obama's anti-war speech 2002

[MrTruelionheart]

BUSH IS WORSE THAN SADAM!!! 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB BY THE US GOVERNMENT!!! I AM A US SOLDIER AND I CAN REALIZE THIS !!! WHY CANT YOU???? I LOST SO MANY FRIENDS OVER A WAR OUR GOV STARTED FOR THEIR OWN GAIN!

[BlackRepublican2010]

Removing Saddam from slaughtering his own people is a "dumb war" (Obama 2002) but now Obama removing Gaddafi from slaughtering his own people is somehow great! President Obama validates George W. Bush more and more every day.

[jaymzz66]

@BlackRepublican2010 no one gave a black rat's ass about saddam's slaughterin his own ppl when it waz aktually happenin. but a soon az he wanted 2 start tradin HIS OWN oil in other currencies not jus $, all of a sudden he bekame a tyran 2 overthrow. the dumberikan way of doin business need 2 b prezerved @ any kost...

[Jourdansway]

@jaymzz66 And how long has Gadaffi been slaughtering his people? Did it just start last month? And exactly where are you from? If you are from the U.S., did you get a public education from those great unionized teachers?

[jaymzz66]

@Jourdansway i got my education frm socialist europe wer they teach facts based on history n science, not the bible. wer governments spend collected revenues called taxes mainly on public projects n not illegal invasions of sovereign nations, wars they can't win even after 8 years, or corporate thieves who rob their own nation blind! where ppl recognize what their economic interest is. where freedom still holds its value n denies 2 become a gimmick of the conservatives. what about u, KS, KY, AL?

[Jourdansway]

@jaymzz66 then why are all those socialist countries in Europe going bankrupt. Riots in the streets. Governments running out of those tax dollars because the incentive is to work for the government or be on the dole from the government. What people don't get is that even though public workers pay taxes, their salary was tax dollars, they are just giving some back. You demonize capitalism but that is the source of ALL the funding for your 'public projects'

[jaymzz66]

@Jourdansway bankrupt? riots in the streets? 8 out 10 countries in the world with the highest standard of living r in Europe, with the Scandinavians, taxed to death according 2 yankees, holding the top 3 spots! why is the US the biggest debtor in the world? why is the socialist China the biggest creditor in the world? u just cant handle the truth that u live in a fukkkd up country where the constitution was, as many freax believe, written by jesus fukkken krist..

[jamestylerdotorg]

Thank God Obama was elected; I'm so glad the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are finally over! DRINK SOME MORE KOOL-AID

[LipsmackerGrape]

his only doing it cause george w bush started this war. obama is trying to end it. didn't you hear the bit where he said that he knew it would be a bad idea to send trooops into iraq without proper information?

i think that the war in iraq was and still is pointless. as far as i know the people from australia and britain have withdrawn most of their troops. the ones that stay are there to train new iraqi police and soldiers so that iraq can keep its own peace.

[faanunu]

This war was started with the first Bush and continued with the Clinton Admin through sanctions then Bush and is continuing under Obama... our foreign policy has not chnged regardless of admins perhaps there is something wrong with it. The truth is all these admins have been doing this under UN resolutions and ignored the US Constitution. Obama is more of the same... keeping all the Bush grabs for power, ignoring the Constitution and more wars. No change here.

[iowahorseman]

@LipsmackerGrape I think you have forgotten why this war started.... if i remember right... orgionally they came to our back yard... not the otherway arround.... with the recent events of iran invading the oil fields it's just a matter of time before our troops are gone and iran goes all the way to baghdad

[moeron85]

If Barack H. Obama "would willingly take up arms to prevent such tragedy from happening again ", why wouldn't he realize that he's only perpetuating the problem and by waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan actually making us less safe.

And if he is so willing to take up arms then why doesn't he go instead of sending other American men and women to die in vain?

[DAL2543]

What George Bush S. said, if someone becomes educated, they become democrat, if someone obtains money, they become conservative.

[mtnprivy]

where did you get that quote?

[falstaff92]

and burgrman i wish people would listen to you but everyone is just another sheep under the self -contradicting democrat's staff

[1CCCP2]

i agree with ifukyouintheass!!!

[ifukyouintheass]

this video sux. specially the music. waste of my time.

[jaymzz66]

@ifukyouintheass jus like ur life, a waste of time, air, water n other useful thingz irreversably gone... 

[chrishafford]

only someone with a very limited or confused view of socialism could possibly say "Our government is no longer a democracy but a scholiast government run by the rich and powerful" by definition to be rich and powerfull goes against the very heart of the idea of socialism. socialism is a means of governing to "share wealth." word

[quieteagle2003]

Wake up all of you and understand that all religions have the same origins whether you like it or not, we were all created from the same stuff of life, and we all struggle for the same things.

No mater weather you choose to believe in a higher being or not and no matter what name you choose to give to your deity we are all brothers and sisters and all we need do is learn that one simple fact, and begin to help and hold each other as we would any of our own family.

[quieteagle2003]

We are the richest country in the world, not by great wealth but rather by the richness of diversity in culture and religion, yet we war agents our brothers and sisters over each others differences. Am I the only one on this planet that can see this?

God has given us this entire wonderful place to live and learn and in all the time we have been aloud to be here we have learned absolutely nothing!

[quieteagle2003]

Our government is no longer a democracy but a scholiast government run by the rich and powerful, as it has been throughout time the well to do will walk on roads created with the bones and blood of the poor.

We the people of the United States of America had attempted to form a more perfect union and since its inception we have failed miserably.

[quieteagle2003]

Why cant you people understand that religion and personal disagreement that has and has always caused war both in this land as well as all lands?

As for 911 it was a great scam put together by the very people that we in trust to keep us safe, we are all fools!

[falstaff92]

anyone who says 911 was a scam is clearly ignorant and even with a slight of any real logic you can tell it was not a scam but a tragedy. again, your not stuck here, if you dont like it leave

[jaymzz66]

america made a holy cow 2 bow 2 out of democracy, which makes her no different from any extremist regime in the world. defend ur democracy within ur own borders n leave the rest of the world the fuck alone! otherwise, get ready 4 some more 9/11's!

[fothgt]

Obama will not replace liberty with Marxism if Americans hold their elected officials responsible. Bush did not promise a war when he was elected. It can be debated that the President manipulated the post 9/11 environment. Our Senate and House should have checked the president. Many played politics after 9/11 rather than become statesmen and women representing their constituents. Our periodicals did not help the situation also.

[Hiker97]

Excellent video. Remarkable words...

Dark red text on a black background is not legible.

[tai006]

tell me why we were there in the first place thehmmmmmmm. Yes Saddam was terrible but look at how unstable the whole region is now. Thanks so much Bush admin for running the country into the ground. There were no WMDs, no true vital links to al, and ZERO links to Osama who Saddam hated.

[funkyboyg]

Behold the Messiah. We are not worthy!

[thehmmmm]

I don't know why we are pulling out. I hear so much talk on the homeland about how the troops are suffering, but when I talk to the people who are actually there, they are happy to serve. they signed up for the military, this is what they joined to do. also, the war in Iraq is almost over. it has almost completely stabilized. The casualties in this war are minimal compared to other wars, such as WWI and II. People back then were willing to fight for their country. how quickly we forget...

[jaymzz66]

how quickly we 4get? seemz the only 1 4gettin here iz u. this war waz started on false n prefabricated groundz, 4 which 1 life terminated iz 1 way too many...

[thehmmmm]

and can you explain to me the "prefabricated grounds?" give me all the details, as well as your sources. was 9/11 "prefabricated" as well?

[jaymzz66]

the war was declared on fake evidence of wmd's, which were never found, as well as saddam's alleged connection 2 al quaida, which couldn't have been further from the truth since bin ladin was his regional rival. 9/11 was, like it or not, a ingenious act of terrorism masterfully planned n executed by a group of no more than 40 ppl, almost all of m being saudis! iraq's nothing else but a w's gift 2 his father n cheney's gold mine. 2 educate urself, read 'what happened'...

[burgrman]

Yeah thats it, Iraq the peaceful nation. They would never bomb a nearby nation over oil and rape/kill their own people and destroy all evidence of WMDs as we prepare for war. That just wouldn't make sense, this is all about giving a present to someone's father. I mean why would we put any force behind the UN threats towards Iraq to fall in line or be attacked. Ohh and the poor Democrats who were so blindly following the pied piper. But hey, ignorance is bliss!

[LunaCat59]

he was right. this is a beautiful and very moving clip.

[glfmusicman]

First, God Bless our troops and I am in sympathy for all who has lost love ones whether in the war or 911. Secondly I must say this,Obama was right with his statement about Sadam. George Bush has brainwashed the American people by talking about Sadam to justify the war. Sadam was a personal vendetta because he put out a hit on Bush's father GeorgeW. America has been brainwashed because they were hurt by 911. But Sadam didn't do 911! Bush's war excuse was 911. Yet Bin Laden did it! Wake Up People

[rascal95113]

Obama needs to be exposed for his ideological extremism, which Obama generically packages as hope and change.

Obama would replace liberty with Marxism in America

Once liberty is lost here in America, it will not likely soon return. Yet that is the road Barack Obama, as President, would lead us down!

[jaymzz66]

if u knew anythin about marxism n not bought in2 the demonizin krap, u wud find out that it never intends 2 take anybodyz freedomz away. just kauze the republikuntz say so duzzn mean they hav any idea...

[adamswise]

he says that saddam poses no immenent threat to his neighbors which he didnt. but this implies barrack cares about the well being of the neighboring countries of a brutal dictator. if he cares about the neighbors, why doesnt he care about the iraqi people? they are just as distant and removed from him as the neighboring countries and their lives and well being are constantly in dangger from saddams rape rooms torture chambers and executions of the innocent.

[adamswise]

at the very least, bush's intervention has removed this modern day hitler. this is similar to how we didnt go into rwanda during the genocide, how we are not intervening to save the lives of hundreds of thousands in darfur. watching innocents being slaughtered is the worst crime against humanity possible. and my bad for mispelling imminent before for anyone that cares

[ajjy502]

Beautifully done!!! Barack is a wise and thoughtful leader. Iraq war made the Bush oil family richer and their Saudi friends too. God bless our troops and families who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, in service to their country in a war that has disgraced the US Government. Barack can bring respect and credibility back to USA in the eyes of foreign countries. Again, God bless our troops and their loved ones, you are in my prayers. May God comfort you and bring you peace!!

[OmnipotentEntity]

What is this song in the background?

[OmnipotentEntity]

Googled it and found it to be Portishead - Roads

[mckaygurl06]

Good job on this video. i really hope he is the nomine for the democrates

[kgj08]

Is Sudan an imminent threat to the United States or its neighbors? Then why should we try to help out there?

[c1ee]

Yes you should according to your administration's supposed values right? You dind't really go into Iraq for oil right? Prove it by stopping the atrocities committed in Sudan.

[kgj08]

There's 4 reasons to go to war: military, political, economic, and humanitarian reasons. Iraq covers all 4. Darfur covers two of them: humanitarian and mayybe political.
