     The talk of the town is all about how Barak Obama made a splashing success on his tour through the Middle East.   The amount of positive press is remarkable.  Some have even gone as far as to criticize Mr. McCain for an error in evaluating the influence of the surge in fermenting political reconciliation.  The truth is that half way through the surge the democrats were criticizing the “surge” for having reduced violence and crime, but not grown political unity.  I believe Mr. McCain was referring to the second half of the surge when different political parties in Iraq started contributing to Iraq’s unity.

     My concern is different.  Mr. Obama very clearly spoke out against the “surge”.  He said it would not work.  In addition, he stated that the emphasis should be on the Iraqi people and what they could do to rebuild their nation.

      Now, Mr. Obama is trying to present him self as a person who can deal with “military impact activities”.  He has not been to war.  He is not a graduate of a military college.  He has never been a supervisor in the military or any where else.  However, Mr. Obama is trying to show the people that he can analyze, assess and come up with quality decisions.

     When Mr. Obama said the surge would not work we went against the conventional wisdom of a military educated and trained experts.  The commanders were in favor of the surge.  Mr. McCain was in favor of the surge. 

     The surge worked.  Crime and violence is down in Iraq.  Building of infrastructure is regaining momentum.  In addition, opponents of Iraqi democracy in Iraq are cooperating with the acting Iraq government. 

     What does this mean?  It means an inexperienced uneducated individual i showing he is not worthy of the office of the president.  Mr. Obama said the surge would not work.  It did work.  Mr. Obama failed to listen to the experts who said the surge would work.  If America would of followed the opinion of Obama and people like him Iraq would a total mess right now and a bigger problem for America.

     I personally think it is a shame that a person who worked so hard for petty bi-partisan politics to actually try and fool Americans in to thinking he now can handle Iraq.  The military commanders and their subordinates have handled Iraq in a partnership with the people of Iraq.  This is why Iraq is improving and becoming a country the people of Iraq can be proud of today.

     All Mr. Obama and his kind in congress did was try to interfere with progress in Iraq by attempting to take the operational budget away from the soldiers.  Even when many encouraging signs were surfacing, the democrats in congress, Obama included, were trying to find ways to insure president George W. Bush failed.  In my opinion, this was nothing more than petty politics.

     I consider studying psychology as a plus in my life.  It allows me to read behavior and get a sense of an individual no matter what any one tells me.  Mr Obama has a very crisp flamboyant style when he is on “idealized person”.   His smile is a big grin.  He shakes his head in indignation as he crassly criticizes his critics.  In addition, his speech is smooth. 

     

     This is not the Obama that has been present during the interviews of late.  He won’t look at the interviewer or the camera.  His voice cracks.  He stumbles for the right words.  He makes errors when he speaks and very clumsily corrects him self.

     This are signs of a very nervous and uncomfortable person. He should be nervous.  Through out the summer of 2006 and all through out 2007 he was hard at work along with his co-politicians to sabotage any success for Bush.  Now, he knows Americans are not fools and they are going to judge him harshly for his petty politics.

    Left alone to his own devices in a new Al Qaeda environment Sadam was a very dangerous person.  At any time chemical or biological weapons would of been given to Al Qaeda by Sadam or Al Qaeda could of stolen these weapons from Sadam.  In addition, when you start something you have to finish it.  It is the only way to maintain your integrity.

     Obama was not smart enough to understand why Sadam posed a serious threat to America.  He complains about the image of America in the international community, yet he and his political allies wanted America to appear as a quitter.  Moreover, today that success is very visible in Iraq Mr. Obama continuous to contend that he has been right all the time. 

     However, the people who were right are the people who assessed the threat correctly and managed the crisis, with all its challenges, to victory.  Never quitting.  Never wavering.

     Therefore, the only thing Mr. Obama showed me this last week is that he does not mind playing the fool.  Only a fool would visit a place he tried to sabotage, meet with people he tried to make fail, and pretend that he is now on their side.

Right! He wants to have a civilian security force with the same power of our military. With that kind of power he will come and get you.
