Tariq Ali on Socialism and Obama in the Middle east-2/2

[aan3]

Props to Ali! For putting a human face on Pakistan and reminding the world of Pakistanis' basic needs to live.

[AUTHORITARIAN786]

its very hypocritical that the country which promotes "peace" and "democracy" across the globe actually injects more capital into the military more than any other executives in the world.

Once again the lies of Obama come to light. During the campaign to be President he said regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan "I will end it", yet today the headlines state that he is going to expand the war from Afghanistan into Pakistan. The commentator in the video is wrong in stating that Obama said he was going to expand the war. Obama stated that he was going to end the war in Iraq and shift power to Afghanistan, he did not mention Pakistan.

You know what's odd?

Obama has a bigger military budget than Bush.

America currently has the largest military budget since WWII.

Obama is decent in that he might give America a decent health-care system, Democrats are usually better than Republicans for domestic policies.

But sadly, for foreign policies, they are usually both the same, for the most part.

Obama now is like Johnson in '64-'65. Except he's waging the G-Bush Legacy War during a deepening world depression his own advisers, like Bernanke, lie about to anyone who will listen. Like Kerry before him, Obama is a decidedly FORMER antiwar protester. The bourgeois parties have no solutions. Just wars and schemes for private looting.

Tariq Ali is a trotskyite, but other than that, he's brilliant!

[nowellian]

Obama is a right winger, but then that is all that can be "elected" in the US.

Kucinich was much better than Obama and he was ignored and belittled by the corporate media.

Our elections are a joke. The US is a right wing dictatorship!

Americans are asleep and many are afraid to even watch anything that is not corporate approved. Just look at this excellent, informative video, only 197 views.

Unfortunately Americans are getting what they deserve.

Obama is the Greatest!

Obama the Great! 2012!!

[Meloman0001]

Easy there. I think you had to much of the Obama kool-aid. jk.

[jimhack3]

If Its Kool-Aid that's getting this country back on track, creating jobs, and holding individual responsible for their actions, then I'll have much - much more!

Thank you Repubs, for screwing up the entire world, so now we can see how intelligent and creative our President is.

Time will show this. It's interesting that the Repubs "Just say No" to anyone that's not a Repub, or doesn't play politics with them. I think that President Obama is doing a great job so far!!

[borntobelegend]

Obama not socialist

[micahgee]

Obama = Imperialist

Obama is not that much different than Bush in terms of Foreign Policy.

[Meloman0001]

I second that. But I think we might be able to pressure Obama—Bush would simply ignore everyone.

[CaptainBluebear08]

In terms of Foreign Policy, Obama's a follower of Zbigniew "Z-Big" Brzezinski, the inventor of the Taliban(-tactic) when he was an advisor to Carter...

It's even on YT.

[Azzaiel]
