BAGHDAD - Barack Obama talked with leaders from Iraq to assist their withdrawal of American troops to allow for a strong Iraqi military force in Iraq. America has spent countless hours supporting their requests to change the way they run their government. America has spent money for citizens of Iraq that may never realize that we are not "occupying" Iraq as they suggest amongst so many young and uneducated insurgents.

Most news travels by word of mouth and this presents a grave problem for our government. Not only did we need to spend years training a very unsophisticated Iraq military who needed more time than we should have ever given, the type of citizens residing in those areas have very little secondary education, but we needed to teach them right from left.

Obama intends to visit a southern Israeli town that is a frequent target of rockets fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza where Tony Blair, the ex-prime minister was unable to travel. Obama is safe in any Mideast trip because the Muslim population support this man as if they were one of "their own."

"The stop in Sderot is part of a crowded day of events on Wednesday in which the Illinois senator has also arranged to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah on the West Bank and with Israeli leaders," said a leading AP reporter.

Obama is on a traveling through Afghanistan, and the Middle East ending in Europe. He arrived in Jordan on Tuesday to speak with another long time friend, King Abdullah after visiting in Iraq.

Obama has impacted "All of these leaders from the Middle East" in a record amount of time since he is not even a strong political official here in the USA. Senators generally work for the citizens of the United States and not for countries overseas unless perhaps, he has an interest far beyond what is imaginable in the head of this brilliant Harvard mastermind.

Obama also talked with leaders of the so-called Awakening Council movement in Ramadi, a place in the western Anbar Province where al-Qaida has been strong fighting U.S. and Iraqi troops in previous years.

The meetings gave Obama a "Universal" presence in discussions with Middle Eastern leaders on what exactly his next step is in his plans to control America and its citizens and the U. S. treasury and what money they will continue to give to the Muslim countries where Obama has many relatives and feels close enough to branch out during his first? visit and speak to everyone in one fell swoop.

"Obama sat in an ornate gold-colored chair next to the Anbar governor, Maamoun Sami Rashid al-Alwani. He also met with Sheik Ahmed Abu Risha, the older brother of Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha, a leader of a Sunni revolt against al-Qaida in Iraq who was killed in Ramadi in September 2007. An Iraqi flag was draped behind them, " reported Associated Press.

A spokesman for the Anbar province, Jamal al-Mashhadani, said Obama's talks included further efforts to [position the war and al-Qaida in Iraq while Awakening Council demands for a greater voice in Iraqi affairs.

But he leaves Iraq with an unlikely scenario but a possible boost in political strength: Obama's Iraqi backing is contingent for his hope of withdrawal of U.S. combat troops by 2010. Will they have to start working heavily in the United States?" a question asked by many political supporters in the USA.

Obama's Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, said Obama has been "completely wrong" to press for withdrawal timetables. "When you win wars, troops come home," McCain said during a visit in Maine with former President George H.W. Bush. Senator John McCain is a very experienced wartime hero who has continued to involve himself with individuals of great intelligence and good track records.

Obama has one quarter of the experience in service time for governmental affairs as McCain and no international experience up until now. It is almost as if Obama was close to these military leaders before his election to Democratic candidate. Obama must be an organized, calculating planner who has tailored his rise to candidate in a very precise manner.

Supporters like Senator Michael Balboni agree that Obama has handled all his duties in a very profitable manner for those who are working towards creating a better international presence and respect in the USA.

Obama told ABC News that military leaders have "deep concerns" about a timetable that does not account for changing conditions.

"I don't think that there are deep concerns about the notion of a pullout per se," he said in the television interview. "There are deep concerns about, from their perspective, of a timetable that doesn't take into account what they anticipate might be some sort of change in conditions."

Does Obama mean "change in U. S. conditions? Or does he mean changes in the Middle East?" I guess that the politicians who supported him into candidacy and most every citizen of the United States will shortly see what his plans are for this change he is trying to develop in the U. S.

Does this change include giving Muslims new homes and businesses and allowing 27 different countries and their international citizens to take a piece of the rock here in the USA? Certainly they need to relocate and the United States has more to offer everyone in the world than the Middle East.
