Sen. Russ Feingold Attacks Obama Afghanistan Escalation on 'This Week' with George Stephanopoulos

[littlteapot]

If he doesn't run for president in 2012, I'm writing him in.

[saadasim]

Comparing Johnson to Feingoldis is like comparing Bush to Clinton.

One is businessman, the other went to law school.

Both businessmen manipulated the government to get federal aid to keep their businesses afloat.

Clinton slowly was able to balance the budget.

Bush blew the budget for years to come, because "deficits didn't matter."

[john51880]

Vote for Ron Johnson!

[john51880]

Vote for Ron Johnson!

[GovernmentSham912]

Ron Paul 2012

[biguy617]

FIengold 2016

[Yostiemonster]

Yeah, with Grayson as VP!

[RicoRichmond]

Why not 2012?

[biguy617]

Fiengold would be running against a sitting democratic president.  That is why. Better If FIengold runs after Obama gets a second term. If he gets one.

[RicoRichmond]

So what? McCarthy ran against Lyndon Johnson in 1968. If Feingold supports Obama in 2012 he will be complicit in his crimes.

[biguy617]

It is not that simple. You have to see how it looks poltically for a democrat to challenge democartic president in a primary. How would the primary play out on the media? Our media would have a field day with it. If Fiengold faild to beat Obama, the republican opponet nominee for president could use it to his advantage.

[treid100182]

Feingold is right...plain and simple.

...Obama wants cheap poppy plants for the pharmaceutical corporations...

...thanks, Obama...you God-Damned LIAR.

[biguy617]

or maybe it is the oil pipeline from Moore's Farenheit 9/11

[biggerturtle]

@treid100182 Feigold wants the poppy so he can shoot up

[strongbadassman]

proves that not all Jews are Zionist, and not all of them are working against our interest as sellouts to lobbyist or corporate interests, but i may be wrong.

[armistices]

Well done Feingold.

[lalvarez1990]

It is good to know there are still some senators with common sense like Mr. Feingold, the withdrawal from Afghanistan must commence!

[dragonflychainsaw]

man muratshawn i could not agree more

[cannuckistan]

you guys still have 60,000 troops in Germany, for god's sake. Haven't you figured out that you've militarized your democracy to a degree that would have made the framers of the constitution apoplectic?

[honorbound365]

BS when I was stationed in Germany we were talking about pulling out and the regional president was sucking our dick to get us to stay, you want to know why? because Europeans are so tight with their money that although the Euro is worth more then the dollar it's almost worthless because it doesn't move in a tight fisted European hand where as a US Soldier won't think twice before dropping $400 on a night out, thus Americans are "Gut" for the German economy ...it's good old economics

[tenagliac]

I write to congress too. At least Feingold gets it.

[benny5789]

Feingold for President!

[letnamsiew]

911 criminals were given visas to come here ! Cheny with OIL buddies had a secret meeting before 911 happened !

[childers1800]

finally someone has a clue. i have yet to hear a politician say something about the pipeline that was built 4 months after 9/11 in afgan. or how flew bin ladens out the country on 9/11

[muratshawn]

I do not get the concept....considering 9/11 started all this and 16 hijackers were from saudi arabia, bin laden is from saudi arabia....

thats like after we got attacked on pearl harbor,we went an attacked Korea....

why are we in war with countries that never attacked us?

[carranzapz]

funny thing is u attacked korea after u finished with japan... you dont create peace with war

[cphdotdk]

So because 16 people were from Saudi Arabia, you are saying that it would be appropriate to go to war with Saudi Arabia?

You can't use the Pearl Harbor analogy cocksucker, since that was Japan as a country attacking the US, and not fuckin individual as with the case with the hijackers.

Stop being so fucking ignorant dickhead.

It's all fuckin bogus

[muratshawn]

cocksucker? me lol. . . sure. Listen you punk ass bitch. Why are we at war with those countries? can you tell me??? what did those countries we invaded do to us? please tell me. I can tell you what the Saudis did.

9/11 was created by Bin Laden,a Saudi Arabian Citizen 16 hijackers were from Saudi Arabian, alot of the money came from Saudi to finance them. Because of 9/11 we are at war,with all the countries that had NOTHING to do with the 9/11 attacks nor ever attacked us period!

[cphdotdk]

Yeah you cocksucker!

I never fuckin believed in attacking Iraq, Afghanistan etc. Not even back in 2001. Never fuckin never.

But it doesn't make sense either to attack Saudi Arabia because 16 people who attacked the US were from SA. I'm trying to say how fucked up that statement was. And using the analogy with Pearl Harbor is really fucked, since that was Japan attacking the US. It wasn't "Saudi Arabia" attacking the US back in 2001, but 16 individuals. Get things in perspective moron!

[muratshawn]

now go ahead and suck some arabic dick,so u might get a meta or cheaper gas, you cock sucking mother fucking son of a bitch....

you're a pathetic a chicken hawk.

You're lucky you're behind the pc, otherwise I'd kick your ass anytime of the week and twice on sunday!

Now SUCK IT

[cphdotdk]

@ muratshawn

Hey!Listen - don't fucking threat me -or I'll crack your skull ok? I don't take no piss from no one.

My language was rude, I take that on me. I give you an apology for that.

What made me react was the typical "american" lack of perspective. I totally agree with your point, that the countries the US are attacking, aren't the ones who attacked the US. But using that logic attacking Saudi wouldn't make sense either. They didn't attack the US. Some folks did.

Merry x-mas

[muratshawn]

okay, fair enough I am sorry for my language as well, i got kicked for you saying some foul language......and u got kicked for me saying typical american.

The thing that bothers me though,i am not saying go ahead and attack saudis,but I do not think they shouldn't be left alone completely u know

many groups in many countries who are evil, I mean,check this out,in some countries in Africa now,they wanna execute folks who r gay or have hiv. The whole world should step in there and say something

[cphdotdk]

Sorry muratshawn. I know I was being a jerk and my language was silly. Forgive me for that. I understand your point - there are some really odd places around the world.

But I believe it's important to remember that these places are often 3rd world countries, poverty and have strong traditions. So a more proper way would be to help develop these counties, free them from hunger and poverty, offer eduction etc. That would solve a lot. It worked in our world. We need to stop killing each other.

[DojoNDude]

We're living on borrowed money. No vacation in Afghanistan until the bills are payed. honey!

[tylertyler82]

Obama is doing it to prove to Glenn Beck that he hates Muslims.

[InlandGreen]

pipelines.....

[treid100182]

Feingold is absolutely right...

...Obama is a fluke, and a war monger...

...isn't it funny they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize...hahaha...for killing people.

[robertinrinrin]

Russ makes some good points, and there are people profiting from this war. But American companies will always try to find a way to profit off the armies back (mostly poor people enlisted).

We need to put the lobbiest in jail.

[tomdorosz]

War profiteering at its best. Too many people that are close to the government are making billions while the economy goes down the drain. Why should they want to leave the middle east when they are privatizing the military for their profit? It's like saying we will invade this country and they will like it after few years.

[Improbable0possible]

Not just close to the government, plenty of people in the senate and congress make profits from haliburton and kkb, it's a web of lies deceit and profiteering. War is a filthy system, more so when money is involved and the oil pipelines and opium provide a nice sound investment.

[AmericanCritiquer]

I've got some theories floating around in my head because I just watched "Lord of War". I wonder who is really making all the money off of the weaponry.

[PredragTV]

first, 5/5!!! :D
