Obama Won't Say 'Mission Accomplished' In Iraq Speech
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Obama & Democrats campaigned on putting the wars on the books.
They promised that if they were given the power of the White House
and control of Congress, there would be no more supplemental
spending bills to fund the wars. It hasn't happened yet. And now,
what Obama is doing is moving US troops around, leaving 56,000
combat trained & ready troops in Iraq, and shifting combat
duties in Iraq to off-the-books private contractors. The money and
funding for them and their activities (including responsibility for
the atrocities they commit in our names) now is getting buried
within Pentagon and State Department budgets. Just when it seems
Obama couldn't possibly be any more deceitful without his most
ardent admirers waking up and realizing they've been duped, he is
and they go deeper into their slumber of denial. What is it about
Obama's most ardent admirers' make-up, their internal workings,
that inhibit natural survival skills? What is it about them, that
in spite of all evidence staring them in their faces, they can't
admit they've been mistaken about Obama? During the campaign, Obama
told people that they had to stay involved after the election, that
they couldn't just vote for him, go away for four years and expect
that he would do what they had hoped. He said that there were
powerful interests working against what the people wanted, and if
We The People wanted Obama to do our bidding, we would have to MAKE
HIM DO IT. Obama's most ardent supporters forget that those of us
who criticize Obama are only doing what he warned us needed to be
done. NOT to trust him. Since the election (and even before, with
his FISA vote), Obama has been deceptive, breaking every campaign
pledge and promise, conceding the positions of the left (getting
nothing in return), and hobbling real Democrats at every turn while
making Republicans and Blue Dogs stronger (and harder to beat in
2010 and 2012). Obama's most ardent supporters are the most
immediate problem, as they help him screw them (and us) over. Until
they wake up to these facts, they are the reason we don't get what
we all thought we were voting for when we voted Obama and Democrats
into office as the majority power in our government.
