He also ate breakfast with the soldiers so it doesn't exactly appear that he "shunned" anyone....

This is all lies and has been posted among countless websites by some brainwashed right wing shill.

In reality though GWB really did use the US military purely as a publicity stunt, arriving on an aircraft carrier on an A6 and marching onto the flight deck in a nomex flight suit trying to pretend he actually was one of them instead of a draft dodging coward.

Isn't it also true he hasn't been to one funeral and also banned families of the deceased from releasing footage of their kids funeral.

What a classy guy.

McCain isn't telling the truth about this. He's just saying this to get votes. I don't think he has any intentions of removing the troops from Iraq. If he wins, he plans to be there for decades.

..Guess Again - Walking Hand In Hand - FULLY ENDORSED BY SENIOR BUSH.

..First, it was to go after those responsible for 9/11

Then it was to remove Saddam Hussein from power and track down his weapons of mass destruction

Then it was to bring stability to the region.

Then it was to have free elections and bring he factions together.

Then it was to allow Iraq to be a model state for the Middle East.

Then it was to create a road to peace in Israel through Iraq.

Then it was to give Iraqis "more time" to organize their government.
.
..AND now it is to reduce the number of members of al Qaeda in Iraq (which was zero when it all started).
.
(February 4, 2007)
In April 2007, accompanied by several members of Congress, Senator McCain made a surprise visit to Baghdad to assess the surge, had a "stroll" through a market in the Iraqi capital and then held a news conference where he discussed what he found: "Things are better and there are encouraging signs. I've been here many times over the years. Never have I been able to drive from the airport. Never have I been able to go out into the city as I was today. The American people are not getting the full picture of what's happening here today."
.
..
...
..
.
The next evening, NBC's Nightly News provided further details on that "stroll." The Senator and Congressmen were accompanied by "100 American soldiers, with three Blackhawk helicopters and two Apache gunships overhead." (In addition, the network said, still photographs provided by the military revealed that McCain and his colleagues had been wearing body armor during their entire stroll.)

Latest Polls Released:
RCP Average (of all polls) 07/07 - 07/24 -- 46.1 41.9 Obama +4.2

FOX News 07/22 - 07/23 900 RV 41 40 Obama +1.0 (Sean - eat your heart out)
NBC/WSJ 07/18 - 07/21 1003 RV 47 41 Obama +6.0
Rasmussen Tracking 07/22 - 07/24 3000 LV 49 44 Obama +5.0

CBS News/NY Times 07/07 - 07/14 1462 RV 45 39 Obama +6.0
ABC News/Wash Post 07/10 - 07/13 LV 49 46 Obama +3.0
Reuters/Zogby 07/09 - 07/13 1039 LV 47 40 Obama +7.0

So, they all show Obama with a slight lead in popular vote nationally, but it gets better;

1. Barack leads in State polls in 27 states.

2. Barack would get 332 electoral votes to McCains 183 if the election were held tomorrow.

3. Barack is ahead in 15 of the 21 states having double digit (10 or more) electoral votes. His average lead in those 15 heavyweight states is by 10.3 points, so things are unlikely to change dramatically in those states.

4. Vegas odds now show Barack Obama as a -230 prohibitive favorite, while McLame is a +160 longshot.

Great opportunity for all you intellectually challenged McLame backers to put your money where your mouths are.

Meanwhile, it's OBAMA TIME!

GO OBAMA!

WASHINGTON - The latest chain e-mail smear against Barack Obama: He "blew off" troops at an Afghan base to shoot hoops for a publicity photo.
The letter was apparently written by a Utah Army National Guard intelligence officer in a linguist unit at Bagram Airfield who claimed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee was rude to G.I.s.
"As the soldiers where [sic] lined up to shake his hand he blew them off," wrote the Task Force Wasatch "battle captain."
But angry Army brass debunked the Obama-bashing soldier's allegations, which went viral Thursday over the Web and on military blogs such as Blackfive.
The e-mail claims Obama repeatedly shunned soldiers on his way to the Clamshell - a recreation tent - to "take his publicity pictures playing basketball."
"These comments are inappropriate and factually incorrect," said Bagram spokesman Army Lt. Col. Rumi Nielson-Green, who added that such political commentary is barred for uniformed personnel.
Obama didn't play basketball at Bagram or visit the Clamshell, he said. Home-state troops were invited to meet him, but his arrival was kept secret for security reasons.
"We were a bit delayed ... as he took time to shake hands, speak to troops and pose for photographs," Nielson-Green said.
E-mails to the officer who made the charges and a call to his wife were not returned.

Obama Birth Certificate TOTAL FORGERY FAKE FRAUD

Check it out yourself. You Democrats can’t stand the truth!

http://firedoglake.com/2008/07/05/obama-birth...

An exhaustive in-depth investigation conducted by right wing citizen journalists, digital imaging experts, and Google users has established convincingly that Barack Hussein Obama's alleged "birth certificate" is an incontrovertible fraud. It is clear that Barack Hussein Obama is ineligible to become president and is in fact an illegal immigrant and that is only the first and indeed least terrifying of the implications of this shocking scandal.

The image to the left is the one posted at the far-left liberal "blog" named "Daily Kos," run by one "Markos Moulitsas" (pictured here); the title of the blog is misleading as it is updated more often than "daily" and "Kos" is not the real name of its proprietor ("Kos" is in fact the Middle Arabic word for "Che"). "Kos," or "Che," posted this so-called "birth certificate" on the command of the Barack Hussein campaign, probably at gunpoint.

The forgery is laughable on its face.(1) It is well known that Hawaii did not have typefaces in 1961, the year of "Barack Hussein Obama's" "birth." There are several typefaces in the "birth certificate"; once these are transferred from Photoshop to Microsoft Word, the tell-tale traces of kerning become clear to even the most disbelieving eye.(2) I for one have always been skeptical that someone as wildly ambitious as Barack Hussein Obama would have chosen to be born in Hawaii. No successful presidential candidate has ever come from Hawaii (though it was often remarked that Warren G. Harding suspiciously reeked of pineapple). Hawaii has few if any electoral votes and it is unclear if the climate there is even capable of supporting life -- human life, at any rate.(3) Other contemporary birth records from the "state" of Hawaii feature the official "state" logo and mascot.

Responsible speculation continues below.

Only the most rabid of partisans would place their blind trust in the candidacy of a man who cannot even prove he was born. What evidence do we have that this "Barack Hussein Obama" even exists? After all, detailed investigation reveals that his name, "Barack Hussein Obama," is an anagram for either "Dread Cthulu," or else, even more frighteningly, "Tom Boerwinkle." Why, his "father's" "race" is listed as "African," when he was really Black! Ha! HAH! Heh. Ho. Hum.

Can we afford to ignore that this alleged "Barack Hussein Obama" is very likely a being who has lain for ages ucounted in stone houses in His great city of R'lyeh, preserved by the spells of a mighty undead God-being for a glorious resurrection when the stars and the earth might once more be ready for Him to secure the Democratic presidential nomination? Or perhaps he is the reincarnated dark-miened tyrant Xerxes, sent to compel all Sparta as well as Heartland Religious Values Voters to kneel before him and render unto him tribute and the very flower of their womanhood!(Spartans loved them their womenfolk, you know.)

These are serious questions, and it is incumbent upon the so-called "Barack Hussein Obama" to immediately produce valid copies of his "birth certificate," driver's license, immunization record, junior high school report card, passport, hair follicles, toenail clippings, grocery lists, shoe size, marriage license, firstborn child, Master Card number, bowling scores, and other crucial documents and testimonies so that we can pore over them in minute, even ludicrous detail in order to disprove something we will insist on believing anyway. This is, after all, America.
