Senator Barack Obama has just commenced a world-wide tour that includes a trip to Iraq where he will meet with the generals currently there on the ground.  However, Obama has already announced his policy regarding Iraq.  Namely: withdraw the troops within 16 months of taking office.  That policy should force the Iraqis to handle the situation themselves; so he surmises.  So, why is Obama traveling to Iraq to talk with the generals when he has already announced his decision?  The answer: he was forced into going.  Senator John McCain has made numerous trips to Iraq most recently this spring.  Obama, on the other hand, has not visited Iraq in over 900 days.  He is going to Iraq not to find out the state of things and learn the general’s opinions, but merely to gain equality with McCain.  It is all about political expediency and image.  He wants to look like presidential material.  Don’t worry!  The media will help him on his way!

The major news outlets are sending their biggest anchors over to Iraq with Obama.  Meanwhile, McCain barely received notice during his visits to that country.  What does this tell you?  Our main stream media is biased.  They have an agenda which clearly implicates them as appendages of liberal politics and activists.  In everything they do they endeavor to place Obama in the most favorable light, while simultaneously playing down the strengths of McCain namely: national security and the Iraq war.  Have we been attacked by Islamic fascists on our own soil since we began the war on terror?  Then we are doing something right.

A word of caution to the wise: whatever you hear from the main stream media, do not forget that they have an agenda to which they are radically dedicated.
