Hint- number of troops over there, how long it takes to mobilize all those troops, amount of equipment over there, amount of time it takes to mobilize resources for removing all of it, this is the government-imagine the red tape, paperwork, nonsense etc that has to happen

And that doeesn't even take into account the question- should we get out right away, leave them high and dry after making such a mess or shall we stay a bit to clean up some?

Considered the following, shouldn't be be concerned ?

Quote from Barack Obama's book, Dreams Of My Father:
"The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam."

From 'Dreams of my Father', "In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school"
"I studied the Koran.."

From 'Audacity of Hope: "Lolo (Obama's step father) followed a brand of Islam ...."I looked to Lolo for guidance".

From 'The Audacity Of Hope, "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

From The Audacity Of Hope, "We are no longer just a Christian nation," "We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers."

"Nobody is suffering more than the PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi people" Barack Obama. http://www2.nysun.com/comments/54453

Hussein Obama's biological father abandoned him at 2 years of age, but then his mother married a practicing Muslim, Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo, in 1967 and she and Obama lived with him until 1972.
Obama spent some very formative years under the influence of a practicing Muslim. There is little doubt that his Muslim stepfather did his duty (as required of Muslim fathers) and lead him down the path of Islam.
Obama states in his book, "Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share. It was to Lolo that I turned to for guidance and instruction,” Obama recalled. “He introduced me as his son.”
He also states he went to a Muslim school and studied the Koran.
http://www.examiner.com/a-534540~Can_a_past_of_Islam_change_the_path_to_president_for_Obama_.html

There is little doubt that Obama was a Muslim during those years when he was under the influence of his stepfather.

And what about all the years after that until he decided it was expedient to join a Christian church because of his political aspirations?
He states that in Wright's 'church' one day he 'made the walk' down the aisle and joined the church.
But anyone who knows anything about black religion knows that's not the way it's done. You have to be baptised and the whole bit.
Where is his baptismal record? No one has ever been able to locate one. (just as the 'divorce' record of Obama Sr. from his first 'wife' in Africa before he 'married' Obama Jr.'s mother, and his 'marriage' record to her cannot be found)
A call was made by a Muslim man to Obama's church. He asked if a Muslim could join. He was told, 'Yes. We have many Muslim members'.

Obama’s Muslim connection

1. Obama’s father was a Muslim polygamist.

2. Obama’s step-father was a Muslim.

3. In Indonesia he was registered in school as a Muslim.

4. Occasionally he went to the Mosque for prayers

5. He took religious classes and studied the Koran in Arabic.

Freedom’s Enemy reports

According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama’s teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. His teacher was named Maimunah and she lived in the Puncak area, the Cianjur Regency.

“I remembered that he had studied “mengaji” (recitation of the Quran)” Tine said.

Our guy in Jakarta writes: “The actual usage of the word ‘mengaji’ in Indonesian and Malaysian societies means the study of learning to recite the Quran in the Arabic language rather than the native tongue. “Mengagi” is a word and a term that is accorded the highest value and status in the mindset of fundamentalist societies here in Southeast Asia. To put it quite simply, ‘mengaji classes’ are not something that a non practicing or so-called moderate Muslim family would ever send their child to.

The Obama Campaign told the LA Times he wasn’t a “practicing Muslim.”
(3/14/2007)

But his official website says: “Obama Has Never Been A Muslim, And Is a Committed Christian” (11/12/2007)

In 2007, classmate Rony Amiris describes young Barry as enjoying playing football and marbles and of being a very devout Muslim. Amir said, “Barry was previously quite religious in Islam.

“We previously often asked him to the prayer room close to the house. If he was wearing a sarong he looked funny,” said Rony.

Amiris now the manager of the Bank Mandiri, Jakarta, recently said, “Barry was previously quite religious in Islam. His birth father, Barack Hussein Obama was a Muslim economist from Kenya. Before marrying Ann Dunham, Hussein Obama was married to a woman from Kenya who had seven children. All the relatives of Barry’s father were very devout Muslims”

Rony extrapolates further, that Obama at one point had to change his religion if he ever intended later to run for the office of President of the United States because America would never elect a Muslim to the be President of the United States.

Also in 2007, Emirsyah Satar, CEO of Garuda Indonesia, was quoted as saying, “He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a ’sarong’, at that time.”

“He was quite religious in Islam but only after marrying Michelle, he changed his religion.”

6. His grandfather, after whom he was named Hussein, was one of the first Muslim converts in his village.

He “fiercely devoted to Islam.” He had at least 3 wives: Helima, who had no children, Akuma who gave birth to Sarah Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Auma Obama.

“What your grandfather respected was strength — discipline.” Obama quoted his grandmother, Sarah, as telling him. “This is also why he rejected the Christian religion.

In “Dreams,” he inadvertently sheds some light on his formative years and the political views of his mother, an anthropologist and Islamophile who hated America and subsequently goes native.

His grandmother raised him in Honolulu. He recently described her as a “typical white person” who fears blacks. Now, the Chicago Tribune reports “the Obama campaign declined to make [his white grandmother] available.”

All because she is white and Barry Obama is a “black” candidate for president.

Although Obama claims Senior was an atheist, Senior was buried as a Muslim.

Obama Senior also had three sons by another woman who are all Muslim.

Obama’s family connections to Islam would endure, however. For example, his brother Roy opted for Islam over Christianity, as Obama recounted when describing his 1992 wedding.

“The person who made me proudest of all,” Obama wrote, “was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.”

Abongo “Roy” Obama (Obama's brother) is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

In Kenya while he was a Senator, Obama stumped for his cousin, opposition leader Raila Odinga. Odinga is the son of Senior’s sister, a direct first cousin and nephew of Obama’s father.

August 29, 2007, Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders signed a pact that if elected, he (Odinga) would force Islam on the country. He lost and instigated riots that resulted in thousands of death- including the burning of a Christian church with 50 people inside.

In an interview with the New York Times, published on April 30th, Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama’s younger half sister, told the Times, “My whole family was Muslim, and most of the people I knew were Muslim.”

Obama describes describes his new found “Christian” faith as: (1) Suspicious of dogma (2) Without any monopoly on the truth (3) Nontransferable to others (4) Infused with a big healthy dose of doubt, and (5) Indulgent of and compatible with all other religions.

Muslims view Obama as first a Muslim and then as an apostate Muslim. He faces the death penalty in nearly the entire Islamic world.

On February 27th, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”

In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.”

The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:

“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no G-d but Allah
I witness that there is no G-d but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet… ”

According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

An American Expat in Southeast Asia blog, written by an American who has lived in Indonesia for 20 years and has met with both the Taliban and al-Qaeda, contains the following:

“Barack Hussein Obama might have convinced some Americans that he is no longer a Muslim, but so far he has not convinced many in the world’s most populous Muslim country who still see him as a Muslim and a crusader for Islam and world peace.”

“Barack Hussein Obama’s race, his staunch opposition to the war in Iraq, his sympathy to Islam and Muslims worldwide and his Muslim heritage receive the Indonesian media coverage. There is no mention of his apostasy.”

“A good example of how some of the Indonesian media is reporting on Obama’s religion can be found in the following.”

“What I found interesting in the article was the use of the word ‘mengaku’ when refering to Obama’s conversion from Islam to Christianity. The word ‘mengaku’ in Indonesian means “claimed” and as such leaves the insinuation to the native Indonesian reader being that Obama might actually still be a Muslim.

But this is how Indonesians see Obama, they don’t see him as an apostate at all, they see him as a crusader for the cause of Islam.”

On Feb 15/08 Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry called Obama’s Church I then asked her what I needed to do to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I replied, “That sounds easy. One last question please. IF I AM MUSLIM AND I BELIEVE IN PROPHET MOHAMMED, PEACE BE UPON HIM AND I ALSO BELIEVE IN JESUS, PEACE BE UPON HIM, DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP MY ISLAMIC FAITH TO BE A MEMBER IN YOUR CHURCH?”

SHE ANSWERED, “NO. WE HAVE MANY MUSLIM MEMBERS IN OUR CHURCH.” It is important to note that Muslims would not attend church.

“YOUR CHURCH HAS DONE GREAT HARM TO THIS COUNTRY BY COVERING A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING AND THAT WOLF IS SENATOR BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA.”

Pastor Wright is an Islamophile and visited Khaddafi with Farrakhan.

Obama’s foreign policy favors accommodation to Islam

1 He surrounded himself with advisers who believe that US foreign policy is controlled by Jews and this must end.

2. Obama plans to organize a Muslim summit

3. Obama Defends Columbia’s Ahmadinejad Invite

4. Obama; I Would Still Meet With Ahmadinejad

5. Obama: Don’t Stay in Iraq Over Genocide

6. Barack Obama Would Let Shoaib Choudhury Die

7. “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds change in an ugly direction”. BARACK OBAMA from The Audacity Of Hope.

'The Audacity of Hope' is entitled in Indonesia, “jihad To The Whitehouse”.

8. Obama’s Nation of Islam Staffers

9. Obama Served On Board That Funded Pro-PLO/Hamas Arab Muslim Nazi Group

10. Obama - Rezko - Auchi - Saddam Hussein?

11. Obama’s Church Gives Platform to Hamas Terrorists, Questions Israel’s Legitimacy

12. Obama absented himself from the Senate when Senate names Iran’s army “terrorist organization“ but later said he was opposed.

questions for Senator Obama

Dorothy Gale — Fri, 02 May 2008 13:35:54 -0400

Senator Obama, I would love to see America make the progress that having a black president would represent, but I cannot escape the feeling that you were hand-picked by the left-wing elites of the Democratic Party to peel the black vote away from Hillary Clinton. As such, you have no credibility with me. Here are my questions:

1- When/how you decided to run for president.
2-Did someone else suggest that you run?
3- Why now, and not after you had a few years of experience in Washington?

Why Stay in the Trinity Church with Pastor Wright for 20 Years?

Visitor — Thu, 01 May 2008 21:29:34 -0400

You sat in the pew while Pastor Wright gave his hate America sermons. It was in your own words in your book, "Dreams of My Father." Why ?

Am I the only American that does not have a short memory? How can anyone want to have Bill Clinton any where near the oval office or the White House? I would think someone would have the guts to let Hilary know what alot of us think and that we haven't short memories. She either is power hungry or has absolutely no self esteme for putting up with his sexual antics while he was a Governor and while he was President. I myself would like to have a couple in the White House who have good moral standards. Come on America lets put a little pride back into our Government...

Asking Obama a guestion.

Question for Barack??

An American — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 10:18:27 -0400

That's exactly the question I was going to ask.
What does Barack have against the American flag?
He said in a statement that he preferred to "show" us his American pride in other ways. Well a really good way would be not to shun our flag.
How will he represent America when dealing with foreign countries if he is against the very symbol of this country? How does he plan to prove that he isn't anti America since he is clearly anti American flag. In most peoples minds one equates to the other. Especially with the statements made by Wright.

How is a pin going to fix our economy and put an end to the war?

amira — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:19:59 -0400

Why dont you ask George W. Bush why he put our country into this unnecesary war, why millions of young brave people have died for no real reason, why he lied to amerian people, why whe have to pay $4.00 for gas, why food is so expensive, why we cant afford to pay our mortgage? Do you call that being a true patriot?Grow up people, and stop listening to FOX NEWS!

FL & Mi Vote

Paul — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:52:59 -0400

Obama states those states did not play by the rules but did the voters have a real chance. The man does not want those people to be able to voice their vote. What is he scared about. Does he play by the rules when he lied about taking money from Lobbiest or taking money from big oil exec. So maybe he should drop out. Is the DNC doing the same thing that the DEMs claim that the highest court did seven years ago. They don't want peoples vote to count. Mr. Dean does not like Clinton so he wants to fix the race.

Do some reaearch on Hillary's little cult religion...the family. It is composed of people that try and make the highest rank they can in government...now that to me is pretty scarey. Read about it.

Question for Barack Obama

Visitor — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:28:40 -0400

You keep talking about what you are going to do when you are President about high gas and fuel prices, and doing something to get away from foreign oil! But, the cause of high gas and fuel prices is not due to foreign oil, it is, sadly, due to our own country's fuel industry that continues every year, unregulated, to make many billions of dollars profits, and we the comsumer continue to pay high gas and fuel prices. It is primarily the responsibility of Congress (with the President's leadership and support), not just the President's responsibility, to regulate a problem like this and do something about it - regulate our own U.S. fuel industry because they are overcharging the public.

You also talk about improving our economy and improving healthcare which are also primarily the responsibility of Congress (with the President's leadership and support), not just the President's responsibility, to build solutions to take action to improve the the economy, and healthcare.

You have been in Congress all this time, and you have not done anything about these issues up to now, so why would you do anything as President?

Education

Sandy — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:38:49 -0400

What are you going to do for the public schools in America? Children have begun raising themselves, and violence is increasing daily in every age level of the public school. What kind of public school administration would you support?
And yes- one more question---How do you feel about yourself being called the "antichrist?"

Constitutional Trespasses by George W. Bush

Whiff — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:46:30 -0400

As a teacher of Constitutional Law, I would like your opinion why there were no articles of impeachment submitted for the following Bush transgressions:
1) Disregarding Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
2) Signing Statements that allow the Executive Branch to enact only parts of laws.
3) Ignoring Laws requiring a Judge to permit wire-tapping.
4) Allowing the president to imprison citizens with no due process.

I have heard the cases for each of these items and it seems that George is overreaching the bounds of the presidency. Shouldn't this get a hearing? What is your opinion.

Myths and Evolution

Robert G. Brown — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:56:40 -0400

In this day and age, it has never been more essential to have a President who is a rational human being. I would therefore ask you to make an unambiguous statement about your personal beliefs. Do you believe in the inerrant bible? More specifically, do you believe in any variant of "intelligent design" or do you accept the theory of evolution based on the evidence?
