Obama Doesn’t Like Iraq Hearing on 9/11

It’s showbiz, Senator or as the old song began…Hollywood…..dohdoh

Bush cant make that assesment but the Dems can make assesments on everything(as long as it bad of course).What nerve these people have.

There’s only one important question concerning the attacks, did the US gov’t allow/participate in 9/11?
The answer to that query would explain the illegal wire-taps, suspension of habeas corpus, banning of books like “America Deceived” from Amazon, detaining of dissenters in fences miles away from events, and multiple wars based on lies.
How can the gov’t be innocent in 9/11 when we have caught it lying so many times (WACO, Ruby Ridge, no WMDs, USS Liberty, Operation Northwoods, Gulf of Tonkin, Pearl Harbor, ETC.)?
In law, if you determine a person lies ONCE during his testimony, it can be assumed that he lied in the remainder of his testimony. How come we do not hold the gov’t to the same standard as it holds us to?
The gov’t lied to us about Iraq and more Americans have died there than in 9/11. If the gov’t lied about Iraq then why is everyone so reluctant to believe that the gov’t lied about 9/11?

We should have a fund raiser to finance a one-way ticket for Obama back to his original(?) homeland. He is a disgusting candidate for President of Our Great Country!

Manuel – What’s embarrassing is the stupidity and naivete of our President. Obama is telling it like it is, and we need that, now more than ever thanks to that buffoon you elected. Talk about having no clue…you and Bush make a good pair.

Guys, this man, Senator Obama in fact has a brain that functions at much higher level than you folks who posted here including Presdient Bush’s. That’s why he can say it the way it’s and he thinks American people deserve to know the honest truth. Enough of secret foreign policy, secret military agenda.

Truther Nate,
There’s only one important question concerning the attacks, did the US Gov’t
allow participate in 12/07/41.
Take off your tinfoil hat, take a deep breath, and try to rejoin most of us back on Planet Earth. Besides, your post has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Senator Obama is absolutely correct. The problem is that ABC and the rest of the media are just reporting quotes, not facts. Do some research guys. Don’t just tell us what the Democrats and the Republicans say, tell us the truth.
Obama is telling the truth about the situation in Iraq. Go check the facts, like a responsible news organization, and then report that Obama is correct and the administrations talking points about the war improving are FALSE. F – A – L – S – E, false. Don’t just transcribe, try reporting for once.

What about any day in September or the 11th of any month?

I pray we will be blessed with the election of President Barack Obama and the appointment of Madame Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton.
Just to see all the rightwingers heads explode.

Why does the right wing hate the Constitution, our troops and dissent?

Is there some kind of blogosphere stupidity contest I haven’t heard about? The comments supporting the war on this message board are the most ignorant things I’ve read in a long, long time.

All Senator Obama can do is bitch and gripe like the rest of the Democrats. Someone running for President should have some ideas to offer, not just gripes about the current administration. This is just another campaign speech for him rather than a hearing on the state of the war as it is for the country. The dim bulbs out there can continue to pray for President Obama….I’m still waiting to see Senator Obama.

Once again Barack shows that he is intelligent and his thought process is well above your normal politicians and baloney. What a coincidence eh ? after so many years since 9-11 and the start of the Iraqi war the most critical hearings at the most critical time just happen to start near the anniversary of 9-11. Its just a diversion, plain and simple. They are not related, have never been related, and we continue to lose credibility around the world. We should all be used to it by now from this administration. Nothing but political hijinx since the beginning.

Upset that the hearings are on 9-11? Excuse me, but doesn’t the Democratic leadership set the agenda?

NATE –
Good points about catching a person lying, but — those lies you refer to are over many generations and many years and by many, many people. If what you say is valid then NOTHING the government tells us is true. Hence, we’re still at war in Europe, we never walked on the moon, airplanes don’t break the speed of sound and Bush wasn’t elected President twice.

Obama may not believe we’re kicking Al Qaeda’s ass, but I would bet Osama does. He’s lost hundreds of his best terrorists since the surge began and dozens of his leaders. It must break whatever he has in place of a heart to see the very Sunnis in Mesopatamia, the center of his new Caliphate, now turning on his boys and helping us to hunt them down.
Whatever the future holds, this is a major success.

“There are 1.3 billions muslims in the world. I doubt there is hardly 100 thousand extremists who has twisted a very soft, tolerant and peace loving religion for radical agenda.” (Comment by “Arshad” above)
I will accept that Islam is a “peaceful” religion when Muslims turn on these extremists and put them down themselves. Until then, we infidels will have to continue to do the job for you. Also, what is peaceful about a religion that espouses death for any in it’s ranks who choose to break away and follow a different path of belief? Or who riot violently in the streets because of a cartoon. Or kill a raped woman out of “honor”???

Hey E. O,Neal… Your numbers are wrong, as if you care…
Try 3775 (approx)
Thanks for playing…

Wondering why bin Ladin is still alive? Take his own advice and read Imperial Hubris, by an ex-CIA researcher.
Remember the out pouring of pain and remorse following the shootings at Virginia Tech, relate that to the first hand observations by a doctor working at Baghdad’s morgue who sees 10 times that every day, found in The Assassins Gate by George Packer, who reported from Iraq for the New Youk Post.
Now consider In Dead Aim how “w” talks about ‘refilling the ‘ol coffers’ which brings to mind the hord of Texas oil men continuing to get reep record breaking profits, as long as, the World’s 2d largest oil reserve remains in complete chaos.
Go ahead read, as you’ll soon understand that it’s not just our fighting men & women stuck in Iraq fighting amid a civil war and a disappearing enemy like in Viet Nam, it’s all about non-civil empirical ambitions and greed that have us all trapped paying the bill for something none of US actually want, understand or need. The equation is simply this: when there are too many sides and too many unanswered questions (eh! General) such as “why are we here in the first place?” it’s best to just get out.
Thank you Mr. Obama, I think you understand that!

Now why would the senator accuse the president of doing the same thing the congress and senate have being doing for years.
They’ve being lowering educational standards since the sixties to the point a red rock is considered a genius!We’re doing such a great job that we HAVE to IMPORT young people into the country to fill jobs our kids should be filling, but can’t because we’ve LOWERED the EXPECTATIONS so we can on paper guarantee SUCESS.
They’re just mad someone stole their program!!!!!
Wouldn’t you people get that warm fuzzy feeling with old GENERAL OBAMA in charge.

The Liar’s Liars
Petraeus and Crocker, simply put, mouthed the words of the Bush administration. Nothing will change until the Congress cuts off funding. No money – no war! ! !

Arshad – Were you educated in your own country? So you believe that 9/11 was a “natural reaction” to the United States of America’s foreign policy? Can you tell me what country refuses our food because of our foreign policy? Do they hate us because we invented computers and improved transportation, electricity, communication systems that mostly the ELITE of those countries enjoy? Nations we have kept from starving do they hate our foreign policy? Can you even name the ships and the amount of money we, Americans, spent on a starving world? That’s a foreign policy not even taught in our own left-wing, Liberal colleges! It’s OK for us to be the most generous individuals in the world – just so we stay out of the business of trying to get people to feed and govern themselves. BYW, since you are Muslim, there is yet ANOTHER academy in my city to educate Muslim children – with one physical difference – in my country – USA our school and university campuses are wide-open – but in the Muslim academies the facilities are HIDDEN behind over 10 ft. tall fences! In OUR own country. Talk about foreign policy I take notice of which foreign countries are infiltrating the US with an agenda to change our home policy to theirs! Talk about the pot calling the pan black!

I think he meant US Iraq war wounded, which at last count was 27,272.

Actually, Obama Soprano, 3775 is the number of Americans -killed- in Iraq. Casualty doesn’t just mean dead; it means dead or injured. Fella named Webster taught me that.

“How delusional does one have to be to believe that “Al Qaeda is not in Iraq”? They call themselves Al Qaeda”
I call myself George Bush, therefore I must be the president of the USA! More tinfoil hattery from the Fauxnews brigade!!!!

It will never be another 9/11 here. Not because we are safer grace to the patriotic act. Neither because we are fighting an inmoral war in Iraq. But because the main reason for the attack was a Bin-Laden retaliation for the american military bases in the middle east. He is/was a fundamentalist with lots of money that commes from the royal family of Saudi Arabia. He had concocted this plan way ahead of time to protest for the failing and anacronich american international policies. All of the plane highjackers were saudis and none was iraki. Maybe BinLaden is already death and this tape that just surfaced is another schem from W to justify his horrible war on the iraki people. Now the Bush administration is fighting alQuaeda. The world never heard of this organization until W made it a motif to wage this horrendous war. But, who is alqaeda? a terrorist bunch. Terrorists have existed since the world is world, and we have not been able to figh it. Neither will be able the tiny brain of W. There is no visible ennemy to fire to. So we fire on masses of civilians hopping that some terrorist among them will be killed. Bush should be indicted
as a war criminal.

OK, commies, listen up: I don’t care if there was or wasn’t any “yellowcake”. Saddam was an evil, murderous, dangerous thug. He was shooting at our pilots flying UN MANDATED patrols. And whether or not he had any WMD, he was sure acting like he did. Anyway, we won the war and accomplished the mission when we took Baghdad. How long did we stay in Germany after WWII? Oh, wait, we’re still there. And we were dealing with holdover nazis and japanese for years after the axis surrender. The only difference was that those “insurgents” weren’t being resupplied by Iran and Syria. So, besides killing AQ and AQ wannabes thus ridding the US democrat party of potential future “immigrants” to vote for obamee, we need a staging ground for when we finally correct ole’ “Sweater” Carter’s mistakes and do away with the mother-nest of terrorists in Tehran.

Barry Obama’s ramble lunacy is really the norm. He would still be a state senator if Peter Fitzgerald was not fed up with the Illinois Republican party. Notice he is not using the Hsu debacle against Hillary yet? Quite possibly because he has some$$$$ along with the Tony Rezkow real estate shenanigans. Don’t think it is a real good idea to call the ranking 4 star general a liar. the real reason he did not want testimony is because he and Oprah can’t be out exploiting the anniversary

Let him keep talking. With every stupid comment he proves what a dope he really is. This guy makes Ms. Clinton look like a star!

Breakoutthereynoldswrap, so the fact that Al Qaeda in Iraq calls themselves “Al Qaeda” means nothing, nor does the fact that OBL and Zawahiri both call them “Al Qaeda”. Then maybe you should ask one of the brave soldiers or Marines who’s tracking them down and destroying them what they call them.

First smart thing he’s said……
How crass that this report comes out today – Another subconcious tactic to make us believe that Iraq = 9/11.
I’m ashamed to be an american today…..

who do boxer, and obama, and biden think they are to call this general a liar and just ignore facts that the troop surge is working. it angers me to no end to hear politicians calling for our defeat and blatently ignoring facts just to make some kind of political point to their fringe left bases. I am so glad it is so transparent that the vast majority of Americans are not falling for their ploy. fortunateley we have a leader in charge who will listen to this report and do what is best for our country. screw the America hating dems.

i hope all of you neocon sheep are right. your thoughts and the leaders that we support have really lead to shiny results.

Greg H: – Beware of your “facts” – They come from government agencies….enough said.

The majority of the rightwing comments here are ridiculous. Someone said Obama should be sent back to his homeland, you too buddy unless your are Native American. Another said W’s comments at least make us proud, so false pride is more important than sober good judgement? Now I understand how some part of this country continues to support the decider, you are idiots who would rather be misled than leveled with.

Susan – So you think the Dems want an attack on America?…….wow, you got a good grip.
Dems – Republicans……It’s all NWO crap….
We are slaves people…..pay your taxes, go to work and shut up….that’s what they want……

Dems are always worried about the now, never the bigger picture. CEO’s and republicans tend to see the big picture. China and Russia see the bigger picture as well. Who cares about the why’s we’re there. Agree to disagree and then move forward. Lets get as many holes drilled into the ground as possible and make them sell us all of the oil they have. American oil companies are generating revenues never seen before and this is good for all of us. So when taxes are lower but govt revenue is at an all time high, who is really benefiting. All Americans. 20 years from now when the mid east is no longer oil rich, we can move on to Chavez and his supply before we tap ours in the gulf and Alaska. Take the oil out of the region then let them implement Islamic law all they want in thier dust bowl. We will let them reap what they sew.
Our military must support itself financially. And it is only doing that when we are at war. Sad but true wake up and smell the missle defence system.

Let’s pretend…
Obama makes a trip to Iraq (Photo-op??)
He brings along Lugar, Reid, durbin, and General Petraeus (makes him look oh-so bi-partisan and supportive of our military to have a uniform with all those shiny doodads sparkling in the light of the flashbulbs). All of a sudden, some poor misunderstood “insurgents” break through a barrier, just as Obama is making his “the general is misleading us” speech. Everyone looks around for cover. The dems scurry to the left for cover behind an uparmored humvee. The General runs to the right and dives behind a second humvee. Obama is standing there trying to decide which one to take cover behind. Anyone care to guess whether he joins his politician buds, or the “lying” general?

whoever said “Is there some kind of blogosphere stupidity contest I haven’t heard about? The comments supporting the war on this message board are the most ignorant things I’ve read in a long, long time.”
is right on track i was just reading this and commenting that obama is awesome for not accepting lies and pionting out lies and dishonesty and misleading statements and actions when he sees them. here is a bulletin for y’all… WAR IS NEGATIVE… SENDING OUR TROOPS TO FIGHT A WAR THAT ONLY SUCCEDED IN SECURING OIL FOR AMERICAN AND BRITISH OIL COMPANIES AND LINED THE POCKETS OF HALIBURTON IS NEGATIVE. KILLING INNNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES (IRAQIS) IS NEGATIVE!!!!
POINTING OUT THAT ALL OF THAT IS NEGATIVE IS A GOOD AND NECESSARY THING THAT ALL OF THE SENATORS (AND MORONIC AMERICANS WHO POST HERE) SHOULD BE DOING!!!
JESUS!!!!

Who here honestly believes that Al Qaeda wishes we weren’t in Iraq?
Now, on the other hand, who here believes that UBL is amazed at how well things have gone for him post 9/11? He’s more popular than ever, his network is growing in finding and people, the US is locked up militarily nannying a civil war, the US is destabilizing the middle east, the US is completely isolated from it’s allies and is backtracking from it’s principles of Democracy.
Enough said. We’re losing this war, it occurs on more than just a battlefield. The troops are doing their job, it’s time to do ours. Redeploy them, restore our democratic principles, rebuild Afghanistan, reduce our dependence on foreign oil and chinese/saudi debt.

Matt, that is because AQ’s attacks tend to be the biggest and most destructive. For example, the recent attacks on a minority sect’s village that killed over 500 people for no reason other than to show they could. Also, the attack on the Samara mosque last year that set off the wave of sectarian violence.

Lockmaster. .. . .. just to catch you up on “current” events, Bin Laden has already claimed credit for 9/11 several years ago, oh by the way he has just reiterated that fact with a recent video. People like you have no credibility because you ignore facts and evidence if it doesn’t line up with what you want to be true. News flash only lunatics still believe Bush was behind 9/11 in light of the fact that Bin Laden HAS ADMITTED TO BEING BEHIND IT.

Just because it doesn’t make political hay for Democrats we should not do anything about terrorists on September 11th. That’s brilliant. Send 130,000 men and women into battle and stab them in the back. Again brilliant
Send a guy to do a job and stab him in the back before he even speaks. Again brilliant. Keep up the brilliant work Democrats. In Obamas defense he voted against sending the troops to Iraq. He was as wrong then as he is now.
The reason we went into Iraq is because we needed Saddam Hussein to corroborate his claims he destroyed his weapons. He did not.

“If Saddam Hussein had complied we would not be in the current situation.
HE CHOSE NOT TO COMPLY.”
Do you really believe that? I remember saying when Bush was elected, ‘well we’ll be in Iraq soon.’ I think they would’ve found any way to get into Iraq, as evidenced by the reports Cheney and others wrote in ’98 saying something to the effect of ‘find any way to get into Iraq, you’ll be greeted with flowers’.

I enjoy reading these nonsensical “Hannity-Land” comments from right-wing cruisers. Have fun in 08.

Greg H – I dont even know how to react to your comment – You are all over the place. But I agree – stop the hate…..
STOP THE WAR…..
COMPASSION instead of warfare
Removal of our FORCE
LEAD BY DEMONSTRATION – not with bullets….

janus – Good for you…..Dissent is neccessary for the evolution of governtment – otherwise we will always be the same as the previous facists we overthrow. We are now a nation of dumbed down people who need little than some sybolism to march into war….without cold facts or transparency in government.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it–always.
-Mahatma Gandhi

n. korea will soon have no nuke reactors thanks to Bush and Condi’s Hard line.
The funny thing is that Clinton gave him the capability to start with. If you always give the bully your lunch money you will always be hungry!Jason.

Greg H,
Are you from NYC??? have you ever been here. We are a pretty tolerant city even after not 1 but two terrorist attacks.
who are you speaking for? how about the cowardess of two draft dodgers (bush and cheney) who use lies and corruption to increase profits for special interests?
this is a direct parallel to Vietnam – Katrina disaster is to the war in Iraq as Jim Crow and Civil Rights struggle is to Vietnam. we can’t take care of our own.
Our beautiful country and system of government has been temporarily hi-jacked by criminals. looking forward to anyone but Bush or Cheney in 08.

GREG H – “How about that big hole in lower Manhattan”
—–and that has to do with IRAQ HOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

River Veteran,
I salute your service and dedication to defend this great country.
Yes, I doubt not even 100 thousands who are extremists. You are right. I have guessed and I don’t have precise facts. I don’t like to pretend like President Bush who knew for sure that Iraq had WMD and we were increasingly under the threat of mushroom cloud. Safer guess is better than twisted facts to promote hidden agenda.
We invaded a country and occupying since then who did not attack us, were not going to attack us and it’s people were not asking us to rescue them from Saddam Hussain’s regime. You are right, Saddam killed thousands of kurds using sarin gas. But guess what? It was before Saddam invaded Kuwait and he was considered our ally back then. What did we do to stop him back then? Nothing.

Matt,
I’ve been to NYC three times this summer. Someone very important to me lives in what used to be the shadow of the WTC. I love your city, which BTW has a few conservatives still living in it.

The hatred on this site is unreal. I cannot believe that there aren’t more educated people out there to participate in an actual discussion — on both sides of the aisle. If this is the best that America has to offer as representatives, then I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by the candidates for President.
Everything in a democracy is up for discussion, I’m not ready to give that up just yet. If you don’t like what someone has to say, that is fine, but you don’t get to whine and cry because they don’t agree. Even my 4 year old understands that, and so do the troops fighting and serving overseas. Everyone gets to have an opinion, that is what makes us rich, that is what makes us revered by other nations.

ryan – You too…man. Christianity is “better” – This is the reason for the troubles in the world: The failure to recognize that like you said “All religion is flawed” – Righteous indignation will push you into a corner.
our “fringe” – you mean the “minority” opinion? the same thing that founded this country?!?!?!?!
“Imagine there’s no religion” – Joh n Lennon

—–and that has to do with IRAQ HOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Posted by: h
General regional commonalities.
That, and Iraq makes a great staging area for what will be a necessary war to destroy the mother-lode of all terrorist breeding grounds directly over the eastern border.

RYAN – The minority of England – thats what I mean.
And again, this country IS NOT CHRISTIAN – not officially anyways….
and GREG H – you didnt answer my question….

RYAN – “Remember the cheering in the streets when 3000 died on this date that is not a minority!”
But it isn’t representative of an ENTIRE POPULATION either!!!!!!

no but closer to a 50 50 split. then in our case where you may have 1% SECRETLY CHEERING and 99% horrified. That is the point. I’m only trying to point out that Islam is not as harmless as Christianity.

I am raising a few points that has to do with fairness, justice, economics, international relationship, living to our ideals and understaning cultures that are different from us. I am not defending any religion. You guys are painting me with all kinds of color without really answering my questions.
All those conflicts we see in the world are really political or economic problems. Politicians color them saying conflict among religions because that way they can play with people’s emotion and promote their hidden agenda without much trouble. Again I am not defending any religion here. More people in the world were killed in the name of religion compared to any other. Blame all religion or countries as much as you want. But also recognize that when we killed thousands in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, we did mass murder as well. When we don’t act and allow people die in Darfur and in other places, we commit a crime as well. No one is a saint here. American people should start asking our government that explain our foreign policy in different part of the world. What’s our goal? What we are doing to achieve them? What are our policy? How much it cost? And how those policies serve our interest. Other wise this country will remain hostage to neocons like Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld and people will keep paying the price.

River Veteran – what’s your point? You listed a bunch of things that happened that everyone knows about, but you failed to list all the soldiers who lost their lives on a daily basis. You also failed to mention all the times that the Bush Administration has lied to the American people? If your point is to say that all the bad things that have happened, i.e. the things you listed, have been going on for years and that Obama, because he does not have any political experience is thus not qualified, your argument is not valid. If political experience dictates the future then I’m really glad he has very little and I’ll give you a couple of examples as to why. Example #1: As Sec. of Defense for George H.W. Bush Dick Cheney states that going into Iraq would be a big quagmire. He had been in politics since at least Ford when he made that comment and yet, with all his experience, he decides it would be a good idea after all to go into Iraq…oh, and we’ll bring Haliburton along with us. Example #2: Donald Rumsfeld and all his political experience (he’s been Sec of Defense twice and…get this…he preceded Cheney as Ford’s Chief of Staff!)
So River Veteran, if your argument is that experience dictates success, those two examples are living proof that it doesn’t and that we need to start thinking differently.
I also looked up George Soros – he’s written some books on Capitalism and donated some money to have Bush defeated in the 2004 campaign, but I’m not really sure how he makes me a hypocrite. If you could teach me I’m wiling to learn.

GREG H – “Yes this IS a Christian country”
Funny – saying it is doesn’t make it true.
RYAN – “I’m only trying to point out that Islam is not as harmless as Christianity. ”
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?! Harmless how, the child molestations in the Catholic church, the crusades, the witch burning, the homophobia, the intolerance??? HARMLESS?!?! Christianity has its good points, but don’t pretend ANY dogmatic system doesn’t have horrible downsides…….
In my view religion is control, religion is segregation and religion is harmful to the population when practiced in an organized fashion.

Since WHEN? There are swamps FULL of mosquitos all over the world – swamps which existed before Bush was even governor of Texas!!!
Why were there so many mosquitos in Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Gaza Strip..West Bank…Kosovo…etc…etc..etc….
PuhhhLEEEZE – as if all the threats, disasters, etc started in January, 2001.

what pagan influence? Masons?

H
I agree but there is a big difference between silence and cheering!I am simply being argumentative. I vote republican because they are closer to me now a days but I too beleive libertarianism is the line that connects both left and right.
i think Ron is screwed though.

H
The difference is that christians don’t always recognize that passage where islam is following Hamarabi’s Code still.

H
I live in Georgia so I’m pretty sure Fred is going to win regardless

religion = mind control.
Varying levels of mind control doesn’t change the fact that it is all sheep herding techniques. I don’t care what book or what Code…..

Ryan, I hear ya, no problem, I dont claim that I know there is or is not an afterlife, but I think it is pretty foolish to make a claim either way. Anyone ever read Stranger in a Strange Land, thats an interesting take on an afterlife.

claiming you know for certain there is or is not an afterlife is foolish

Why don’t you vote for who you think is best rather than who you “get” from your master-party….we are all slaves to this corrupt system at this point.
Anyone here, please research the Federal Reserve and understand why Ron Paul hopes to eliminate it – that is the first step to breaking the chains of big government……

H
I will in the primary
But I will not write anyone in so eventually you must compromise your theory and vote for the reality.
Hillary or Rudy
Fred
Mit ? who will it be?

Talking about wagging the dog! I agree with Obama 100% in that September 11th has absolutly nothing to do with the war we inflicted upon Iraq and the disgraceful loss of lives amoung our brave American troops, not to metion the utter cost to our international reputaion as well as our pocket-books. Bush along with Petraeus have managed to staged yet another episode of the republican war propaganda!

The truth about 9/11 is coming soon….The uneducated will be the only ones surprised. The fall of wtc 7 was impossible. Get the facts…facts don’t come from pundits or the 4 USA TV corporations. A harsh reality that alot of people have already realized is coming to kick the blind straight in the forehead. Your government kills innocent people to perpetuate it’s greedy goals. Lights, Camera, Revolution….have fun

I’m not saying Bush “Knew” or “did it” – But the truth is WE DON’T KNOW THE TRUTH – and the official story is FULL of holes…..

JOE SMITH – “The only reason you state you want to catch Osama Bin Laden is because so far, we have been unable to locate him”
WHAT?!?!?! Couldn’t have been that he claimed responsibilty for the attacks?!?!?! Your generalizations aren’t making you look too bright.

So many of you show that you have no minds of your own. You might be (foolishly) thinking that repeatedly spewing the talking points of Limbaugh, Coultier, and Hannity makes you sound intelligent, but in reality, you’re making yourselves out to be the most ignorant “Americans.” Thanks for making our country look so ridiculous, you fools.

Obama is an idiot. The Democrat-controlled Congress voted (meaning Hillary also voted) to have the hearings today.

Before Bush took office, Iraq was a center of terror activities and was secretly run by Al Qaeda. Now it is a democracy and there is no terror anymore. The surge proves the more troops, the safer the country, so we need to keep adding more troops, maybe up to 1.7 or 1.8 million. Anyone who accepts less than 1.5 million US troops in Iraq is a traitor and a cut and runner. Why is this so hard for liberals to comprehend. It’s not like we have to pay for it.

All you who think nothing is getting done. You all need to get off your lazy armchair quarter-backing recliner and go to Iraq and see for yourself. Enlist! I still have friends there right now, things are not good but they sure are not near as bad as they were. I have all kinds of thank-you notes from Iraq citizens. Time for everybody to quit drinking kool-aid and put your lip service into an effort that can actually change something. Hoorah!

Republican Fool,
I’ll not bother to copy your rubbish but I will refute it.
It has been proven without a doubt that Saddam and Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9-11. I will repeat for those who are still too dense to realize this – THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN SADDAM/IRAQ AND 9-11 !!!!!

I just hope people will wake up and see the junior senator for the empty shirt and political hack that he is. The last thing our great country needs is his inexperience and seemingly simplistic view of the world in the White House.
His performance and treatment (and that of his collegues) of GEN. Petraeus totally disgusts me. I hope all of you who voted for this “change” in congress are happy with the result

Obama’s comments are so self-evidently correct that the many “refutations” posted here begin to look frighteningly like some kind of orchestrated campaign. It’s not possible to believe that a random sample of respondents can be that idiotically wrong headed, and yet so similar.

There is no direct link between Al Qaeda, Iraq and 9/11 … but Al Qaeda is in Iraq now and they are fueling the problems there.
In addition, there were many in-direct links between Al Qaeda and Iraq before 9/11 and the concern AFTER 9/11 is that Saddam might work with Al Qaeda and use WMD’s …
…after 9/11 we could no longer take that risk. That is common sense.

Obama is just another liberal idiot. Who cares what he says.

Jon – interesting observation. I’d noticed things seemed a bit lop-sided and uniformed too.

Gee Doc,
I didn’t know that. Where can I look up info about those links between Iraq and Al-Qaeda?

For all you Dems, if you want to surrender in Iraq there is a way to do it through your legislators, urge them to cut the funding for the war. Remember the President doe not control the purse strings. Contrary to popular belief, the American public does not want to lose the war. Just like VietNam, we didn’t lose, Congress shut off funding and we had to leave.

Obama for president!!! HELL NO he is An idiot!! He doesn’t anything about politic..Hussein was given 2500 dlrs. to the family of the kids how kill them selfs
when they kill Israels.. And SOME OF YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE KURDS THAT HUSSEIN KILL THE GAS!!!!!!!

For the record ahem-We can all say bush is epitomy of evil because of iraq- Here is what I pose to you the readers of these comments today, Are you holding anyone else responsible besides the president? Like, oh I don’t know, CONGRESS? Obama enough of your rhetoric, you continue to to put blame on one person, are the members of this congress just a bunch mindless robots who do the bidding of Evil Bush? They do have brains and hearts to create their own bills don’t they? im really surprised the dems haven’t done more to stymie the president, i mean, come on, it’s your choice to mr obama, with your senators. pass a bill you want and let bush yell at you all the day long. I for one am tired of nothing being done, encourage members of congress to do something mr obama, instead of blaming bush all the day long. Or are you chicken and can’t take the heat from ol’e Pres Bush? Mr obama, Idlers will never eat the good of the land unless they do something. Get to work and stop wasting your money on running for office and show us what a real man you are by doing your role in the halls of congress you phoney.

We need to hold Wolfowitz and the federal resever responsible – If you don’t know why then vote for a mainstream cadidate like a fool….
RON PAUL!!!!!

I tell you this, America did not start this. We were attacked 6 years ago today, and if you think we leave Iraq tomorrow and this all will go away, you are as blind as the deocrats running for president. I can’t fathom how ignorant we have become as a nation. we freely elect people to be our voice and forget to keep tabs on what they are doing. we complain about what our troops are doing in Iraq, but fail to enlist and join me there to make a difference. If any of you really want to bring our troops home I suggest you be willing to pick up a weapon, and prepare to defend your home, beacuse thats is exactly what you will be bringing to the shores of this nation. as soon as we leave Iraq they will come here. Try to read up on the enemy we face today, being that they are so politicaly correct that they are willing to cut someones head off. read their relegion and see how far they are willing to go to convert you to Islam. when you are educated on the facts at hand then you will have earned the right to post an opinion until then SHUT UP!

Rob,
I’m up on the facts so if you’ll permit me;
Exactly who is this “they” who will come here?

no one has mentioned the koran? have you forgot history, ONE WORLD calipate is an old idea, read what hodibayia wrote of a hudna, the battle of tours, lapanto, 9/11 1683 and jan Sobieski… this is a dangerous ideaology until you understand it you are doomed, read what happened in Cappadocea in 650 AD

What an ignoramus.

HAHA. The Republicans are going to get their %&% handed to them unlike any other party in the history of this country in the next election. The American people are tired of this war and you best bet theyre going to eliminate every republican that is even slightly vulnerable. Watch Republicans in the house will equal only 160-180 and the Senate 30-35.

tell me how many catholics or for that matter anyone of faith other than islam who straps bombs on their bodies? in 1949 they where given pakistan now they want more, tell me one non islamic country bordering a islamic one that does not experience terror? no read, read a lot you will find out what an apostate faces in islam, or what a clitorectomy is, a jizya, taquiya,ever wonder what hindu kush means the hindu slaughter thanks to tamerlaine…america had to first build an offenseve navy in 1800 because of slave taking and other atrocitiies against us, in 1815 Madison had to revisit it….knowledge is power…

Your rhetoric is old and tired.

Same back at ya pal.
There weren’t any terrorists in Iraq until after we deposed Saddam. We were fighting them in Afghanistan but that venture has long since been left to rot. We could fight them in Saudi Arabia (16 of 19 9/11 hijackers came from there) or in Pakistan (which is the home to the heart and soul of al-qaeda) but we call them our allies in the war on terror?!?
So who in the hell is the real enemy here?

I must say that I am most concerned for America by the hate and spiteful comments of the vast majority of these comments – regardless of the point of view or perspective.
Most are simply hateful and negative – thus are not much worth the reading – really just reminds me of both today’s politics and today’s federal government – mostly useless, mostly self-serving!
We should as individual Americans lay down the hate and spite, and stand up and hold our federal and local governments – meaning the “politicians” that are supposed to represent us – responsible and accountable for action (or lack therof) and effort on our behalf. Simple words, apparently impossible in today’s hate filled America.

alaska,
Did you ever here of the Crusades?

I am Roman Catholic and you are completley wrong. Catholics are one of the only christian denoms that don’t beleive only catholics will go to heaven. we allow jews and catholics to marry and recognize the union. Name another denom that does this.
Please don’t post ignorance some people actually take your statements as fact.

Why does islam fail to advance and reform itself. Christianity does evolve. This is a big distenction

God help us if this man becomes president.

Obama doesn’t follow the Bush agenda, he aptly calls them out on their flawed thinking. Of course they’ll try to paint him as nieve, he’s young. The same was said for JFK and Lincoln. If you want to understand his brilliance you should read The Audacity of Hope. Or any of his policy proposals.

Why is this a muslam holiday and he wanted the day off due to his reglious comment. Be affraid of this one, he was raised a muslum and the only way out is death, so they say.

No Ryan….If Hill and Obama were conservatives you and your liberal ilk would be dragging them throgh the mud…that’s the way it works in la-la land. P.C. America.

I’m libertarian you must have misunderstood Im simply pointin out that this discussion is ridiculus because thank god neither of these canidates are viable. If the dems put forth a real canidate we may have a problem.
The reps win if either of these two run. Guaranteed

I’m going to write in howard stern so as not to be a coward.
Unfortunatley I’m not being a realist if I do that and my vote doesn’t count.
At some point in a 2 party system you have to choose and compromise. If you don’t your a moron.

the primary is for theory the actual election is for reality!

Dear Nate-
The reason no rational person believes 9/11 conspiracy theories is because what the Bush administration says or does not say about it is irrelevant. We have independent verifiable evidence that 9/11 was the result of a terrorist attack. It amazes me how someone can attempt to contort concrete facts to conform and buttress their political agenda. I’ll bet that if Bill Clinton had been president on 9/11 you would not be propounding these ludricous conspiracy theories.

as far as the rest of the world comment goes.
Why would Payton Manning take QB advice from Michael Vick?
If your country has an immigration problem, meaning people are dying to get here, you probably are supperior to countries they’re leaving.

Too bad the majority of the best Dems money can buy are more interested in re-election than keeping Americans safe. Send the lot of them to the devil and let’s start over!

It’s truly a sad week and no one in this country will do anything to remedy it. Polarized, venomous, aggressive, dishonorable. Dems and Reps both fall into these labels. The Dems because they are allowing this war to continue well into the the 2008 Presidential election for a clear sympathy vote at the expense of our soldiers who fight, die, or survive in Iraq every day. It’s a dispicable, unspoken truth for the ‘anti-war’ party.

Obama must tell us if he is a muslim or not and He says he is a Christian, why he swore on the Quran when He took office as Senator.
Obama calls our troops murderers and rapists, seems to me is a traitor and should be tried as a Traitor.

Well I mean Keith Ellison is the only senator that swore in using the Qur’an. Because he IS Muslim.
Just in case you didn’t know, but even if Obama were Muslim it wouldn’t make him a terrorist.

2,190 days without another terrorist attack on the soil of our beloved republic.

Grandstanding 101. Perhaps before this election is over, this fine senator from Illinois will actually produce an idea of his own in combatting world terrorism!

Little boy Obama, the empty suit from the most corrupt state, county and city in the entire nation. Oh, did I forget to mention that he now has two fundraisers sitting in prison.

@ Drudged up:
lol, o so true, I love the Drudge report.
Some have already pointed this out/asked the question, but why is it that some candidates criticize the current administration instead of voicing their own plans for(if they get it)their 4 years in the White house(if it isn’t destroyed in any way by then)?

Perhaps the good senator fails to understand that the concepts of radical Islam, the extremely convoluted complications of factional fighting, religious zealotry, and all the various hands involved in global terrorism are indeed situated in Iraq. And in Saudi Arabia, and Iran, and Pakistan, and more. But I’m just a working smoe, and he’s an important political figure. Yea Bushes policies are screwed, but what exactly do the Democrats have for a plan? International cooperation? Sure, China and Russia will show their hands in this scheme, I’m sure the honorable senator knows about all that too.

How soon we Americans forget what forced us into this war. The war in Iraq is only part of the big picture! We were told and yea it is true, this will be a LONG drawn out fight! We must stick to it or surely it will be our defeat. If we as Americans back down, we will have NO ONE to blame but OURSELVES when we are attacked again. It will not be a matter of IF but of WHEN we are attacked again. The terrorists have made that clear many times already that they want to attack again and again. Once with them is not enough. They will not stop until they have completely wiped us out. We have presidential candidates that are choosing to side with terrorists and makes me wonder if they are not terrorists too! AMERICA WAKE UP!!!!

And let me just add one of my favorite Hillary quotes. It is a classic because she is admitting that if we put troops on the ground, Saddam might use his WMDs. Well does (did) he have them or not? As stated previously, the entire world believe he had them and I for one believe they were moved into Syria. Ask Kusinich if he foudn any…
“After shots are fired and bombs are dropped, not all consequences are predictable. While the military outcome is not in doubt, should we put troops on the ground, there is still the matter of Saddam Hussein’s biological and chemical weapons. Today he has maximum incentive not to use them or give them away. If he did either, the world would demand his immediate removal. Once the battle is joined, however, with the outcome certain, he will have maximum incentive to use weapons of mass destruction and to give what he can’t use to terrorists who can torment us with them long after he is gone. We cannot be paralyzed by this possibility, but we would be foolish to ignore it.”

Again, Hillary’s own words. So Senator, were there WMDs or not? Your last sentence from the Oct 2002 speech have left me hanging for years!
“Over eleven years have passed since the UN called on Saddam Hussein to rid himself of weapons of mass destruction as a condition of returning to the world community. Time and time again he has frustrated and denied these conditions. This matter cannot be left hanging forever with consequences we would all live to regret. War can yet be avoided, but our responsibility to global security and to the integrity of United Nations resolutions protecting it cannot. I urge the President to spare no effort to secure a clear, unambiguous demand by the United Nations for unlimited inspections.
And finally, on another personal note, I come to this decision from the perspective of a Senator from New York who has seen all too closely the consequences of last year’s terrible attacks on our nation. In balancing the risks of action versus inaction, I think New Yorkers who have gone through the fires of hell may be more attuned to the risk of not acting. I know that I am.
So it is with conviction that I support this resolution as being in the best interests of our nation. A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him – use these powers wisely and as a last resort. And it is a vote that says clearly to Saddam Hussein – this is your last chance – disarm or be disarmed.”

I love the character attacks. Shows a sign of weakness. I drink no kool-aid. I state the facts and live by them. I have loads of more quotes too would you like to see them? Makes all the dems “guilty” of going to war to so to pin this on Bush as a lie is completely nonsense. They all had the opportunity to go against it and all did not. And now because it is a tough fight, they want out. I ask you this, if no american soldier died in Iraq and, saddam was dead and democracy worked AND no WMDs were found, would this still be a disaster and would the dems still want us out? Or, would they be tauting it as a success that they voted for?

The terrorists are still a problem in Iraq. They are coming from nearby Iraqi countries to train Iraqis and anyone else willing to listen (including someone so-called US citizens!) to fight us and cause distrubtion of something they see as a threat – freedom!!

The reasons there are people who believe in the War in Iraq is a just war is because there are many good loyal American people who believed in the Goodness of our Leadership. That they believe that our Government is protecting all of US and they know better how to protect US. Yes Obama is blunt with his views of the polictics of the War, but he believes that there is another way to make peace and capture the real forgotten Enemy. There are so many Good Iraq people that are tired of living in a War zone that America has declared. We must find another combat field of the Terror Centers. al-Qaeda is the real enemy and it does not live in Iraq. PS: al-Qaeda is also a virtual terminology of terror centers and is also found to be networked in the US itself.

It is true there are people living in the US that align themselves with al-Qaeda. But we already have a system in place to deal with them. Iraq did not and is working on changing that now that Saddam is and the terrorists are not a threat there. We must finish the job and continue on to the next problem. As we WERE told this will be a long uphill fight and battle. Wars are never easy! Suck it up like a man and quit your complaining!!!

It’s all about the oil. If you believe in sacrificing American soldiers and Iraqi civilians to enrich American oil companies, then support this war.

Hey Global Engineer, if it’s all about oil…why don’t we just take it from Qatar? we are already there..or better yet..drill in Anwar…or off the Cali coast? Or Saudi Arabia? Your arguments lack intellectual reason to say the least.

spike the Poet, Read a book? Regurgitate someones else’s crap? how about think on your own?

Global Engineer is correct, it is truly about the oil. Want proof? Don’t you find it odd that we rarely hear anything about all that oil under their desert?
Are you aware that the Iraqis do not want to pass the “oil law”, the one that gives the lions share of their oil to Big Oil? Has there been any other reason given that hasn’t been proved wrong?

G.E.
We shouldn’t worry about the treasury because it will be replenished when Big Oil pays their taxes on all that Iraqi oil they bring here – right? LOL

No Rinos,
If we already have Qatar on our side why worry about their oil?
We are taking it from a weaker country, one that has the second largest reserves known. That country is Iraq.

Big oil companies buy drilling rights to the oil fields. Under Sadamm those oil companies would have been Russian oil companies or French oil companies. Now those big oil companies will be Texaco, Exxon and Amoco. The Iraqi government gets the money for the oil rights either way, but the oil money from these companies will now benefit the Iraqi people instead of buying sports cars for Uday and Qusay or building palaces for Sadamm or funding terrorist in Palestine. It is also better for America when our oil companies control oil supplies instead of Chinese/Iranians/Russians or French.

The article is one-sided. Senator Obama in the story accused the general of Punting the Ball, not directly answering questions.
So what was the question he asked, and what was the answer he was not satisfied with?

Chuck,
OK, we need oil. Actually, I think we need economical energy, but that’s different line of argument. I think we have to ask ourselves many lives is it worth to get our hands on some more oil.

No Rino’s,
I’m sorry I just can’t follow any of your arguments. I hope you’re happy in your world.

OK, its not just about oil (Operation Iraqi Liberation — get it?) and about the raid on the treasury. It’s also about distracting the American people. From what? From the attack on the Constitution, from the destructive effects of globalism, from the corruption of the politicians. I’m tired. Going to bed. I gotta engineer a globe tomorrow.

So now Global Engineer is saying Hillary and Kerry and Pelosi wanted to distract the country, attack the constitution, and advance globalism by their strong stands for attacking Iraq? But I thought you guys said this war was all about helping Bush’s friends. So which is it? Why did the Democrats all come out so strongly for attacking Iraq? Could it be instead that they shared Bush’s goals of stopping a mad dictator from sharing his weapons with terrorists, but then changed their minds when they saw it wouldn’t help them politically? Hmm, I think we have our answer.

Good post Chuck. The democrats set the hearing for this date so they could listen to the report, but I guess they decided it was so they could preach to a 4 star general about how to conduct a war instead.

Raid the treasury, well the government does waste a lot of money and doesnt balance its budget like I do personally, but I dont believe the govt invaded Iraq to award contract money to KBR etc. The Dems like Hillary voted authorization for the invasion of Iraq because she is a patriot believing their was a threat of WMD, I think Bush and Hillary received bad intelligence but that doesnt mean nothing was accomplished

I disagree with Obama or Hillary on almost every subject, but they are patriotic americans who support our people in uniform. Our enemies are Al Qaida and Iran, NOT THE DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS OR EVEN MUSLIMS. The major problems in Iraq stem from border control – weapons and foreign fighters coming across the border and Sunni and Shia getting along problems. Lets remember who our enemies are

why is this ditz even a senator?

The tragic truth of the matter is that the occupation of Iraq is all about the oil. Sadly, this kind of greed and lack of wisdom will likely be the ruination of western society. Or perhaps I’ve just got this thing all wrong. Perhaps the unprovoked invasion of Iraq was simply a great military strategy. Yeh, that’s it. Let’s send our armed forces into Iraq—instead of into Pakistan where the enemy actually is. This is brilliant. Let’s de-stabilize yet another Middle Eastern country and bog ourselves down for years there and hey, maybe we can go into Iran next…. and well anywhere but Pakistan, because that’s only where Osama is and where they have their central command and where their training camps are and all that.

John, you have got to be kidding me! The right spewing venom? It’s MOSTLY from the left. You try to blame everything on Bush, but you conveniently forget that congress authorized the use of force in Iraq. We would have never gone into Iraq without democrats authorizing the Commander in Chief to do so. You want to blame someone? Blame the democratic congress. If Bush is such an “idiot”, what does that make the democrats who are now saying Bush lied? They must be dumber than the President. Don’t all these agencies have congressional oversight committees with both republicans and democrats? Didn’t congress get the same reports that the president got? Didn’t they both reach the same conclusion? The way far left is now in control of the democratic party and all the democrats are pointing their fingers at Bush saying it’s all his fault, he lied to us. Too many of you are drinking the kool-aid. If that is the case, if Bush lied then all of congress, democrats and republicans need to be removed from office. Because they were not doing their job!!!! Democrats haven’t done squat since taking control of congress except try to hang every problem in the work on the president. Instead of trying to work together and fix things all they have done is blame Bush.

“What a coincidence eh ? after so many years since 9-11 and the start of the Iraqi war the most critical hearings at the most critical time just happen to start near the anniversary of 9-11. Its just a diversion, plain and simple.”
You guys are funny. You ARE aware that both houses of Congress are controlled by the Dems, right? THEY make the agenda. The White House set the deadline for the report to be ready, but the Congress decides when to hold the hearings. Perhaps Obama is going to criticize Pelosi tomorrow for choice of date?

“Petraeus and Crocker, simply put, mouthed the words of the Bush administration. Nothing will change until the Congress cuts off funding. No money – no war”
Did it ever occur to you that, in fact, it was the White House mouthing the conclusions of Petraeus and Crocker, not the other way around?
Congress will NEVER cut off funding for a war. That’s political suicide. They can whine and cry all they like, at the end of the day funding will NOT be refused. What kind of moron cuts off funding for our troops?

A few quick comments…
- Only an idiot (i.e., liberal) would believe that the President blamed 9/11 on Iraq. Show me one quote from Bush or Cheney that substantiates this lie – just one.
- Everyone from Bill Clinton to John Kerry to Hillary believed that Saddam was developing more WMD PRIOR to the Bush Administration. Are they liars too?
- Per the 12 or so UN resolutions that led to the Iraq invasion, Saddam was obligated to prove that he didn’t have active WMD programs in order to avoid the consequences he eventually suffered. He chose not to and we acted on the intelligence we had. Anybody who says President Bush lied us into this war is either a liar or an idiot, or both.

Is this a right wing republican site or what? Many of you are out of touch with world opinion. Bush has hoodwinked you into a phony war, and continues to do so. But why do many Americans still support the administration, when its offered so much lies and deceit.
Peace to you all & may no more US soldiers lose their lives in this mess

“Many of you are out of touch with world opinion.”
Most world opinion is out of touch with reality.
“Bush has hoodwinked you into a phony war”
That’s all you needed to say to prove you know nothing about the history of the situation.
Sorry, but it is YOU who has been “hoodwinked” by far left sound bites.
Go back and look to see what the DEMS had to say about this “Phony war” at the time.

Funny things happen in american politics. when obama sneezes the rest of america catches fires but hypocritically deny they got fire from it!
thats what happens when a potential mind bogling person speaks, thats what happened when roland reagan or john kennedy spoke and thats what happens when obama speaks. all these people were(are) honest and spoke(speak) without fear or favour.
scroll through all the other titles and u would see 2 or 3 comments but when obama speaks hell breaks loose! this guy is a great guy indeed!

Obama is absolutely right when he says this perpertuates the notion that Iraq and 9/11 are linked. I’m glad he’s speaking the truth!

War for OIL!?!?!?!!HAHAHAHAH!!!! Go buy a prius and recycle……at the cost of taxpayers….8 Billion a year, this is about keeping from getting blown up…..i.e. 9/11..nothing more!
P.S.- Venesuela & Iran will be powering your Prius because they “CARE”…….F…M…..Foools@!!!!!@@!@$#@@$^#$&%^

I don’t like Obama. Grandstanding is his thing. There is no way around tying the war in with 9/11. Misguided as the war has been since its inception, we would not be in Iraq were it not for 9/11– attempting to separate the two is wasted energy. Move on to more important issues like getting us out of Iraq.
9/11 is not some sacred holiday; business should go on. Does Congress stop on the day Pearl Harbor was attacked and some 2,117 Americans lost their lives, or the USS Cole explosion, or the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. If we observe one day as sacred then we cannot forget to observe them all. Can our politicians just get on with the business of running this country and stop with all the soundbites.

The audicity of hope… hoping our conutry fails at every corner. Keeping on whining libs, that’s all you know how to do.

It is pathetic that republicans think criticizing the President on Iraq makes democrats traitors.
1) Listening to faulty information without verifying it 2)planning a war without exit strategy 3)going after a dictator under whom Iraq was stable (though he was mad man but so many other dictators who also hate USA) 4)spending billions of dollars every year on this war with no end 5) dividing this country on party lines, all these reasons constitute to stupidity, if not treachery?
Furthur, now will do nothing about Iran, whose President threaten us every day? Why because we are bogged dowmn in Iraq.

actually, 9/11 has everything to do with our going into iraq
we feared saddam, our professed enemy, selling his weaponry to terrorists, the people who had already attacked us
thank god obama/clinton have nothing but slogans….but pray that it won’t win them the election

What will we get for all our treasure and blood being spent in Iraq? The best we can hope for, is a Shiite dominated theocracy with a gloss of fake democracy, largely opposed to most of our policies in the Mideast, allied with the terrorist states Iran and Syria, and implacably hostile to Israel, and not friendly to the USA. And that would be after 20 years of occupation bleeding our country white. All you Jacksonian, hard-knuckled rednecks out there – have any of you thought about the endgame to our adventure in Iraq? Why did most of the great empires in history fail? One word: hubris. Hubris inevitably acts stupidly. Does anyone doubt that this perfectly describes George Bush? I can assure you that Osama bin Ladin has complete faith in Bush’s fatal character flaw, and he believes that it characterizes the USA generally. He plays to this hubris with full confidence that the USA will destroy itself at his instigation. He’s a chess player, he sees to the endgame, and our current leadership does not. That’s why I think it takes an Obama, to beat an Osama. He thinks clearly, he is determined, he will do whatever it takes to destroy Osama, he won’t deter on foolish self-destructive wars that only hurt ourselves, and he looks ahead 10, and 20 years, and more.

It shocks the conscience that a man as basically stupid as Barack Hussein Obama, the Muslim Manchurian Candidate, is actively seeking the presidency.
Obama is not just a moron – he is a dimwitted moron. And that is saying something.

GOD BLESS this great nation and all who dwell within her…..
