Cheney was A F-ING Idiot that got a bunch of other folks sons & daughters killed or maimed for LIFE while he ducked fighting the Vietnam War... What an A$$ Cheney and hi stupid looking, big mouth daughter are.....
My good friend B. has once again show the world what we are capable of. Iran as I had said to my readers was not an accidental explosion but a prelude of things to come. Hence the transparency of Today.
Read between the lines my friends. And you are more then welcome for the HEADS up. ; ]
The Chinese and Russians are laughing so hard at Obama, they can't hear a word he says....Chi-Coms are holding a Clubs Royal Flush...The Soviets a Spades Royal Flush....Obama has a 2 of Hearts, 4 of Spades, 6 of Clubs, 8 of Diamonds and a Joker.
Whatever happens, one thing’s for sure, Iran will not take any notice of words and will ignore any threats, agreements and commitments until “the bomb” is safely in their bag.
The only hope for peaceful resolution of this matter is in the hands of ordinary Iranians. They will need to change the government, including their supreme leader, Ali Khamenei and president Ahmadinejad. It is no secret, that both of them on several occasions threatened the destruction of Israel and its friends. There is no doubt they would use the bomb!
The only other way to resolve this issue is to remove the threat by force. This may be necessary if all else fails.
Saudi Arabia sits at the epicenter while "Rat Man" struts like a rooster in Iran. In the very short term, Nukes in Iran are more of a problem for the Saudi government and the other oil rich kingdoms in the area than for the rest of us so far. The Saudis are sweating sitting that close to the maniacal Iran and they don't like it. As far as the Russians and the Chinks go they will always play the same reliable games they always play. Both nations are enablers and will only support what gives them the better hand. So playing nice ain't in the cards when it comes to help from both of those evil empires and everyone knows it. The Saudis are nervous and would love to see the government of Iran overthrown before the entire area is laid waste.
The committee that investigated "911" said it was more likely that Iran had more to do with it then Iraq. But Bush had a mind of his own, he was wrong or didn't care, he wanted Iraq and now we have to deal with this. But Obama knows what he is doing, just like he always has. We have seen two of the worst terroist of our time go down during his presidency. I have total faith in him.
why do you think Cheney was not allowed to run for President, the man is mad, a mad man. And Cheney has never been right in his war mongol life. Obama stayed in Iraq because he could not just pull our troops out so fast, but they are coming out as soon as possible. And as for Afghan, no one said troops should not have been there, and thanks to our great President we got Bin Laden. But any one who said Cheney was or is right, is not in their right mind, amen. P.S. even Bush said Cheney made him look like he was dark vader.
My apologises: I had no idea that this many people were struggling with a drug disorder or some sort of short bus syndrome. I thought I was on an adult site. Damn Internet, I guess it connected me with some state run mental hospital.
In order to get Iran off the path of a BOMB, one has to introduce all of the Alien Technologies so far developed by the United States. Why? Because, if the US does not, I will bring my LIttle Green Friends From Mars down to Iran in order to develop those Alien Technologies utilizing their nuclear knowledge gained thus far. The choice is up to the United States to be open about Aliens and their technologies. Once the US pushes to Iran, the United States will forever be in decline.
As my readers KNOW I said that was US on the Iran explosion the other night. Now we have MY good friend B. coming out as an out of the way confirmation. It was in fact us and you may all thank me accordingly.
We know what we are doing to those who assume tea bagging republicans would be in a better know how than me and MY good friend B. ; ]
Transparency is HERE. You simply must know where to look.
As has been reported Sanctions have never worked. This is just a smokescreen so Obama can say we tried everything and Russia and China didn't want to come down hard on Iran so they forced us to use the bunker busters to break up their facilities.
Can't use nuclear weapons but bunker busters will set them back a few years and a little note that they will be used again can be sent to Iranians.
Obama should request that Iran's good friends Russia and China send their own nuclear inspectors to take pictures and examine and to be allowed free access with an American or European expert. If Iran says no, then the cat is out of the bag and China and Russia can't say no to the bunker busters.
While i applaud Obama for trying new avenues, I think he is wasting his time. Russia and China are the very nations selling weapons to Iran and "poor little" Africa . We all know that Iran has nuclear bombs, 1 for USA, and plenty for Israel furthermore China and Russia pretend to be oh so diplomatic ...but these two nations are willing to throw USA under the bus for a chance to be the next "super power". Russia is our enemy and so is China , they are dressed in sheeps clothing. These countries are no diffent from the middle eastern countries ...
I tell you, Russian soldiers are planning to plant dirty bombs in the USA ... Russians are more technologically advanced in weaponary than we think. They may not be the richest country, but they have scientists working in under ground labs pefecting weapons that will destroy this nation. DO NOT TRUST THE DRAGON (CHINA) AND THE BEAR (RUSSIA).... they are wolves in sheeps clothing.
We have lost our influence and credibility, when Baby Bush, and war-criminals Rumsfeld and Cheney lied to all the nations of the world in front of the United Nations about the Weapons of Mass-distructions in Iraq. Now we are paying the price for their lies and beginning an immoral war, from which Obama is now finally extricating us. It will take many more years, before we can again claim the moral high ground as a nation. No one is willing to trust us, and no one is willing to trust Israel, who themselves are NOT coming clean about their dozens of nuclear weapons, which the US has also paid for. The Baby-Bush Administration has put us into this mess, and now the Rebublicans and tea-baggers want to plant the blame on Obama by re-writing their recent belligerent history. "Bush has made our bed, now we have to sleep in it." Thank you "Baby-Bush" !!!!
Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.
Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.
Sir, you are delusional. Iran wants nuclear weapons regardless of what the USA says about the matter. This latest report comes from the IAEA and through the UN. But anyone who has been awake, meaning sentient, the past 30 years has already known what the IAEA seems to have discovered--Iran desperately wants nukes.
Bush didn't cause them to follow this policy, and Bush hasn't harmed our credibility. There is, for now, just one question we should each ask ourselves before going forward: Should Iran be allowed to obtain useable nuclear weapons in violation of its treaty obligations? Everything else is just noise.
My answer to the question is that we cannot allow Iran this weapon. Unfortunately there is no way to stop Iran diplomatically or economically since to do so would require a solid front in opposition to Iran, and we don't have it, and won't have it. Ever. Which leaves us just one option...violence. It will require an act of war to stop Iran. What act should we employ?
I don't know, but targeted assasinations would be a start. Scientists and political leaders need to be dissuaded from their current course. If we aren't serious about such a policy then we must go to attack their research and production sites directly. Too bad that Iran has been hardening and dispersing these facilities for decades--ever since they saw Israel, thankfully, attack Iraq's facility.
So what do you want? Do you want a nuclear armed Iran, or not? And if not, then what are you prepared to see the USA do to stop them? We could, I suppose, do nothing in the hope that Israel will succeed, but what a tragedy for the world's most powerful nation to be relegated to spectator status regarding the world's most pressing matters.
Our president, Mr. Obama, is weak, and he's weak in terms of foreign policy as well. This isn't to say he was wrong to go after OBL, or to up the drone mission. But it is to say he had no serious alternative. In the case of Iran, like with Korea, Obama is allowed to make choices, and so far his choice has been to do nothing serious to stop our enemies from further destabilizing the world and making it a more dangerous place for you.
Last...#2.3... so who is to pay for the bunker busters and the mess that the aftermath would bring?
Also, who are the ones we are to send in to deal with this issue?
Ready to send your child or children, relatives etc into harms way yet again?
Where is the money to pay for cost of another conflict/war etc?
And for what personal financial gain? (see I am thinking like a 1%er regarding the financial gain thing LOL)
Do you think the top 10-1%ers are sending their children/relatives to go fight these conflicts? Come to think of it when have they ever done so?
In the republican foreign policy debate on saturday .... the only person who made any sense was Huntsman and maybe a little bit of sense by Gingrige(sp) imo.
We had better start spending our monies here to secure our own country's borders first, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure like bridges, the levees, roadways, high speed rail and tram systems, the electric grid, expansion of wireless etc to rural areas, educate these young people who head into the armed forces in areas of cyber security etc and high tech fighting, and find ways to provide and work on cost effective clean energy production and delivery here in the USA etc before starting another conflict unilaterally.
Hadn't we better refill our coffers and find new revenue streams before trying to put another expensive conflict cost on the citizens of the USA's credit card, seeing as how we are being told by these republican conservative teabagger DINOs that we can't even afford any public safety nets or even something as basic as healthcare, education, firefighters, school meals for needy kids, medications or housing for the poor and homeless and elderly in this time of high unemployment, forclosures, injured veterans and their needs... ...unless of course the grand plan is 'culling' of the masses by sending their children to be killed in foreign lands....
I may be on to something here... Is that why these republican conservative teabagger dinos are trying to control women's reproductive organs... make sure they remain baby making/producing machines... producing more fodder for war?..... or to fill those many for-profit private prisons?
Watching these republican conservatives try to out conservativeteabagger each other was disheartning.... as noted before the only bright spark was Huntsman... but then he will not be the choice of the repubconservateabags and dinos anyway....
Hopefully the regressives and stagnators in congress will get voted out and a new stock of 'leaders' get voted in in 2012.
Maybe we may be able to find some with a modicum of honor..... and a smidgen of selflessness and a big dollop of belief in putting the needs of our country and its suffering masses first.....
President Obama should be speaking to the Russians and the Chinese, these are the very countries that have very cavalierly built and sold the Iranians the parts needed to complete their nuclear aspirations, and armed the Iranians with all the best in modern weapons systems including the ballistic missile that blood money can buy.
President Obama is simply feeling them out; keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer.
If you are comparing the Bush complete screw up from day one Iraq cluster $%#^ to what Iran is capable of, then you are falling for the horse%^%$# the Iranian puppet president is tamping up his own peoples butts.
Ayatollah Khomeini II believes he is a god, his followers, his covert military follow his prophesies as if they are given to them from a god. The Iranian puppet president was hand picked by Khomeini II because his is a complete simpleton who stands up in front of the world spouting what Khomeini II tells him and then they both believe it.
If Russia and China do anything more than swagger, or get in the way of the rest of the world trying to resolve this, it will be because Russia and the Chinese suddenly woke up to the fact that they are well within range of the Iranian ballistic missiles.
Israel can not be expected wait until Khomeini II fires off one his self-fulfilling god prophesized ballistic missiles at Israel, and the US, NATO, the United Nations, Russia, China, and the rest of the world be damned if they think they will.
Conventional bunker buster bombs may or may not be able to go deep enough to ruin Khomeini II plans short term … most feel these are too deep, and there are probable more of these secret locations than currently understood.
I am not for putting thousands of US service members on the ground, that has been shown two different times to be a huge loss of US service member lives, a failing policy, and the United States cannot afford it. Get out of Iraq, get out of Afghanistan.
The United States has in inventory neutron weapons that would end the Khomeini god worshiping military above ground, we have them, and they are usable and would end the conflict very quickly, as well as put Khomeini back in whatever sick heaven he needs to go to without the overwhelming fallout issue, after that drop as many bunker buster as needed.
Stop all talks with the puppet government; refuse to speak to anyone except the psychotic “Supreme Commander Ayatollah Khomeini II god leader” make it very clear to him that time is up, understand that no one believes him and either capitulate to the removal and destruction of the nuclear facilities now or die with your nuclear aspirations.
Give him a dialed down silver bullet display in a remote area of Iran if you think that might pursued him, but being god that might just be one of his latest screwed up prophesy.
The reason the United States elected to us nuclear weapons against Japan was simply because the Japanese believed their leader was a god, and their soldiers were willing to commit suicide before listing to reason, and the nuclear bomb alerted the Japanese soldiers to fact that the Emperor was not a god after all, in the long run saved many thousands of US and Japanese soldiers lives as the Japanese surrendered.
You sure do sound sure of yourself. If Iran is so innocent, why are they so hesitiant to respond to the U.N. report? If it's because the U.N. is just an American "puppet", then thats childish and immature. If they are so innocent, why not man up and PROVE to us they aren't building nuclear weapons? Once they "come clean" or so to speak, problem solved. Global war averted. The end.
China and Russia are ignoring Barack Obama. They watch the news just like you and me, and know the President is broke, lacks borrowing authority, has lost support Congress and of the American people, and is unlikely to be President a little over a year from now.
China and Russia both cultivate lucrative deals with Iran involving Chinese and Russian war material and Iranian oil.
Thank you Republicans for once again putting party ahead of the our nation's interest. When they disrespect the Presidency, no matter who it is, they put the world on notice not to respect the Presidency.
Well look at that, 2 pots calling the kettle black in a row. Did you ever think that if the Dems had not been disrespecting Bush constantly that the Republicans might have a little more respect for Obama. And by the way, this has been going on far longer than that. I can remember Dems comparing Reagan to the chimp in his movie. So get off your high horse thinking this is something new just because it is aimed at your god Obama. It is not.
We run into the same problem with Iran proving the negative as we did in expecting Saddam to ever be able to prove a negative too. Given decades to the contrary, who would believe Iran? Even France, or Russia, or China, won't really believe Iran isn't seeking nuclear weapons, but it would allow them to play their disingenuous game.
So there is no way for Iran, really, to prove itself clean. There never was. We won't tgrust their word, only their action, and nothing they've done for the past 32 years shows anything other than a deep-seated desire to have nuclear weapons. All that should matter to us is the question over whether we will allow them to have those nukes, and, if not, how we will act to stop them.
Anything short of this and Iran will, one day and without doubt, have nuclear weapons. When that happens everything changes relative to what we can do and will allow Iran to do something far more dangerous than merely threaten Israel--they will be more capable of spreading their Islamic revolution to other, non-Shia, muslim nations.
1wizard.....Just what do you think the republican are doing now, nothing to help this economy, Mitch O'Connell "Main goal is make sure Obama is a 1 term President", so how is this putting people back to work, improving our economy. Look at the super committee, the Dems put major cuts on the table, while the republicans only would allow 300 billion in tax, but leave the Bush tax cuts permanently, what a joke. How can we respect Bush when he is one of many who are responsible for the mess we are in, including 2 wars we had no business in. Granted I am not totally impressed with Democratic party either, but at least they are trying to do something, compared to the do nothing parties.
The Democrats and the Republicans are the same party. If you do not understand this, you have not been paying attention. BOTH parties are attempting to foment war. This whole issue is about global hegemony and power. It is about money, politics, and our ill-fated empire. Any questions?
Unfortunately, we WILL be going to war with Iran. It is only a question of timing. Once we have destroyed Iran's regime and replaced it with yet another American puppet, we will have effectively taken over the Middle East.
There is no longer any morality to our military actions. WE are the aggressors. WE are the ones imposing upon others. People complain that Iran is seeking to destroy and control its neighbors, but there is no evidence of this. Iran has not invaded another country in nearly 300 years. If they are trying to build a nuclear weapon, it is likely because it may be the only deterrent to American attack. If Iran can build The Bomb, it may suffice to temper our ambitions against them.
I know this is hard to understand for many conservative warhawks, but the reality is that we can not morally attack every other nation we choose. If we continue down this path to evermore warfare, we will end up a broken empire, just like every other empire that has ever graced this earth.
The only option is to engage Iran directly with diplomacy, at the highest levels. There needs to be treaties to ensure peace. There needs to be a true resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian affair (not just lip-service). And there needs to be a massive pull-back of our 900+ bases around the world.
Or we can just wait for WW3......and history will once again prove our folly.
They need to get DOWN from their high horse. Afterall, being a politician is not all its QUACKED up to be. He can DUCK and dodge all he wants. Whats good for the GOOSE is good for the GANDER. Just send me the BILL.
President Barack Obama says sanctions on Iran are having "enormous bite," but he still wants to work with Russia and China to find more ways of putting pressure on Tehran to halt its nuclear program.
Yep, those "sanctions" have really worked well. Just how did the Iranians get their nuclear and missle technology ? Oh yeah....China and Russia, and Pakistan and North Korea:
the Iranian nuclear and missile programs have received assistance from foreign governments, firms and individuals associated with numerous countries. The assistance—including technological, material and informational—has helped Iran develop indigenous capabilities for its nuclear and missile programs. Iran’s relationships with Pakistan, China, North Korea and Russia warrant particular attention.
I am SO SURE that Mr. Obama's initiative is really going to work this time....telling Russia and China to do something about Iran while they were involved in Iran's nuclear and missile technology capabilities to begin with.
Mr. Obama: FIRE your intelligence team AFTER you get rid of the DOJ and the DHS.
We should tell China and Russia that we will be holding them responsible for any nuclear attack by Iran. If they are going to keep backing Iran, then they will be held responsible.
OK now let's see - which country has invaded, bombed, tortured, sent in drones and killed civilians, sent troops into a country without the country's support, and continues to send billions in handouts to other countries while their own people go hungry - was it Iran? China? Russia? Nope, not those - oh yeah it is the US - now just who is doing the evil deeds? We have met the enemy - it is us!
Exactly where do we get off thinking that we "tell" Russia and China anything? They are sovereign countries and will put their own national, regional and international interests ahead of anyone else's - just as we do. Diplomacy involves making their interests and our interests converge and that takes skill and time - not sound bite tough talk in phony debates.
Lol it's called voting, something Republicans are trying to get rid of. I'll be voting for Obama again, btw. That should get yer blood boiling michael1969 lol republicans are so angry :)
How in the hell did this guy become our leader?......idiot socialist liberals.
The good news being that every once in a while one of you not so smart drop outs come to the boards and remind us why educating our children is very important.
I fail to see OP's point. Russia and China don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, but they oppose using sanctions as enforcement to that effect. Is stating a fact suddenly an idiotic socialist plot?
Unless what you're criticizing is Obama's desire for Iran not to get a nuclear weapon, in which case every current GOP contender except for Ron Paul is an "idiot socialist liberal" as well.
The USA's education system is horrible. We invest way too much money and get very little in return. If the USA had a good education system, there would be very few, if any, Democrats.
Obama will get my vote! My friend's, my relative's, my lawyer's, my neighbore's votes, will also go for Barack. Let the neo-nut haters, like Michael1969-- whine their flat butts off...!
I learned in school that the great thing about our country and our Constitution was that people could have radically different opinions on how the nation should be run, but that the system is designed to force each side to compromise and meet people of opposing views halfway down the isle.
I guess your teacher just told you that liberals are stupid. Not that they have different opinions or values, but that they're just plain stupid. I hope none of my tax dollars ended up funding your education...
The USA's education system is horrible. We invest way too much money and get very little in return. If the USA had a good education system, there would be very few, if any, Democrats.
I understand the republicans ideology that if they wipe out public education, in time they could brain wash every american to think like a republican. Dumb em down and strap bombs to their bodies and tell them they are doing the godly thing. I have to tell you though, it really isn't working out well for Al Quaeda and it won't work out well for the republicans either.
C_D_J55... I like your tag so hope you don't mind me borrowing it until election day. :)
On principle,if you were paying attention, the Dems ran against Bush in 08....not McCain. And it worked. The base was energized by their frustrations with Bush and his failed administration.
So technically yes..he spanked McCain...by running against Bush. It was easy.
I do believe YOU Sir, are the Idiot..... Try a day without Fox news and you might actually see what is really going on in the world... Just so you know
From a historical perspective, no sitting president has won re-election with an economy and unemployment anywhere near Obama's situation. His is going tobe a very up hill battle to retain the white house.
So, Iran is still working on Nuclear weapons, and to think the Dems, the U.N. and every other leftist camp said they had ended it.Now it turns out they kept working on in secret Wow, what a surprise. If sanctions have had this enormous effect on Iran, how can they continue working on it? Answer, because the sanctions don't effect dictators or in this case theocracies, just the man on the street. Causing them to hate us even more. His answer more sanctions that won't work, with governments who say one thing and do the opposite,,,,,, wait, that's our current government. We're Doomed.
@ Homer...... R U saying that the private and parochial schools are responsible for all of the republicans in this country??? Stop all vouchers immediately.
What would you have the president say;something to anger russia and China,and have no chance of talking them into helping?Do you want to invade Iran?Their facilities are buried too deep in some cases for bunker busters,and some are in unknown locations.This would make a ground invasion necessary,does that sound like a good idea?Are you going to enlist?Wars are very expensive,would you support a war tax to pay for this one?Iran has resources that could cause terrorist attacks in this country.Just a few things to consider before getting too jumpy.
From a historical perspective, no sitting president has won re-election with an economy and unemployment anywhere near Obama's situation. His is going tobe a very up hill battle to retain the white house.
That's right, nic. Of course never in American history has one party (guess who?) done everything within their power to make the country fail so that the current president from the opposition party, would not get re-elected. The GOP has virtually crossed the line into treason. The evidence comes out of their own mouths, and their actions prove they meant it. Limbaugh after Obama's election "I want this country to fail." DeMint "healthcare will be Obama's Waterloo." McConnell "The most important thing is to make sure Obama is a one term president." Need I go on?
like a true politician...say something completely stupid and come off as an idiot then believe people will just agree when you say "see black is white".
Obama is doing the right thing. He has spent the last several years repairing damage done by the prior administration to our image abroad, and our relations with Russia and China. Because he has done so, we actually have a shot at cooperation and diplomacy with the help of China and Russia - a shot we wouldn't have had just 3 short years ago. It is time to test those ties and see whether Russia and China are willing to meet us halfway and further invest in our relationship.
If not - at least we see where our relations stand with those two countries - which is valuable in and of itself. Then we proceed along whatever course the administration deems best.
That's better than vapid saber-rattling as Step #1.
Diplomacy, alliances, and foreign policy matter, just look at Libya.
He has spent the last several years repairing damage done by the prior administration to our image abroad, and our relations with Russia and China.
Sorry, but that is 100% wrong. I can tell you firsthand that Obama is regarded as a joke in both countries. G W Bush was well respected and still is. The USA is now considered as being very weak.
You have to remember John that the republicans do not like to negotiate with any entity that is not a republican and some of the presidential candidates have already leaked out the fact that they intend to assassinate Iranian scientists and attempt to destroy the Iranian militia covertly and lie about it afterwards if they are caught should their party take the position of POTUS. It is no secret. They let the cat out of the bag during their last debate.
GWB was respected and still is? That's the most laughable thing I've ever heard! I just read an article in the French newspaper le monde TODAY that mentioned Bush's terrible world image. America saw him as an idiot. Europe saw him as a warmonger. The Middle East saw him as an invader.
The idea that BO has repaired our relations with the world is mostly an exagerated myth held by some on the left. Both the "damage" and the "repair" are greatly exagerated. The arabs think BO is a joke, Pakistan and North Korea did not become any more cooperative, and both Russia and China continue cyberattacks and steal our technology. Russia and China are playing Iran as a useful idiots against us. That being said I do believe BO has done better at foreign policy than many on the right say.
Passiveobserver, plese do not turn to the French for credible information. Respect is more then just words by the way. They may talk about how much they hated bush, but that's as far as it went. Bush let the world know that we weren't gonna take direct attacks on our country lying down. There wasn't a successful terrorist attack on U.S. soil during his presidency. Pres. Bush sent a message to the world, and the world heard it. Talk can be cheap, when it was the time for action, we had a president who knew how to act, and for that I am grateful. Despite what the French might say.
Still playing the Blame Game and denying the opportunity to take responsibility. If we have poor relations with countries abroad, it's because of the incompetence of THIS, repeat THIS ADMINISTRATION. Obamonkey is a disgrace and a faiolure. He should never have been elected. What a bunch of suckers the Dementedrats are.
@ DM7741: "Europeans love Obama and hated Bush." They do love him, however that love for him does not translate into power/influence in the international community, something that most people fail to realize.
China and Russia laugh at Obama behind his back. He's a joke. He's never learned that there are people who care only about their interests (too bad we can't be more like that), not in being our friends.
I love how people are rushing to discredit how obviously destructive bush was to our image worldwide. We had the worlds admiration, sympathy, cooperation, and anything else we wanted in the wake of 9/11. Somehow, Bush was able to squander that in a few short years and make the vast majority of the world hate us.
Writing that fact off as "oh, the countries that disliked us don't matter" isn't pratical, but it -is- ignorance.
Obama has repaired that to a great extent, and it's important. Russia hated us for Bush; he ruined an already complicated, but important relationship.
You warhawks and your saber-rattling, your willingness to talk tough and send other people off to battle for you/us; you're part of the problem.
The last thing our country can stand is another war. Hell, if other countries want to destroy us - they don't need nuclear weapons, they just need to push us into another war that we can't afford. We'll finish ourselves off. You people and your bravado no not the harm you sow.
Homer Adams you must be joking or on something. The world thought GW was a complete moron. He couldn't even put a sentence together.
"Sorry, but that is 100% wrong. I can tell you firsthand that Obama is regarded as a joke in both countries. G W Bush was well respected and still is. The USA is now considered as being very weak."
The world has much more confidence in the USA now than anytime during Bush's reign.
As I remember it, it was the pre-emptive nature of our war in Iraq that hurt the US's standing in the world. And as I remember it, the US preceded that war with loads of diplomacy and pleading at the UN and elsewhere, trying to get the world on board. Some did, many didn't, and as you (John Kimble) say, at least we saw where our relations stood with those various countries, which was valuable in and of itself. The US then went ahead and did what its leaders believed they needed to in Iraq. Obama is on track to do basically the same exact thing in this case with Iran. We all need to avoid the temptation of seeing this through the liberal/conservative lens. Those labels are becoming increasingly meaningless as polititians of both types continue to sell our country down the river.
I say, let's forget about whether we think Obama is a uniter or a Muslim or pragmatic or a redistributionist or whatever label yanks your chain. Forget too about Bush being a doofus or a decider. How well do the president's actions right now on this specific issue serve America's interests, and what do we think of these actions in terms of traditional American beliefs and values? It seems to me, we're soon going to have to get rough with Iran (and about time: that country declared war on us back in 1979, and we've yet to do anything about it). If that's the case, then let's plant military assets in the countries bordering Iran (Iraq and Afghanistan-- thanks, GWB), let's have independent reports publicly detailing Iran's nuclear efforts (Thanks, IAEA), and let's start stocking up on allies. (Elsewhere, I read that the US will be selling the UAE (no friend of Iran) lots of weapons-- thanks, Obama.) So, I see a lot of the right things happening. Some of that stuff is being done by this administration, some was done by the previous guy. Neither of these presidents are perfect, but let's recognize it when each is doing what the other would have done. To mindlessly hate either of them just for being liberal or conservative is to dumb down the electorate. We can't afford that kind of stupidity anymore.
Ask the question, 'how long have Russia and China voted against U.S. backed measures at the United Nations'? Go ahead. Research and see how those two nations linked in an embrace a LONG time ago, and continue to walk lock-step to this day.
You can't see the forest for the trees! I think, PERHAPS, BHO sees this and has to reach out to those two powerhouses as should have been the case a long time ago. An it only took him 3 years and a jab from Romney to do this! Way over due!
I do appreciate BO taking a less belacose tone in foreign policy; however, diplomacy only works if we actually achieve something. BO's weakness is that he has made unilateral concessions without our side gaining anything in return. That is not successful diplomacy, but the classic liberal fault of thinking that if we are nice they will be nice too. BO has done this over and over.
John Doe-You said there wasn't a successful terrorist attack on US soil during GW's time in office. Duh-what was 9-11? The worst strike in american history!
Just a small thing that anyone could have forgotten.
Someone should write down the events of that day before we all forget. It will probably be counted as one of those important days in American history one day.
You Republicans are bunch of low life cowards hiding in fear and proposing war when you have no real proof that Iran has nuclear weapons. Our soldiers are tired from the two wars your lying party got us into. Since you enjoy war so much it would be nice to send all you Republican idiots over there to fight and maybe our country IQ level would be a lot higher than what it is right now.
And what are you willing to do to keep your way of life? Or, is it you're another of those loving, peaceful, woman stoning, decapitating Muslim pacifists we keep hearing about? Please don't forget the peaceful Muslims Obama bombed into oblivion in Yemen and Libya. But, I suppose that's okay because he did it free those people from a dictator. How is his meddling any different than any other Presidents, Exactly? What part of ALL dirty, ALL the time, don't fools like you get? Party not withstanding. Wake up and smell the @!$%# your being fed, moron.
I thought we got into one of those wars because of an attack on our soil. Would you just stand back and take it? Are you saying that they lied about the thousands of Americans murdered on 9/11? Are you American?
Now the other...yea..big mistake. We should have snagged the oil at least.
The sad thing is bigpapa, as soon as Bush got the green light to invade Iraq, he turned his back on our troops in Afghanistan. Afghanistan was just a place to sap troops and equipment from at that point.
So Big Pappa! how many do we have to murder to avenge the 3000 who were murdered. We cause a 9/11 every week somewhere. We are as the hated Palestinians on a grand scale. Please tell me how it is OK to fire a hellfire missile into a sleeping neighborhood to get one guy.
Maybe there was one Jew in the WTC who had the bulls eye on him. The rest of the dead and injured would be collateral damage..... true?
sine there is no draft in this country , and you seem to think that all republicans like war I wonder how many Repub. vs Demo. are in the US military? and who were the the President in in most of the major wars the the US has been in since WWII and which party did they belong to? which Party was in office and ordered the making and the use of the 1st nukes?
Jaxmint, please continue to speak and prove to the rest of the world how ignorant the lefties can become.
I was there. I was in Iraq, I was in Afghanistan. I was in there with others fighting along side them. None of them complained like you are complaining. We had a duty and we fulfilled it. And yes there are democrats in the armed forces. I fought along side many of them. Shoulder to shoulder. When the bullets start flying its not about whether they are left are right, its about you knowing they have your back and you have theirs.
Are you implying if all the Republicans got killed in the Middle East the OWS protestors would rise up (with their higher I.Q.'s) to save the world. I don't see it happening Jax. Really though. keep speaking, keep reminding the world of the ignorance of you and your affiliates.
Israel will eventually deal with this so the US can save face. Nothing new there. But then all you right winging tea baggers will condemn them for doing what needs to be done and vote against them at every opportunity. Even Obama thinks Israel is a pain in the ass but they have the balls to get a job done; and it wont take 10 years.
Why is it that if you don't want to smoke the Messiah's meat pipe, then you love Bush? tea baggers? Come on now, do you seriously think there is any difference between the far left and the far right? They both exclude the vast majority that is in the middle.
Tea Baggers will condemn Israel for doing what needs to be done???? What the hell are you smoking, Gary? It's the Muslim-loving libs who condemn Israel.
If Israel blows Iran's nuclear facilities to Allah, then Mr. Obama will have egg all over his face Internationally and domestically.
The problem with a direct attack on Iran by ANYONE will be disastrous. Pakistan has vowed to support Iran if attacked, Russia and China will intervene, the U.N. will sit on it's hands, and WWIII will be at everyones doorstep.
So Gary, any attack on Iran is not going to be a "right winging tea baggers" problem, it is going to affect EVERYONE. Nice try though.
Maybe Mr. Obama will close the Canadian border if that happens. Nah, he and the DHS have stated the "borders are secure" so not one Liberal could slip through our Northern border to evade a draft.
Israel has taken out selective targets (like nuclear facilities) before without an ensuing war. I predict this will happen again. Time will tell but Israelies are not patient people...
I agree with you Gary. Russia and China won't do anything if Israel bombs out Iran's nuke facilities. They'll condemn it and that will be about all. I would be surprised if Israel doesn't bomb the nuke facilities. They clearly are holding back because of international pressure, but it will happen.
Oh yeah gary, Israel will fix everything by again attacking another country. All this bs about Iran nukes is Israeli/Zionist propaganda, much like the WMD bs prior to the Iraq war.
Right now Iran has a nuclear energy program and is trying to enrich uranium to 20%, for medical isotopes. We have the IAEA monitoring all of Iran's enrichment. When the day comes that Iran starts enriching uranium beyond 20%, then the world can start to worry. Until that time, this is just Jewish propaganda, designed to get American approval for an attack on Iran, by America.
We do not need another war because Israel thinks Iran might one day have the capability of matching Israel's power. All the evidence supplied by the UN is based on intelligence from member nations. I am willing to bet that 90% of the alleged damning evidence came from Israeli/Zionist sources. See below.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli intelligence overplayed the threat posed by Iraq and reinforced the U.S. and British assessment that Saddam Hussein had large amounts of weapons of mass destruction, a retired Israeli general said Thursday.
The Israeli assessment may have been colored by politics, including a desire to see the Iraqi leader toppled, said Shlomo Brom, who was a senior Israeli military intelligence officer and is now a researcher with Israel's top strategic think tank.
They did it with Iraq and they are doing it again with Iran. The Zionist media is in on it to the hilt. They slant every story as if there was actual hard evidence, instead of unproven alligations. No more wars for Israel.
Good for you Mr. President it takes a very intelligrnt man to work with others for the betterment of all. Whereas, any idiot can sign legislation to send someone else's child to war!
He's working to get the ok from the country's with nuke powers to send your kids to war... China and Russia are the country's that still do a lot of trading with Iran and are friendly with them.. The sanctions have done nothing and Iran is doing better today economically than it ever has... I would say he is only over there offering a piece of the booty to try and get an ok to send your kids into a mess that is none of our business... His jew overlords are demanding do it now.. Ron Paul IS going to be the next president and when he comes in the jig is up.. And CHANGE WILL finaly happen. OH NO...
I love true Jews which there are many.. I dislike the small Zionist political groups who have hijacked Israel..See what real jews say on youtube,, there are protests with a hundreed thousand strong on there... Ever heard the bible say "those who are and those who are not but say they are,, are but of the synagogue of satin"? False Jews.. Look at the tribes.. Remember what Jeremiah said about the tribes after the devil worship they had done in the temple at Judah. You need to study Judaism.. They don't believe our messiah is here yet, and that he is not Jesus, but that he will be human and can be turned into one.. One of their leaders who start great wars, who will rebuild the temple and become changed into their messiah... If your a christian what the heck does that sound like?.. The anti Christ.
Ever heard of the largest lobby group on capitol hill.. It pays more in lobby than the s&p 100, though they are mostly the same people.. Enough of this crap.. we need to mind our own bussines.
Barack/Berry whatever name this clown is using today got U.S. deeper into Dopeganistan and is spending more than everyother Pres. in history! Yeah Berrys a great leader; B.S. His Arab spring and back stabbing of Israel is disgusting just like LIPerals!
N.Korea has detonated three, as I recall. India 3, Pakistan 2, Iran will test theirs. And then maybe you'll be in the chosen city to bring nuclear Jihad to the U.S. I'm real glad I live out in t he sticks, as you people are always telling me. Away from the blast and fall out, were I can see them and you coming a damn long way off. I'll bet you won't be so happy to be in those progressive cities if these things get brought in. Lucky you. Far fetched is it? So were the 9/11 attacks, they happened against all the odds. How about a hi jacked jet over N.Y with a nuke on board? Sleep tight, Pumpkin.
Nicodemus..I don't think they will chose my city to bomb, I live in Thailand. They all can detonate as many as they wish as long as it is done in their country. No one since WWII has used it, aggressively.I sleep well in my a/c home, you are the one that might have worry, not me. Keep working, I'm retired.
North Korea's the size of one of our smaller states. If they initiated anything with their primitive weaponry (what essentially we had in the 40s) they will be wiped from the map. And they know it. Russia and China would do nothing to us if we retaliated in 2nd strike in that scenario.
Iran is pretty much the same. Other than they have soviet cold war era armor and air power, they are at the primitive first levels of nuclear weaponry.
I look at both of these nations as bargaining chips for China and Russia. China may have the potential of surpassing us economically but not militarily at present. Russia is behind us militarily. It is in both of their best interests to have some rabid dog place holders (N. Korea and Iran) to confuse/misdirect our efforts.
Really in the long term I see it working out without a big confrontation. Although we are rivals, the receding super-powers (USA and Russia) and the emerging one (China) are not really enemies. All parties stand to gain more through mutual trade and development. Ultimately the crazies like Iran and N. Korea will not be tolerated if they impede progress.
Kudos to Obama for realizing the importance of diplomacy in this process.
Ron Paul is NOT the answer any more than that dimwitted Michelle Bachman. Not every conservative is sold on Paul...not even close! (and Bachman just needs to crawl back from wherever it is she came from!)
I do agree Obama needs to go, but so far I'm not impressed with the choices we have.
They ALL need to go. We need a lottery of voters between 35 and 75 to make our choice from. No politices or parties envolved. Same for senate and congress. Make lobbying illegal because it is bribery. Do away with the vote. Do it a different way, the corruption is everywhere in Washington. Unless we change it soon, America is toast!
Would you rather have a President Romney, who basically promised he would go to war with Iran if they got the bomb? Or maybe President Gingrich, who not only promised to kill their scientists, but promised he would lie to us about it? "It's all deniable!"
Sounds fishy to me. Maybe he just likes to deploy troops and it was planned before this. It might just be a coincidence. Maybe just maybe. Yea thats the ticket.
Yes, we need another bloody war against "nuclear development" and then against "China currency manipulations," to sucrifice another 10,000 young men and 20 trillions we do NOT have. A bunch of Israel-driven morons.
When they have you by the jugular what can you do. Did you not see how they were falling all over each other and themselves to appease their ZioNazi master - nukes, water boarding, torture, assassinations - nothing left to imagination. Idiotic jingoism. Zero wisdom, intelligence, humanity, or common sense. No one was for the betterment of the United States. All were for using weapons of mass destruction on those who don;t have them. Ron Paul appeared as the sane lone anomaly.
No one can become the POTUS without first passing muster with The Lobby. The people just happen to be an hindrance the fathers of the Constitution so thoughtfully left in place. But the way things are going that vestigial organ will soon be hewed into impotency by the Israeli High Command Overlords.
Hey you putzy glorified clerk. Iran says stuff it. So NOW what! A speech?
And Israel? Time to **** or get off the pot dudes! You are about to lose the strategic advantage you have and will simply have to resort to revenge as a strategy instead once Iran has the bomb. Your choice!
...... if Iran gets the bomb ..... maybe then Israel will keep her damn hands off other peoples land .... and what if Iran gets the bomb ? it doesnt mean it will use it .... im more afraid of Israel using the bomb than Iran .........
It is imperative that Iran has the bomb. Ever one else seems to have it...very many of 'its'.
Peace depends on Iran having the bomb. A deterrence that guarantees the avoidance of the deaths of innocent millions of human beings by the savage whims of ZioNazi fascist Imperialists Master Race - The Dammed of Yahweh!
Mr Obama wants to consult with, and get permission from Russia, and China to increase pressure on Iran! Consult with?? A strong leader would not consult with. A strong leader would advise in no uncertain terms of what his intentions were, and then follow through. A strong leader would advise the American people, and the U.S. Congress of those intentions, even if it was a declaration of war in the interest of national security. There is no dispute what Irans intention will be once they have the nuclear hammer. To that end, we require a clear and decisive leader to pave the way. We have no business at all asking other countries permission to protect ourselves, and our allies.
Are you crazy,,, they have thousands of nukes pointed at your house.. And the sanctions have done nothing because Russia and China both trade with Iran today. Iran has a lot of support out of China and Russia... If you don't remember China has over a billion people, has the largest standing army in the world and much of your taxes go to pay interest on your debt that it owns.. A big enough interest payment from us that it finances that monster... So how strong is Obama again.. You need to rethink before you get us all killed just so the false jews can have their temple.
Did you actually read the article? Do you follow world politics? Maybe an even better question...do you understand them?
President Obama is seeking cooperation from Russia, and China, not permission. You see China, and Russia, are allies of Iran. They are also superpowers, so if anybody can put pressure on Iran to drop it's nuclear ambitions, it would be Russia, and China. As President Obama stated, he hopes diplomacy works, but NOTHING is off the table.
I hope this information helps you understand a little better about what is going on, but I doubt it. I have very strong feelings that you're an idiot.
@mouton - Just like Mitt Romney, you are an idiot. We don't have the money to educate our children, fix our crumbling infrastructure or reduce poverty in this country. But we will find the money to start another war in the middle-East. Maybe Wall Street will pay for that war, including recruits from Wall street who will have to serve.
You know who else is trading with Iran? The Koch brothers, the owners of the Tea Party. Funny how the MSM doesn't report on that little story any more.
A wise leader would beat a strong leader any day. Hitler was a strong leader. Lincoln a thoughtful wise one. They don't make them like that anymore.
President Obama's consultation offends the ZioNazi High Command and their feeble minded brain washed subjects in the US. Europe, Russia, China, and all peace loving people with some commonsense are not amused.
Do not confuse a desire for peace and prosperity as weakness, but take it as an abhorrence for the specter of war - and its endless maw and appetite for death and suffering.
You Lie!! Obama hasn't started a war and so can't start another. You need to apologize immediately for your slander.
You Lie again!! Obama has done plenty including the prevention of another great depression. Even conservative economists say this.
You need to get solidly behind the president for the amazing job he's done. He's your president and is keeping YOU safe. Your unamerican attitude gives comfort and support to those that would do America harm. Since you hate America so much you should just move to Iran.
S.J.M....you got it right on the button, know I am switching from Dem to Rep. Dems have no use for usa as is....all they are looking for is making us worst than any 3th nation there is
@S.J.M - The buffoon is the idiot you are and all clowns on the right who had their circus the other day in that town of Michigan, one of them hopes that he will take Obama's job. The buffoon is flip-flop Romney who said that if elected president (which, thanks god, will not happen) he will declare war to Iran. Another war?... After all we have been through for the past 10+ years? Unbelievable! I'm supposing that all of Mitt Romney's wall street friends will join the Army and also pay for that war.
If Mitt Romney gets the right-wing nomination, this will be reminded to him all over his campaign and also brought to the attention of the American people.
At this point, I believe Obama's being extremely careful. Nobody knows what Iran could do now, or tomorrow, or the next day, or month, or year!
He wants to keep the peace, but keep in mind Iran's got a lot of distrust and hate towards us after what Bush did.
The Republicans will serve to fulfill Bush's last wish of complete conquest of the Islamic region - just like the Christians did during the Crusades. It may not be the same exact incident, but if you think about it, the ideals are similar in many aspects.
The problem I see with keeping our troops all at home is that we dug ourselves so deep under Bush that we've generated a lot of animosity in one area - and it doesn't help that we're blaming Obama for the problems of his predecessor. Not ONE PRESIDENT would have an easy job of recovering from such problems - and I guarantee you Congress is Obama's natural foil - remember they can make up a crime to impeach him on, and Obama can't really defend himself from an attack like that, due to how checks and balances work. And trust me, I doubt anyone on this bulletin, even myself, can do any better.
So we can pretty much see Obama is doing as much as he possibly can, he's trying not to trip that minewire, but at the same time, he's doing so bound in chains, so to speak. Congress is filled with men and women who most swear loyalty to the new King George (read: George W Bush) and his Confederate Aristocracy (which is another name for GOP).
If anything needs to go, it's the current knuckleheads in Congress, specifically the House of Reps. But whether anyone will have the intelligence to do so, that remains to be seen.
For all the dumb ass fools out there who want to go to more wars, then you should attend some of the military funerals that former President Bush would not attend, to include many members of congress and the senate. The American people are tired of going to and seeing all these military funerals, burying young men and women in the prime of their lives. Look at all the young men and women wounded for life. It is easy for some of you Monday morning couch potatoes to say go to war, go to war, as a solution to every conflict in the world. Like the fools we had for leaders in the past, this is not the answer. I can't understand how any of you out their are willing to vote for any fool who advocates more war like these fools running for office. Now some of you want to elevate the stakes up to, and including, nuclear war? Maybe that would be better because then it would finally reach out and touch some of you here in America with nuclear fall out. I am an independent, and I have common sense enough to not vote for anyone that will cause the murder of more American soldiers, and our allies soldiers, just to further their political desire for more power, more fame, more fortune, and their party agenda, from the left wing, right wing, or the middle. President Ronald Reagan destroyed one of the most powerful Evil nations in the world with economic warfare. This is why the Russians and china will not support any sanction because they know this is the most powerful war fighting tool in the world. Some of you people out there need to get your heads out of your AZZZesss and start thinking before you show so much disapproval for everything this President is trying to do for this nation. He is not the worst, but just one of the Presidents in a long line of Presidents who have served this thankless country. Vote with common sense, not hate, and stop listening to the bull @!$%# rhetoric from the crazy, brain washing networks, and radio fools. Independents you out number these Republican, Democratic and Libertarian fools, so take control and help the President get this country out of these boots on the ground wars, and back on a better economic track. Stop the party of "NO", and their supporters from continuing the economic war they are raging against the America people. And remember one thing, if there is a god do you believe that god he/she, would tell all those fools running for office, or their ding bat wives, that god he/she, wanted all of them to be President???? I thank that common sense says that only one of the candidates, if he made that statement, could be trusted, and that is the fool who is trying to serve this thankless nation right now, and that is "Pres. Obama". It is time you independent voters out there take back this nations from all these fools by recall, impeachment, don't vote for them, and stop funding these idiots of all the obstructionist, extremist parties, and support what you do have right now in the white house. Ask not what this country has done for you, but, what have you done for this country?
"BUNCH OF DUMB ASS PILGRIMS""A WAR FIGHTER FOR 33 YEARS, OVER & OUT""HOOAY""
How about we send registered Republicans and tea wingers to invade Iran?
All Bush did was punt the Iran problem as he did with most others. Lol... The truth is that Obama has done more to thwart the effort than the right will ever admit to.
If the West attacks, we have will have given the IRI what they seek..... Relevance and a "I told you so moment" to further rally against the West among Arabs and Persians. They want us to bomb them.
Here is another fact...Iran will go nuclear regardless of who is in the White House.
Yes John Doe, it bothers a lot of us. That is why we will vote him out in 2012.
Who are "we"? The right-wing-nut-jobs? You, idiots, couldn't beat him 3 years ago and today, you believe that you will be able to beat him next year? With any of the clowns who are running if the repugnants' primaries? Keep deluding!
Did you know that Israel cannot and will not EVER be succesfully invaded because they have a weapon callled the neutron bomb that can be used to fry enemy troops while doing NO damage to the countryside, blast wise OR radioactive contamination-wise. Nothing but a short burst of localized intense deadly neutron radiation
But they have no defense against a launched nuke and once the genie is out of the bottle he isn't going back in
Cheney was right.
Cheney is a war criminal! Nothing more except a liar also.
Pffftttt..... Obama has vowed MANY things. We're still waiting.
There were plenty of WMDs for 2003 Iraqi war! Saudis had invented them!
Now Saudis are inventing again WMDs in Iran.
What about nukes and nuke facilities in the failed terrorist nation, Pakistan?
Are the US and allies waiting for Osama's followers' attacks with WMDs of Pakistan?
cancel comment
Viewer, Cheney was just a pawn to Abraham's Will
my comment that is, sorry for any confusion
Johnathan, regarding your comments on WMDS which were later
moved by Saddam to Syria for safekeeping by numerous
convoys, you have to ask: Did Syria allow inspection of the trucks that
were allowed in to enter their country just before we launched
our air & ground forces? Or after? Just asking!!!
Cheney was A F-ING Idiot that got a bunch of other folks sons & daughters killed or maimed for LIFE while he ducked fighting the Vietnam War... What an A$$ Cheney and hi stupid looking, big mouth daughter are.....
My good friend B. has once again show the world what we are capable of. Iran as I had said to my readers was not an accidental explosion but a prelude of things to come. Hence the transparency of Today.
Read between the lines my friends. And you are more then welcome for the HEADS up. ; ]
Cheers
Glad I've always been Christian and don't have to follow this BS.
The Chinese and Russians are laughing so hard at Obama, they can't hear a word he says....Chi-Coms are holding a Clubs Royal Flush...The Soviets a Spades Royal Flush....Obama has a 2 of Hearts, 4 of Spades, 6 of Clubs, 8 of Diamonds and a Joker.
Whatever happens, one thing’s for sure, Iran will not take any notice of words and will ignore any threats, agreements and commitments until “the bomb” is safely in their bag.
The only hope for peaceful resolution of this matter is in the hands of ordinary Iranians. They will need to change the government, including their supreme leader, Ali Khamenei and president Ahmadinejad. It is no secret, that both of them on several occasions threatened the destruction of Israel and its friends. There is no doubt they would use the bomb!
The only other way to resolve this issue is to remove the threat by force. This may be necessary if all else fails.
Saudi Arabia sits at the epicenter while "Rat Man" struts like a rooster in Iran. In the very short term, Nukes in Iran are more of a problem for the Saudi government and the other oil rich kingdoms in the area than for the rest of us so far. The Saudis are sweating sitting that close to the maniacal Iran and they don't like it. As far as the Russians and the Chinks go they will always play the same reliable games they always play. Both nations are enablers and will only support what gives them the better hand. So playing nice ain't in the cards when it comes to help from both of those evil empires and everyone knows it. The Saudis are nervous and would love to see the government of Iran overthrown before the entire area is laid waste.
The committee that investigated "911" said it was more likely that Iran had more to do with it then Iraq. But Bush had a mind of his own, he was wrong or didn't care, he wanted Iraq and now we have to deal with this. But Obama knows what he is doing, just like he always has. We have seen two of the worst terroist of our time go down during his presidency. I have total faith in him.
I pray that what I just read was sarcasm.
Cheney was right.
And that is why Obama stayed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
(until election time cometh)
why do you think Cheney was not allowed to run for President, the man is mad, a mad man. And Cheney has never been right in his war mongol life. Obama stayed in Iraq because he could not just pull our troops out so fast, but they are coming out as soon as possible. And as for Afghan, no one said troops should not have been there, and thanks to our great President we got Bin Laden. But any one who said Cheney was or is right, is not in their right mind, amen. P.S. even Bush said Cheney made him look like he was dark vader.
yeldarb27, no sarcasum, just the truth, you betsha.
My apologises: I had no idea that this many people were struggling with a drug disorder or some sort of short bus syndrome. I thought I was on an adult site. Damn Internet, I guess it connected me with some state run mental hospital.
In order to get Iran off the path of a BOMB, one has to introduce all of the Alien Technologies so far developed by the United States. Why? Because, if the US does not, I will bring my LIttle Green Friends From Mars down to Iran in order to develop those Alien Technologies utilizing their nuclear knowledge gained thus far. The choice is up to the United States to be open about Aliens and their technologies. Once the US pushes to Iran, the United States will forever be in decline.
One thing is for sure:
The US intervention in Iran will make situation in the US worser than the current one due to invented WMDs and Iraqi wars.
As my readers KNOW I said that was US on the Iran explosion the other night. Now we have MY good friend B. coming out as an out of the way confirmation. It was in fact us and you may all thank me accordingly.
We know what we are doing to those who assume tea bagging republicans would be in a better know how than me and MY good friend B. ; ]
Transparency is HERE. You simply must know where to look.
Again... YOU'RE welcome.
Cheers
As has been reported Sanctions have never worked. This is just a smokescreen so Obama can say we tried everything and Russia and China didn't want to come down hard on Iran so they forced us to use the bunker busters to break up their facilities.
Can't use nuclear weapons but bunker busters will set them back a few years and a little note that they will be used again can be sent to Iranians.
Obama should request that Iran's good friends Russia and China send their own nuclear inspectors to take pictures and examine and to be allowed free access with an American or European expert. If Iran says no, then the cat is out of the bag and China and Russia can't say no to the bunker busters.
While i applaud Obama for trying new avenues, I think he is wasting his time. Russia and China are the very nations selling weapons to Iran and "poor little" Africa . We all know that Iran has nuclear bombs, 1 for USA, and plenty for Israel furthermore China and Russia pretend to be oh so diplomatic ...but these two nations are willing to throw USA under the bus for a chance to be the next "super power". Russia is our enemy and so is China , they are dressed in sheeps clothing. These countries are no diffent from the middle eastern countries ...
I tell you, Russian soldiers are planning to plant dirty bombs in the USA ... Russians are more technologically advanced in weaponary than we think. They may not be the richest country, but they have scientists working in under ground labs pefecting weapons that will destroy this nation. DO NOT TRUST THE DRAGON (CHINA) AND THE BEAR (RUSSIA).... they are wolves in sheeps clothing.
You don't need a dirty bomb when you can have a Tsunami, Tornado or Hurricane ! God Bless..
wellllll so much for the SmartBlondeChick mantra!! holy poo doo. No body is going to destroy anyone. Please go sleep it off.. sheesh.
We have lost our influence and credibility, when Baby Bush, and war-criminals Rumsfeld and Cheney lied to all the nations of the world in front of the United Nations about the Weapons of Mass-distructions in Iraq. Now we are paying the price for their lies and beginning an immoral war, from which Obama is now finally extricating us. It will take many more years, before we can again claim the moral high ground as a nation. No one is willing to trust us, and no one is willing to trust Israel, who themselves are NOT coming clean about their dozens of nuclear weapons, which the US has also paid for. The Baby-Bush Administration has put us into this mess, and now the Rebublicans and tea-baggers want to plant the blame on Obama by re-writing their recent belligerent history. "Bush has made our bed, now we have to sleep in it." Thank you "Baby-Bush" !!!!
Hans,
Hows that whole Libyan thing going for you and Odummy? You guys really doing a lot to get back out credibility.
Leftist cardshark
Hans
I suppose this guy LIED too????
Earlier today, I ordered America’s armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world.
Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.

Hi Hans,
Sir, you are delusional. Iran wants nuclear weapons regardless of what the USA says about the matter. This latest report comes from the IAEA and through the UN. But anyone who has been awake, meaning sentient, the past 30 years has already known what the IAEA seems to have discovered--Iran desperately wants nukes.
Bush didn't cause them to follow this policy, and Bush hasn't harmed our credibility. There is, for now, just one question we should each ask ourselves before going forward: Should Iran be allowed to obtain useable nuclear weapons in violation of its treaty obligations? Everything else is just noise.
My answer to the question is that we cannot allow Iran this weapon. Unfortunately there is no way to stop Iran diplomatically or economically since to do so would require a solid front in opposition to Iran, and we don't have it, and won't have it. Ever. Which leaves us just one option...violence. It will require an act of war to stop Iran. What act should we employ?
I don't know, but targeted assasinations would be a start. Scientists and political leaders need to be dissuaded from their current course. If we aren't serious about such a policy then we must go to attack their research and production sites directly. Too bad that Iran has been hardening and dispersing these facilities for decades--ever since they saw Israel, thankfully, attack Iraq's facility.
So what do you want? Do you want a nuclear armed Iran, or not? And if not, then what are you prepared to see the USA do to stop them? We could, I suppose, do nothing in the hope that Israel will succeed, but what a tragedy for the world's most powerful nation to be relegated to spectator status regarding the world's most pressing matters.
Our president, Mr. Obama, is weak, and he's weak in terms of foreign policy as well. This isn't to say he was wrong to go after OBL, or to up the drone mission. But it is to say he had no serious alternative. In the case of Iran, like with Korea, Obama is allowed to make choices, and so far his choice has been to do nothing serious to stop our enemies from further destabilizing the world and making it a more dangerous place for you.
Last...#2.3... so who is to pay for the bunker busters and the mess that the aftermath would bring?
Also, who are the ones we are to send in to deal with this issue?
Ready to send your child or children, relatives etc into harms way yet again?
Where is the money to pay for cost of another conflict/war etc?
And for what personal financial gain? (see I am thinking like a 1%er regarding the financial gain thing LOL)
Do you think the top 10-1%ers are sending their children/relatives to go fight these conflicts? Come to think of it when have they ever done so?
In the republican foreign policy debate on saturday .... the only person who made any sense was Huntsman and maybe a little bit of sense by Gingrige(sp) imo.
We had better start spending our monies here to secure our own country's borders first, rebuild our crumbling infrastructure like bridges, the levees, roadways, high speed rail and tram systems, the electric grid, expansion of wireless etc to rural areas, educate these young people who head into the armed forces in areas of cyber security etc and high tech fighting, and find ways to provide and work on cost effective clean energy production and delivery here in the USA etc before starting another conflict unilaterally.
Hadn't we better refill our coffers and find new revenue streams before trying to put another expensive conflict cost on the citizens of the USA's credit card, seeing as how we are being told by these republican conservative teabagger DINOs that we can't even afford any public safety nets or even something as basic as healthcare, education, firefighters, school meals for needy kids, medications or housing for the poor and homeless and elderly in this time of high unemployment, forclosures, injured veterans and their needs... ...unless of course the grand plan is 'culling' of the masses by sending their children to be killed in foreign lands....
I may be on to something here... Is that why these republican conservative teabagger dinos are trying to control women's reproductive organs... make sure they remain baby making/producing machines... producing more fodder for war?..... or to fill those many for-profit private prisons?
Watching these republican conservatives try to out conservativeteabagger each other was disheartning.... as noted before the only bright spark was Huntsman... but then he will not be the choice of the repubconservateabags and dinos anyway....
Hopefully the regressives and stagnators in congress will get voted out and a new stock of 'leaders' get voted in in 2012.
Maybe we may be able to find some with a modicum of honor..... and a smidgen of selflessness and a big dollop of belief in putting the needs of our country and its suffering masses first.....
At least one can hope...
President Obama should be speaking to the Russians and the Chinese, these are the very countries that have very cavalierly built and sold the Iranians the parts needed to complete their nuclear aspirations, and armed the Iranians with all the best in modern weapons systems including the ballistic missile that blood money can buy.
President Obama is simply feeling them out; keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer.
If you are comparing the Bush complete screw up from day one Iraq cluster $%#^ to what Iran is capable of, then you are falling for the horse%^%$# the Iranian puppet president is tamping up his own peoples butts.
Ayatollah Khomeini II believes he is a god, his followers, his covert military follow his prophesies as if they are given to them from a god. The Iranian puppet president was hand picked by Khomeini II because his is a complete simpleton who stands up in front of the world spouting what Khomeini II tells him and then they both believe it.
If Russia and China do anything more than swagger, or get in the way of the rest of the world trying to resolve this, it will be because Russia and the Chinese suddenly woke up to the fact that they are well within range of the Iranian ballistic missiles.
Israel can not be expected wait until Khomeini II fires off one his self-fulfilling god prophesized ballistic missiles at Israel, and the US, NATO, the United Nations, Russia, China, and the rest of the world be damned if they think they will.
Conventional bunker buster bombs may or may not be able to go deep enough to ruin Khomeini II plans short term … most feel these are too deep, and there are probable more of these secret locations than currently understood.
I am not for putting thousands of US service members on the ground, that has been shown two different times to be a huge loss of US service member lives, a failing policy, and the United States cannot afford it. Get out of Iraq, get out of Afghanistan.
The United States has in inventory neutron weapons that would end the Khomeini god worshiping military above ground, we have them, and they are usable and would end the conflict very quickly, as well as put Khomeini back in whatever sick heaven he needs to go to without the overwhelming fallout issue, after that drop as many bunker buster as needed.
Stop all talks with the puppet government; refuse to speak to anyone except the psychotic “Supreme Commander Ayatollah Khomeini II god leader” make it very clear to him that time is up, understand that no one believes him and either capitulate to the removal and destruction of the nuclear facilities now or die with your nuclear aspirations.
Give him a dialed down silver bullet display in a remote area of Iran if you think that might pursued him, but being god that might just be one of his latest screwed up prophesy.
The reason the United States elected to us nuclear weapons against Japan was simply because the Japanese believed their leader was a god, and their soldiers were willing to commit suicide before listing to reason, and the nuclear bomb alerted the Japanese soldiers to fact that the Emperor was not a god after all, in the long run saved many thousands of US and Japanese soldiers lives as the Japanese surrendered.
@ A Messenger
You sure do sound sure of yourself. If Iran is so innocent, why are they so hesitiant to respond to the U.N. report? If it's because the U.N. is just an American "puppet", then thats childish and immature. If they are so innocent, why not man up and PROVE to us they aren't building nuclear weapons? Once they "come clean" or so to speak, problem solved. Global war averted. The end.
China and Russia are ignoring Barack Obama. They watch the news just like you and me, and know the President is broke, lacks borrowing authority, has lost support Congress and of the American people, and is unlikely to be President a little over a year from now.
China and Russia both cultivate lucrative deals with Iran involving Chinese and Russian war material and Iranian oil.
scott-579755
Thank you Republicans for once again putting party ahead of the our nation's interest. When they disrespect the Presidency, no matter who it is, they put the world on notice not to respect the Presidency.
Nothing new their, that is the Republican way.
Well look at that, 2 pots calling the kettle black in a row. Did you ever think that if the Dems had not been disrespecting Bush constantly that the Republicans might have a little more respect for Obama. And by the way, this has been going on far longer than that. I can remember Dems comparing Reagan to the chimp in his movie. So get off your high horse thinking this is something new just because it is aimed at your god Obama. It is not.
Hi Mike S.,
We run into the same problem with Iran proving the negative as we did in expecting Saddam to ever be able to prove a negative too. Given decades to the contrary, who would believe Iran? Even France, or Russia, or China, won't really believe Iran isn't seeking nuclear weapons, but it would allow them to play their disingenuous game.
So there is no way for Iran, really, to prove itself clean. There never was. We won't tgrust their word, only their action, and nothing they've done for the past 32 years shows anything other than a deep-seated desire to have nuclear weapons. All that should matter to us is the question over whether we will allow them to have those nukes, and, if not, how we will act to stop them.
Anything short of this and Iran will, one day and without doubt, have nuclear weapons. When that happens everything changes relative to what we can do and will allow Iran to do something far more dangerous than merely threaten Israel--they will be more capable of spreading their Islamic revolution to other, non-Shia, muslim nations.
1wizard.....Just what do you think the republican are doing now, nothing to help this economy, Mitch O'Connell "Main goal is make sure Obama is a 1 term President", so how is this putting people back to work, improving our economy. Look at the super committee, the Dems put major cuts on the table, while the republicans only would allow 300 billion in tax, but leave the Bush tax cuts permanently, what a joke. How can we respect Bush when he is one of many who are responsible for the mess we are in, including 2 wars we had no business in. Granted I am not totally impressed with Democratic party either, but at least they are trying to do something, compared to the do nothing parties.
So Mr. Obama, what's it gonna be?
You must either attack Iran or ignore it until they attack us.
Iran is not interested in any sort of diplomacy.
The Democrats and the Republicans are the same party. If you do not understand this, you have not been paying attention. BOTH parties are attempting to foment war. This whole issue is about global hegemony and power. It is about money, politics, and our ill-fated empire. Any questions?
Unfortunately, we WILL be going to war with Iran. It is only a question of timing. Once we have destroyed Iran's regime and replaced it with yet another American puppet, we will have effectively taken over the Middle East.
There is no longer any morality to our military actions. WE are the aggressors. WE are the ones imposing upon others. People complain that Iran is seeking to destroy and control its neighbors, but there is no evidence of this. Iran has not invaded another country in nearly 300 years. If they are trying to build a nuclear weapon, it is likely because it may be the only deterrent to American attack. If Iran can build The Bomb, it may suffice to temper our ambitions against them.
I know this is hard to understand for many conservative warhawks, but the reality is that we can not morally attack every other nation we choose. If we continue down this path to evermore warfare, we will end up a broken empire, just like every other empire that has ever graced this earth.
The only option is to engage Iran directly with diplomacy, at the highest levels. There needs to be treaties to ensure peace. There needs to be a true resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian affair (not just lip-service). And there needs to be a massive pull-back of our 900+ bases around the world.
Or we can just wait for WW3......and history will once again prove our folly.
Laura - This is old info, but is directed as a response to your jab at the 'do nothing parties'...
http://news.firedoglake.com/2010/02/23/house-has-passed-290-bills-which-have-stalled-in-the-senate/
Well if this is the lead up to bombing them at least put ALL the evidence out there (classified also) so everyone can see it.
We don't want another WMD again.
Pakistan not only acquired WMDs, but also sold the technologies to Iran, North Korea and some more rogue nations.
First on the list for eliminating WMDs should be Pakistan.
The Obama administration won't present all the "evidence" because, if it did, we'd be able to see just how bogus it is.
One can but hope that the Russians and the Chinese will have the good sense to tell Obama where to shove his sanctions.
Hi Stesilaus,
Do you honestly think that Iran does NOT want to develop nuclear weapons?
Reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
Now, go away or I shall taunt you a second time!
OH OH! Iran is in trouble now! I'm sure they're quacking in their boots. Whats Obama going to do, issue a sternly worded letter?
If he does, I actually hope to see them "QUACKING" in their boots.
LOL.
Let's see if their loony leader can duck these new charges!
Too bad the Cheney administration was so remiss in containing Iran's and North Korea's nuclear weaponry ambitions.
They need to get DOWN from their high horse. Afterall, being a politician is not all its QUACKED up to be. He can DUCK and dodge all he wants. Whats good for the GOOSE is good for the GANDER. Just send me the BILL.
China and Russia side with evil...nothing new.
Yep, those "sanctions" have really worked well. Just how did the Iranians get their nuclear and missle technology ? Oh yeah....China and Russia, and Pakistan and North Korea:
I am SO SURE that Mr. Obama's initiative is really going to work this time....telling Russia and China to do something about Iran while they were involved in Iran's nuclear and missile technology capabilities to begin with.
Mr. Obama: FIRE your intelligence team AFTER you get rid of the DOJ and the DHS.
HAH! Evil? How much turmoil can the US assume responsibility for and still be seen as more legitimate than present day China or Russia?
We should tell China and Russia that we will be holding them responsible for any nuclear attack by Iran. If they are going to keep backing Iran, then they will be held responsible.
Hmm, they sided with the Allies during the war, so I guess you're right :O
OK now let's see - which country has invaded, bombed, tortured, sent in drones and killed civilians, sent troops into a country without the country's support, and continues to send billions in handouts to other countries while their own people go hungry - was it Iran? China? Russia? Nope, not those - oh yeah it is the US - now just who is doing the evil deeds? We have met the enemy - it is us!
Irene - Glad to see that someone else thinks Pogo contained a lot of wisdom.
Exactly where do we get off thinking that we "tell" Russia and
China anything? They are sovereign countries and will put their own national, regional and international interests ahead of anyone else's - just as we do. Diplomacy involves making their interests and our interests converge and that takes skill and time - not sound bite tough talk in phony debates.
I am waiting for my breaking point [thought from GOD] so as to be very resolute before pulling the trigger.
Ernest, This is God and I'm talking to you: keep your fingers off the trigger
kevin, Your not God so keep your finger off the trigger
How in the hell did this guy become our leader?......idiot socialist liberals.
By beating the last idiot in the White House =P
He wasn't running against the last idiot in the White House.
More proof fb...good job
Michael1969:
Obama beat Carter? Wow...........
Lol it's called voting, something Republicans are trying to get rid of. I'll be voting for Obama again, btw. That should get yer blood boiling michael1969 lol republicans are so angry :)
The good news being that every once in a while one of you not so smart drop outs come to the boards and remind us why educating our children is very important.
..... me too retrostar ..... obama 2012
I fail to see OP's point. Russia and China don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, but they oppose using sanctions as enforcement to that effect. Is stating a fact suddenly an idiotic socialist plot?
Unless what you're criticizing is Obama's desire for Iran not to get a nuclear weapon, in which case every current GOP contender except for Ron Paul is an "idiot socialist liberal" as well.
mikela:
The USA's education system is horrible. We invest way too much money and get very little in return. If the USA had a good education system, there would be very few, if any, Democrats.
Obama will get my vote! My friend's, my relative's, my lawyer's, my neighbore's votes, will also go for Barack. Let the neo-nut haters, like Michael1969-- whine their flat butts off...!
Obama wins in 2012! No doubt...!
Homer,
I learned in school that the great thing about our country and our Constitution was that people could have radically different opinions on how the nation should be run, but that the system is designed to force each side to compromise and meet people of opposing views halfway down the isle.
I guess your teacher just told you that liberals are stupid. Not that they have different opinions or values, but that they're just plain stupid. I hope none of my tax dollars ended up funding your education...
I understand the republicans ideology that if they wipe out public education, in time they could brain wash every american to think like a republican. Dumb em down and strap bombs to their bodies and tell them they are doing the godly thing. I have to tell you though, it really isn't working out well for Al Quaeda and it won't work out well for the republicans either.
C_D_J55... I like your tag so hope you don't mind me borrowing it until election day. :)
Obama wins in 2012! No doubt...!
On principle,if you were paying attention, the Dems ran against Bush in 08....not McCain. And it worked. The base was energized by their frustrations with Bush and his failed administration.
So technically yes..he spanked McCain...by running against Bush. It was easy.
Try again.
I do believe YOU Sir, are the Idiot..... Try a day without Fox news and you might actually see what is really going on in the world... Just so you know
From a historical perspective, no sitting president has won re-election with an economy and unemployment anywhere near Obama's situation. His is going tobe a very up hill battle to retain the white house.
So, Iran is still working on Nuclear weapons, and to think the Dems, the U.N. and every other leftist camp said they had ended it.Now it turns out they kept working on in secret Wow, what a surprise. If sanctions have had this enormous effect on Iran, how can they continue working on it? Answer, because the sanctions don't effect dictators or in this case theocracies, just the man on the street. Causing them to hate us even more. His answer more sanctions that won't work, with governments who say one thing and do the opposite,,,,,, wait, that's our current government. We're Doomed.
@ Homer...... R U saying that the private and parochial schools are responsible for all of the republicans in this country??? Stop all vouchers immediately.
What would you have the president say;something to anger russia and China,and have no chance of talking them into helping?Do you want to invade Iran?Their facilities are buried too deep in some cases for bunker busters,and some are in unknown locations.This would make a ground invasion necessary,does that sound like a good idea?Are you going to enlist?Wars are very expensive,would you support a war tax to pay for this one?Iran has resources that could cause terrorist attacks in this country.Just a few things to consider before getting too jumpy.
That's right, nic. Of course never in American history has one party (guess who?) done everything within their power to make the country fail so that the current president from the opposition party, would not get re-elected. The GOP has virtually crossed the line into treason. The evidence comes out of their own mouths, and their actions prove they meant it. Limbaugh after Obama's election "I want this country to fail." DeMint "healthcare will be Obama's Waterloo." McConnell "The most important thing is to make sure Obama is a one term president." Need I go on?
fb
like a true politician...say something completely stupid and come off as an idiot then believe people will just agree when you say "see black is white".
Thanks for the laugh.
Obama is doing the right thing. He has spent the last several years repairing damage done by the prior administration to our image abroad, and our relations with Russia and China. Because he has done so, we actually have a shot at cooperation and diplomacy with the help of China and Russia - a shot we wouldn't have had just 3 short years ago. It is time to test those ties and see whether Russia and China are willing to meet us halfway and further invest in our relationship.
If not - at least we see where our relations stand with those two countries - which is valuable in and of itself. Then we proceed along whatever course the administration deems best.
That's better than vapid saber-rattling as Step #1.
Diplomacy, alliances, and foreign policy matter, just look at Libya.
Obama need to keep his mourh shut and TRY to take care of our problems. Let Isreal worry about Iran.
John Kimble:
Yes, just look at the mess in Libya...
Sorry, but that is 100% wrong. I can tell you firsthand that Obama is regarded as a joke in both countries. G W Bush was well respected and still is. The USA is now considered as being very weak.
"Diplomacy, alliances, and foreign policy matter, just look at Libya."
John Kimble....Would you mind if your wife or your daughters moved to Libya after Sharia Law is enacted within the country ? Just a minor question.
Yep, that "democracy" thing really worked in Libya and the other ME Spring countries.
You must be a black assed coward just like bamie, the day will prove bamie is a terriost plant
Bobl: You got it right.
Israel can handle at two Irans at one time. Hope all know the history of Israel.
Leave it to Israel to handle Iran and Israel does not care much for the labels available on earth like bad guys, Zionists and so on.
The US leaders should focus on the economy in the US.
You have to remember John that the republicans do not like to negotiate with any entity that is not a republican and some of the presidential candidates have already leaked out the fact that they intend to assassinate Iranian scientists and attempt to destroy the Iranian militia covertly and lie about it afterwards if they are caught should their party take the position of POTUS. It is no secret. They let the cat out of the bag during their last debate.
Homer,
GWB was respected and still is? That's the most laughable thing I've ever heard! I just read an article in the French newspaper le monde TODAY that mentioned Bush's terrible world image. America saw him as an idiot. Europe saw him as a warmonger. The Middle East saw him as an invader.
Homer hasn't traveled much. Europeans love Obama and hated Bush.
Wasnt the democrats in charge of the house and senate, so how is it Bush's fault? just wondering.
It is always "FIRST HAND" with guys like Homer. First hand is FOX usually.
The idea that BO has repaired our relations with the world is mostly an exagerated myth held by some on the left. Both the "damage" and the "repair" are greatly exagerated. The arabs think BO is a joke, Pakistan and North Korea did not become any more cooperative, and both Russia and China continue cyberattacks and steal our technology. Russia and China are playing Iran as a useful idiots against us. That being said I do believe BO has done better at foreign policy than many on the right say.
Go through Asia. They make fun of Obama day in and out. Hell they have him selling watermellon shakes at KFC..that is not kidding. Do a google search.
Obama, biggest joke since Carter..maybe since Woodrow Wilson!
Passiveobserver, plese do not turn to the French for credible information. Respect is more then just words by the way. They may talk about how much they hated bush, but that's as far as it went. Bush let the world know that we weren't gonna take direct attacks on our country lying down. There wasn't a successful terrorist attack on U.S. soil during his presidency. Pres. Bush sent a message to the world, and the world heard it. Talk can be cheap, when it was the time for action, we had a president who knew how to act, and for that I am grateful. Despite what the French might say.
Still playing the Blame Game and denying the opportunity to take responsibility. If we have poor relations with countries abroad, it's because of the incompetence of THIS, repeat THIS ADMINISTRATION. Obamonkey is a disgrace and a faiolure. He should never have been elected. What a bunch of suckers the Dementedrats are.
@ DM7741: "Europeans love Obama and hated Bush." They do love him, however that love for him does not translate into power/influence in the international community, something that most people fail to realize.
China and Russia laugh at Obama behind his back. He's a joke. He's never learned that there are people who care only about their interests (too bad we can't be more like that), not in being our friends.
I love how people are rushing to discredit how obviously destructive bush was to our image worldwide. We had the worlds admiration, sympathy, cooperation, and anything else we wanted in the wake of 9/11. Somehow, Bush was able to squander that in a few short years and make the vast majority of the world hate us.
Writing that fact off as "oh, the countries that disliked us don't matter" isn't pratical, but it -is- ignorance.
Obama has repaired that to a great extent, and it's important. Russia hated us for Bush; he ruined an already complicated, but important relationship.
You warhawks and your saber-rattling, your willingness to talk tough and send other people off to battle for you/us; you're part of the problem.
The last thing our country can stand is another war. Hell, if other countries want to destroy us - they don't need nuclear weapons, they just need to push us into another war that we can't afford. We'll finish ourselves off. You people and your bravado no not the harm you sow.
Homer Adams you must be joking or on something. The world thought GW was a complete moron. He couldn't even put a sentence together.
The world has much more confidence in the USA now than anytime during Bush's reign.
As I remember it, it was the pre-emptive nature of our war in Iraq that hurt the US's standing in the world. And as I remember it, the US preceded that war with loads of diplomacy and pleading at the UN and elsewhere, trying to get the world on board. Some did, many didn't, and as you (John Kimble) say, at least we saw where our relations stood with those various countries, which was valuable in and of itself. The US then went ahead and did what its leaders believed they needed to in Iraq. Obama is on track to do basically the same exact thing in this case with Iran. We all need to avoid the temptation of seeing this through the liberal/conservative lens. Those labels are becoming increasingly meaningless as polititians of both types continue to sell our country down the river.
I say, let's forget about whether we think Obama is a uniter or a Muslim or pragmatic or a redistributionist or whatever label yanks your chain. Forget too about Bush being a doofus or a decider. How well do the president's actions right now on this specific issue serve America's interests, and what do we think of these actions in terms of traditional American beliefs and values? It seems to me, we're soon going to have to get rough with Iran (and about time: that country declared war on us back in 1979, and we've yet to do anything about it). If that's the case, then let's plant military assets in the countries bordering Iran (Iraq and Afghanistan-- thanks, GWB), let's have independent reports publicly detailing Iran's nuclear efforts (Thanks, IAEA), and let's start stocking up on allies. (Elsewhere, I read that the US will be selling the UAE (no friend of Iran) lots of weapons-- thanks, Obama.) So, I see a lot of the right things happening. Some of that stuff is being done by this administration, some was done by the previous guy. Neither of these presidents are perfect, but let's recognize it when each is doing what the other would have done. To mindlessly hate either of them just for being liberal or conservative is to dumb down the electorate. We can't afford that kind of stupidity anymore.
You people argue over who is liked better?
Ask the question, 'how long have Russia and China voted against U.S. backed measures at the United Nations'? Go ahead. Research and see how those two nations linked in an embrace a LONG time ago, and continue to walk lock-step to this day.
You can't see the forest for the trees! I think, PERHAPS, BHO sees this and has to reach out to those two powerhouses as should have been the case a long time ago. An it only took him 3 years and a jab from Romney to do this! Way over due!
I do appreciate BO taking a less belacose tone in foreign policy; however, diplomacy only works if we actually achieve something. BO's weakness is that he has made unilateral concessions without our side gaining anything in return. That is not successful diplomacy, but the classic liberal fault of thinking that if we are nice they will be nice too. BO has done this over and over.
John Doe-You said there wasn't a successful terrorist attack on US soil during GW's time in office. Duh-what was 9-11? The worst strike in american history!
Since 9-11. I stand corrected.
Just a small thing that anyone could have forgotten.
Someone should write down the events of that day before we all forget. It will probably be counted as one of those important days in American history one day.
Jerr72, you're suspended for a week for violating #1 and #5 of the Code of Honor.
Dear Iran
Please dont make the bomb. You make me sad!
Obama
Dear Obama,
Thanks but I really really wanna build one.. It makes me happy.
But I don't want you sad. Is there anything I can do to ease you saddness.
Love
Iran
N. Korea has been making bombs and defying the US. What could all the US and allies do?
You Republicans are bunch of low life cowards hiding in fear and proposing war when you have no real proof that Iran has nuclear weapons. Our soldiers are tired from the two wars your lying party got us into. Since you enjoy war so much it would be nice to send all you Republican idiots over there to fight and maybe our country IQ level would be a lot higher than what it is right now.
jax;
And what are you willing to do to keep your way of life? Or, is it you're another of those loving, peaceful, woman stoning, decapitating Muslim pacifists we keep hearing about? Please don't forget the peaceful Muslims Obama bombed into oblivion in Yemen and Libya. But, I suppose that's okay because he did it free those people from a dictator. How is his meddling any different than any other Presidents, Exactly? What part of ALL dirty, ALL the time, don't fools like you get? Party not withstanding. Wake up and smell the @!$%# your being fed, moron.
Jax,
I thought we got into one of those wars because of an attack on our soil. Would you just stand back and take it? Are you saying that they lied about the thousands of Americans murdered on 9/11? Are you American?
Now the other...yea..big mistake. We should have snagged the oil at least.
I thought it was Obama saying that they are about to make a bomb? Is he a republican now?
The sad thing is bigpapa, as soon as Bush got the green light to invade Iraq, he turned his back on our troops in Afghanistan. Afghanistan was just a place to sap troops and equipment from at that point.
So Big Pappa! how many do we have to murder to avenge the 3000 who were murdered. We cause a 9/11 every week somewhere. We are as the hated Palestinians on a grand scale. Please tell me how it is OK to fire a hellfire missile into a sleeping neighborhood to get one guy.
Maybe there was one Jew in the WTC who had the bulls eye on him. The rest of the dead and injured would be collateral damage..... true?
jaxminst
sine there is no draft in this country , and you seem to think that all republicans like war I wonder how many Repub. vs Demo. are in the US military? and who were the the President in in most of the major wars the the US has been in since WWII and which party did they belong to? which Party was in office and ordered the making and the use of the 1st nukes?
Jaxmint, please continue to speak and prove to the rest of the world how ignorant the lefties can become.
I was there. I was in Iraq, I was in Afghanistan. I was in there with others fighting along side them. None of them complained like you are complaining. We had a duty and we fulfilled it. And yes there are democrats in the armed forces. I fought along side many of them. Shoulder to shoulder. When the bullets start flying its not about whether they are left are right, its about you knowing they have your back and you have theirs.
Are you implying if all the Republicans got killed in the Middle East the OWS protestors would rise up (with their higher I.Q.'s) to save the world. I don't see it happening Jax. Really though. keep speaking, keep reminding the world of the ignorance of you and your affiliates.
John Doe - Thank you for your service!
@John Doe-2241225 - Can you remind us the reason(s) why you were sent to fight the war in Iraq? Did you save the world by fighting the war in Iraq?
jaxminst, don't make it personal.
You're suspended for a day for violating #1 of the Code of Honor.
David,
I don't have an answer to that. But we didn't start it...but we will finish it. The Palestinians would like us anyway.
your nuts, you are!!! How about something constructive, not like a child talking.
Israel will eventually deal with this so the US can save face. Nothing new there. But then all you right winging tea baggers will condemn them for doing what needs to be done and vote against them at every opportunity. Even Obama thinks Israel is a pain in the ass but they have the balls to get a job done; and it wont take 10 years.
Why is it that if you don't want to smoke the Messiah's meat pipe, then you love Bush? tea baggers? Come on now, do you seriously think there is any difference between the far left and the far right? They both exclude the vast majority that is in the middle.
Tea Baggers will condemn Israel for doing what needs to be done???? What the hell are you smoking, Gary? It's the Muslim-loving libs who condemn Israel.
lol you said balls
If Israel blows Iran's nuclear facilities to Allah, then Mr. Obama will have egg all over his face Internationally and domestically.
The problem with a direct attack on Iran by ANYONE will be disastrous. Pakistan has vowed to support Iran if attacked, Russia and China will intervene, the U.N. will sit on it's hands, and WWIII will be at everyones doorstep.
So Gary, any attack on Iran is not going to be a "right winging tea baggers" problem, it is going to affect EVERYONE. Nice try though.
Maybe Mr. Obama will close the Canadian border if that happens. Nah, he and the DHS have stated the "borders are secure" so not one Liberal could slip through our Northern border to evade a draft.
Israel has taken out selective targets (like nuclear facilities) before without an ensuing war. I predict this will happen again. Time will tell but Israelies are not patient people...
Gary, I think your with the wrong party....
I agree with you Gary. Russia and China won't do anything if Israel bombs out Iran's nuke facilities. They'll condemn it and that will be about all. I would be surprised if Israel doesn't bomb the nuke facilities. They clearly are holding back because of international pressure, but it will happen.
If someone uses an Iranian nuke to nuke Iran, the "signature" of the bomb, will point to Iran blowing themselves up, thus avoiding further conflict.
lol..you said he said balls, so you said balls too....
Oh yeah gary, Israel will fix everything by again attacking another country. All this bs about Iran nukes is Israeli/Zionist propaganda, much like the WMD bs prior to the Iraq war.
Right now Iran has a nuclear energy program and is trying to enrich uranium to 20%, for medical isotopes. We have the IAEA monitoring all of Iran's enrichment. When the day comes that Iran starts enriching uranium beyond 20%, then the world can start to worry. Until that time, this is just Jewish propaganda, designed to get American approval for an attack on Iran, by America.
We do not need another war because Israel thinks Iran might one day have the capability of matching Israel's power. All the evidence supplied by the UN is based on intelligence from member nations. I am willing to bet that 90% of the alleged damning evidence came from Israeli/Zionist sources. See below.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli intelligence overplayed the threat posed by Iraq and reinforced the U.S. and British assessment that Saddam Hussein had large amounts of weapons of mass destruction, a retired Israeli general said Thursday.
The Israeli assessment may have been colored by politics, including a desire to see the Iraqi leader toppled, said Shlomo Brom, who was a senior Israeli military intelligence officer and is now a researcher with Israel's top strategic think tank.
They did it with Iraq and they are doing it again with Iran. The Zionist media is in on it to the hilt. They slant every story as if there was actual hard evidence, instead of unproven alligations. No more wars for Israel.
This guy would sell a blind lady a color television.
1-The blind can still get much enjoyment/information from television.
2-Do they even make B/W TVs nowadays?
That would make her color blind right ??
Good for you Mr. President it takes a very intelligrnt man to work with others for the betterment of all. Whereas, any idiot can sign legislation to send someone else's child to war!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!
Yeah he's super smart, I think he totally deserves to be President, what based on all his "accomplishments".
He's working to get the ok from the country's with nuke powers to send your kids to war... China and Russia are the country's that still do a lot of trading with Iran and are friendly with them.. The sanctions have done nothing and Iran is doing better today economically than it ever has... I would say he is only over there offering a piece of the booty to try and get an ok to send your kids into a mess that is none of our business... His jew overlords are demanding do it now.. Ron Paul IS going to be the next president and when he comes in the jig is up.. And CHANGE WILL finaly happen. OH NO...
Jew overlords? My my my Herr care4mycountry, get the box cars ready.
I love true Jews which there are many.. I dislike the small Zionist political groups who have hijacked Israel..See what real jews say on youtube,, there are protests with a hundreed thousand strong on there... Ever heard the bible say "those who are and those who are not but say they are,, are but of the synagogue of satin"? False Jews.. Look at the tribes.. Remember what Jeremiah said about the tribes after the devil worship they had done in the temple at Judah. You need to study Judaism.. They don't believe our messiah is here yet, and that he is not Jesus, but that he will be human and can be turned into one.. One of their leaders who start great wars, who will rebuild the temple and become changed into their messiah... If your a christian what the heck does that sound like?.. The anti Christ.
Ever heard of the largest lobby group on capitol hill.. It pays more in lobby than the s&p 100, though they are mostly the same people.. Enough of this crap.. we need to mind our own bussines.
and then there is Obama.
It takes an intelligent man to understand an intelligrnt.
Barack/Berry whatever name this clown is using today got U.S. deeper into Dopeganistan and is spending more than everyother Pres. in history! Yeah Berrys a great leader; B.S. His Arab spring and back stabbing of Israel is disgusting just like LIPerals!
Care for my country-You do not get to decide who ia a "treu Jew". You are an idiot at best, and also an anti-semite.
What is an 'intelligrnt' man?, is it one who knows how to spell?
branxoz: It's one that knows the difference between a spelling error and a typo. Guess that leaves you out :)
OBAMA!...Mind your own bisiness and let Isreal take care of their own problems because we have enough of our own! Sit down and shut up!
Most likely Israel has shown restraint only to appease Obama. They won't wait until it is too late to protect themselves from sworn enemies.
Gary..And they shouldn't but it is their problem.
It's everyone's problem. You are correct Gary. I hope the Israeli's do something before they have it. Once they have it, there is no going back.
Sounds KIND of familiar! How's that strategy working out with N. Korea. How many bombs do they have by now 20? 30?
David..But how many have they used?
Bobl;
N.Korea has detonated three, as I recall. India 3, Pakistan 2, Iran will test theirs. And then maybe you'll be in the chosen city to bring nuclear Jihad to the U.S. I'm real glad I live out in t he sticks, as you people are always telling me. Away from the blast and fall out, were I can see them and you coming a damn long way off. I'll bet you won't be so happy to be in those progressive cities if these things get brought in. Lucky you. Far fetched is it? So were the 9/11 attacks, they happened against all the odds. How about a hi jacked jet over N.Y with a nuke on board? Sleep tight, Pumpkin.
Nicodemus..I don't think they will chose my city to bomb, I live in Thailand. They all can detonate as many as they wish as long as it is done in their country. No one since WWII has used it, aggressively.I sleep well in my a/c home, you are the one that might have worry, not me. Keep working, I'm retired.
North Korea's the size of one of our smaller states. If they initiated anything with their primitive weaponry (what essentially we had in the 40s) they will be wiped from the map. And they know it. Russia and China would do nothing to us if we retaliated in 2nd strike in that scenario.
Iran is pretty much the same. Other than they have soviet cold war era armor and air power, they are at the primitive first levels of nuclear weaponry.
I look at both of these nations as bargaining chips for China and Russia. China may have the potential of surpassing us economically but not militarily at present. Russia is behind us militarily. It is in both of their best interests to have some rabid dog place holders (N. Korea and Iran) to confuse/misdirect our efforts.
Really in the long term I see it working out without a big confrontation. Although we are rivals, the receding super-powers (USA and Russia) and the emerging one (China) are not really enemies. All parties stand to gain more through mutual trade and development. Ultimately the crazies like Iran and N. Korea will not be tolerated if they impede progress.
Kudos to Obama for realizing the importance of diplomacy in this process.
Change.... Right, sure thing Obama.... The new president Ron Paul can not get here fast enough.
good luck with that.
care4mycountry,mychildren,myparents,
Ron Paul is NOT the answer any more than that dimwitted Michelle Bachman. Not every conservative is sold on Paul...not even close! (and Bachman just needs to crawl back from wherever it is she came from!)
I do agree Obama needs to go, but so far I'm not impressed with the choices we have.
They ALL need to go. We need a lottery of voters between 35 and 75 to make our choice from. No politices or parties envolved. Same for senate and congress. Make lobbying illegal because it is bribery. Do away with the vote. Do it a different way, the corruption is everywhere in Washington. Unless we change it soon, America is toast!
The Pretender in chief as usual beleives Iran sanctions are working? This explains his new deployment of our troops around the area just in case.
Would you rather have a President Romney, who basically promised he would go to war with Iran if they got the bomb? Or maybe President Gingrich, who not only promised to kill their scientists, but promised he would lie to us about it? "It's all deniable!"
Sounds fishy to me. Maybe he just likes to deploy troops and it was planned before this. It might just be a coincidence. Maybe just maybe. Yea thats the ticket.
Maybe the Messiah can go over there and bore the crap out of them.
LOL
Yes, we need another bloody war against "nuclear development" and then against "China currency manipulations," to sucrifice another 10,000 young men and 20 trillions we do NOT have. A bunch of Israel-driven morons.
When they have you by the jugular what can you do. Did you not see how they were falling all over each other and themselves to appease their ZioNazi master - nukes, water boarding, torture, assassinations - nothing left to imagination. Idiotic jingoism. Zero wisdom, intelligence, humanity, or common sense. No one was for the betterment of the United States. All were for using weapons of mass destruction on those who don;t have them. Ron Paul appeared as the sane lone anomaly.
No one can become the POTUS without first passing muster with The Lobby. The people just happen to be an hindrance the fathers of the Constitution so thoughtfully left in place. But the way things are going that vestigial organ will soon be hewed into impotency by the Israeli High Command Overlords.
Hey you putzy glorified clerk. Iran says stuff it. So NOW what! A speech?
And Israel? Time to **** or get off the pot dudes! You are about to lose the strategic advantage you have and will simply have to resort to revenge as a strategy instead once Iran has the bomb. Your choice!
...... if Iran gets the bomb ..... maybe then Israel will keep her damn hands off other peoples land .... and what if Iran gets the bomb ? it doesnt mean it will use it .... im more afraid of Israel using the bomb than Iran .........
It is imperative that Iran has the bomb. Ever one else seems to have it...very many of 'its'.
Peace depends on Iran having the bomb. A deterrence that guarantees the avoidance of the deaths of innocent millions of human beings by the savage whims of ZioNazi fascist Imperialists Master Race - The Dammed of Yahweh!
Mr Obama wants to consult with, and get permission from Russia, and China to increase pressure on Iran! Consult with?? A strong leader would not consult with. A strong leader would advise in no uncertain terms of what his intentions were, and then follow through. A strong leader would advise the American people, and the U.S. Congress of those intentions, even if it was a declaration of war in the interest of national security. There is no dispute what Irans intention will be once they have the nuclear hammer. To that end, we require a clear and decisive leader to pave the way. We have no business at all asking other countries permission to protect ourselves, and our allies.
Very well stated!
Are you crazy,,, they have thousands of nukes pointed at your house.. And the sanctions have done nothing because Russia and China both trade with Iran today. Iran has a lot of support out of China and Russia... If you don't remember China has over a billion people, has the largest standing army in the world and much of your taxes go to pay interest on your debt that it owns.. A big enough interest payment from us that it finances that monster... So how strong is Obama again.. You need to rethink before you get us all killed just so the false jews can have their temple.
Did you actually read the article? Do you follow world politics? Maybe an even better question...do you understand them?
President Obama is seeking cooperation from Russia, and China, not permission. You see China, and Russia, are allies of Iran. They are also superpowers, so if anybody can put pressure on Iran to drop it's nuclear ambitions, it would be Russia, and China. As President Obama stated, he hopes diplomacy works, but NOTHING is off the table.
I hope this information helps you understand a little better about what is going on, but I doubt it. I have very strong feelings that you're an idiot.
Zeig!
Spot on montom!
@mouton - Just like Mitt Romney, you are an idiot. We don't have the money to educate our children, fix our crumbling infrastructure or reduce poverty in this country. But we will find the money to start another war in the middle-East. Maybe Wall Street will pay for that war, including recruits from Wall street who will have to serve.
Actually he wants to get guidance on what to do.
You know who else is trading with Iran? The Koch brothers, the owners of the Tea Party. Funny how the MSM doesn't report on that little story any more.
A wise leader would beat a strong leader any day. Hitler was a strong leader. Lincoln a thoughtful wise one. They don't make them like that anymore.
President Obama's consultation offends the ZioNazi High Command and their feeble minded brain washed subjects in the US. Europe, Russia, China, and all peace loving people with some commonsense are not amused.
Do not confuse a desire for peace and prosperity as weakness, but take it as an abhorrence for the specter of war - and its endless maw and appetite for death and suffering.
Obama is no leader he is a follower...we need a leader!
obama is a incompetent buffoon. Another day, another lie, before we vote him out of office how many more Americans will die.
It sure seems like obama's motto is, I lie...I lie... so all no-Muslims can die.
Planning another war obama?
Siding with Russia and China?
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this president? or what's right about him?
a spoiled brat in mans shoes trying to play grown-up.
Did you do anything in the last three years obama?
except vacation and play with your putter?
........"The Worst President Ever".......
So how would you rate G W Bush then?
replace 'obama' with 'gw bush' and then all of that would make sense.
SJM
You Lie!! Obama hasn't started a war and so can't start another. You need to apologize immediately for your slander.
You Lie again!! Obama has done plenty including the prevention of another great depression. Even conservative economists say this.
You need to get solidly behind the president for the amazing job he's done. He's your president and is keeping YOU safe. Your unamerican attitude gives comfort and support to those that would do America harm. Since you hate America so much you should just move to Iran.
The Worst President Ever, LOL. Look at that pathetic loser GWB we just got rid of.
A better question...what's wrong with you? You're either stupid, ignorant, or off your meds.
wow, gary are you off mark......Obama is even worst that Lincoln ever thought about being..
S.J.M....you got it right on the button, know I am switching from Dem to Rep. Dems have no use for usa as is....all they are looking for is making us worst than any 3th nation there is
@S.J.M - The buffoon is the idiot you are and all clowns on the right who had their circus the other day in that town of Michigan, one of them hopes that he will take Obama's job. The buffoon is flip-flop Romney who said that if elected president (which, thanks god, will not happen) he will declare war to Iran. Another war?... After all we have been through for the past 10+ years? Unbelievable! I'm supposing that all of Mitt Romney's wall street friends will join the Army and also pay for that war.
If Mitt Romney gets the right-wing nomination, this will be reminded to him all over his campaign and also brought to the attention of the American people.
At this point, I believe Obama's being extremely careful. Nobody knows what Iran could do now, or tomorrow, or the next day, or month, or year!
He wants to keep the peace, but keep in mind Iran's got a lot of distrust and hate towards us after what Bush did.
The Republicans will serve to fulfill Bush's last wish of complete conquest of the Islamic region - just like the Christians did during the Crusades. It may not be the same exact incident, but if you think about it, the ideals are similar in many aspects.
The problem I see with keeping our troops all at home is that we dug ourselves so deep under Bush that we've generated a lot of animosity in one area - and it doesn't help that we're blaming Obama for the problems of his predecessor. Not ONE PRESIDENT would have an easy job of recovering from such problems - and I guarantee you Congress is Obama's natural foil - remember they can make up a crime to impeach him on, and Obama can't really defend himself from an attack like that, due to how checks and balances work. And trust me, I doubt anyone on this bulletin, even myself, can do any better.
So we can pretty much see Obama is doing as much as he possibly can, he's trying not to trip that minewire, but at the same time, he's doing so bound in chains, so to speak. Congress is filled with men and women who most swear loyalty to the new King George (read: George W Bush) and his Confederate Aristocracy (which is another name for GOP).
If anything needs to go, it's the current knuckleheads in Congress, specifically the House of Reps. But whether anyone will have the intelligence to do so, that remains to be seen.
Wow...Obama sure has you all snowed!.....He is Destroying America and you all think he is great......scarry...........
For all the dumb ass fools out there who want to go to more wars, then you should attend some of the military funerals that former President Bush would not attend, to include many members of congress and the senate. The American people are tired of going to and seeing all these military funerals, burying young men and women in the prime of their lives. Look at all the young men and women wounded for life. It is easy for some of you Monday morning couch potatoes to say go to war, go to war, as a solution to every conflict in the world. Like the fools we had for leaders in the past, this is not the answer. I can't understand how any of you out their are willing to vote for any fool who advocates more war like these fools running for office. Now some of you want to elevate the stakes up to, and including, nuclear war? Maybe that would be better because then it would finally reach out and touch some of you here in America with nuclear fall out. I am an independent, and I have common sense enough to not vote for anyone that will cause the murder of more American soldiers, and our allies soldiers, just to further their political desire for more power, more fame, more fortune, and their party agenda, from the left wing, right wing, or the middle. President Ronald Reagan destroyed one of the most powerful Evil nations in the world with economic warfare. This is why the Russians and china will not support any sanction because they know this is the most powerful war fighting tool in the world. Some of you people out there need to get your heads out of your AZZZesss and start thinking before you show so much disapproval for everything this President is trying to do for this nation. He is not the worst, but just one of the Presidents in a long line of Presidents who have served this thankless country. Vote with common sense, not hate, and stop listening to the bull @!$%# rhetoric from the crazy, brain washing networks, and radio fools. Independents you out number these Republican, Democratic and Libertarian fools, so take control and help the President get this country out of these boots on the ground wars, and back on a better economic track. Stop the party of "NO", and their supporters from continuing the economic war they are raging against the America people. And remember one thing, if there is a god do you believe that god he/she, would tell all those fools running for office, or their ding bat wives, that god he/she, wanted all of them to be President???? I thank that common sense says that only one of the candidates, if he made that statement, could be trusted, and that is the fool who is trying to serve this thankless nation right now, and that is "Pres. Obama". It is time you independent voters out there take back this nations from all these fools by recall, impeachment, don't vote for them, and stop funding these idiots of all the obstructionist, extremist parties, and support what you do have right now in the white house. Ask not what this country has done for you, but, what have you done for this country?
"BUNCH OF DUMB ASS PILGRIMS""A WAR FIGHTER FOR 33 YEARS, OVER & OUT""HOOAY""
USA cannot afford another war
Not if we can raise more taxes. Then we have like 50 dollars.
Hell we can not offord the ones we have going now....how many more can you start Ohamo
too bad Obama won't 'vow' to create more jobs in the US, and shrink the devide between rich and poor...
How about we send registered Republicans and tea wingers to invade Iran?
All Bush did was punt the Iran problem as he did with most others. Lol... The truth is that Obama has done more to thwart the effort than the right will ever admit to.
If the West attacks, we have will have given the IRI what they seek..... Relevance and a "I told you so moment" to further rally against the West among Arabs and Persians. They want us to bomb them.
Here is another fact...Iran will go nuclear regardless of who is in the White House.
We are done with war.. Thanks.
Well at least till WW3.
A bitter and unstable madman having absolute control of a nation with a functional nuclear arsenal? This doesn't bother you?
John Doe,
You're talking about Obama?...the answer then is YES!
Yes John Doe, it bothers a lot of us. That is why we will vote him out in 2012.
Who are "we"? The right-wing-nut-jobs? You, idiots, couldn't beat him 3 years ago and today, you believe that you will be able to beat him next year? With any of the clowns who are running if the repugnants' primaries? Keep deluding!
Did you know that Israel cannot and will not EVER be succesfully invaded because they have a weapon callled the neutron bomb that can be used to fry enemy troops while doing NO damage to the countryside, blast wise OR radioactive contamination-wise. Nothing but a short burst of localized intense deadly neutron radiation
But they have no defense against a launched nuke and once the genie is out of the bottle he isn't going back in
I have one of those also..ask my girlfriend.
ooo most people don't know about that!! You must have read "The Sampson Chronicles" years ago.
The Republicans have a debate about Iran's nuclear program and now the President wants to try and do something to stop the program. This is pathetic!
