How Come Obama Wasn’t Wearing Body Armor In Iraq Today?

Remember when John McCain went to Iraq over a year ago and praised the security progress there by saying he was able to walk down a street where he couldn’t have before?  The left’s response to that was to point out that McCain strolled down that street in full Kevlar with a security detail of 100 troops and three combat helicopters.

Well today Barack Obama landed in Baghdad and was seen strolling about without any Kevlar on at all.

It’s worth noting that when other government big-wigs have landed in Baghdad photos of them in Kevlar have abounded.  Condoleezza Rice, for instance, was seen wearing Kevlar in Baghdad and the leftists used that as a talking point to declare Iraq a lost cause.

So can we say that Iraq isn’t a lost cause, and that the surge has worked, now that Barack Obama can walk around the Baghdad airport without body armor?

Yes we can.

Didn’t you know… Obama is bullet proof.

Besides, they lob mortars into camp freedom, not bullets.

Why is there a black officer in this photo op? No problem, I am just curious if they made sure he was there for distribution back home?

Why does he have his hand on Petraeus back when he condemned him last year and has refused to credit him with the success of the surge?

Just asking!


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Yea, aren’t the negros suppose to be in the kitchen or on point? And right in front of Petraeus. Heads will roll for this!

I had the same observation.
Surely, many others will as well

Maybe it’s just another part of his stage-managed visit.
Here’s some more on that:

The only legitimate role of government with regard to economics is to prevent fraud and provide a remedy- civil and criminal penalties- in case of fraud.

People have the mistaken notion that the free market has no rules.  But it most certainly does.  All our problems are due to government meddling.

Next thing they will have is a photo op and Obama parting the red sea. (I am rolling my eyes as well)

You must try staying off the drugs when comenting here, sometimes you sound foolish!

I learned that from you guys. Your suppose to cut one line from the post and make it sound like the entire post was about what you cut and past. Without really addressing what the person was really saying. Robert and proof do it best, im just learning. How am I doing so far?

post was about what you cut and past.

Or in this example you would simply point out that “past” is spelled wrong and then through in some insult.

Except for Robert doing it on occasion, no one here does that. Even Trollitized quotes more than a sentence.


For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of my country.

robot108, kneehighman, and rebatex.
Nice race baiting. Classy.

implying that there is an underlying race based motive in the actions of others towards the group baited, where none in fact exists

Pitiful. You guys must be pretty insecure, eh?

Obama doesn’t need body armor. If he were to get killed he would just resurrect before our eyes as the holy ghost.
