Perhaps it's to fix the mess that Bush neglected to fix?
Right-wing nut = loves Taliban
Here comes the Bush Rationale again.


What 'mess' is Obama trying to fix? That's the original question?
--


the mess that bush was unable to develop a strategy to build an
effective security apparatus in afghanistan.


And you believe that Obama is going to fix Afghanistan? Nobody has ever
fixed Afghanistan.-


sure they have.

you're just too dumb to realize it.

Bush got us in there. We're there. We could have just left
(cut-and-run, some people would say) when Obama took office, but how
smart would that be?

You don't really have a point, do you?


Yes, Gene, he does! Remember conservative = good, liberal = evil. That's
the republican mantra!!!

Obama could have pulled the US troops out of Afghanistan by now. All it
takes is an order to Sec Def Gates.- Hide quoted text -

this is called 'surrender' or 'appeasement'...whichever you prefer.

I thought it was following through on a campaign promise. Why are we
still in Iraq? Didn't Obama say he was going to get us out of Iraq too?

Why are we still in Iraq?-


he did not say he was going to 'get us out of iraq'. he said he was
going to get us out consistent with US policy objectives. and he is.
US troops are no longer involved in combat operations.


What are the US policy objectives in Iraq?

you take pride in your ignorance or is it just a hobby?


You are too much fun to play with. I guess you could call it a sport.

What difference does either question make?
Obama has had plenty of time to pull out of Afghanistan, and Iraq for
that matter.
Why are we still in Afghanistan. What does Obama hope to get out of
our involvement there?

disrupting the ability of the taliban to conduct state sponsored
terrorism. i realize that, to you folks in the 'neville chamberlain
fan club', that's a horrible thought. but to those of us who were in
NY after 9/11, it's kind of important

The Taliban never conducted state sponsored terrorism. The Taliban was
used by OBL and AQ as a base of operations because Afghanistan is the
anus of the Earth.-


you say potatoes...i say po-tah-toes...

blah blah blah


You agree with me that the Taliban did not attach the USA.

Please explain why he should want to do that, given that the Taliban will
come right back.

The Taliban will always come back in some form or another. The Muslims
do not look at their struggle as a one, two or ten year effort. It is a
centuries effort. If it takes the Muslims 10 generations they will wait,
if it takes 10 centuries they will wait. The Muslims are more patient
than us.-


first there's a difference between the 'taliban' and muslims. not all
muslims are crazed psychopathic fanatics.


Prove it. Islam is similar to communism in that it cannot be fully
realized until all of the people of the Earth are subjugated to the rule
of the collective.

2nd, there's no proof this is true. the 'muslims' have already
started destroying the more fanatical elements in their midst, as
recent events in the gaza strip, and in pakistan have shown.


Ok, if that is what you want to believe. Sacrifice a few so that the
rest can flourish.

you seem not to know. you keep posting ridiculous assertions (e.g.
'obama said he's going to get out of afghanistan') without any
reference or context. it seems you have no idea what's going on and
aren't interested in finding out. your primary goal seem to be
immediate surrender and appeasement of the taliban.

you take pride in your ignorance or is it just a hobby?


You are too much fun to play with. I guess you could call it a sport.-


chuckle watching you roll around in your ignorance is kind of like
watching a 3 legged pig in a pen.

the amusement value alone is worth it.

You mean, he really didn't mean it when he was running for POTUS?? Oh
my, hope I still get my free car and oil;)

Please show me where Obama said he'd give you a free car and oil.
Another right wing fallacy.


Obama didn't say it.. It was a sarcastic remark based loosely on the
rantings of some of the Obama supporters during the runup to the
election... Geeze...

Well, with some of the lies the conservatives have told lately, I just
assumed that was another one that got believed.


Yeah right.. only lies from the right.

We are obviously out or Iraq, Gitmo is closed, we are out of
Afghanistan, dems are reaching across the isle, there is no end of life
panels, the check is in the mail, and I promise I will pull out...
Pffffttttt...

Everything isn't a "right wing fallacy" just because you don't agree
with it. See, that is the difference between the right and the left. I
accept that you may have a different point of view. It doesn't mean your
lying, it doesn't mean you are stupid, racist, or any of the other "left
wing fallacies".. Just a different point of view...

Either way, you should have figured out by now that I don't take much of
this seriously here... I really don't have the time to argue and
research all the crap that goes on. The kid is in the points race and
working very hard. I am trying to keep up and get her and the machine
where it needs to be... That is a full time job in itself...

No but the lies the right has propagated lately are being gobbled up by
the conservatives as truth no matter HOW outlandish they are. That's the
whole point.


And yet, you can't really point to any lies that are not considered
truth by at least 80% of the people out there reading the bills and
getting informed... Just because you call a "death panel" an "end of
life panel" doesn't mean it's a lie.. It is what it is... Word games
aside...

I practically got a free car yesterday. I now have a brand new Nissan
Versa and the $4,500 you all kicked in paid for nearly half of the
vehicle. I stroked a check for the rest. Just doing my part to help the
economy according to Congress and Obama's rules.


Congratulations!
Good to see you admit gov welfare is ok when it goes in your pocket.
