The drive-by media is amidst a Obamagasm with their coverage of Barack Hussein's trip to Iraq.  The so-called "journalists" have been waxing poetic over the Obamessiah's trip.  The American electorate will either be moved by them, or they will instead vote for the only candidate who championed the surge and hung his proverbial hat on its success. 

The Iraqis are a whole different matter.  How do they really feel about Obama?  Or anyone in the ME?  I don't believe a dadgum thing the Always Barack Network, the Columbia Barack Network, or the National Barack Company has to say about that aspect of this story.  Instead, I'd rather depend on what Iraqis have to say;

"Obama insists that he wants to end the war, as if that would achieve victory. This too indicates a lack of understanding of the nature of the war. Victory in a war on terror requires first and foremost that the ideology of extremists be made unattractive in the hearts and minds of the peoples of the region. The people are the center of gravity in a war of this type, and the winner is the one that attracts the people to his side. This goal can only be achieved by presenting a successful model for stability, liberty, and prosperity; a model that proves beyond a doubt that the people have a path that can lead to a bright future — a choice other than status-quo dictatorships and suicidal ideologies of extremism.

Terrorism cannot be defeated by killing Bin Laden or even killing every single existing member of Al-Qaeda, especially considering the decentralized structure of terrorist organizations. Terrorism can be defeated by offering a model for a bright future that gives people who have suffered for so long hope and saves them from despair.

Iraq is now closer than ever to becoming this model, and victory in this chapter of the war is within hand…unless Obama succeeds in ending the war his way."

Every time I hear Obama say, "end this war", I want to scream.  BHO, no one "ends" a war.  They either win it or lose it!  If you had been president on 9/11, Iraqis would still be victims of rape rooms, wood chippers, etc.  Iraqis see through the sham.

"This visit, for Obama, is just a necessary evil — part of an electoral campaign and not a sincere fact-finding mission. The fact that Obama made Afghanistan his first stop (after arriving in Kuwait, just next door to Iraq) suggests that it’s his electoral campaign that sets his priorities when it comes to the war on terrorism, not the actual map and course of the war.

Obama is lucky in that his host, Prime Ministe Maliki, is also going through an election season. He’s even luckier that Maliki has been convinced by the close circle around him that Obama is going to win the American presidential race. The state-owned Al-Sabah quoted a senior official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject, as saying: “The change in the prime minister’s position has to do with his own perception of the political developments in the United States…Maliki thinks that Obama is most likely to win in the presidential election and that he will withdraw his country’s troops from Iraq as he pledged in his campaign.” The official added that Maliki sees that “he’s got to take preemptive steps before Obama gets to the White House.”

The bottom line in this GWOT is the Holy Land.  Iraq is part of that Holy Land the Lord God gave to His people in the old testament of the Bible.  Satan knows it, and is using the Islamist accordingly.  It will be up to God to END this war, not Obama, and he should never underestimate the Iraqi people, as illustrated here.  I urge you to read Omar's entire post.
