2012 ELECTION

[Cracker]

Stupid Cain. Why run if you know you have that in your closet?


I found this amusing:

"Obama could be in a coma, or John McCain could be President, and the troops would still be coming home by the end of the year because that is what is required by the terms of the U.S.-Iraqi security agreement negotiated by President Bush in 2008. Obama wanted to keep troops in Iraq after the end of the year, but failed in negotiations with the Iraqis to extend immunity for U.S. troops beyond the end of the year. So instead of announcing that failure, he made lemonade out of lemons by announcing that he is bringing the troops home by the end of the year. That's like announcing that he will make the sun rise in the east tomorrow morning. Obama has no more control over when the troops come home than he has over the sun. The troops will come home when the U.S.-Iraqi security agreement says they will come home.

There is no foreign policy success here; there is no keeping of a campaign promise. It's just a matter of doing what the 2008 agreement says he must do -- get out by the end of the year. In fact, he had the authority under the 2008 agreement to unilaterally bring all the troops home long before this (as he had promised during the campaign) but he chose not to do that, and instead tried for more than a year (and is still trying) to keep troops in Iraq beyond the end of the year. And yet, all the way to the election, he and a compliant press will tell all us gullible folk that Obama has scored a great foreign policy victory and kept a campaign promise. Hardly."

Black folks tend to forget details, I guess.
