[jaylawmusic]

you fucking nigger....get out of afghanistan

[RayWilliamJohnstud]

end all these stupid wars, vote Ron Paul 2012

[lSaif]

"Stuck at Al-Qaeda" shit the 100,000+ dead civilians must just be some ghosts or some imaginary people.

[TJBONEZ123]

@abdibaasit So who was shooting at me then?

[Jurassicparkrules96]

still there

[dgfeller21]

how can we be doing well in afghanistan when we have been there for 10 years and still have 4 more years to go? (supposedly). 2010 was our bloodest year and yet obama thinks that he's doing a great job.

[pablonikolaz]

killing is victory?? well said president of the land of the free, you make me want to puke, not even your little secret society speeches make sense now, you are just humiliating yourself

[pablonikolaz]

yeah now you are "Retiring" after how many years of KILLING INOCENT PEOPLE, now you withdraw after you got everything you wanted, STOP LYING, YOU ARE ONLY FOOLING YOURSELF MR PRESIDENT. go on with your little tale about osama and US being a victim, you know what, US IS A VICITM but of corrupt lying politicians such as you!!

[shinkie]

Absolutely amazing. Yes we can... kick the shit out of truth and reality and smile while doing it. He must think Americans are totally stupid.

[TannerKong]

"The target was no longer men on the battlefield"... after referring to pearl harbor. Oh wait Obama! After Pearl Harbor we dropped nuclear weapons on the most heavily populated areas in Japan... MEN... WOMEN... AND INFANTS 1 DAY OLD +!!!!... I hate my country

[PrivateJoker17]

@abdibaasit Writing in caps lock makes you sound like even more of a retard.

[Sasukekillsitachi]

you cant believe anything that this guy Obama says, he say one thing and does another thing. There is no way that FAGMERICA will end their wars.

The only solution is Russia/China to nuke this whore country.

[1991alove]

full of shit

[PilipinoCorruption]

President Obama is one of messenger(s) spoken of in Isa 18:2 and 18:7 for as YHWH decreed the punishments for Israel's unfaithfulness he also decreed the way out of it.

[k92aida]

so much bullshit.....osama bin laden used to work the CIA as tim osman, 9/11 was an inside job used to induce fear on all americans in order to justify going to war....obama is making it worse

[kiptoy123]

@k92aida

Moron.

[k92aida]

@kiptoy123 yeaa u are

[kiptoy123]

The Presidential campaign begins in earnest next summer. The pressure to continue the withdrawal, faced with a 120 billion per anum war, will be enormous. The U.S. Military is already planning to reconfigure the Marine Corps to increase its presence in the Pacific theater to counter growing Chinese naval power which is making American allies in the region increasingly anxious.

[ThePostal67]

@kiptoy123

I just stole the keys to the nukes, I will be setting them off next week.......Happy August, the launch is set for 8:15 A.M. on August 6, 1945, when Truman killed 140,000 men, women and children, the first use of WMD!

[kiptoy123]

@ThePostal67

How many Japanese would have died in a massive allied ground invasion on Japan' main island ensued? How many American and allied soldiers would have been slaughtered in a massive ground invasion on Japan's main island? How many Chinese and Phiipino civilians were slaughtered by the Japanese Fascist Imperial Army during its ruthless, racist occupation of the Chinese Province of Nanking and the Philipine Islands?

[ORANGEjoe1511]

Pretending to end wars is cool. Thank you Mr.President, I am once again filled with pretend hope.

[charmedat15]

negative comments are from those who will never be free at least in America we have the chance to be, so hate us for being free and you can hate us for attacking those who threaten our freedom, real Americans know that in the United States we make mistakes but we also have the chance to correct those mistakes. Everything takes time espcially in America where we have the freedom to have different views. I Stand by my President who acknowledges what we want unlike many other countrys.

[nowthatsinteresting1]

@charmedat15 Well I'm free and so is everyone else in Europe and large parts of the rest of the world. I hate Americans who think that the only reason anyone could hate you is because of jealousy. This requires real ignorance of what your leaders are doing in your name and a deluded idea of how good life is in your country. Believe me, no-one in Europe wants their country to be like yours. The US is despised because of its foreign policy and its slavish following of the free market cult.

[kiptoy123]

You are free and everyone else in Europe because of the presence of American troops for the last 50 years. How old are you? You evidently are to young to recall the Berlin Airlift.  Go to the library.

[PeterTattersall46]

@kiptoy123 And you have been watching too many Disney films, the Americans sole source of history.

[kiptoy123]

I also suggest you poll your eastern european brothers in Poland and Hungary and the Czech Republic before you start spouting off your "Bader-Mienhoff" sophmoric horse manure diatribes.

[Drakedog777]

Something will never get into you americunts thick skull, Jihad isn't based on a leader or a certain person.

Jihad is our religion, If you want to to win against Jihad, stop the Mujahideen's attacks, you will have to destroy Islam, and you know you can't do that :)

[Tigereyes25081981]

America built Taliban and terrorists, they supported them they got what they came for and now they are killing Taliban,. Fuck Taliban and those who America.

[rw5791]

@Tigereyes25081981 I hate bush for letting the illegals into america but in iraq he was a winner.Obama is a loser.

[kiptoy123]

@Tigereyes25081981

The Taliban was nurtured by the Pakistani ISI in order to make Afghanistan into a Pakistani colony and therefore created a strategic advantage over its traditional enemy, India.

[pgyogurt]

Folks, we can argue this war strategy until we're blue in the face. Meanwhile, China is building the longest high speed rail and water bridge in the world. Japan is signing contracts with our clean energy technology firms. England is building the largest off-shore wind farm. Brazil is exporting ethanol products overseas. Germany is innovating in advanced automotive engineering...And what are we doing but arguing about war?

[PeterTattersall46]

@pgyogurt Yes, keep it up you shmucks

[rw5791]

@PsychoBurgundy007 it's kind of a shame.There is nothing more satisfying than murdering a bunch of punk ass al qaeda sand niggers but I guess there will be more opportunities in the future because these scumbags ain't goin' away.You gotta give 'em that,they are resilient.

[polkandrews]

good job and thank you i missed this speech.

[sortie39]

they just wanna switch more focus on china.....

believe it or not.

U.S., NATO Forces Battle Attackers in Afghanistan Hotel Raid

Published June 28, 2011 | FoxNews.com

Suicide attackers stormed a popular Western-style hotel in Afghanistan on Tuesday, setting off explosions and exchanging gunfire with Afghan authorities for hours until NATO helicopters took out three of the remaining gunmen.

Killed 7 and wounded 8, according to Afghan officials. The six suicide bombers and four gunmen involved in the raid have been killed.

Good time to remove troops? IDIOT!

[toughterrier]

Taking both sides & the middle ObombA uses plausible denialbility - the BIG LIE.. Guess it is what the meaning IS IS? Clinton all the way. He commits war on Libya for no reason. There isn't an honest bone in his body. But the good news is the BUSH DOCTRINE IS ALIVE AND WELL - at Gitmo, Iraq, Afganistan and the middle east. What is being screwed up is the ObombA "finger in the wind" strategies.

[Merplov]

Vote for Obama 2012, he should get 4 more years in 2012.

[hookalakah]

"Our president likes to be on both sides at once.

...In Afghanistan, he wants to go but he wants to stay. He’s surging and withdrawing simultaneously. He’s leaving fewer troops than are needed for a counterinsurgency strategy and more troops than are needed for a counterterrorism strategy — and he seems to want both strategies at the same time. Our work is done but we have to still be there. Our work isn’t done but we can go." --Maureen Dowd, New York Times, June 26, 2011

[Jacoby515]

gen. petreaus wants to finish the campaign he launched and keep the success he and the u.s. military has had since he took command in afghanistan. he told obama the recommendations. but obama refuses because he wants to play politics because hes looking at his shitty polls

[soldierboy9able]

from the establishment of the us army, the us have been in wars all around the world vietnam, korea, cold war, somilia, ww2, ww1, afgan, iraq and lots more. america is a country of war. you cant disagree. america have troops deployed to over 150 countries across da globe. libya is going ta be the nxt iraq. jus wait and see. and afganistan is going to turn ta shit if america withdraw 33000 troops by nxt year. the american ppl want our troops home safe. bu we also want to defeat the cunts al qaeda

[iluvmycountry1000]

i dont really argue via websites, but there is so much hate going on toward our govt. right now, you do realize that the govt. cant just wish america in to greatness in one day, they are making the right choices currently that will slowly but surely bring america back to its financial standpoint, and all these PEOPLE you speak of were the same people lining the gates and cheering us off to war, now they cant even remember why, so they play the blame game on the govt.

[tabaripalmer]

My eyes are open, I can see it blow in the wind, with my eyes closed and not physical, I feel it beating across my skin, means the realist thing is the unseen, you want 2 “CLICK MY NAME” 2 know what I mean, it is no secret for I HAVE FOUND IT!

[r2zibit]

I say bullshit on the withdraw we will be in there for another 4-5 years :L God bless the men and women out there and who have returned.. I wish men and women who are out there atm a safe return home :)

[GoodVibezin]

Listen mother fucker, if you want to keep the "sacred trust" with those who sacrifice their lives for this great nation then maybe you shouldn't lie to them.

[HoneySiegalSurvivor]

@GoodVibezin All Obama does is lie. I have the inside story . He & his wife were hired to dissolve the USA. @Congress YOU have the fiduciary duty to convene a grand jury and INDICT these sheisters. See my Website. Crooked attorneys including Obamas & DHS Janet with the State of Arizona created the estates if Honey R Siegal deceased to conspire to defraud the public. We The People Against Corruption in the Campaign to Remove & Indict Obama et al day 359 June 24/2011. Honey Robin Siegal (NOT DEAD)

[lostisthebest815]

Well perhaps our objective in Afghanistan is done. al-Qaeda has dissolved in this country, however gotten stronger in many others. There really is no right choice here - we're facing an enemy so blinded, so brainwashed, so stupid, that conventional tactics don't apply. We can only hope that, like Communist Vietnam, Communist Russia, etc., that al-Qaeda will be no more by it's own destruction.

[GoodVibezin]

Listen mother fucker, you shouldn't have announced the surge at West Point, you should have announced it on Capitol Hill!

Dumb ass.

[LakeRafiD]

Investing in our people and living within our means. I'm all for it!

[defenmilgov]

Staged withdrawal, new SACB activities, tactical nukes.

[JMO2011JMO]

Thank you Mr President. Very articulate speech. You are the best ! What an intelligent leader. Thank you . Youare the right man for this moment in history. The right job.

Thank you, Thank you Thank you

[JMO2011JMO]

Thank you Mr President. Very articulate speech. You are the best ! What an intelligent leader. Thank you . Youare the right man for this moment in history. The right job.

Thank you, Thank you Thank

[iluvmycountry1000]

well i am a soldier currently deployed to iraq and i have some knowledge on what is going on in our world today, and I need to inform all you un-patriotic asses that you guys do not even understand how nice and easy we have it. if you hate america then get out, go to another country and proceed to complain about their ways. all this talk about how bad our govt. is and how stupid we are annoys me so much i want to line all you people up and slap you, if only you knew actually how great america is

[Agent1W]

@iluvmycountry1000 Our gov't does suck, because that's not what makes America great. We, the PEOPLE, make this nation great. So yes, as the People, we [should] reserve the right to criticize, judge, and hold our gov't accountable because we are greater and they are lesser. Security, order, and key public interests is what gov't is really for.

(Not picking on you, but this is my general statement)

[illunga1]

We are so dead

[littleHYDE1981]

JUST SO WE ARE CLEAR THE US MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN FIGHT FOR THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS NOT THEIR OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[msmithstud]

Victims of the economy could care a less about Bin Laden. This is his way of trying to win over voters in 2012

[siggnor2006]

That's what happens when school care only about money. Education is commodity now because the rich want to benefit or suck the life out of everyone. I tell you- this country is an epic fail when the people put the power in the hand of the rich who run it through corporations. It's nonsense like this and everything else that makes me lose faith in humanity and this country.

I'm tired of other nations finding ridicule and accusations that every American is as stupid as the next.  Just like this

[christophius1]

Personally, I think President Obama has done a pretty good job so far. Is our country perfect? No, of course not. But then, what country or civilization has ever been? All I know is that I don't want for clean water to drink or with which to wash, food to eat, shelter, personal safety, a good education, good health care, and a good job. These are the things we are trying to provide in the countries in which we are involved. When people have them, they are far less likely to take up arms. Period.

[bluecollarlit]

I support America, and the president.

[Ganseblumchen12]

Obama isn't credible. He broke every single promise that he made in 2008. Now we're in a depression and this Libya war isn't helping. It's been more than 3 months and Obama still doesn't want to consult the congress. Of course he's sending more and more troops to middle east for this new war. Nightmare.

[carad78]

@Ganseblumchen12 i am a Canadain and I have been following your president. Explain what promises he has broken, the depression was left behind from the previous president that was in for 8yrs. The health care plan you seem to not want, its better to refuse than to help a certain class of people. You want new comers to the country, but only if it is under your ie the people's conditions. All in all you are talking out of 2 sides of your mouth, you your cake and eat it to per se.

[travel1949]

verry happy that OUR troops are comming home it is so sad that WE will NOT be victorious, so many have lost their lives for NOTHING...

we will probably go back in a few years to clean up again....

[rickames]

MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WITH NEGEATIVE COMMENTS ARE EXACTLY LIKE HEIR POST, NEGATIVE!. BUSH WAS THE MOST IGNORANT & DUMBEST PRES. IN THE WHITE HOUSE! AND REPUBLICANS STILL WANT SOME OF BUSH TATICS, & SOME CITIZENS LIKE YOU! OBAMA IS TRYING TO END WARS, MAKE ECONCOMY BETTER, HEATH CARE; BUT, SEEMS YOU RATHER SEE THE COUNTRY GO DOWN TO NOTHING LIKE BUSH'S TERMS. LEAVE THE COUNTRY IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH IT, OR RUN FOR OFFICE! BIN LANDEN GONE, IN 3 YEARS & BUSH COULDN'T DO IT IN 8!

[azzh00le]

@rickames lol! yeah bin laden gone because of tactics your messiah was opposed to in the first place. and his approval ratings are still tanking along with the economy. barry hussein is a failure

[tominrochester]

@azzh00le "barry hussein"... the tactic of using Obama's middle name when referring to him, so that the listener/reader get an idea of Saddam Hussein in their mind, and therefore is more likely to make negative association with his name is a sad, failed tactic. Conservative radio hosts and the like tried it during the election and it went over like a Led Zeppelin. The fact of the matter is that Obama was president went Bin Laden was caught and ok'd the operation.

[azzh00le]

@tominrochester lol! no the tactic for me is that you pussy ass libtards get worked up when his ACTUAL middle name is used and its fucking hilarious. The way his numbers are tanking using it for any other purpose is not needed.

And yes he was President when Bin Laden was killed and I give him credit for making the right call

[tominrochester]

@azzh00le I think if we are talking about names, your screen name just about says it all. No one's going to take you seriously when the basis of your argument is to insult. And if the real point of your posts is to get people worked up, then its a sad reflection on you and says very little about anyone else. I don't think the problem in this country is the policies of either dems or republicans- i think the problem is partisanship and lack of civility, both of which you demonstrate.

[azzh00le]

@tominrochester The problems in this country is BOTH republicrats and democans spending us into oblivion. LOL! what the fuck do you care what I say or what my screen name is. I'm not a public figure, just a guy on the computer on a slow work day. I'm honored that I now have rent space in your head though.

[SlyRoach]

@rickames Is that all you've seen in the news? Obama got Osama? Because nearly everything you just mentioned that Obama has tried to fix or has done, he's actually done worse or failed. WW2 was 6 year war. The reason this war will never end is due to a group/society of people who DON'T want change. Thus, the longer we stay and try to change them, the more resentment they have to us, and so they fight. Obama only said everything he said before he took office in this vid. Yet look where we are. :(

[rickames]

@SlyRoach I have looked where we are opposed to where we were. Now, we are only allowed so many characters in a post. I don't argue, i have an open mind. I will leave the rest for you to debate my post as you will. I'm supporing our President, & un-like other disingenous Americans who stood in front of the American Flag, or has a talk, or radio shows, who put every thing the President does under a microscope, he always comes out on top, & ratings mean nothing, like negative comments.

[SlyRoach]

@rickames It's really hard not to laugh at this statement. "& ratings mean nothing, like negative comments". In particular, b/c it makes you look like a complete idiot AND, b/c ratings are a quick view of what AMERICANS think. lol u say they mean nothing. And you're right not to argue here, b/c there's nothing to argue. Simple fact is nothing has changed since Obama took office and he is still preaching all the stuff he said he'd do when he was running for prez.

[rickames]

@SlyRoach Go to a page where you can find someone to chat with, maybe they would like to entertain your thoughts. Apparently politics isn't your cup of tea, or you're ignorant like you called me, & think he's done nothing since his Presidency. Smile, look for comments what have you, i'm not lonely when it's time to think like you are.

[SlyRoach]

@rickames I love how you can't rightfully defend what you think is right. Instead of being reasonable and providing factual differences you have to try and attack me for stating facts that prove you wrong. Politics not my cup of tea huh? At least I'm still on topic. And I'm not lonely either, I have you to continue to make a fool of :D

[CERBERUS300ify]

he talks of america being a family, and having to act like that to become something better. i imagine him as the father in this model, with the ability to overrule the rest of the families words or voice at the slightest inclination. *cough LIBYA couGH*

[hitohane]

I fell asleep about a minute into this and then I was rudely awakened by the comment of "a short but upbeat speech" by that wolffy guy whom I could easily imagine down on all fours licking the shoes of Obama just for an interview. Wow, need to turn the fan on and clear out all the smoke.

[thezrt600]

@pasterg22. Did you ever go to afghanistan and leave your family and friends and go fight in afghanistan? Did you ever experience combat? Did you ever see a fellow solider die?...

[vintagedanf]

"in all that we do, we must remember that what sets America apart is not solely our power, it is the principles on which our union was founded. We are a nation that brings our enemies to justice while adhering to the rules of law...."

Someone didn't tell him about the waterboarding we did...um...2 years ago?

@MrDanielweintraub We The People Against Corruption in the Campaign to Remove & Indict Obama et al. Day 358 June 23/2011. Where is the proof that Osama planned & executed 911? The fact is that the US has been in Afghanistan since the 70's & all Obama is doing here is taking out troops that HE put in.Obama is reading his teleprompter with gusto as the crooked attorney he is who along with attorney wife Michelle & DHS Janet are linked to huge bank fraud. See my Website. Honey R Siegal (NOT dead)

[carad78]

@HoneySiegalSurvivor Well you must have pres. Bush on your list of people to indict as well. Because he sent your sons and daughters to fight a war that failed, your financial situation is at a depression level because of him, it was that same pres. that said the Osama was the brains behind 911. so again I'll say, he must be on your list as well. ohhh wait you dumb assess can tell it the sky is blue.
