What's Obama going to tell Gates about Iraq?

The President-elect will keep his mouth shut and listen to his Secretary of Defense and Joint-Chiefs if he has a brain in his head.

Why the f**k did Obama put the Microsoft guy in charge of Iraq? What does that geek know about combat? Who's next, Stephen Hawking for Secretary of Transportation?

It was made public by him (Obama) today in his news release on his cabinet appointments, that he will be the one that is responsible and also the only one that will be making the decisions. But then again he has already said what he was going to do about the war in Irag. Guess he really doesn't need anyone with experience. He has the plan for change. I guess that is why he is bringing the old political figures back in. You ask what the definition of insanity is..."doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results"!

The Obama foreign policy team should start fleshing out the THE OBAMA DOCTRINE….(1) Overarching goal of global peace, harmonious coexistence of diverse nations, religions and political interests…the scourge of terrorism must be eliminated. (2) US-led invasion of Iraq was a costly mistake. (3) Expeditious, orderly withdrawal of foreign forces from Iraq. (4) Sources of terrorism -- for all nations -- are mainly within the borders of Pakistan. (5) Pakistan government lacks the ability and the resources to eliminate these sources of terrorism. (6) The sources of terrorism are highly localized within the borders of Pakistan while the targets and victims of terrorists are global. (7) Global efforts are needed to eliminate the sources of terrorism harboring inside Pakistan. (8) Government and peace-loving people in Pakistan should be coopted, but counter-terrorism efforts must occur quickly, massively even if they are unwilling to cooperate.

dog, I really hope you aren't THAT stupid. If so we're all in trouble. You voted for obama didn't you?
