The so-called surge has failed in Iraq. The refugees are not returning to their homes. The ethnic cleansing did produce less violence between groups.

Obama’s visit to the Middle East, as part of a congressional delegation, in a fact finding mission is a step in the right direction, though it might be wrongly timed as a little too late.
Again, because I don’t believe in miracles performed by a one “superman,s” efforts, I don’t see how any thing seriously immediate will come out of this visit!

I’m sure he will walk casually and boldly down the boulevards and side streets of Baghdad, speaking with ordinary citizens about what they want for their country.

Its time to finalize a possible time for withdrawing US soldiers from iraq and Obama is trying to do that. What Joe liberman said is same talks as Bush. He wants war and war and wants US soldiers to die there forever. For what reason, to save Iraq with the US deaths? Or to save Israel more?
