An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
And He Wants To Be POTUS?

Obama Gaffes on Iraq and Afghanistan
Sporting a shiny new American flag pin at an appearance in Rush Limbaugh’s hometown, Sen. Barack Obama came up with some novel reasons why the U.S. may be struggling in the war in Afghanistan.
“We don’t have enough capacity right now to deal with it — and it’s not just the troops,” Obama, D-Ill., told a crowd in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
Obama posited — incorrectly — that Arabic translators deployed in Iraq are needed in Afghanistan — forgetting, momentarily, that Afghans don’t speak Arabic.
“We only have a certain number of them and if they are all in Iraq, then its harder for us to use them in Afghanistan,” Obama said.
Ok, all I had to do was ‘Google’ Afghanistan, to get some specifics on the country. Are the B’s slobbering acolytess incapable of finding out this information? And besides, since he’s such a “good friend” to the bad guys, shouldn’t he already know these things?
No sooner did Obama realize his mistake — and correct himself — but he immediately made another.
“We need agricultural specialists in Afghanistan, people who can help them develop other crops than heroin poppies, because the drug trade in Afghanistan is what is driving and financing these terrorist networks. So we need agricultural specialists,” he said.
So far, so good.
“But if we are sending them to Baghdad, they’re not in Afghanistan,” Obama said.
Hmmm…..maybe I should have B talk to Jr. Even SHE knows they grow poppies in Afghanistan, and NOT Iraq.
Y’know, I realize he’s probably tired, and all that, but seriously, wouldn’t the job of President of the United States be even MORE tiring? I’m no big John McFeingold fan, but at least he’s trying to keep the facts straight. Oh, except for that “global warming” BS. *shaking head in dismay*
Oh, and that flag? I ain’t buying into it!
