Romney, Huntsman Spar Over Afghanistan Policy

[DJRAKKK]

Huntsman is a regular ass Republican candidate..and the KKK is not interested in him thats why hes not getting the nomination. Because he cares about the country and the shit thats going on.

[abehammy]

Anyone else think that Jon Huntsman looks like John Cryer?

[HaroldRetalt208]

ey ich hab was unanständiges entdeckt

[LIBERTYALONE]

And Romney? REALLY? The big government liberal who authored Obama-care? This guy is going to be the GOP nominee? I think not.

[GovernMentalFreedom]

Two Obama war monger worshiper game players

[LikableDesi]

They call it "The graveyard of Empires" for a reason!

[rjhayes2]

Wish the video had the rest of Huntsman's great points... Jon Huntsman is the best candidate to beat Obama and for America. Level headed, common sense conservative.

In the Hunt!

[MrTouchShriek]

Is it really "sparring" when Romney had his ass handed to him?

[Tiger66261]

I respect huntsman, he's a good guy and one of the few who can stand up there with Obama and Ron paul.

@kasimhussain21

Real civvies, who weren't just PLAF helpers.

Ever heard of VC officer nicknamed 'Apache'? Check her story, and what she did to her US and ARVN prisoners. I dunno about you, but after that I'd totally be willing to kill a few people in order to find such a psycho amongst suspects, and that's what the US SF did.

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

... Weather. Their true target was Tokyo, but Enola Gay was forced to unload its bombs to a unknowns place. Now I wouldn't call Tokyo a much more valorous target, but that's war. The US killed tens of thousands of people, but in the same time they stopped the war. Peace through superior firepower, 'eh?

The last time I heard US troops raping and killing women and children was in 'Nam, and there are many juicy war stories that totally justify their act toward 'civies' and...

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

Yo, Taleban has been smoked outta Afghanistan right now. Most likely they'll come back, but the reason is totally different than US getting their asses handed to 'em. In fact, it's the same reason as in 'Nam. The homefront. People in mainland USA want the troops out, without realizing that Taleban still exists. Not so much in Afghanistan, but in its neighbouring countries.

Ha, draw the nuke-card, do you ;)?

Well both of 'em, Hiro and Naga, were accidents, 'caused by bad...

[mustanggundam]

Hey Romney, why don't you enlist tough guy? Fucking chicken hawks.

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

... Living growing strawberries now instead of dope, so that they can get along and help the world get rid of its drug problem. I wouldn't call that a "bad boy" act.

Yeah, the remaining US troops are getting killed for a couple of reasons nowadays.

1) Cowardly enemies

2) Rules of engagement

3) IED's

If the Taleban/Iraqi resistance took a stand like in 2004 Fallujah, they'd get utterly skullfucked in no time.

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

The Mujahedin got them Stigers, RPG's, Javelins etc from the American's (well, not the Javelins) in the 1980's during the sovier invasion. US military leaders must be kicking themselves now for allowing all those weapons to be sent there.

Oh, and I ain't buying the US as a bad guy in the opium business. Why? I was a ISAF peacekeeper for five years in Afghanistan, where I saw the US help the local farmers, by providing them with strawberry seeds. No kidding, they're making their

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

Don't we just love these debates ;)

The moment the US leave Afghanistan the Taleban will regain control, that is absolutely true. That's why it's crucial that they can train the ANA soldiers well enough so they can at least stand a chance against Islamists.

IED attacks, fucking cowardly if you ask me, but damn effective.

The Iraqi resistance is to be trusted just about as much as the Taleban PR department. I take a good, long breather before I take a look at their "reports"

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

If that had been a Javelin, the both pilots woulda been shot from the skies. I say they did the right call, but it didn't quite pay off as it shoulda.

As for what the Americans are doing there, they're training the ANA troops so they can take care of their own country, only God knows for how long. That's all.

I might even send you a few clips about US SF destroying some dope plantations, if you're interested.

Oh, and by the way. We ain't got FOX new here in Finland.

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

Oh, right. I forgot to add that it was in 1991. Maybe you oughta try reading, will make you wayyy more creditable.

Anyways, about the RoE. You heard of Marjah offensive? Take a look at the new orders the Marines were issued before commencing their assault, you might get surprised. And the Apache killings. Yup, those things happen. Too bad, maybe those Reuters guys shoulda thought about toting their cameras elsewhere, as it was a war zone. What if that was a Javelin?

[daegwonchae]

Huntsman is the best candidate, but it's unclear that he can win so we're settling for Romney.

Not happy about it, but it is what it is. Unless New Hampshire steps up

[babbfamilyidaho]

Who in America wanted to go nation building in Afghanistan after 9/11, how have our politicians decided this was the goal?

[p7byrd]

Hunstman totally owned Flip-Flop Romney.

[jrelkin12]

Huntsman actually knows what the hell he's talking about. A tested life-long conservative who took Utah to #1 in job creation. An experienced diplomat who's lived overseas 4 times. And that's just the beginning...

Huntsman 2012!

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

In 1991 the US defeated the 4th largest military power, Iraq, because they were fighting a real war. Nowadays in Afghanistan the Rules on Engagement are just ridiculous, and add that to the cowardly islamists hiding behind civvies instead of taking a stand. It's quite hard to fight an enemy that you can't see, or if you see, can't shoot unless you're shot at. Starts to sound too much like UN-bullshit to me.

Your move.

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

Has anyone ever seen any proof about Hitler being killed? No? Then STFU.

Wow, I never realized that BBC had so good relations with the A-Q that they can inform you when they're outta business. It doesn't really proof shit if BBC says "Al-Qaeda is out".

After this 10 years the Taleban government has been crushed, the dope plantations have been crushed, the way people are treated is getting better. I'd dare to call that progress.

I'll answer about the US on a another post.

[neon1ce1]

Just do me favor kill all english people cock suking fagots

[darradjir]

Romney is an Idiot, Gingrich is an Asshole.

[willypdyer]

OBAMA 2012

[willieofroanoke]

The republican party that once existed, no longer exists. You guys know that, right?

All that's left is ultra right wing crazies, the tea party ding dong squad, bible thumping two-faced phony "family value" fakers mixed in with the usual assortment of idiots and losers. Nothing much to pick from. So I'm voting for Obama. He may not be the best president we ever had, but he beats the crap out of gang of 8 repugs offered that only care about big business and rich

[anubistiger]

Everyone if not a registered Republican, register now and vote for Paul or Huntsman! But most importantly Huntsman! He's rated by the New York Times as the most likely to defeat Obama! If only the Republicans can look passed the primary and not try to settle on those fire-breathing bible-thumping fannie mae-contradicting Conservatives i.e. Gingrich

[willieofroanoke]

The truth is I could go to the House of Representatives, ask all the republicans to line up against a wall in random order, then blindfold myself and pick every eighth person and I guarantee that group would far out shine the current crop of bozos.

Am I disappointed with Obama? Yeah, but I think more about the welfare and future of the country than to vote for any of the 8 republican pigs that each would fuck-up more than Bush. I never thought I say anyone could be worse than Bush. Yeah eight.

[willieofroanoke]

I want alternatives to Obama, just to have a choice or I have no choice and will votge for him again. The FACT is none of the 8 republicans are worthy to wipe Obama's ass. This is the absolute worst group of wannabe losers the republican party has even assembled. We're suppose to pick from a bimbo, a possible rapist, a world class flip flopper, an old fart with extremist views, or some white haired fat boy that's so full of himself you want to puke every time he opens his month. The rest. Yuck.

[0salot]

You cannot be a politician and be honest.... Because they do not make the decisions

[TheExovaldes]

@kasimhussain21

Al-Qaeda=CIA? Taleban won the war? Bin Laden hoax? Riiiiiiiiiiiight....

[TheUSMetalhead]

"cut and run." That is Bush Jr. talk, the GOP has found their man. Newt is just an idiot and the party is just giving him his time at the top, he would never be pushed into the generals because he would stand no chance against Obama. Just a note, I find it tragic that the dems are pushing Obama for a second term. Not only because he is a fraud, but because just about any candidate they pushed into the generals would win over any candidate the GOP would have to offer.

BERNIE SANDERS 2012! I wish.

[truthspeaks84]

Romney looks scared... watch his body language when Huntsman speaks.

[apocolypse1022]

These people are whores - pure and simple - they wont do anything differently, Presidents take orders from the elite banking families - notice how the agenda from Bush to Barry is the same exact blueprint - figure it out zombies. War is corporate greed, control of resources only, hopefully the TV watching masses of moron Americans will figure this out in this decade.

[cpoplover21]

Huntsman is the only one making sense. GOP, please be smart for once and pick someone who actually knows what he's saying.

[willieofroanoke]

@cpoplover21 GOP ===> Gray, old pedophiles. Now seriously, is there any of the 8 you'd feel safe leaving your young kids with overnight? Of course not. Perry would probably give the kids a beer and let them drive. Form a mental image withyour kids on the lap of Newt, Romney, Paul. Imagine the "fun" Cain would have with your daughter playing doctor. Bochmann would probably try to stuff broccoli down their throat then read them a bed time story from Steven King.

[SharkDude1]

Why does the MEDIA (AP) not cover the only Sane person to elect? Ron Paul. Watching these debates makes my head want to exploade (Both Dem and Rep) But when I see Ron Paul talk, I am amazed that one person in washington makes So Much Sence, and not crazy like all these other losers. War War War (Both dems and Reps) and then steps in Ron Paul, with the most sensible remarks to make America great again. And then the Other Idiots go back to bickering.  Ron Paul is Our only hope.

[MrDraiden]

@SharkDude1 you havn't heard the latest news then. Ron Paul is a demented senior citizen and has been under the impression that he can win the GOP nomination. The Senior Center he was at just realized that the pillows he put under the covers aren't him and he is being placed back into this facility. There goes your only hope.

[s2kburbs]

go go gop warmongers



[JerezJulio]

Who would thought that after all this year the Ku Klux Klan will make Grand Master Wizard debates in national television.

Now the Afghanis people are the new Negro, an Newt is going to send Mercenary to Play Target Practice with them. is that what these Wakcjobs foreign policy in about?



[walk4trot2canter3]

They're all saying the same thing in the end, but don't realize it. What we do get to see is their personalities as they air their frustrations.

[Dioxholster]

if republicans want to have any chance of winning the white house they better be voting for huntsman and not these other loonies.

[Lobato1987]

Well said Mr. Huntsman

[undertow0510]

Gov. Romney is right. We can't just cut and run from Afghanistan with all those poppy fields yielding all that delicious heroin our govt. needs to facilitate the ever-expanding prison industrial complex. STFU Govenor!

[alicethetroll]

republicans are mean little bitches...

[TheCrappyaccount]

newt is absolutely grotesque

[Chimera1591]

Tell you what, if Huntsman wins this primary I might go Republican in 2012. If any other Republican wins, I'm voting for Obambi. I'll take 4 more years of him over these crazies that the Republicans have drummed out. Mitt Romney is the very definition of Satan! Not only does he look like Satan with that eerie grin of his, he has a snakes tongue! I wouldn't trust that guy around kids because he might steal their candy.

[Chimera1591]

Mitt Romney is a war-monger! He wants us to stay in Iran and Afghanistan AND fight a pointless war with Iran! How is Romney in the lead? Oh yeah, this is a Republican primary. Common sense is not used. -_-

P.S. Ron Paul is crazy, not moron.

[MrAjjordan1980]

Muslims are biting at the bit for the moron Ron Paul to get elected!  You wanna see ww3 let that moron take votes from any other candidate

[puranijeans2002]

The war machine of US will always want war to make money....no one over there whether Afghanis or Pakistanis like Americans.....

Mitt and Newt good job for media coverage... it may look cool on the podium, but over in the region, you will be kissing pakistani asses, because americans would lose this war in seconds if Pakistan decide to stop Americans using their sea port and Roads for US war supplies....

[marshaeisner]

I don't know why what they think matters. Neither one will get the nomination.

[hyperrreal]

Huntsman looks like Romney's dumb little kid brother. Romney 2012!!!!

[Stinkpoppa]

@hyperrreal Yes lets vote for this guy Romney .. have you checked his connections? I think NOT.

[hyperrreal]

@Stinkpoppa Connections? The more the better. At least they're Americans. China Huntsman only has connections with the commies in Shanghai wtf!. VOTE ROMNEY 2012!!!!

[Stinkpoppa]

@hyperrreal Are you serious .. how about >> Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations, and Trilateral Commission. Yes real patriots. 

[hyperrreal]

@Stinkpoppa Another nutty Ron Paultard with your crazy UFO and ghost conspiracy theories. Don't you think it's time to grow up? ROMNEY 2012!

[Stinkpoppa]

@hyperrreal Please don't shit where you eat .. I'll block you now so don't bother responding .. you're a "one dimensional" thinker ..

[hyperrreal]

@Stinkpoppa I'll shit where you eat. Why would I shit where I eat? That doesn't make any sense.

ROMNEY 2012!!!!

[Stinkpoppa]

@hyperrreal Goes to show your mentality .. Ron Paul 2012!!!

[hyperrreal]

@Stinkpoppa Go take a bath, hippie Paultard.

[Josephdaz1]

Anyone who votes for Romney is a fool .. check his connections.

[chronDiggity]

I'd like to ask Romney how much money he's made off the war whether directly or indirectly. I'd bet some reporters would end up finding something later.

Romney and Newt's ideas are dangerous as hell, and get people killed. LOTS of people.

[wtf0804]

Just leave and let China and Russia take care of them or India.

[BertGriffin88]

Now the Bush&Dick Republican TeaBagging Bonerheads want to fight the Talibums in Afghanistan. Now they want to fight the alQaiduhs in Pakistan. How many Trillions did we sink into the MiddleEast? How many Trillions got stolen by BigBanks, BigBusinesses, BigPentagon Contractors, BigLobbyists, & BigCongressmen? How many sons&daughters did we lose? The BigRich won't ever let the MiddleEast & Homeland Security, the Golden Geese Scams of all times, ever go away. Easy money, but just for the BigRich!

[Josephdaz1]

@BertGriffin88 And you're blaming this all on the Republicans .. get a clue.

[DaninJonesboro]

We can train a young US soldier in 8 weeks of basic an additional 6 weeks of Advanced individual training and he's ready to go and die for this country, this 10 years of training excuse is worn and tired. Who in the fuck is training the new Taliban and Haqqani network foot soldiers? This BS is a sick excuse to make contractors richer and nothing will have changed in that shithole that they call a country, more dead people in the name of what?

[puranijeans2002]

@DaninJonesboro excellent view, I wish someone on the podium could have said this way...

[DaninJonesboro]

@puranijeans2002 Thank you. Have you noticed how the only one saying 'let this war end' is the veteran Ron Paul, it's because he has some idea of the hypocrisy involved by this 'fighting for our freedom' idea that permeates the American landscape. I got news for everybody, the young soldiers dying on a weekly basis in these illegal wars are not dying for my FREEDOM! It's a sad day in the US when our sons and daughters can be sent into warzones as cannon fodder so some contactor can get rich!

[AviatorZER0]

If the final GOP candidate is neither Huntsman nor Paul, this vote's going to Obama

[bigdaddy1525]

War mongers!! More war. Peace is war, tyranny is freedom, and ignorance is strength. Got to love it america. Keep picking war mongers and you will get all that you deserve.

[homan2329]

as soon as the american withdraw the taliban will be at the outskirts of kabul within 6 months. the afgan army has no stomach for the fight . most of them dont understand why we are there or what we are doing. they regard us as an occupying force , as far as the vast majority are concern ( not the corrupt elite ) they will welcome the taliban back , just swopping one master for another at least these lot speaks the lingo. dont waste another $ on them, they really dont deserve us .

[bushpigification]

i agreed with huntsmen, cheaper is the way to go about it... spec ops are cheap and with a small amount of them there doing recon/surveilence, along with drones, you can keep a good eye on whats happening at a minimal cost... although i prefer the ron paul policy myself, but still huntsman policy is a good change.

[3treU]

I be lived in Ron Paul what Americans need a good leader with facts and who protect American people, also Ron Paul shows you with facts, and he knows what is happening inside and out. He does play by rules from the constitution and what their other person is doing is looking how to the extent more money and turn more down. think. What is to Americans today and see what is happening?

[Roc28210]

Huntsman is the only one making any sense on this panel!!!

[Mikkhep]

@Roc28210 Perhaps, but there are so many complications and issues when it comes to having troops and removing troops from international services that we don't even know... and it does not necessarily have to be a conspiracy or some evil plan from the government...

[vycaso]

Im surprised that these candidates are not bothered by the upside down Satanic stars in the background. I have never in my life seen so many inverted stars on tv, magazines and children games until 2011. Obama will be the last President of the United States.

[scovell7]

The official version of 9/11 is a fairytale, so here we have a whole debate based on a false premise. Unless 9/11 is properly investigated, and the truth is brought to light for all to see, America has zero future. If you question this, please consider how things have gone for us since that fateful day.

[irrelevance90]

A candidate that makes sense and provides logical points with well-researched evidences? God forbid, Huntsman is a heresy to the GOP.

[visceralguy]

Huntsman is right on point.

[sethzky77]

When two turds lie in the same bowl, it all stinks like shit.......

[yes4me]

The problems is that republican talking point is about bringing the army in every country just to be safe at home... but the truth is:

WE CANNOT AFFORD this kind of security. We are broke thanks to Bush and now Obama policy regarding the military.

And please don't tell me that Canada get a free security just because they are next to the US. If I was Canada, I would be scared to death of the US who just like to bully everything they see that doesn't conform to their belief.

[IamYoddle]

JUST LEAVE.

[3GBlog]

@IamYoddle Its so fucking simple, I'm surprised more simple minded dumbfuck republicans can't understand it already!

[JohnnyAppleWeedTV]

we wanna see Ron Paul! oh yeah god gave me freewill goodbye AP!

[763873]

What a bunch of bullshit. These fucks think that we're all unaware of the U.S. and NATO aiding ex Taliban and Al Qaeda combatants in Libya and establishing Sharia Law in that country.

[DaninJonesboro]

@763873 Just look at the comments on this article, most people have their heads in the sand or their heads so far up FOX news ass that the facts on the ground don't matter. Here you have 'Abdelhakim Belhadj' and 'Ali Sulabi' in Libya who founded the LIFG and coordinated the use of Libyan fighters into Iraq to wage war on US soldiers, these are now our friends in that region and have US support and funding. A poll was taken and Libya ranked up on top with foriegn fighters in Iraq, LIFG sent.

[senglord]

Romney was against "staying in Afghanistan" before he was for it before he was against it before he was for it before he was against it ...

What makes this sad is that you can put ANY ISSUE in thase quotes and it will still be true.

But the Republicans are going to vote for this guy anyway, because they are

"conservatives" trying to build up Sino-America

[Dantesdoom]

@senglord Couldnt have put it any better

[Dimefan91]

Huntsman is the best candidate I've seen

[253FDUB]

@Dimefan91 Ron Paul is good as well
