8. aw one picture tells nothing |
|
Chuck could have smiled just two seconds before. That's why I prefer video--gives a more realistic picture.

9. Obama has the ability to make everybody look relaxed. |
|
Hagel looks like he is having the time of his life watching the new President.

15. Obama needs to talk to more people than Petraeus... |
|
He has a political agenda. Find out from the troops why, exactly why, the violence has dropped? Is it the boots on the streets or is it the dollars in the pockets of the tribal leaders, including al Sadr? This is important information that we need to know. If the dollars are shut off, what then? How long are we expected to pay these bribes to keep from killing us and themselves??

16. I'm certain Obama (and Hagel and Reed) know about the payoffs. |
|
They know that Petraeus is just following orders and "making it happen" however he has to--and they also know how difficult it will be to get our troops out, because all the "surge" did was to temporarily placate the trouble-makers. It will get ugly, I fear, but I think Obama is prepared to accept that.

Chuck Hagel is really attractive.

19. Why is it in every pic Obama is not wearing a vest, but McCain is vested w/massive troop protection? |

Is General Petraeus the Paris Hilton of the military? It's like you can't mention military without his name somewhere.
