He looked completely awkard and out of place. There He was all dressed up in a business suit. He looked so distanced from the men and women he was visiting with and I'm sure he just died having to eat a plate of army food with them. ------------------------------------------------------- He got dressed up like that because he had to go and meet the leader of Afgan right after breakfast, ok?

I bet General Petraeus was quivering with excitement. Our tax dollars should be going to something more substantial than providing photo ops for "ego in a suit" Obama. Let him spend his campaign money on trips like these. After all, it is just a campaign stunt. I have been a democrat for 30 years but I will not support Obama. The White House is no place for training wheels. Once again the American electorate has chosen the less competent of the field. I guess we didn't learn anything from the election of G.W. Bush. Obama will be the democratic version of G.W. Bush. Oooooo! I bet General Petraeus was quivering with excitement.

No your wrong, In fact most troops don 't agree with his statement in the beginning of the year that our "lives are being wasted". 4 days in Iraq can't make you understand this war. No worries though because this comment will be attacked. Atleast I know in my heart what's right. We know how to win this war you don't. Problem is, the democrats and Americans "thinking" there doing the right thing wont allow us to win. Someone said our troops are excited to have barack here in Iraq.

This is how the liberal CNN news machine works. A split second later they could have all grimaced at the site of a bombed out house. But of coarse, the negro gets showcased at his best. If McCain had been in this series of frames, I'm sure the editor would choose the most unflattering shot of all.

What a great photo....I can only imagine how happy the General will be once Obama is in office. The Bush administration has broke one of the most basic military rules by constantly using the General for their personal achievements. All military personnel are suppose to remain neutral when it comes to politics. One interesting and smart thing that Obama has said in response to McCains contant insistance that he should speak to General Patraeus concerning the U.S. departure from Iraq, Senator Obama responded correctly that the Generals work for the President not the other way around, excellent point. The Commander and Chief is responsible for the security of America from all corners of the world not just the middle east. I salute you Senator Obama, you are so smart. WOW!
