Obama on secret trip to Afghanistan
The Cambodia News.Net Saturday 19th July, 2008
US Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is in Afghanistan after flying out on an unannounced trip.
At the start of a major international tour, Senator Obama has secretly touched down in Afghanistan to speak to US troops and government officials.
Obama visited Bagram air force base in eastern Afghanistan Saturday as part of a congressional delegation that includes two other U.S. senators, Republican Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Democrat Jack Reid of Rhode Island. The U.S. military says commanders briefed the lawmakers about the war effort.
Afghan officials say Obama will meet with President Hamid Karzai during his visit.
The Illinois senator has spoken recently about the need to do more to help Afghanistan, with Taliban violence worsening.
He suggested during the week that the United States should deploy about 10,000 more troops to Afghanistan as it downscales in Iraq.
Before his trip, Obama told reporters he wanted to talk with commanders in both major war zones to get a sense of their concerns.
In a major foreign policy address, Obama reiterated his promise to get most US combat troops out of Iraq within 16 months, and to focus on Al Qaeda havens in Pakistan and worsening conditions in Afghanistan.
Mr Obama is also due to visit Iraq during his tour of the Middle-East and Europe.
He is expected to be in Jordan, before travelling on to Israel, the West Bank, Germany, France and Britain.
In a radio address Saturday, Republican candidate John McCain criticized Obama for announcing a war strategy before his trip.
Senator McCain said that apparently Obama is confident he will not learn anything during his tour that might change his position.

Obama on secret trip to Afghanistan
In January 2001 when lil bush took control and dictated his reigning terror on the Peoples of Iraq by bombing Bagdad and killing folks in Bomb Shelters, did the terrorism he caused, begin the wars we are now saddled with?
Were the attacks of 911 a retaliation for his attacks on Iraq that began 8 months earlier? Obviously preperations the for 911 attacks began prior to the bush attacks. But then the Bush Attacks were also planned prior to January 2001. The Plannings for those attacks began way back in 1995 in the halls of the PNAC Gang.
So how does the history work out in this article?
Obama has joined the Fray! He will continue the confrontation Process, and not seek change and solution! Remember he was about change?
Well, we have seen the People Funding Campaign revert back to the Corporate Briber Funding, so that is one change that went to the garbage disposer.
The Talking to those we have created disputes with seeking resolution, has been backtracked to the Corporate Policy of confrontation rather than resolution. At the same time frame this adnounced garbage canning, came the advertisement for continued uninterrupted support for Israel, and the retreat from both sides need to work on resolution.
And now we have an Increase in attacks on Afghanis. How we got into the mess bears no resolution reasoning today! The increase in confrontation is a last resort Policy, and serves what constituants? Corporate! The 'defense' industry. And along side of Afghanistan, Pakistan has been 'Added'!
More 'pilgrams' have been added to the cadre of opponents! Virtually insuring the 21st Century will experience a full 100 years of killing and warmongering for Profits!
Thus giving a new meaning to the Peoples Candiate!

More secret trips
I agree with galldaj. We need to hold firm and get as much money as possible out of Iraq and move on to the next despotic area of the world to make our fortune. But let’s not give away any hints.

This forum provides galljdaj with the only avenue to vent his frustrations. I have seen his posts for years and have yet to see any positive attitudes in him. Galljdaj, find you a woman and get laid so you wont be so desperate!

Garjbagej my hero
Excellent reviews of Garjbagej. So what if he can’t say anything positive and can’t get laid by a woman (Anon 3:21 p.m.), so what that he makes fun of Cindy the blond ( heard she’s a babe but that would not interest you), so what if he does not understand Jimmy Sizzle heated point of view, you are still Garjbagej the hero. Do you think Garjbagej that you could come out of your cocoon and walk the streets showing your bear knuckles? Nah, he rather played with, excuse me, by himself!

Try again Mr.G 07-19-08, 05:40 PM |
Still can't get it right
No galjdaj you do not present a positive point of view. If you really want to succeed in presenting rather than pushing your ideas then you need to at the very least acknowledge the pros and cons of an article. You state your opinions with mumble jumble language that lacks depth and proper use of the English language. You prefer to use slang with the “lil” term as an example. You repeatedly try to personalize your poor examples of reason by using words like coward and thief. You could serve yourself better by keeping your story short and straight to the point. Then maybe and only maybe you could draw an audience towards you that could debate the topics in an educational manner.

If we read above and below Cindy's 'lines', there is a shortage...
... , especially short are those good paying Jobs of Manufacturing. Our Manufacturing sector has gong global and into Importation!
Doing so has put these Wealthy Citizens at greater risk in Foreign Countries, and Whats needed is more Protection for those Wealthy Stipminners! More Police!
Policing within the US HAS SKYROCKETED in numbers of Jobs! Our Politicians tend to mislead the Citizenry as Policing is not an industry! it is overhead, useless expense in an Honest Society! Absolutely not needed if the Citizens live by the Rule of Law. The Criminal Behaviors adapting to to 'do whatever you can' Rather than taking on responsible behaviors that do not steal from their neighbors, there is indeed a need for the additional policing.
However as overhead and as an expense it brings in No Money! It adds Nothing to the National Economy! Its like flushing an unused toilet just because you walked by it! Just a waste of water purification.
So as was pointed out sarcastically steal all the riches we can while were 'policing', is the only addition to Our Economy.
So has lil bush increased Our National Economy? Hardly! He has flushed the National toilets like never before!
Jimmy Cindy has a long long way to go to find the rainbow gold seemed to be believe in!

I would love to read the analysis...
... , of poster 3:21 pm.
First off I would my postings regarding the article materials is normal for my posts. Poster 3:21 pm has decided that My position is negative, and therefore the 'Materials' presented in the article and other posters is postive.
I have presented an argument that says the reverse is in fact what has fallen on the US Citizens. In other words I want a positive result for the citizens,
So provide an argument using analysis to show the negative you claim I am engaged in!
And for the lil leaguer, Explain to me what you think I missed from Jimmy. And just what was the fun, you understood, I made of cindy.
You see I understand quite differently my post regarding their posts. So if I missed it, I would like to know! I certainly would correct my post.

wE KNOW GALLJADAJ IS A RADICAL MUSLIM THE WAY HE EXPRESS HIMSELF.HE DO LIKE ALL THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

So the analysis is one word 'no'!
And instead of the Process based on Information and logical thought, the poster changes names, and postures advice not asked for!
You have earned a failure in analysis and logic.
Then there is the matter of the false embelishment.
Then there is the matter of your complaint of not knowing what the manufacturing sector of the US is about or doing! Its munbo jumbo to you and so its my fault!
My, you are way over your head, when you can’t prove your point with all the material right there in front of you!
