Obama “Rocker” Like Tour Begins in Afghanistan
I will attack on the terror center on other side of border (in Pakistan), Obama
Presumed Democrat Presidential nominee Barack Obama was in Afghanistan for the first time Saturday. He did not repeat his criticism of Afghan president Karzai and his government, that it had “not gotten out of the bunker” and helped to organize the country or its political and security institutions. During his campaign Obama said , “if I become president I will withdraw the U.S. troops from Iraq and bring them to Afghanistan and I will attack on the terror center on other side of border (in Pakistan)” creating tensions and raising questions of attacking a sovereign nuclear armed Muslim nation a comment called dangerously naïve.
Obama did say of Afghanistan “This is a war that we have to win,” and said. “I will send at least two additional combat brigades to Afghanistan, and use this commitment to seek greater contributions - with fewer restrictions - from NATO allies.
“I will focus on training Afghan security forces and supporting an Afghan judiciary, with more resources and incentives for American officers who perform these missions.” By contrast, his opposition to the war in Iraq - and call for an end to the U.S. combat role - helped him overcome his rivals in the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Obama will also visit Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and England, traveling aboard a jet chartered by his presidential campaign, before his return to the United States. The weeklong trip marks his only foreign excursion as a presidential candidate; McCain has visited Canada, Colombia and Mexico, in part to highlight Obama’s opposition to trade deals with those allies.
ABC, NBC and CBS networks have been criticized for sending their news anchors with Obama while barely covering the McCain trips even after Columbia’s dramatic rescue of hostages held by the FARC terrorist organization which it was later revealed the U. S. played a big role in accomplishing.

Maybe The New Yorker Should Receive A Special Category Hypocrisy.com Horse’s A** Award.
Barack Obama’s campaign says a satirical New Yorker magazine cover showing the Democratic presidential candidate dressed as a Muslim and his wife as a terrorist is “tasteless and offensive.” The notoriously liberal magazine defends itself by saying its satirical cartoon cover raises the issues in such an absurd way that they can be more easily debunked and its editor said he was surprised by the furor.
Huffington Post, a left-leaning blog, said: “Anyone who’s tried to paint Obama as a Muslim, anyone who’s tried to portray Michelle as angry or a secret revolutionary out to get Whitey, anyone who has questioned their patriotism - well, here’s your image.”
The cartoon also features an American flag burning in a fireplace behind the couple, and that itself is cited by conservatives as offensive in the extreme. The whole thing is tasteless and foolish exemplifying a magazine’s’ staff run amuck.
