 | CanadaSucks (50) 07/22/2008 | Lots of flash but will fade as the real stories of 2008 solidify- the lousy economy and the presidential campaign. True, this recent story has to do with the campaign- but this story will become one of the cogs in the greater campaign 'story' as the Fall approaches. As of today, the rumors around DC are not what I expected. Some said "Obama should come home now." I asked why due to the recent political victories. "Because it's going so perfectly there's nowhere to do but down- get out while it's perfect." Interesting. As for the real or imagined media bias- it does exist. There is a bias for an articulate and charismatic person with interesting things to say- and it's been quite some time since that's been a reality in a presidential campaign.

 | zuchinibut (41) 07/22/2008 | I think its great that a Presidential nominee took a trip to an area which is so critical to our country's current situation. However, I don't want this trip to become some sort of justification that Obama is now a foreign relations expert. This is a good step for Obama, but it still doesn't mean that he will make the best decisions regarding the Middle East if he is elected President.

 | SuKingsANDKnights300 (17) 07/22/2008 |  The trip helped a whole lot of consignments to sow a hope for those who confide in those who finds terrorism breeding ground as awefully, a hub of talibans, and their evil strife to re-germinate again, which is obviousely may re-radicalize another sub-talibanistic roots in the future generation. This is a preliminary trial to reflect Obama's firms in the office, to help US regain her formerly wearied off credibility to combat aggressively, the islamic darkest secrecy of permeating terror , not only in the -Stans region, but also anywhere, where once terrorism has affected. The senator has got an upper arm to do it exactly as needed. Therefore, the once procrastinated proclaimation of this combat against the sanctuary of the talibans should be at all sakes be applauded with joyful welcome, than an illusionized, induced war-cry. This proclamation by the pending next, new office could help a lot more and, a rightful stance without any wearisome. I swear that, alqaeda must make a run for it some day, if there are really some tough hard-liners. If I were a president in the US, I WOULD prophesy this piece of information to the talibans; "find any perforated outlet, in Afghanistan, either in the ground, or somewhere else before the next bad chapters begin"..the decision is for the talibans to leave or face it, and feel it deeply in their bone marrows, but unfortunately I'm not. A Short and brief message before hand. And I think that would help them remorse their nerves. Everything is always possible. Nothing is impossible.
