  • RON PAUL 2012

  • Yes indeedy!!!

  • The dude in the video just sounds like he's blabbering. He didn't make sense.

  • As a military wife I know that even if Obama wanted them home it couldn't happen. There's too much work to do. As much as anyone wants it then it's not going to happen.

  • GODDAMN OBAMA!MAY THE DEVIL ROAST HIM IN HELL WITH STALIN AND HITLER! 1 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE DIED NOW AND HE ---LIES-- SAYING IT'S A WITHDRAWAL,HE JUST GOING BACK TO THE PRESURGE LEVEL

  • Did Obama Lie About Afghanistan Troop Withdrawal? HELL YES! US Troops have at least 30 years.

  • WHAT TROOP REMOVAL? HE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT SURGING AFGHANISTAN.

  • with afghanistan 70 billion annual drug trade that obama and the u.s. help regulate it is only in his corrupt interest to use rhetoric and lie about troop withdrawal. afganistan has an illiterate, impovereshed, drug addicted society far worse than mexico and we cant even manage that drug war next to our own border. we are there only to capitalyze. forget about the taliban. they are no threat to us. there members join in order to have a meal and not starve. obama will continue to lie for profit

  • only sheep need leaders.

  • fuck obama

    ralph nader 2012

  • I am very disappointed in this president. He has proven to be "Republican Lite." I almost wonder if from the beginning he was only telling the masses what they wanted to hear to get elected and had no intention of doing the peoples' will. When did our elected officials in general become so corrupt? How much will we tolerate from those who don't have the best interest **of the many** at heart? I hope a challenger emerges for Obama, as long as they aren't GOP or bagger.

  • their thirst will never go away until they finish the world's blood

  • so yeah basically the reason this country is the way it is is because of the Media... they have truly fucked us in the ass and spread their bias bullshit lies all over the tube and airwaves.... basically....

  • Obama = epic phail

  • "how about you do what you said you were going to do for the people who voted for you" Amen..

  • I don't want to be "that guy"...but could Alex Jone's "Obama Deception" be completely true. Everyone in the government is screwing us and they know it. They repeatedly lie and play it off....there HAS to be an alterior motive. Crash the system again and again and gain all the power? New World Order....? Anyone?

  • CARomero31 Why are you all over the comments section?

  • we always stay behind and try to make that nation productive we have drill sargents training iraqi soldiers right now so it will probably be a much lower amount of casualties having to do with u.s soldiers

  • Why does this reporter resemble saddam hussein?

  • Because you only see him like that, and since your busy being told everything instead of finding out the truth, so you quote others instead of researching and finding out or using your mind, that's why he resembles Saddam Hussein to you. Plus why are you even going back to Saddam, young thinkers like you must learn that when you wish for someone to die, you only contribute and are no less than Bush and any other killer, Obama being the next because if you think, their will be lives lost in Afgha

  • @CARomero31

    Would you be happy if we had another terrorist attack? Obama can't just abruptly end the war without accomplishing the defeat of Al-Qaeda. The war is wrong yes but Afgan is where we retaliate, NOT IRAQ. I disagree with the "reporter" on this video. I think the President will withdraw the troops. Withdrawal should be in Iraq first.

  • Um, depends on what specific Terrorists we are talking about. Like COMMUNISTS. Remember this....maybe in Obama's term or the next President's term, the U.S. will get in Africa and do the same as Afghanistan. We will be charged with carbon tax, for breathing. Global warming is lied to be our fault, but the sun is shining brighter, and that's a fact. Hilary would have been the best option, Obama is a commercialized fake. Mccain is Bush reflection. But so is Obama, only Obama is a good actory

  • Look at the poles, people for Obama are now against his decision making. By the time everyone wants to kick him out, it would be too late because the security is being enforced, so keep a gun with you and don't show it, just hide it. Because we will see that New World Order thanks to non-Freethinkers that think Obama is like Jesus

  • Yeah he has low numbers in the poles. So has every president his first year. You were the one that thought Obama was like Jesus.

  • @Donnymac What? I never said I thought he was like Jesus, wait do you know your history. Their is no real historical evidence that Jesus was ever real, only in biblical texts. And theirs more than one Jesus, like Horus, and around 30 more from other cultures. Research before you listen to what everyone tells you

  • @CARomero31 You're 17. You don't know much. I have to understand that. You are either athiest or jehovah witness.

  • In every war that the USA has been involved in a permanent military presence is always left behind. Besides Vietnam the US has bases from Cuba to Japan, from the Philippines to Germany. Leave Afghanistan...? Prolly not gonna happen.

  • I know, Obama is just as bad as the President before him. It's like starting the war all over again but the Osama search is still going on, come on shouldn't he get over that. Our government is being overrun by Private Bankers, since 19..um I think 1914, when the Federal Reserve bank had rights to our money. They are a private bank, not a government back, they funded the Vietnam war. JFK wanted to bring troops back so they said "He had to go" so sending 4 killers meant "go" (I got proof)

  • ...in the future, americans may want to refrain from taking political insight from the likes of P Diddy, Ashton Kutcher, and the mildly retarded cast of "the view" before the election

  • Yea if Obama keeps this up ill vote him out. He needs to grow a pair and start doing what the people who voted for him wanted him to do or we shouldnt vote for him again.

  • So who are you going to vote for in 2012? Sarah Palin?

  • Good point. I voted for Bush in 2004 because I didnt see John Kerry come out with balls against gay marriage. So if I still see the lack of balls on Obama and if he keeps trying to please the Republicans so much he basically does what they want, then i just might out of spite.

  • Do you REALLY think that by voting for Bush you made a statement FOR gay marriage? Or would you think that just MAYBE that empowered the Christian Right?

  • No i made a statement AGAINST gay marriage. Im democrat and all but i dont like the gay marriage. No problem with legal unions and such but the word marriage should be man and woman.

  • Gay marriage is backed up by Christianity, the cross is gay. If you know the meaning of the cross, the top part is a childs private part, the bottom part is an adult males private part and the sides are the fallopium tube for women, But in Kemetic religion (egyptian religion) its an oval at the top, so instead of a child its women's womb. So this is why preachers think its ok to violate children and promote gay marriage

  • I am against religion but pro believer in God, Heaven, Angels. Not Jesus, religion is a mind loser to keep society from thinking about trying to stop corruptness in the world with force, its three control powers that made me come to my conclusion of all bad things. First is Government (to control), then is Business (to blind with materials), and last is Religion (to enslave and weaken mind from thinking on it's own). Depends on which religion.(im against god based religions that cause war)PEACE!

  • I think McCain, Palin, and Obama are all funded by the private bankers/Globalists/Illuminati(­but illuminati is a religion, people dont know that). Illuminati is a religion trying to take Christianity out, Private bankers are overruning our govt. and they fund wars, fake recessions, and make believe Global warming is our fault, but its really the sun is shining brighter, scientists in Germany and Switzerland confirm, they are gonna soon charge us for breathing, Carbon Tax (look it up)

  • Calm down everyone. Telling the Afghans we're leaving in 2011 is demoralizing. They need someone to trust, and it's got to be us.

  • das beste wäre heute oder überhaupt wenn ich jemand netten zum chattn finden würde!

  • I don't care if you think Obama is lying about Afghanistan. I know that he believes what I believe about Afghanistan, and that's all that's important.

  • hey, cenk

    obama is part of the big scam, man!

    nothing personal...just business rather!!!

  • Want answers? Follow the money.........

  • Exactly....

  • Cenk is completely misinterpreting their comments... Come on now Cenk.

  • Oh Obama, i hope you change this plan. Many people believed that this will end when they voted for you, i hope you have a good reason why you want to sent troops.

  • You cant trust a polition mate:) the only way to change will be to create a new system

  • ur like a horse wearing those eye blinders...wake up man!!!!

  • @ whitenightf3 and @MalcomAP...All presidents are puppets if u wanna go that route. They dont just make decisions on their own. Jess Ventura? really...

  • lets be realistic here, bin laden is probably dead, and there is no hard evidence to suggest he was directly invovled in 9/11, the whole story and situation is a bit dodgy and very sceptical. its all a smoke-screen to divert our attentions. i feel sorry for obama having inherited this mess.

  • I don't believe we should have a withdrawel date, but a withdrawal when we succeed on what we hope to accomplish there. Do we know what that is yet? Are we still after Bin Laden? I thought he's hiding in Pakistan now...?

  • how can u leave afghanistan? anyone plz tell me? and when the taliban takes over and al Qaida is back they somehow will try to attack no matter have amrica try to prevent it.

    afghanistan needs a fix.

  • @sportsafrica

    You simply let them fight a civil war. If the talibans win, you level Kabul with B-52s.

  • Obama needs to join Steel as another GOP house N.

  • People need to wak up and see that Obama is nothing more than a puppet.

    Jess Ventura for President he tells it like it really is.

  • obama is a puppet and and were sheep as soon as under stand this the faster we can change something hopefully.

  • No it's too late man. The Globalists have a back up plan, because they always have a plan B. The back up plan is install more jails in the U.S. and enforce security (with the lie of Terrorists). For example: remember that 20 year old terrorist recently on that plane, see how they immediately (without hesitation) installed the new systems. They are gonna then lie with another solution (thats fake). A WORLD BANK, which will charge the world carbon tax (lie of Global warming is our fault), FUCK!!!!

  • Don't give up hope! We still can change this!We the people are the power! As long as we have hope there is way!And don't forget this because we still have time and we still can change this!

  • Yea, we can't give up hope. But if we want to change things, it should be now. If only we can unite and more and more free people, civilians, innocents, etc. Together we can dominate the world powers from bringing more war into our world

  • We can be responsible, but they aren't responsible for their actions. But instead of complaining and blaming others or them. Let's fix it together because we are just as important as leaders from our past, who started out with a mere thought of changing the world (maybe not the world but racism or society) and it grew into a dream and then grew into a movement

  • @pieman173 An independent candidate will never get enough votes to get into office unless they receive the same corporate sponsorship as the democrats and republicans and will therefore be just as corrupt when all is said and done.

  • @whitenightf3 right obama keeps lying and saying he is pulling out and it doesnt happen he is a stooge of zionism

  • This is sad...all you people who are out there defending Barack to the core better begin to wake up

  • We are staying until it's fixed, my Grandchildren will finish off this war. I'm 20 BTW, got a while to go till Grand Children.

  • If you had a kid know and then she had a kid when she was 16 you could be a grandpa at 36 O_o.

  • I did the math, the war has been going on for 8 years now. If I had a kid I could have one within a year so that's 9 years. That kid could say be as young as 14 and have another kid. That makes it 23 years. Then this kid will have to turn 18 to serve which puts it at 41 years of war. I would be 53

  • Hell now a days you could be a grandfather by the time ur kid hits 12.

  • Where was April Ryan on this issue?

  • The only thing is strongly dislike is the lying (slash kidding)...

  • I don t agree with Cenk's stance on Afghanistan. We should send more troops and stay there until things become stable enough for us to leave, despite Karzai. The initial withdrawal date seems too soon, but that is only the initial date, as Cenk says. Still, Obama promised to stay the course, and he s doing that now. The question to pose now to Obama on Afgh is whether troops above 30K will be sent before Jul 2011, or if this latest addition will be the last. Nobody has asked this yet.

  • It's very frustrating that these wars continue. Wasn't the Fort Hood shooting evidence enough that fighting them over there doesn't make us any safer?

  • I like TYT but Cenk sounds so naive sometimes. Did he seriously expect Obama to leave Afghanistan?

  • Cenk -vote Mike Gravel or Kuchinich!

  • More of the same no matter who sits in the big chair in the big white house with the big view.

  • Screw the RepugniiKKKlans.

    Don't want to be weak.  So it's best to be wrong.

  • Obama is Bush with a Human Face, Bush Lite in other words.

  • I use to hate TYT but I can't remember why.

    I think it might have been the hatin' on my man Ron Paul.

    But, anywho, I love the videos coming out from this channel lately.

    Good stuff! Keep it up.

  • Noone should hate on Ron Paul. Disagree with him on everything yeah, but the man is the most honest and intelligent man in American politics. He is the sort of REAL conservative you could have a discussion with, passionately disagree with, and yet remain polite and even friendly.

    If the republicans had him as the representative 2012 Obama might have a problem.

  • @morganbath If the world could vote for USA president. Ron Paul wins. My vote from Brazil!!

  • You vote for the guy you ridiculed and slandered: Ron Paul.

  • Yes he did, I remember that so clearly, I was hating him big time.....

    Now, it's time for him to "eat shit"....apparently, he'd like to forget how much he was kissing Barry's ass!!

  • Obama is doing exactly what Bush should have done in 2001 and 2002, instead of invading Iraq, where we should have never gone into. Obama never claimed that he was against doing what needs to be done in Afghanistan, so I don't see how he "lied". This all comes down to Obama having to clean up after Bush's fuck-ups, as always. If Bush had acted intelligently in Afghanistan 7 years ago, keeping the pressure on the Taliban fighters that remained and on Al-Qaeda, maybe things would be different now.

  • Fuckin obama lyin peace of shit

    never trust politicians

  • Obama lying ??? no way , presidents never lie .

  • Comment removed

  • I'd watch TYT more if the vids started when Cenk stopped talking.

  • If Obama thinks the Afghan troop escalation is going to win him points from the right on Health Care he's wrong. Why is it that how Health Care gets paid for needs to be explicit but a war tax is not needed? What is the US and NATO going to do there that the Soviets couldn't do? Big mistake on escalating in Afghanistan........

  • Obama is an incompetent douchebag

  • Idiot!

  • Cenk:

    Also, you dumb fucker, Obama has been suggesting a troop surge in Afghanistan basically since he announced his candidacy. This has nothing to do with appeasing Republicans.

    You are a bona fide shithead.

  • damn.... im getting shipped off to afhganistain soon..... i was really excited abotu the whole withdrawl thing... how can they just lie like that?.... its so un-just...

  • Join "Oath Keepers" and support Dr. Ron Paul in 2012 and things will definitely change!

  • rofl why you join army then lolololol. gl

  • He said "begin" withdraw in '11. All he has to do is pull out a few troops and it's "begun". No, not lying, but not really straight up honest either.

  • presidents come and go but america will always be the same

  • the troops need to leave, the afgahns dont want them in their country

  • obama is just a puppet playin ball with shadows within our so called goverment

  • The constitution doesn't grant the right to commit hate crimes. However, it does grant the right to publicize and broadcast hatred. That's how CNN(certainly not news), PBS(People's Broadcast of Socialism) and NPR(nazi public radio) keep from being shut down. It also grants the freedom to be racist(It's ok for obama to be racist) and reverse-racist("electing" a useless tool like obama). In America opposites can coexist. You can't have love without hate, or war without peace.

  • The Traditnal Republicans got us out of Korea and Veitnam please dont confuse these "Republicans" with the moderen day trash theyv became. Most republicans are out of step with traditinal republican values like small goverment,more personal freedoms,not policing the world pretty much minding their business with good trading arrangments and open communication.

  • yea there needs to be a way to differentiate the two. I usually call neo-cons republicans and real republicans conservatives. Because the republican party is fucked up, it's not really conservative anymore.

  • Neo-cons are the true conservatives of today, hands down.... As for what the republican party is... I have no clue...and could care less...

  • I don't see why were bombing rocks in Afghanistan. When we should be bombing Saudi Arabia . But the president is keeping his word.

  • Gezzz...... he said many times in the election that Afghanistan was next, that Iraq was coming to a close.

    He said it time and time again.

    McCain was the "lets stay in Iraq and fight Al-Qaeda here"

    Obama said many times, Iraq is not where the war is and we will go to wherever they go and kill them. Regardless of country.

    Did any of you actually watch the debates at all?

  • when obama ends the war in afganistan it means his ready to invade pakistan so be careful what you wish for.

    the fact that the US military is stuck in iraq and afganistan means they cant invade any more countries which is a better than WW3 with iran and china.

  • Sending 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan sound like a bit LIE to American people xD

  • Hi everyone! The only way to stop the government and global corporations from destroying the middle class in America is to stop paying taxes. The government doesn't have the resources to go after all tax protesters so they're only going after high profile people like Wesley Snipes. Google TAXDEF initiative. Pay your rent, utilities, and food bills and tell the government to go to hell. Don't have your family suffer so that the government can wage wars for corporations.

  • so true... obama's a sellout to his own democrat idiots and is sucking republican anus.... all while saying nothing about the fed

    good one, cenk

  • o Israel has killed Americans (eg. Sailors on USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, etc...)

    o Israel spies on this country (eg. Pollard, Kadish, AIPAC, etc...)

    o Israel bought our politicians with our taxes.

    o Israel steals our taxes, hence their higher income.

    o Israel uses our country as their toilet.

    Want more? Checkout my playlist.

    Please share this post with others, and demand that your Senator and/or Representative uphold the laws when it comes to Israel's heinous crimes. Peace!

  • All I hear is oh we went to Iraq for their OIL. Ok if we went for their oil then why was gas still near 4 dollars a gallon? If we were getting it shouldn't gas have gone down dramatically? It wasn't until Bush said let's drill here drill now that it scared the oil companies and the speculators to stop price gouging

  • Is it just a coincidence that the democratic party is republican light? The system is not capable of reforming, then what kind of progressives are we, who just lap dog on the latest hope-a-dope.

  • Obama = just another New World Order puppet.. Bush, Clinton, Obama.... - whatever

  • So that basically means they have no money to create jobs, feed the poor, and create housing for those who don't have. Its always billions of dollars to destroy other people to say that we are rebuilding there nations. What a bunch of bullshit its about corporate interest opening a market in there countries. Exploit there OIL and control there governments against the will of there own people.

  • Afghanistan is the new Vietnam. While millions of Americans are unemployed and suffering economically, we are flushing billions of dollars, resources and lives down for no purpose.

  • Obama will start to withdraw in 2011. The lie is saying that they wont. You can't show all your cards to the enemy. To set a date and let your enemies know it is a poor tactic, so confusion must prevail to be effective.

  • Was anyone really expecting any real change from Obama?

  • I was. I wish the government would quit with the wars for profit abroad and start educating and supporting the people at home. Look up Bill Hicks' vision.

  • HEY IZURZI u limp dick! So i deserve death for what? that i think we need to kill every motherfucker over their go shove that quron up your ass fuck face. like i said drop the bomb on IRAN, IRAQ, PAKISTAN, INDIA, ISRAEL AND ANY OTHER COUNTRY TAHT GIVES US ANY FUCKIN PROBLEMS! YOU FUCK WITH US WE WILL ERASE YOU FROM EXISTANCE FUCK RELIGION AND FUCK U IZURZI!

  • I don't necessarily agree with you but I do admire your enthusiasm.

  • you know what Obama you freak stuck as much hell

  • I liked Obama until he cancelled A Charle Brown Christmas....totally unforgivable!!!

  • it may hurt him in the polls, but this is what obama campaigned on, to bring the troops out of iraq between 16-18 months, and bring the focus back to afghanistan were the actual threat was. Change is sometimes something people on both sides wont agree on. When Harry truman fired macarthur, that was something both the left and right disaree with him on, yet he's regarded as a great president. People are gonna have to accept this! change does not come quickly or easily

  • jamaicanification: Exactly, Obama said we would withdraw from IRAQ, but has always said he intended to bring more focus to, and yes escalate troops in AFGHANISTAN. He said that all throughout the campaign. If you want to be angry, be angry we're still in Iraq, but I'm not getting the outrage and accusations of lying about Afghanistan.

  • I looked back over some of Obama's quotes regarding Afghanistan during his campaign, and he clearly said he'd support the "good" war in that country.  Liberals, I think, thought he was just trying to appease center-right America. Now everyone just sees that his general policy is appeasement. Not good for someone who campaigned on change.

  • I think I've had enough of the young turks I used to come here to hear a different take on the news but it seems to me that it's now very little in difference and more similarity.

    Cenk you have changed you view almost magically and I suspect that it's a bunch of bullshit when you say that it's because of the afghanistan election. Rather I think it's because it was the popular thing to do. Now you have you gracefully moved into the realm of popularity and threw out your original view.

  • anothers thing is that just because hes making decisions that dont please everyone, people are writing him off. This is the problem with people. When they elect a guy who represents hope and change, they expect some utopic dream to come by their way, and then when reality hits them they start wining and blaming the person they elected. Same thing happened to JFK and FDR. And same thing happend to truman. infact truman was hated for most of his presidency but is now considered a great leader

  • @jamaicanification Nobody expects Utopia. We expect something close to what he pledged to do. And Truman was arguably a war criminal and a poor president. He was not reelected by the way. Iraq and Afghanistan are criminal wars also. Bush and everybody on the higherups needs to be put on trial for these war crimes.

  • And in what way was Truman or Bush war criminals?

  • @TheOffenda

    Truman has been argued a supreme criminal for bombing Japanese cities with nuclear weapons and Bush is obviously one for illegal wars of aggression and torture.

  • Bush didn't begin an illegal way. A president needs the approval of congress in order to declare war. You people seem to forget that.

    Droping the bomb was the only way to get them end it without losing more American lives. The Japanese planned to make the entire island into a fortress. With as much lives as we list in the Pacific can u imagine how many lives it would have cost to invade

  • Shut the hell up no one deserves to die that way even if the u.s would have fell by now it would be worth it if nuclear arms didnt exist

  • It's invention and would have happened anyway. Would you rather that the Germans finished their bomb and destroyed everything? and everyone?

  • im actually not blowing smoke tdrap 19. If you check the gallup poll, the most reliable and scientific poll that most people use, 58% of democrats, 55% republicans and 45 % of independents support this plan. In opposition are 35% democrats, 37% republicans, and 44 % independents. That means overall in the country 51% of people support this plan while 40 % oppose it. Also in a latest CNN poll the people who polled found 62% support this and 36% oppose this,so im no blowing smoke these are facts

  • I'm hoping Ron Paul will win the Republican primary. I'm also hoping the Kucinich will be his vp pick. I imagine that would be the biggest landslide in political history if they teamed up.

  • I doubt it heavily.

  • those two would lose big time... even though I thought the same thing -- that team would actually mean SOME change.

    The elite would never let those two win, and even if they did.. they would probably be assassinated if they started taking control of the nations credit from the FED.

  • They lied? OMG, they never lie. I feel so bad because our leaders are so pure and innocent... what is going on?

    NWO

  • This CENk character is to Obama what Fox's Sean hannity was to bush ...

    in other words a total cock gobbling apologist of their political leader.

  • watch the show some more, he calls him out all the time. Thanks for playing.

  • by the sound of these comments, people are starting to realize that the two party system is a crock of shit. bush = obama. if you look at all of the major issues surrounding the politics of out time, dems and reps. think alike. unfortunately, people are so caught up with the minor issues that they forget we have kids dying and getting maimed all because we can't shake this "two party system" syndrome. they're all crooks and corporatists!!!!!

  • Good shout. Democrat/Republican, on the most part are the same, especially when it comes to Afghanistan, Oil and Israel. Did you know the man who writes George Bush's speeches does the same for Obama, I mean i know that doesn't mean much but that's one reason the rhetoric sounds the same. Not to forget he has some of Bush's old buddies with him in the oval office. Good shout.

  • Cenk please. Obama and the dems OWN the hill; BTW, let's not forget how many war haters were lining their pockets on defense contracts (or their hubbys).

    Clue, there is no difference in either side, they both don't give a ___ about what the people want.

    He's weak, period. NO culture, friend or enemy respects that; And they sure as hell don't respect someone who straddles fences instead of being all in one way or the other.

  • Come on Cenk..stop using the myth that obama somehow just wants bipartisanship u r fooling urself . Wait till on of the parties put up a next guy with a new PR -mashine . They will be all cheering again.Lol i feel like in the movie Groundhog Day .

  • Obama said he was going to intensify the Afghan war & expand the war to Pakistan THE ENTIRE TIME HE WAS RUNNING for president. Our govt. killed it's own citizens to justify this fake war & they've been doing this kinda shit for over 100 yrs. The corporatist want Afghan dope & oil. They have NO interest in keeping YOU safe!

  • I can only hope you're wrong, Dave. But I suspect you might not be--in a completely non-conspiratorial way.

  • What is in Afghanistan???? Just tighten security in the U.S. and end the war.

  • exactly. More people have now died fighting in these wars than the people that died in the attack that supposedly took us there.

  • Obama is not in control.He is told what to say and he says it.That is why Obama.s administration looks so similar to Bush's administration.Truth is our political system is a big lie.

  • Obama lies about everything. It's obvious that he is Bush's illegitimate half brother.

  • I'm calling it... Obama sucks, and not because of all the things republicans say. But because he is SOOOO WEAK.

  • Change we can believe in? CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN?????I wish the military people just got all fed up with all the BS and lies and just came home of their own volition. Every man woman and child on earth wants peace, and the Military Industrial complex is not helping to achieve that end. They only want to propagate war and so do the majority of scumbags and weasels in Congress and The Senate. Besides, the lobbyists have paid every senator and congressman and that's who they work for.

  • The stranglehold that the war corporations have on the American Government will cause the end of US global supremacy. There are no long-term strategic advantages to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, paid for through debts to the Chinese and Arabs. The goal of the operations is to achieve short-term profits for these neo-patriots.

  • Hmmmm i supposed i shouldn't be surprised i wonder who else in the white house told him to lie like this.

    Bull shit liberals.

  • WWII ended in 1945, but we're still in Germany and Japan.

    The Korean War ended in 1953, we NEVER left.

    We aren't leaving Afghanistan unless we're forced to, and the Humanitarian Reasons we're supposedly there, are Bullshit, it's all about RESOURCE CONTROL, and Power / Influence in the Region.

    Just as it's always been. Obama is a Puppet just like Bush was, and he does as he's told.

    No Change.

  • Removing troops from Afghanistan and removing the US from Afghanistan are two different things. But I guess time will show what exactly the point of the policy was.

  • we need to win! I don't care if we need 5 million troops or 5 lets get this done. America has never lost a war and shouldn't start planning on it now. America has literally become a pussified nation thanks in large part to liberalism. Everything is mean, offensive, oppressive, whatev. But as Obama said himself, we were attacked and didn't want this war and its imperative for our own security. So let's kick their ass and bring our boys and girs home.

  • this is sad you cant get on tv so you have a youtube newsbroadcast

  • How is that sad? He reaches a larger audience than a lot of TV anchors?

    The thing with this war...

    What is the goal?  There never has been an achievable goal. We can kill as many terrorists as we want... more will come to replace them. If we want to end terrorism, we need to make their country more livable, make them happier... make them like us... we can't kill them and expect results. One crazy guy is all it takes to blow up a building--you don't need a terrorist network for that.

  • @BlaculasSmellyFro why dont we just make the middle east the 51st state screwm all we are taking over. lol oh and this dude sounds like hehas a lot of the same gripes that conservatives had with Bush. So do you finally get it? There isnt a distinction between the parties.

  • He didn't lie he said its all conditional. It was very clear on what he said.

  • ...he lied yet he got nobel peace price.

  • ok, 30.000 more troops, plus the others that are already fighting, to take 'em out, it would take months for the gov't to give the order, and it would take way more to get all those soldiers, with weapons, tanks, equipment, back home, if he did withdrew forces in 2011, he wouldn't send more troops, and he would've started to withdraw in 2009-2010, it's a long process, a year couldn't even be enough, it's not like putting a soda in the fridge and taking it out.

  • NO SHIT!

  • you mean erring on the side of the neocons. We only have one party in this country: the republicrats. when are you people going to realize that the new boss is the same as the old boss.

  • Yeah, does no one pay attention. Obama's stance was that we were fighting the wrong war in Iraq and that we should focus where the real was wsa Afghanistan. He said he was going to focus there, not withdraw. God, read the news every once and a while.

  • They are both illegal and made up of lies. Obama is amping it up, when most Americans elected him to get out. Iraq is still occupied as much as Bush had, don't give misinfo to sound like this is what he said in the election. The news? You watch the news and this is where you get your info = YIKES.

  • Yes

  • Yes he lies as the was the presents of united states before .. everyone kills innocent people and say we looks for peace !!!
