Not unlike any number of other politicians including the ones running
things now.

Nope. Obama never claimed he had other priorities during a war draft.
Try again.




Fretty likes to try to even everyone out with his interpretations of
moral
equivalence.

Cheney is a dirtbag.

Cheney is certainly a dirtbag, and his daughter Liz is shockingly
untruthful.

Moral equivalency is a common logical fallacy, although I'm not sure what
small moral failure Obama has committed.

Here are the most common ones...

I was only referring to the chicken hawk reference and I did not say
Obama. Chicken Hawk is not just a GOP thing. .
Specifically I would point out the pro war, never served in the
military, senators and House reps who have spanned the whole 19 year
Iraq war and the decade long Afghanistan war. (Schumer, Lieberman,
along with the GOP guys you blame)
I do think Obama has reneged on his promise to stop the wars tho.
What happened to that kid from Chicago who voted against all the war
resolutions? Now he is Mr Double down.

Cheney is a chicken hawk. I made no distinction re party affiliation. I have
some issue with the others you mentioned or anyone who voted for that war.
In any case, Cheney and Bush pushed it through, and I blame them for the
deaths.

Obama has not reneged. Things are going pretty much along the timeframe he
described. He didn't vote again the Afg. war, and he's always said it at
least had a reason for being. Sorry, but you don't get to rewrite history on
this.
