[FangnclawX]

Darn I hate how slowly HD vids load on my comp. And I hate politics...what am doing here...I'm going to listen to some Christmas carols!

[steviebkhall]

I don't enjoy thinking about the sobbut he reminds me of Lucy pulling away charlie's fotball on the kick( with fourth quarter and 14:55 on the clock ! Is is really necesarry that with the Biplar american political system they have to fuck each other ?, O.K. -a dry 69l. thanks mr. K

obviously You did not read the Bill , It specifically states using the War Powers Res for preemptive strikes to fight Terrorism. It states no Country @ all. This means any Country harboring terrorist may be struck @ anytime. This was by no means a declaration of war against any one Country Go back to reading again. And by the way I was talking about Iraq when I quoted H.J. 114. I laugh at people like you. That is why I quit the Republican Party. And now am proud to say I am a Constitutionalist.

Love the idea... Just wish you'd use "it's a wonderful Life... But than I've always had a weak spot for Charlie Bown....

I know personal feelings... But basically I bow to the master as usual...

AWESOME job as usual.

[britethorn]

Thanks! Very much appreciated!!!!

[imaginepeace63]

Obama is going to send more troops. Oh good grief.

[britethorn]

Makes me want my blanket.

[benmols]

I dont know why, but i loved this haha. You should do one about Gordon Brown... im from UK, he needs more personality... Im suprised anyone out of the UK knows Gordon brown is our Prime minister...

[britethorn]

If Gordon Brown had more personality he would have been PM before Blair. If that had happened, would the UK have gone into Iraq?

[Hewylewis]

Poor Obama.

[voyeurdug]

Four and a half years before the end of our involvement in Vietnam, (~about~ a year after Tet '68), we began turning over assets and mission to the Vietnamese, and putting the Saigon regime on notice that we were outbound... and began "reinforcing at lowered levels."

Believe Obama et al will be a bit more creative with this, and will, month by month, shift missions & resources in such a way that will let us slip out the back door, while slipping NATO and/or UN forces in the front door.

[brder4ev]

First off it is not a War it is a Police action and you can never win a fight over Ideology . I am dumbfounded at the amount of morons in this World.

[scamon01]

Yeah, it's crazy how many people don't know that Congress declared war on 9/14/2001, and so, yeah, it's a war in Afghanistan...

[brder4ev]

You need to do more research because that never happened . Bush used the War Powers Res. of 1973 to enter in the Unconstitutional Police action occurring @ this time to Guard the Poppy for Big Pharma. the only joint resolution for actions now occurring are H.J.Res 114 on Oct.16th.2002 against Iraq.

[scamon01]

Right. More research. HJ 114 was to authorize use of force in Iraq. We're talking about Afghanistan. The Act of Congress authorizing force in Afghanistan was passed on 9/14/2001. [S.J.RES.23

Title: A joint resolution to authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.]

[kentatm]

interesting but I think it kind of loses momentum and falls apart once you bring in Bush. I'm not sure exactly what my issue with it was but it did not seem to flow well. Perhaps shortening the song and Linus segments in a less is more approach?

Maybe use somebody (Grayson?) screaming to get out completely at the start rather than McCain could make the confusion of what to do hit harder?

cool vid that I think you could really knock out of the park with a reworking of the Bush portion.

[britethorn]

Good thoughts on that, you're probably right about shortening the end. I actually cut more than a quarter of what I had originally written -- plus the yodeling from Bush at the end of the song. If it were an actual actor playing Bush, the speech would have worked better. Hard to get much expression out of an action figure.

[privateworldofwarft]

I do agree that obama should have decided to send more troops earlier. if obama going to be pro-war he should be all the way with it. He did promised to win in Afghanistan. The last thing he should do is half ass this like bush did. Bush thought he would be out in a few months and sent only a skeleton force. That is why all the looting happened and why our soldier had to fight so hard afterwards. Once the troops get there those training camps will be safer and corruption can be concentrated on.

[britethorn]

I tend to agree with what George Will said in the clip I included in the film -- but if Obama can pull off everything you mentioned, I'll be very happy indeed. I think he's probably feeling a bit like Charlie Brown these days -- nothing he does makes anyone particularly happy. There don't seem to be any easy answers to anything lately.

[privateworldofwarft]

@britethorn Well I agree it does sound like everything he is doing is being criticized. Most of the time its coming from the right and there is in fighting in the left. He is only been there for a year tho. I think people need to give him a chance.

[privateworldofwarft]

@britethorn Well anyway before you log off can you take a user request? Can you make a video about H1N1 and how the TV host are endangering people by telling us not to take the vaccine thanks and good night.

[britethorn]

Good thought. I'll definitely work it in to one of the Bill Maher videos. I'm trying to post every day (or nearly) so I appreciate the suggestion.

[privateworldofwarft]

@britethorn Cool man I am looking forward to seeing your videos and being the first poster lol .

[bahamiangreek101]

privateworldofwarft I agree with you on this.Nevertheless great video britethorn-I wish Obama and the troops nothing but the best of luck no one can argue with that though.

[privateworldofwarft]

Obama just announce that he is sending 30,000 troops but I don't like the time table. 18 months is not enough time to completely change the country. He was not clear 18 months for surge troops to go away or all of our troops?? If its all of our troops i don't support that.

[privateworldofwarft]

First one to comment again! I should get a big prize!

[britethorn]

Thanks for posting -- although I can't help but notice that you didn't rate it. Did George's singing put you off?

[privateworldofwarft]

@britethorn lol I'll rate you five stars how does that sound(since you inquired)? It made me chuckle a little when Bush says obama's name in that stupid ascent. Overall its ok but I seen videos from you that I gave me bully laughs. I give it 5 stars since it raises a discussion on what is considered victory. Bush was just jumping the gun back then. Should obama do the same today? This video made me think.

[britethorn]

Mission Accomplished! (It was hard to go for too much "funny" with this topic.)

[privateworldofwarft]

@britethorn yeap I am sure there will be plenty of debates on this page later on.
