Dick Cheney should shut the fuck up and leave the Job of running the country to our ELECTED president Barrack Obama !!
Cock Cheney is the last person in politics to talk about what the president should do or what our troops need, he along with Bush had a total of 12 deferments from Vietnam !!
Cheney and Bush were cowards who ran from war and the service to their country when THEY HAD THE CHANCE !
So did your all mighty leader Bill "I Did NOT INhale" Clinton... but Monica did!
He avoided Vietnam did he not?
Biden avoided Vietnam as well?
Nancy Pelosi could have served as a nurse right? Why wasn't she in Vietnam?
Harry Reid... where was he in Vietnam?
Epic fail for LIBtards. It isn't too late though... we can bring back the DRAFT and force all of you falsies to serve your Messiah in Chief. You can die for him in Afghanistan right? Step on up! serve your Messiah!
Dick Cheney, what an American. After 12 years of sucking ass to the bush bunch, now he has all of the problems solved. He should go back to doing what he does best, getting drunk and shooting friends while hunting. If he is so smart, why is he not our President. He loves sending young Americans into a battle that can not be won. The old bastard has used his failing heart as an excuse too long. Do us all a favor, shut up go home, have a real heart attack. But, please just shut up
Olbermann talking about only listening to selectively chosen military members for opinions on Afghanistan...that's all he and other liberals do to support their pullout position, because the majority of troops every time they're asked, either war, say they support the mission, think they're doing good for the people of Afghanistan/Iraq. I'm fine with letting majority opinion of the military decide Afghan policy if that's what Olby wants.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
RuflessRecords...TYhe troops support the mission? And just what is the mission? Thereis no clear mission in place in either war. We cannot allow the military to set policy. That is why a civilian, the prsident, is commander in chief. It is no secret that the military is always willing to wage a battle, somewhere, anywhere, just to try out their new toys. You need to rethink your position about letting the military decide policy. It's wrong and dangerous.
Wasn't Obama the one candidate who said he'd invade Waziristan during the campaign? Now he'll only half heartedly commit to prosecuting the war we're in? A true Demonicrat would already be using conscription to alleviate unemployment. Perhaps his dithering is part of a clever plan to embolden our enemies in order to promote a "wider war" to stimulate our economy.
Obama is under 50% on Real Clear Poliitics polls. Liberals are also stupid, Olbermann knows anything doing with the war is a tough call and all he wants Obama to do is spend money and lie about its true costs! Has Obama made 1 call that the majority of America even agrees with? NO, and finally his popularity is catching up to his policy!
If his policy was really good North Korea would have never tested missles that way. What about his Honderus policy? Iranian policy during the riots? Hell you have editors of Newsweek out eight saying the Democrats health care bill is dishonest in costs yet are so blind in ideology they say "do it" anyway. That is also what is wrong in the media, blind ideology for a statist run America. No reporting on Climategate, no honesty in costs of the healthcare bill.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You asked if Obama has made one call that the majority agreed with. I gave you an example. Suck on it.
"If his policy was really good North Korea would have never tested missles that way."
What the fuck? Since when has any country managed to boss around North Korea? Are you saying Obama should have seen the future and been able to prevent the missile test?
NK had promised not to test missiles in 1996, and then they did in 1998. Then they promised not to do it in 2000, and they did it in 2006, For both previous presidencies, they defied their agreements.
Yuh ok dumb fuck, just ignore the fact the tests have dialed up under Obama. Missle tests and under ground nuke tests on a larger scale. How many missles did they launch on the 4th of July weekend? That is the problem with liberals they ignore facts to press their non sense.
Firing 5 or six missles on the forth of July is not symbolic? Are you this stupid? Largest under ground test and the firing of those missles were within 2 months jack ass
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Except that Obama's condemnation of NK's missile test, and his urge to the UN to follow him, have caused NK to give up and start offering to negotiate.
That is actually laughable, next you will be telling me Iran is ACTUALLY doing the same thing. It is funny though how Obama gets nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 12 days into his first term when 3 days into it he orders a preditor drone attack into Pakistan that killed many innocent women and children...kind of like Yasser Arafat winning it as well.
it's an understandable question. Looking at the whole thing, it is obvious a prowestern democratic people and gvnment would create a safer US, and the whole world really. Unlike under Saddam (in Iraq), citizens at least have a chance for fairness and peace now. Victory is that -an ally in such an infested place. This is how you win a war, okay? You overwhelm the enemy. You take out influential leaders. (wrapup) You talk to tribal leaders, and let them know terrorism is not the way to go.
You're talking about traditional warfare, one army against another.
How do you fight an idea? How do you fight a tactic? Because that's what terror is. Terror isn't a person or a group of people. Terror is the choice to cause violence in the name of an agenda - it could be a shared agenda or a private one.
There are American terrorists too. How do you overwhelm them? Who are their leaders?
Actually you can tie the war on christians to the war on terror you fool. Why don't you see how Britain is doing it....Saying happy (insert holiday here) to anyone is not telling people to F off. There are many on the left who take it that way and they are where you are going to get your eventual riots and or violence from. Divide and Concour.
Whatever dumb ass, at least most of us can tell the difference between right and wrong sausage boy. This is Obama's theme music, and someone needs to shove him into the shallow waters before he gets too deep /watch?v=nPs7-5feq-M
Yet people attack others for saying or showing it..like I said before douche bag someone wishing you a merry Christmas or happy Hanukkah or whatever holiday it may be is not trying to hurt you. It is that person's way of wishing you well for that time and place. Totally stupid to attack it.
Oh, just like stores can not say "Merry Christmas" and can not do baby Jesus plays or put up scenes in public places? God damn how much of an idiot are you?
Athiests and left wing scum...I need to make 5 500 letter posts to document what is already known? Let me guess you also think the NEA is a straight up geat teachers organization too right?
So you are a dumb fuck denier this is happening? Of course because the socialist left is for the "good of the people" and not a divide and conquer scheme for power...HA
ACLU, members within the NEA, Athiest groups...many of the groups are small and deny being tied in with anything large, straight out of the "Rules for Radicals" play book. NEA actually recommend reading "Rules for Radicals" to teachers. Funny how the left tries to peg the right as radicals and their playbook is actually named for radicals huh?
Give me the name of an ACLU member, an NEA member, an atheist, an actual name of a person, and tell me what that person said or did to attack Christmas.
Ahh so kids do not get kicked out of school for praying? Teachers have not been fired for the same? Are you really this stupid? You have no facts, even in your North Korean argument all NK is doing is BUYING TIME you idiot. Poland LOVES Obama policy and so does Honderus...because it is so fantastic...LOL
'Athiests & left wing scum' is not a *name* of a person or organization, tubaboy. p00lman asked for the *name* of a person or organization that's attacked xmas. Why can't u provide simple proof?
You accuse without thought. Now provide evidence.
On 2nd thoughts I guess 'facts' are not a 'conservative thang'--unless they fit in with reich-wing loony fantasy like the weird worlds of the deathers, birthers, teabaggers..& the rest of these wild-eyed, spittle spewing, US extremists.
Accuse without thought? That is a lefty weak ass thing..By the way idiot I am a registered democrat and have been for 21 years. Some odd reason You would have to be the p00lman under a new name or at least his underachieving lover LOL
And what's the name of that Kenyan? I don't know why you're talking about someone from Kenya when we're discussing Obama and Cheney's comments about the war effort.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
In the context of this war, what does "winning" actually mean?
Does "winning" in Afghanistan mean we take over the country?
Does it mean we kill every single terrorist (which is impossible)?
Does it mean people stop shooting at our troops? Because as long as there's no formal military we're attacking (and there isn't), there can never be a formal surrender.
Nutbags like Gibson have to stop thinking in terms of extremes and take reality into consideration some day.
Obama wants a HC bill passed in a week, but lets "deliberate" and take several months when it comes to Afghanistan. Do you understand the irony in this?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's not irony. The health care situation in America is not rapidly changing. The war is. They need to establish what the war effort requires by taking the time to analyze it.
Poo -- several months ago, the Obama claim was that people were suffering (the typical repeated strawman argument) and that we needed a healthcare reform bill on his desk by July. Never let a crisis go to waste, remember?
