New RNC Clock Highlights How Long Since Obama Visited Iraq
The Republican National Committee has launched a clock on its website to track just how long it's been since would-be Commander in Chief Barack Obama has been to Iraq. As of this writing, it's 871 days and counting.
RNC Chairman Robert M. "Mike" Duncan released this statement:
"Barack Obama has only visited Iraq once -and that was 871 days ago. Despite lacking the experience and leadership to be Commander-in-Chief, Obama has done shockingly little to educate himself firsthand about the war in Iraq. Instead, he displays an arrogant certainty gained on the campaign trail. How would Obama make informed judgments in the future when he has not seen the situation in Iraq since the surge began? Why does Obama readily agree to one-on-one negotiations with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but decline one-on-one briefings in Baghdad with our military leaders? Obama’s failure to visit Iraq, listen and learn firsthand, and witness the surge’s progress demonstrates weak leadership that disqualifies him from being Commander in Chief."
