. All you had to do was educate yourself on who is running the DNC. Then take a good hard look at who endorsed Obama. If you do that --- ding ding ding --- the light will come on. (Hint: ‘swimmer Teddy’ was one --- pig Pelosi was another --- Coward Dean another).

TALKING TO AN OBAMA SUPPORTER IS LIKE TALKING TO A TREE.

You ask, “Why are you voting for Obama?”

THEY say, “Change.”

You say, “OK, What change?”

THEY say, “You know, change.”

You reply, “NO, I don't know. What change?”

THEY say, “You know --- change everything.”

Damn --- Obama just programmed the word “change” into their small minds and, like robots, they just repeat it. They don't know why they're saying it; they just seem to be happy to say the word ‘change’.

Sooner or later, people will wake up and realize that Obama has just taken eloquently oratorical advantage of us!

I'm not convinced the ‘change’ he speaks of is the one we've been wishing for and is the right one for all of us.

Hillary was the better candidate.

VOTE McCAIN IN 2008 --- HILLARY IN 2012.

Pete -

If we had required a congressional declaration of war then Saddam would still be killing people by the millions, snubbing his nose at the UN and pocketing cash from the Oil for Food Program.

Presidents, no matter what party, need power to act,unimpeded by a sluggish partisanship of congress. They can take their lumps later.

I hear you all now, "Tell that to the 4,100 dead soldiers."

That is not the point. The point is keeping politics out of protecting our national interests. Something that congress has been unable to do lately.
