President Obama took a few moments out of his busy European campaign to visit Iraq.
His comments to the troops appear to have taken less time than one of his typical answers to a question at a press conference. He made sure he reiterated his opposition to the war, I don’t know if he reiterated his opposition to the surge that made it possible for him to visit Iraq today. I doubt it.
“We have not forgotten what you’ve already done. We are grateful for what you will do, and as long as I’m in the White House you’re going to get the support that you need and the thanks that you deserve from a grateful nation. So thank you so much everybody, God bless you, God bless the United States of America,” he said.
Obama landed in Baghdad late Tuesday afternoon for his first trip to Iraq as president — his third overall. His visit comes as he begins to execute plans to shift U.S. troops from Iraq, a war he opposed as a candidate, to Afghanistan.
“There is still a lot of work to do here,” Obama said, but he praised the “significant political progress” he’s seen in Iraq.
Too bad he won’t admit that if he had his way, the “significant political progress” in Iraq wouldn’t have been possible.
I’m surprised that he had the balls to stop by. It was a weak appearance. He should have just flown by.
Earlier today a UFO load of aliens stopped by earth. They saw Barry and decided that there was no intelligent life on this planet and kept going.

I received an email from someone who was there. He said only about 100 showed up, not 700 or whatever was reporterd, even though there are thousands stationed there.
