@MrLittletomdj actually, Obama removed all combative troops last year and the remaining troops are on schedule to be coming home by 2014. Did you think we could just uproot and leave the country over night?
@bluestems I wrote that comment 3 months ago & it's been 3 years since he got into office. How is that over night? Since 2008 you've stationed troops in Iraq, Pakistan, Uganda, Nigeria, Libya, Yemen & Somalia, I'm sure they'll be wrapping their hands tightly round Iran's nuts soon too. He PROMISED 16 months. 38,000 U.S. troops are still in Iraq, & 68,000 in Afgahnistan.
Removed all "combative" troops? Coming home in 2014? Paleeease, who are you kidding? They'll be there forever!
@MrLittletomdj perhaps this article will help explain the withdrawal efforts... just remove spaces. ht tp : // uk .reuters. c om/article/2011/11/25/us -iraq -withdrawal -idU KTRE7 AN0MI201 11125
@MrLittletomdj "The United States ended its combat mission in Iraq in August 2010, drawing down its troop commitment to 50,000 from a high of 144,000 when Obama took office. At one point, there were 170,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. Today, there are 13,000." Also, the complete withdrawal is schedule for 2012, not 2014. the link to the article I posted explains why it's taken about a year to disassemble and move the 500 bases that were built and enlarged for over 8 years.
Candidates will say pretty much anything to please their audience before the election; slogans like "Change," "Hope," and so on. Once they assume office, Congress (or big businesses, if you like) takes over from there, and the president becomes no more than a spokesman.
Well thats not exactly true. First of all, if you think that is a good reason to vote for a republican 2012, think again. Second of all, troops went down from around 160000 to 41000, and there is a current exit strategy. And no, I dont think he is a disaster in foregin politics. He has that "ask questions first, then fire" approach, which i like, and not the other way around. Not to mention that other countries like him. You didnt have that luxury 4 years ago.
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.
@BlackRepublican2010 The UN has control in Libya now, not the USA, get your facts straight. Libya is not going to be an 8 year war, itll be a short war, I myself am agaisnt it but comparing to the war on Iraq is ridiculous.
The invasion of Iraq was arguably the most justified case of military action the U.S. has ever taken. Because it's VERY COMPLEX, the TRUTH has been sabotaged, but not by the Bush Administration or America's allies!
@adelrio6527 But people like to lie and say that he supported the war, how dare you use irrefutable proof like dates, and held elected offices....just watch Fox, they will tell you what you want to hear.

I don't know about you, but I believe no one should have to suffer for the sake of wealthy men who only want more. I am utterly disgusted by this war.
ppl here never want to listen. they want to argue. i guess they have all the time on their hands. The bush admin. knew there weren't any wmd in iraq after the execution of saddam.
dylan that nigger who is half white did the right damn thing. there was no need for that war since we had already killed the leader of that country. it was more like a bs war becuz there werent any weapons there. it is all bullcrap. thought u would know but i know that youtube also attracts dumb commentators.
The question is, how the heck did Obama know there werent WMD? Why did Bill CLinton, gore, kerry, etc all believe it without question? What evidence were they getting? Bush did not lie any more than those democrats did, so who the heck did and why?
bullshit that nigger isnt against iraq hes with it hes musselam he just pulled 30.000 troops out of iraq last year and guess what he shipped them right back out were fighting a war that we shouldnt be fighting come on people open your damn eyes for once hes not with no one he is even against the usa i mean a president shouldnt be bowing down to no one from other countrys he doesnt even respect usa soil he wont even put his hand over his heart during the pledge of alligence

war without the authorization of congress is treason, execute everyone that had a hand in setting it up, that includes investigations on all companies that profit from this war
Would the war mongering conservatives still have supported the war if Bush had proposed raising taxes to pay for it? If Bush had said, "We need to go to war with Iraq, but we'll need to raise taxes to pay for it," would Republicans have supported it then???? I think we all know the answer.
Irish Neutrality indefinately. No to helping anyone in War. Ireland doesn't war, Ireland isn't a war nation, and never will be. At least so long as the reasonable are in power.
Trade and talk, and try and be friends with nations.
All nations have some crimes to answer too, but America certainly does in so many ways. Your injustice to foreign countries, and then your attacked, and then ask why?
Ok you ignorant idiot, go live in Afghanistan or any other mid-east country for a year and see how your spoiled American ass does. We do business with mid-east countries it does not matter if some nut job radicals do not like it.
Would you be sticking up for radical Christians from the US if they were bombing mid-eastern civilians because they did not like them doing business with America????!
When did we piss on the taliban? tell me what you think justifies (in their minds) killing 3000 innocent civilians? look at how they treat others in general and i think it has more to do with the fact that they are psychotic radical Muslims more then anything else.
America pissed all over the region, saudi arabia. Is the place where your attacks came from. If your government had not funded the saudi royal family, which treats its population like crap. Those hardline radical nationalists may never of destroyed those buildings. Now you know this, but its too late for the people in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the dead of 9/11.
1. Saudi Arabia does business with the US just because some nut jobs do not like the fact we do businesses on their "sacred ground" does not give them the right to target innocent civilians.
2. Some of the Hijacker were FROM Saudi Arabia but they were trained in Afghanistan by Al-quada and were given support by the reigning government the Taliban.
3. the US is a sovereign nation, and we nor Saudi Arabia are required to bow down to nut jobs who don't like us doing business.
Mr Arrogant American, anyone who dislikes can't kill you, though you can kill anyone you want and not say sorry. Just like Clinton ordered the missile to be fired 10 years ago in Afghanistan, or Iraq. An Asperin factory.
The country who will bring us all to justice. The United states of America.
When will the US stop using Ireland's shannon airport.
Mr. Smug Elitist, there is a big difference between targeting civilians, and responding to an attack and accidentally killing civilians, we make great strides NOT to have those kinds of casualties but it happens. If you are trying to compare the US to Radical Islam then YOU have some issues.
What is wrong with you? if you are from Ireland then you know nothing about US and Ireland's partnership, our ties have Increased within the past decade, besides regular dialogue on political and economic issues, the U.S. and Irish governments have official exchanges in areas such as medical research and education.
In 2007, trade between Ireland and the United States was worth around $39.4 billion. Get over it, we have strong ancestral ties with your country and were allies, sorry mate.
lol wow, yea never mind the fact that if the US economy goes down like you want it to for some strange reason, the whole world will be negatively effected. I guess in your world there are no people out there to destroy the fabric of society, like radical Islam who are in Europe right now trying to get there sharia laws to pass, and it is starting to work! Wake Up, the Irish used to stand up to oppressions of freedom, and you want to Bend Over.
What empire side of it?? what are you talking about specifically? Some Europeans and some left wing Americans tend to exaggerate the nations flaws, failing to place them in historical or worldwide contexts.
We are not controlling those countries we are there mostly for a support role and the countries could kick us out if they did not want us there. I am not saying that we could not pull out of some of them, i am sure we could and it might be better for the US. But this has nothing to do with some sort of occupation or control which you are asserting by using the word Empire.
Oh you clueless about China to even compare, they keep 30 dogs in tight cages for animal meat and beat them and hang them till they die. They have ZERO emission polices and the major cites are so polluted you can smell it and can't see the sun unless there is a wind. They kill endangered species, they make people abort their children if its a girl, they have brown coats who spy on citizens. You ignorant asshole trying to even compare us to them. Read a history book instead of stupid movies on YT
@JLaw012 Yes i agree with u that the chinese government is corrupt as fuck and i agree they care less about their people too. But america being the leader would a dam disaster too
"You have central commands around the world, influencing, not controlling directly governments"
Of course we have influence, countries who do business with us make lots of money from us and our citizens and our trading, that is NOT the definition of an Empire and there is nothing wrong with it.
Your an idiot, watch the blood and oil film here on youtube for free, and then get back here and talk. Your just living in another world, there will always be those who deny. How sad.
its a movie, Fahrenheit 911 was supposed to be a documentary and was proven to have over 62 falsehoods in the movie. So what, you called America and Empire and you all you can say is "watch a movie" get real.
@ocean3da LOL u dumidiot u think 9/11 was caused bythe people of iraq and afghan? Obama and bush are the real terrorist. They set that shit all up. The fuked up american government used media to cover themselves up.
chenster, the people were trained and were given harbor in Afghanistan with the support of their government run by the Taliban, who were worse to their people then the Nazi's. Regardless of what you think of the invasion the people are better off without living in a brutally repressive society.
@JLaw012 That can be the case and i know people in afghan lives in such a harsh society. But America is not there for that. They are there for their land, control and MAINLY oil. what was the real reason to go in war? for osama? to control the talibans? no it was americas greed.
Hey dumbass, there is not enough Oil fields in Afgainistan to invade them for, even iraq who has more would take 20 years of taking ALL of their oil to break even with the amount we have spent there. Despite the objectives the fact remains that they are both better off now then before. if you do the math OIL cannot be a factor as we neither of the countries produce enough.
My question is what the final outcome of the war is going to be and how much we are willing to sacrifice to achieve it. What is the timetable, benchmarks, etc.?
Vietnam was a counter-insurgancy war like the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I supported the Vietnam War just like I now support the Iraq and Afghan War, but I question the strategy and what the final outcome will be.
what the hell man i just let u be friends on you tube but this is not nam iv been to afghanistan for 1 tour of duty its not as bad as every one thinks and the surge worked in iraq so why not afghanistan
25 troops died during the month of may.... more than 3000 babies died yesterday in the land of the free... americans need to get their priorities straight
Masterful and right on the money. bush and his gang of oil thieves, cheney-halliburton and rice-chevron, need to be tried and sentenced for their War Crimes. America needs to regain its moral high ground and integrity, and it starts with prosecuting bush and his cabal of murderous thugs. GObama!
So, Obama, how is that "getting us out of Iraq" going? Your party has a solid majority in both Houses, so why don't you just bring our troops home now? Why are you implementing the same policy in Afghanistan that you denounced McCain for supporting in Iraq? Why are all of your supporters who were so angry about the War a few months ago now silent? That's right, because you are slave to the Israel lobby just like Bush. "Change we can believe in"? LOL
you can't just suddenly have every single troop transported back to America in a week because then we are open for attack... They are moving as much as they can out of the wars without causing too much of a scene because if they did move them all out at once, we will not only look weak and defenseless but we will also be creating a first...
I just learned last week that it took 2 years for WW2 vets to all return. Obama just became president 2009.
... and since the war is still going on 3 years is amazing and will be a challenge already... don't expect a dramatic return like you see in movies, because that's one boat... not 500
Now there is terror grups in iraq, Bush and UK and those other contries destroyed iraq over 1millon people died, Now its 100% worse then before alqaida and other terror grups is in iraq now. And now everyone want to be the leader in iraq, There is no laws in iraq now, IT WILL TAKE OVER 20 YEARS TO REBUILD IRAQ!
Saddam hussein is "was" a good guy may god bless his sole, Saddam was a hero, And you guys are talking like the iraq war was nothing, "they will send the troops to afghanistan, alqaida isn't in iraq, Duh....iraq was amazing before
Patriots would rather slit their wrists than critcise America, when in reality, America has DESTROYED Iraq, once a normal country
And the O'Reillys and the Hannitys justify the invasion by saying things such as "Saddam was an evil man and a dangerous leader, there was no such thing as peace before we invaded them"
Saddam may have been a bad guy, but he's nothing compared to the politicians in Anmerica, at least Saddam was hunting for terrorists in his own country
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Take off your rose colored glasses Saddam was not a sweet man fighting terrorism in his own country. He killed his own sons for disagreeing with his tyrant policies. The people rejoiced when he was gone. We have NOT destroyed Iraq, we have help to give them Democracy. A friend of mine served as a gaurd during the elections, an elderly Iraq women approached him after she voted & took his hand & kissed it she told him "Thank you for giving me a voice."
No kidding, we tell the stories of all he fallen empires for a reason, Rome, France, etc, we are in the same position and heading in the same direction.
so because he's killing his own people america had to intervien? sorry, if the iraqi people had a problem with sadaam, they should of done something about it themselves,
no... hes sending 170,000 tropps home... and sending about 100,000 in alfganastan were they shold of been all along... the terriost were in alfgansatn not iraq... read a book
Hey obama what was that about you wanting us to bring our soilders back i didn't know that meant sending 17000 additional soilders to the mideast and even sending our men to mexico i mean come on i thought you were oppose to war.
Chemical weapon(illegal White Phosphorus) make by US and used by Israel doing war crime. This is how power talks and how US and Israel dominated the whole world and exercise Chemical weapon in Gaza like the new Hitler of world named US + Israel Govt. Only way to defend humanity is to weaken US and Israeli economy. In future prison like Gaza will be Open. The real truth is nobody care about Gaza Genocide in US.
"For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag." - Zell Miller (D) Georgia 2004
Obama said that the first thing he was going to do if he was elected was to end the Iraq war....what happened? Cutting taxes? What happened to that? He is a liar and a fraud
Actually he didn't. He promised to the end the war in Iraq. PERIOD. He said that his withdrawal strategy was going to take about 8 or more months. Have you ever tried to get several thousand troops out of an area in less than a year? Not that easy.
Well, as long as he get all the terrorists out of Iraq, I'm completely for him taking troops out of Iraq, but remember, America always, always, leaves a few troops behind on some kind of a base or something. We still have people in Korea. We still have people in Vietnam. We still troops all over the world, not because we are taking over people, but because we want to protect people.
you've got to remember, though, Iraq was not responsible for 9/11, so the terrorists in Iraq had nothing to do with any real attacks on the US. Only after we invaded their country did they get angry and begin attacking soldiers.
Ok first. Even if WMD's were the main reason it's still a valid one. The car bombs are from the terrorists buddy that we are trying to stop. We can't give them the time to plan attacks against the U.S.! Second, I know Iraq wasn't responsible for 9/11. But there are still terrorists there now that need to be stopped.
When did i say that? No. Just that's not the reason we went in. We went in because of Sadam Hussein, and WMD's. Also, as long as we're sure that the terrorists that want to bomb America, that are in Iraq, are gone, then we should leave.
My point is simply that there will always be people who want to be bombing America. Also I don't think America wants to protect people like you suggest, america just has interests like everyone else..
hey dipshit, he said his first thing he would do back in 07' on the campaign trail that he would get all troops out of iraq if we we're still in there and that we could put money in the bank on that
hey fuckface, don't tell me you seriously were expecting him to get several thousand troops out of a dangerous area in anything less than 8 or more months. These things take time, and he hasn't been in office long enough yet to do some of the things he promised.
Ron Paul helped to bring babies into this world and now Obama helping to take them out.

Would the war mongering conservatives still have supported the war if Bush had proposed raising taxes to pay for it? If Bush had said, "We need to go to war with Iraq, but we'll need to raise taxes to pay for it," would Republicans have supported it then???? I think we all know the answer.

1. Saudi Arabia does business with the US just because some nut jobs do not like the fact we do businesses on their "sacred ground" does not give them the right to target innocent civilians.
2. Some of the Hijacker were FROM Saudi Arabia but they were trained in Afghanistan by Al-quada and were given support by the reigning government the Taliban.

Hey dumbass, there is not enough Oil fields in Afgainistan to invade them for, even iraq who has more would take 20 years of taking ALL of their oil to break even with the amount we have spent there.

Ok first. Even if WMD's were the main reason it's still a valid one. The car bombs are from the terrorists buddy that we are trying to stop.
