we can say watever the fuck we want according to the constitution unless we are in a PUBLIC place such as AIRPORT, TRAINSTATION, GOVERNTMENT BUILDING not the internet so go screw your mom
Gen. Petraeus is extremely well educated and trained, as well as highly respected and talented. Had he run the war from the beginning we wouldn't even have an insurgency in Iraq. He's the only reason we're even close to leaving Iraq in victory. I don't think we should have ever invaded and occupied Iraq, but if we're going to be in that war I'm glad we are making the best of it with this general.
How can you say "God Bless America" when you stated that you could care less if troops die.
I'd like to see you run the nation better. Petraeus has been trained extensively in foreign relations as it pertains to a military stand point. You try graduating from West Point Academy and becoming a 4 star general in the United States Army. The fact is, the man is highly intellegent, knows what he's doing, and probably cares more about his country and the people in it than you ever could imagine.
People are so unprincipled nowadays. Just behold the atrocity of Jizedi's (an American's) statement and don't give me a Scandinavian's view of what America should be. You keep your loyalties to Finland; I'll keep mine to the United States.
Do you have any frigging idea what freedoms the US constitution grants you?! There is no "treasonous speech" in America, only free speech! You can even shout "Down with USA" from the top of your lungs right in front of the white house without getting into trouble with the law! I don't suppose you want to wipe off the 1st amendment and change all that?
You call Jizedi's statement an atrocity! A statement isn't an atrocity and speech kills no-one.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean you can say anything and get away with it. Take bomb threats and slander for example. When your speech threatens or infringes the basic rights of others, it crosses the line. And you fail to miss the entire sentiment of my response to Jizedi--who said 1. he could care less that our troops are dying, and 2. he wishes Petraeus were dead. That's the attitude of a traitor, not someone who wants to address the problems and fix things. Sounds like he's Al-Qaeda.
Bomb threats and shouting "fire" in a crowded building as well as slander (intentionally telling things about someone that aren't true e.g. "Obama is a muslim and a terrorist") I can understand, as these DO infringe the rights and safety of others, but how the hell does saying "I wish our troops die" fit there? It's not like saying it will make it happen - right?
It might irritate and offend people who think otherwise, but do you really think people have the right not to be offended?
Let me put it to you this way, if you're NOT offended by Jizedi's comments, you have some big problems. I can't believe you want to sit here arguing about whether he's "allowed" to say what he said rather than, as a human being, recognize with me the disgusting, sub-human nature of his remarks. I'm getting the feeling that you either share his sentiments or you just like to argue.
Jizedi have the right to say that if he wish the soldiers to die. He got Freedom of Speech, there no treason in that. But if he ever say that to a soldier, well if a soldier feel like it during off duty. Jizedi might get a beating depending on the soldier mood. Jizedi, I dunno who you are. But soldiers have job.A job that they do not like. A lot soldiers rather chill and relax than going out there getting themselve shot at. But someone gotta do it.
well there you have it, you can always argue against freedom of speech by trying to use language against it but your argument remains in a place of false power, supposedly a lot of countries have some version of freedom of speech and also mental health clinics where what your saying can be evaluated, do you see what i mean its not that simple, your intentions are ultimately confronted you can't hide behind radical words and then say you didn't mean them like it matters.You need to involve media.
But his comment on ensuring the conditions was more directed at staying apolitical than it was supporting McCain or Obama. That's the point I was making.
Petraeus has made a good point to not favor one side politically over the other. The Republicans supported the surge in 2007 and that turned out for the good of the Iraq, and though he never called it a success, it was about as successful as anyone could have hoped for. Now he's basically saying that he supports the position that Obama supports in the upcoming election, well good for him. That just proves that Petraeus isn't supporting one party over the other like he was accused of back in '07
OH man- McCain couldn't be more foolish can he? "Obama wants to sit down with enemies and talk to them; that way he will legitimize thier cuase because they are sitting down with Americans oh no!" talking to enemies is bad!!!!man McCain what a dipshit
Petraeus ... Petraeus ... Petraeus ... that's all John McCain wants to quote. As usual, John McCain is the "MASTER OF MIS-QUOTES." John McCain has a talent for twisting truths and presenting half truths.
so obama is right and mccain + rest of republicans + hillary is wrong. obama wants to talk to Iran. the rest of the hill-billies do not want that because Iran is Arab.
From a non-American (specifically British) point of view, Petraeus is much more eloquent and far more encouraging a representative of the US than McCain or Palin. Why doesn't anyone want to elect him instead?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL You call it eloquent - I call it very British. The "including us" part from an American surprised me so much, that I seriously wondered if he's a Brit who happens to have an American accent! He must have been working a lot with Brits, or studied in England. It seems very, very un-American for someone with his authority to be like this - from a Dutch perspective that is...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
generals should stick to their goddamn job thats killing anyone a politician tells to kill. politicians should stick to there goddamn job, following the orders of the people that elected them.
Why is having as little people as possible disagreeing with us such a bad idea? Our macho "we're too good to negotiate" idea shouldn't be taken to heart beyond petty criminals. When it comes to people who are willing to blow themselves the fuck up, maybe we should like, LISTEN to what they have to say? I mean shit, people! The more two people stab each other with their backs turned, the worse it will get for both.
LOL, Patraeus said he believes that things must be "set up" Ie preconditions. And only those that were ready and reconcilable were talked to. For instance AQ was NOT talked to. Obama in no way won this talking point.
Incorrect, he said that they sat down with those shooting them, and identified who was and was not reconcilable. It is impossible to identify if someone is persuadable, if you never speak to them. The set-up component merely identifies that there is an organized process to it, including objectives -- which might not include requirements on their parts, aka without precondition. This supports Obama's position.
So your saying Patraeus supports talking to Al Queda? Haha, quit equivocating. Often "talking" is used by a inferior military to bide time or gain legitimacy which is quite counterproductive. Iran is trying to stall for time to proliferate like Hiltler used 'talking' to solidify his power before launching an aggressive military campaign.
Common sense says they can ramp up armed forces for an aggressive hostilities EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT ENGAGED IN TALKING. Your point makes absolutely no sense. Talk about "equivocating".
Thousandsof children and women killed? Nelson a terrorist? Then the white boere folk were all nazis if you would list their crimes. There is a huge difference between the ANC and Al Qaeda. ANC wanted majority rule and Al Qaeda wants every one to be a Muslim . . . or die. What's there to negotiate about? The people where I come from see only one response. Fetch your gun. The only way to really beat the radical Muslims is to liberate their women.
EXACTLY! That's what some of us are talking about. I want to see more GOOD DIPLOMACY PRACTICE by the next US president. It is the lack of it that in great part has us in the difficult position we're in today.
some time in 1980 a girl named jannet. she died a horrible death. if u not post this text over to 5 videos on youtube your will see her in you home in the next 3 hours. "im sry im so scared i dont whant her in my room"
Wonder if winston ever regretted "jaw to Jaw" time he gave Hitler that resulted in him solidifying his power and murdering tens of millions of people.
Not blaming him, Winston actually warned Britain of the danger of talking to Hitler instead of attacking him, but no one listened until it was too late. Obama is a reflection of a loss of political will in America, and his policies will lead to Iran proliferating.
It is just common sense that Iran will not stop trying to proliferate and that talking to them about it is pointless and only buys them more time. I suppose the Israelis will have to handle it...
Churchill was not against TALKING to Hitler, he was against APPEASING Hitler [ie Neville Chamberlain GIVING AWAY CZECHOSLAVAKIA] BIG DIFFERENCE "my friend". Common sense says just b/c you talk, doesn't mean you are giving them a god darned thing.
It seems the problem with tension all over the world is LACK of communication, it's nuts because of modern tech. we communicate faster than ever in history. One thing nobody is talking about is the President of Iran is not that powerfull, he is a moron and his own people know it, and so does Washington. The Ayatollahs,4 or 5 of them, have power, not the idiot that spews his BS we see. From what I've read they don't see things the way he does. I support Israel, so bomb them, but talk first.
PETRAEUS FOR OBAMA!!! He said exactly what Obama has been saying this whole time. There was a time when we, as Americans, were considered to be terrorists against England. Yet, we changed the name from terrorists to Patriots...LOL. The Spaniards were also terrorists who used germ warfare against the Natives to destroy them.
No this is not what Obama is saying. Obama stated that The President should talk to these terrorists and Petraeus is stating diplomats talk to the terrorists which is what we have been doing all along. McCain is still right the President should not sit down with these people/ nations with no preconditions.
Most high ranking men in our military are very intelligent and it makes me sad to see they have to follow the lead of someone who knows much less about the world and the military. They understand that our forces are there to defend democracy, not to spread it. You spead democracy by being a good representative of it.
The FBI will be charging ACORN executives with Federal Racketeering charges from Voter Fraud. Due to the criminal activities of ACORN it is estimated that at least 20% of all registered voters nationally are fraudulent. The U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey and FBI Director Robert Mueller are leading the charge to ensure all registrations are verified and those that cannot be verified are set aside so on election night if people try using the names will be arrested for voter fraud
Just imagine how unAmerican it is to weave a bunch of lies together so you can yell them into a crowd, to whip up a frenzy of folks yelling "terrorist," about a US Senator who mans the US Veteran Affairs & Homeland Security Committees. Rational conservatives better pull back these lunatic Neocons before they hurl America down a hole from which we may never recover. It's going to take more than one rally where McCain FINALLY acts respectful towards Obama for McCain to regain the honor he once had
Clearly an honest man. The "herd" will have this pass over their heads...they won't understand that Ron Paul, Obama and other wise men with sound judgement do not take the path of war like John McCain has a first choice option. Thank God.
You should, of course, sit down & talk first, even with your enemies.
Almost all former Secretaries of State believe that.
And we have indications Saddam wanted to talk with Bush to see what else he could do to satisfy him (he was already allowing inspectors to look for WMDs anywhere they wanted -- even tearing up his palaces).
The war in Iraq may have been avoided through USA/Iraq talks, unless it was really all about oil all along.
"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize."
great. so now we know mccain is not a general. we do know he was a schlock pilot though. yeah, he crashed 5 planes before being shot down over vietnam. sean hannity says they broke every bone in mccain's body when they captured him. i'll bet they even crammed it up his poop chute when they discovered he was the son of an admiral who actually instigated the vietnam war in the gulf of tonkin. no wonder he doesn't want to talk to his enemies. military victims are not the best choice for leadership.
Jennifer Brunner Ohio Secretary of State is actually HELPING voter fraud from ACORN to go on unchecked! Watch the video's at watch?v=Yk7EYaoGafw and watch?v=e03CB_DfvDc
This bitch whore refuses to give local election officials the tools they need to ensure against voter fraud. Call her office Toll Free at (877)-767-6446 and 877-767-3453 or google her website and email her directly to TELL HER to STOP VOTER FRAUD and DO HER DAMN JOB!
It's common sense to talk to your enemies. There are people in our Society and outside of it that do not want us to talk to our Enemies. If we did, problems might get resolved, and they can't have that.

Obama said he'd "talk without any pre-conditions." Those are his exact words, the words of a fool. No wonder Iran and the Palestinians want him to win, so they b.s. him like they did Clinton!
I have been a life long democratic woman but I will NEVER vote for Obama because his ties to terrorists and racists homosexuals like Ayers, Faracon, Rev Wrong, Larry Sinclair, and ACORN! This is NOT the Dem Party that I've supported. I am asking all Americans who are disgusted by Obamascampaign to join me and my friends and vote for McCain/Palin who have proven they can bring reform and cut our taxes! We need to hold criminals like Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others ACCOUNTABLE! Friend Me
Details. Petraeus said that you have to set things up. That's "pre-conditions". He also said you don't do it with everyone, you have to pick them. Obama said he would meet with any of them without any pre-conditions.
webxsuccess, glad to know there are still some level headed Democrats. Didn't think there were any.
SHUT IT.Obama said you talk to them WITH conditions.And Petraeus agrees.Warmonger republicans on the other hand would want to pick a fight with everyone and get the country further into debt.even Bush recently wanted to to get a diplomatic mission in Iran which is what Obama has always said.Once u start on a war path u alienate America's allies and are hated even more and the terrorism never ends.stupid republicans can never understand that.McPalin want war with Russia and Iran.Thats just stupid

Holy crap - what on Earth has McCain been running on all this time? He has been heavily quoting Petraeus left n right and never checked to see if Petraeus SUPPORTS Obama's diplomacy push? Unreal the nerve of McCain and Republicans and their campaign of complete deception, inciting hatred, and some to violence.
If Christians followed the word of Christ, Buddhists followed the word of Buda, and Muslims followed the word of Mohamed, the world would be a better place.
Thank you! Its good to know that the General understands the importance of diplomacy. Of course, that understanding is probably why he's in charge in the first place.
Our general and every other sane general does it all the time!
McCain is therefore a retard and don't get me me started about Palin, which basicly, she is a law-breaking liar. And Oct. 10th She broke Alaska State Law.
well, to be technical, i think she was found to have abused her public office, not to have broken alaska state law. anyway, she has a great ass and nice tits, which is enough for most people. and yes, mccain is officially a retard...
I think what Petraeus ment to say was that England is used to sitting down with people trying to stop the invasion of their country, aka resistance. not thugs. The English have experience in the art of invading other countries to financially exploit them like the US is doing to Iraq right now. After all they have their global empire...it was in "free trade" and now it is in banking.
Wow, I never realised Petraeus was such an intelligent person, considering all the idiots who constantly chant his name. Seems like someone with wit, tact, and a grasp of history & political reality. In short, all the things Palin lacks. What's pathetic is the way Republicans are trying to use this issue as a stick to hit Obama with. 'Preconditions' means that you restrict talks by limiting the criteria discussed before they start. I doubt Petraeus would have had such success like that.
Oh yeah. Petraeus is VERY intelligent. It's just that our nation elected George W. Bush as commander-in-chief of our military forces. It is General Petraeus's job to follow the orders of the CnC, and he is doing the best he can with the hand he's been dealt. I have much respect for this man.
It's dangerous when we elect a leader whose personal interests do not coincide with American interests.
King,your dead on! There is the fact that most of Bush's generals will resign if he invades Iran too. How many retired generals have come out and said Bush was wrong in Iraq? Damn near all of them. Let's take Iraq's $80 billion in surplus and get the hell out!
The best way to catch the terrorist snakes is to offer them a fully-televised Jurassic Park to live where they can speak their messages to the world 24/7. Then open the gates and watch them come running in. Lock the gates behind them.

Gen. Petraeus is extremely well educated and trained, as well as highly respected and talented. Had he run the war from the beginning we wouldn't even have an insurgency in Iraq. He's the only reason we're even close to leaving Iraq in victory. I don't think we should have ever invaded and occupied Iraq, but if we're going to be in that war I'm glad we are making the best of it with this general.
Matador11990 3 years ago 5
He's doing a great job letting Osama Bin Laden run free while our troops (who I don't really care about at all) die left and right.
Oh well. Guess it's okay. It'd be better if he DID walk into a mine field and die. Die horribly. God Bless America.
Jizedi 3 years ago
How can you say "God Bless America" when you stated that you could care less if troops die.
I'd like to see you run the nation better. Petraeus has been trained extensively in foreign relations as it pertains to a military stand point. You try graduating from West Point Academy and becoming a 4 star general in the United States Army. The fact is, the man is highly intellegent, knows what he's doing, and probably cares more about his country and the people in it than you ever could imagine.

Do you have any frigging idea what freedoms the US constitution grants you?! There is no "treasonous speech" in America, only free speech!

I don't suppose you want to wipe off the 1st amendment and change all that?
You call Jizedi's statement an atrocity! A statement isn't an atrocity and speech kills no-one.
Hairysteed 3 years ago
Freedom of speech doesn't mean you can say anything and get away with it. Take bomb threats and slander for example. When your speech threatens or infringes the basic rights of others, it crosses the line. And you fail to miss the entire sentiment of my response to Jizedi--who said 1. he could care less that our troops are dying, and 2. he wishes Petraeus were dead. That's the attitude of a traitor, not someone who wants to address the problems and fix things. Sounds like he's Al-Qaeda.
XarisGuitars 3 years ago
Bomb threats and shouting "fire" in a crowded building as well as slander (intentionally telling things about someone that aren't true e.g. "Obama is a muslim and a terrorist") I can understand, as these DO infringe the rights and safety of others, but how the hell does saying "I wish our troops die" fit there? It's not like saying it will make it happen - right?
It might irritate and offend people who think otherwise, but do you really think people have the right not to be offended?
Hairysteed 3 years ago
Let me put it to you this way, if you're NOT offended by Jizedi's comments, you have some big problems. I can't believe you want to sit here arguing about whether he's "allowed" to say what he said rather than, as a human being, recognize with me the disgusting, sub-human nature of his remarks. I'm getting the feeling that you either share his sentiments or you just like to argue.
XarisGuitars 3 years ago
Jizedi have the right to say that if he wish the soldiers to die. He got Freedom of Speech, there no treason in that. But if he ever say that to a soldier, well if a soldier feel like it during off duty. Jizedi might get a beating depending on the soldier mood. Jizedi, I dunno who you are. But soldiers have job.A job that they do not like. A lot soldiers rather chill and relax than going out there getting themselve shot at. But someone gotta do it.

Petraeus has made a good point to not favor one side politically over the other. The Republicans supported the surge in 2007 and that turned out for the good of the Iraq, and though he never called it a success, it was about as successful as anyone could have hoped for. Now he's basically saying that he supports the position that Obama supports in the upcoming election, well good for him. That just proves that Petraeus isn't supporting one party over the other like he was accused of back in '07

LOL, Patraeus said he believes that things must be "set up" Ie preconditions. And only those that were ready and reconcilable were talked to. For instance AQ was NOT talked to. Obama in no way won this talking point.
5uper5tring 3 years ago
Incorrect, he said that they sat down with those shooting them, and identified who was and was not reconcilable. It is impossible to identify if someone is persuadable, if you never speak to them. The set-up component merely identifies that there is an organized process to it, including objectives -- which might not include requirements on their parts, aka without precondition. This supports Obama's position.
Shadowlight44 3 years ago 2
So your saying Patraeus supports talking to Al Queda? Haha, quit equivocating. Often "talking" is used by a inferior military to bide time or gain legitimacy which is quite counterproductive. Iran is trying to stall for time to proliferate like Hiltler used 'talking' to solidify his power before launching an aggressive military campaign.

War should be a last resort.
You should, of course, sit down & talk first, even with your enemies.
Almost all former Secretaries of State believe that.
And we have indications Saddam wanted to talk with Bush to see what else he could do to satisfy him (he was already allowing inspectors to look for WMDs anywhere they wanted -- even tearing up his palaces).
