Reason why Obama didn't visit injured troops.

Originally posted by RRconservative


Part of the DOD policy is no media, and no entourage, only a military still photographer.

No media hype? No photo op? NO VISIT!

Obama clearly made the decision not to waste time visiting the troops if he could not gain from it politically. Very sad.

Or that's just speculation by you.

How do you know he didn't have things to do, why aren't you over there right now if your so compasionate.


Last time I checked this guy was trying to get them home to their families, but you know, I guess that isn't enough....

Actually, Mccain sent two sons off to war, one as an enlisted Marine.

There is no double standard. And when did Obama go to Iraq before? I'll have to look that up...

To answer your question, Obama's previous visit to Iraq was in early January of 2006.

Obama is an antiChrist. He is only in it for personal gain.

reply to post by mental modulator

He/she is referring to a claim made by Alex Jones that they are training teenagers to act as security and spies for the upcoming police state. Of course the only source that you will find has ties to prison planet.

WHOA? Why? Because one of our enemies was named Hussein?


Did you know that one of our best allies in the ME was King Hussein of Jordan?


Your type of ignorance is the cancer that is eating America.

Let's think about this...even if you don't like the man, he is a brilliant politician and has worked continually on grass roots communtiy service projects. If he could safely have visited the men while following the stringent rules, you don't think the public would have heard about it? With or without press or pictures? . Do you think he has gotten where he is by making what would appear to be such a stupid blunder? Have you read the story of Peter and the Wolf?

Stop me if you've heard this one:

From a soldier in Afghanistan ....

Hello everyone,

As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along
that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit
to "The War Zone". I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the
plan and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the
Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers
where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as
he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the
vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military
personnel can play basketball or work out in with weight s) so he could take
his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity
to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just
here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their
candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to
come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the
freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the
NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of
the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just
don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It
was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom
for him and our great country.

If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know
what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all
fake.

In service,

CPT Jeffrey S. Porter

Battle Captain

TF Wasatch

American Soldier

Got this as an email from a buddy and to be honest, I wouldn't put it past Obama to do that.

reply to post by Echo3Foxtrot

This e-mail is being disputed, and the author has even admitted it was wrong.

Porter’s reply declined the interview request, but said:

“I am writing this to ask that you delete my e-mail and not forward it, after checking my sources some of the information that was put out in my e-mail was wrong. This e-mail was meant only for my family. Please respect my wishes and delete the e-mail and if there are any blogs you have my e-mail portrayed on I would ask if you would take it down too.”

When contacted, Tiffany Porter who identified herself as his wife, said: “There were discrepancies in the e-mail, but I am not at liberty to say more.”

The Army refuted the accuracy of the account of the Obama visit.

“These comments are inappropriate and factually incorrect,” Bagram spokesman Lt. Col. Rumi Nielson-Green told the New York Daily News.

Officer: Part of anti-Obama e-mail was wrong

The source was from this thread...

Lying Liars & the OBAMA EMAIL-FRAUD

And was also covered on Obama's website...

"This is another viral e-mail falsehood. The author now says it's not true; the Army says it's not true; and video and photos show Obama shaking hands with troops and eating breakfast with them as well."

Fight the Smears: The truth about Barack's foreign trip

You can't have an officer being political. He obviously got pulled to the side by his superiors and was forced to do an "about face."

Back to Obama not visiting the injured troops.....McCain recently ran an ad about it. Very effective ad!

Situations like this show what Obama is all about....himself.
