In this line of work you have to keep repeating yourself to let the propaganda sink in -Bush
All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt it's spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself
-Adolf Hitler
they sound so much alike but republicans wont think so cause bush can do no wrong he is keeping us safe "some times you have to start a war to stop one" what does that mean no child left behind sucks ass
"you have to start a war to stop one" is the biggest lie I have ever heard. War begets war, since the beginning of time, no war has ever been started, and had it somehow stop a future war.
now that they are trying to go over them what ever they do how ever they do they are doing in their own country
or may be US is scared of them having the nucular power then they can protect them selves againest invasionests and they could stop the voilence of Israeli from the region
Iran has oil massively
and surely he is a treat to Israel
but so is Israel to them and palestine syria and so on
but i dont get this that in what facts Americans are voting for him, withen a year or two he himself needs a carrier to carry him around who knows how long he is gona last and once he got elected would he care what is gona happen to him?
he would do any thing possible for his and his parties favour and for sure Dick Chaney n Bush Senior might use him as they are using Bush for their own interest 2 fulfil their acounts
hahaha Sunies and alqaeda alqaeda is sunny but they are mostly wahabi
thes guys dont know what they are talking about
certainly i know who is terrorist
U N I T E D S T A T E O F A M E R I C A
and who launched the awakening group ??
C I A and so they did in pakistan its nothing new america is so good in making new groups but then they stick in their asses and they cant control any more
I don't think many of us understood what you actually said except perhaps that you think the real terrorist is the US, but a quick point -- The Taliban formed after the the Soviet/Afghan war in the early 90's. This was long after the US abandoned Afghanistan. If you want to critize US policy during this time, it's not that we created the Taliban, it's that we didn't help create a democratic alternative. But no worry, we are now.
wel my friend then ur the same as any other americans u lack knowledge \
the truth is that this whole situation that we are going through now it have been started in early 80's and that was when the american CIA with the support of pakistani govt created the taliban to take over afghanistan but the afghan politician of the time was so strict about it and that is why they killed Dr Najib and Ahmad shah Masud the once who really cared for peace and stability of afghanistan i hope u understand me
I understand you, but my understanding is that we supported the Mujahideen, a loose assortment of Islamic fighters. From them, following the war, the Taliban emerged. Our failure was not in creating the Taliban, but in not supporting democracy after the Soviet loss. You're right in criticizing US policy during this time, but our policy now is in full support of democracy and civil society against the Taliban, so maybe you should reconsider your whole 'the US is a terrorist statement.'
Our failure was in creating the Taliban and Bin Laden in order to stave off Russian occupation while, at the same time, attempting to institute American occupation ... for what? Oil! Let's not even get into illegal CIA covert ops or failed US policies surrounding oil that began long before the '80s and continues today.
Technically, according to Bush, America is a terrorist nation since we harbor terrorists like Bosch, Posada Carriles, Remon, Jimenez, et. al.
Bin Laden is a naturally-born human being; the United Stated never "created" him. Again, we never created Taliban; rather, they emerged from Islamic fighters against the Soviet Union, whom we did support. The US made no attempt to occupy Afghanistan in th 80's, especially for oil. We should have supported civil society and democracy there, but we didn't.
US has a always dream to have more basis and control over the world its because of their failure that they never achieve what they want
and about afghanistan Alexander the great tried UK tried 3 times and on second anglo war from 16000 people only one british soldier survived and every body knows how USSr seperated after failing in afghanistan and US knew it all along that they wont success in afganistan if they attack them selve so they feed Pakistan n saudi
Alexander the Great had partial success; his invasion created the Bactrian-Greek kingdom.
The other thing is, we already succeeded where the UK and the USSR failed -- we have successfully invaded and occupied Afghanstan.
I have no idea what you're talking about with feeding Pakistan n saudi. I'm not in favor of feeding them, even if they are really hungry and the meals are cheap.
Except for the fact that the United States is a terrorist nation by our own definition. It is not a statement, it is a fact. We made bin laden who he is today. The taliban is just those same mujahadeen/their children that we trained, funded, armed, they just got more organized after we told them to fuck off, like we do everyone that is no longer of use to us. To this day we are supporting future terrorists, warlords, mass murderers, fascist dictators, etc. All in the name of "american interests"
well said i highly respect and accept ur point of view as a matter of fact its the best fact that we all should know
but hopfully people of the world will soon or latter will realize it and the people of the world including americans them selve live a normal and peacefull life of brotherhood not hatred
and as u might know this year 93 us soldier commit suicide in US it shows the failure policy of the Republicans and their thirst of Crude oil and power over the world
well im glad at least you have the ability of understanding lol jk
so here i agree with you and when i say US is terrorist i dont mean the americans its just the foriegn policy of that country america has some great people that i admire but it always has a corrupt foriegn policy and they hardly ever do follow democracy
democracy is just a word which they use for their own benefit
and UN is just a hollywood show which has been directed and produced by US govt and we all have 2 play n suffer n
Johnraytheon, I don't think it's about giving troops credit. No one is going to deny that soldiers are sacrificing everything for their country, but the point is that McCain is absolutely clueless and is making false claims. That's it...
Lovely to see so many of the troops who support Obama's plan to get out as soon as feasible, because they know that the real solution is up to the Iraqis. Along with, at last count, 42% of registered republicans. I guess those hundreds of thousands of republicans who now are against the continuation of the war are "libs like the Veracifier" too. Bunch of lousy commies. Who knew?
Okay, McCain is wrong when he says that the Anbar Awakening began after the surge, but he is right in implying that the surge helped sustain and build upon the Awakening. While Obama, along with the Democrats, pushed for withdrawal in 2006, arguing that our presence contributes to the conflict; they have since been proved wrong with the addition of 30,000 troops, which have led to a sharp decline in violence.
True as this may be, what all have we accomplished, from our original goals in Iraq? Hunting down Osama? Finding WMDs? Where have we made progress in these areas?
Our original goals in Iraq never included hunting down Osama. Rather, they included disarming Saddam Hussein. This was accomplished; Saddam made it seem like he had WMD, and he constituted the neccessary resources to re-start his WMD program. All Intelligence agencies believed this. This threat is no more. Also, the name of the operation is Operation Iraqi Freedom. Democracy in the Middle East is the main goal, and through the surge Iraq is closer to this goal.
All true. However, the counterpoint to this is two-fold. First, the addition of 30,000 soldiers to any area of the world would have a positive impact. However, one can argue that it was due to the high level of American presence and American-backed mercenaries (Blackwater) that led to Anti-American sentiment and Al Qaeda's rise in the first place. Second, the goal of the war is to reach political reconciliation. The surge was simply a band-aid over a badly broken bone, not the solution.
You would think adding 30,000 troops to Iraq would obviously improve the situation, but Obama and the Democrats argued otherwise. The argument was that our troops exacerbate the conflict -- that all the killing and violence stems from the US presence. This belief was proved wrong. You may be right in associating our presence with Al Qaeda's rise, but the inverse is true now. The Iraqis are now trending toward the US initiated democracy and away from sectarian genocide and terrorism.
Who cares. We should not have been there in the first place. This war was not worth the cost. And since when do we nation build. Conservatives always talk about gov. programs and what they are cutting. Over 1 trillion in this war has surpassed any government program the Dems could have dreamed up.
Iraq could have gone to hell and it would be right on Irans border for them to deal with but we stick our noses in, kill our military, our economy is down the tubes and bin laden still on the loose
We have done nation-building many times including, Germany, Japan, S. Korea, the Balkans, and Afghanistan. In a way you make my point of why we need to be in Iraq for me. You say that "Iraq could have gone to hell and it would be right on Irans border for them to deal with." Do you really think Iraq's falling apart really would be only an Iranian problem? Saddam wasn't going to last forever, and sectarian conflict would have dragged us there anyways. It was only a matter of time.
For 8 years it was not your problem in the 80s. You didn't give a damn. And in reality you wouldn't care today, either. You just defend this policy because it was invented by a Repub. If Clinton had invaded Iraq with such results you would be crucifying him.
Well, Clinton did do something similar in terms of Bosnia and Kosovo. I think he did the right thing and I supported him. During the 80's, I was in elementary school, so I really didn't care about the Iraq-Iran war. I think our policy was wrong then, but today our policy reflects our values of democracy and pluralism.
It's different when it is NATO and not U.S. Led ..Bush approved invasion because of some grudge.
It makes me sick that you dumb fucks would vote for stupid ass people to run a whole entire country.
Bottom line... Bush doesn't know, didn't know what the fuck he is doing and he got to be president because he was a white good ole boy from the south and now that he has fucked up everything he has touched, people are making excuses for him.
The bar is so low it is on the ground. Disgraceful
Hmm . . . where do I start with this one? Well, I see nothing different when NATO is involved; had NATO not been involved should we have just stood by and let Yugoslavia descend into genocide and war -- No, we have the moral authority to act unilaterally, just like Iraq (which technically wasn't unilateral). In 1998 congress passed a resolution to support regime change in Iraq; so, the claim that the 2003 invasion was based solely on a grudge is simply wrong.
(Continued) You can always spot a weak and specious argument when it characterizes those who may disagree with it as being "dumb fucks". I am not dumb, nor a fuck, so wrong again. I'm not a constitutional scholar, but I don't think Bush became president because he is a "white good ole boy", but because he received the most electoral votes. The real bottom line: You may think Bush will be gone this January, but his legacy will stay in terms of our democratic commitments in the Middle East.
Man you are just like McCain... Just not smart at all. When N.A.T.O. is involved it is not the U.S. acting "unilaterally" <---Dumb We didn't get a declaration of war from congress to go into Iraq <--"u fuck" Yes Bush's legacy will be here far after he is gone. He took the only check we had on Iran out b/c he started this "occupation" with every lie he could think of. We don't have trillions just lying around. <--Idiot
So no you're not a "DumbFuck" You are a "DumbFuckingIdiot" just like BUSH
Sorry, you didn't seem to comprehend what I said about NATO, but I'll try to dim it down for you. Just because NATO isn't involved in a foreign interention, it doesn't negate the intervention's legitimacy -- if its justified, than its justified. Congress did give Bush authorization to go to war in 2002; this was done under the War Powers Act. Actually I think we have many checks on Iran -- our occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. I challenge you to find one actual lie with Bush and the war
If it was legitimate then how come one of the 35 articles of impeachment being brought forth to the House includes an illegal act of war against Iraq by President Bush?
Wow brillant argument. I guess when in doubt just say oil. Well, I've never quite understood how oil figured in the war. I guess you think we're stealing the oil, but since the war, oil production has gone down. Maybe we just want to buy the oil, but we couldn't when Saddam was in power. But what truly stopped us from buying it when Saddam was in power -- our unwillingness in dealing with a brutal dictatorship. And is oil the reason for Afghanistan? What economic benefit do we have there?
Oh, please. We're in Afghanistan b/c that's where we should be. We're in Iraq b/c PNAC had been slobbering over that for yrs. How oil figured in the war? Oil production has gone down b/c this war has been fought incompetently. Iraq doesn't want us there. Their people don't want us there. We didn't deal w/Saddam b/c he was a brutal dictator? Who gave him WMDS (not nuclear) Reagan. He was "our" dictator.
No, didn't your read iamnoturbuddyguy's comment? We're in Afghanistan because of a pipline that goes from the Caspian to Afghanistan. Screw retribution for 9/11; it's all about OIL!!!!! -- Yee-Ha!!!! (Insert hick cowboy gun-slinging here)
retribution for 9-11? 9-11 was designed to start the oil war. Watch loose change final cut. Everything you think you about 9-11 was created by propaganda, not by evidence. If you have only 1 minute to spare, google wtc7 (50 stories tall) and watch the third building fall--no airplanes there. It is surreal. It looks just like WTC1&2 falling. It was not mentioned once in the 9-11 Commission report. We were all had, but we are awakening.
Hmmm . . . where do I start??? Well, let's say you are completely right -- 9/11 was an inside job. Imagine the complexity and logisitics to this amazingly secretive operation. You're saying that these people said to themselves, "Maybe, the two towers aren't enough. Let's take down tower 7 with explosives." --- hey, moron, tower 7 fell because the collapse of the other towers weakened its foundation. I can't imagine how paranoid and schizophrenic you must go through your life with.
WE have no economic benefit there, the companies who got all the iraqi oil contracts, HALLIBURTON, get the benefit. The reason we see no change in gas prices, is because it is a global market, basically controlled by OPEC, a cartel. Whenever someone else produces more oil, OPEC decreases their production to keep the price the same. This is why offshore drilling won't work, OPEC will just offset our production, and the price won't change.
Who cares. We should not have been there in the first place. This war was not worth the cost. And since when do we nation build. Conservatives always talk about gov. programs and what they are cutting. Over 1 trillion in this war has surpassed any government program the Dems could have dreamed up.
Iraq could have gone to hell and it would be right on Irans border for them to deal with but we stick our noses in, kill our military, our economy is down the tubes and bin laden still on the loose
I think any decision to withdraw should be based on how well Iraq can sustain itself as a democracy not only what the Iraqi government wants. As it stands now, because of the surge, we probably can start a gradual withdrawal, but we must be deliberate, cautious, and focused on sustaining and building upon democracy in Iraq.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Obama is straight out of the movie `The Candidate' starring Robert Redford. I believe Obama knew he was not ready for prime time and just wanted to get his name out.
Things took off and if elected he will not know what to do in office. He is dangerous to the US and will lead us further down the road to distruction. "What do I do now" That was the line Redford said when he won the election for Senator.
Yeah--- how could Obama POSSIBLY be as "ready for prime time" as foreign policy genius George W. Bush was? Tell me, was HE dangerous to the country?
And who created the "road to distruction" Obama would lead us down in the first place? Are you seriously imagining McCain wouldl take us in a different direction?
As for the all-time classic "what do I do now?" moment, Google "My Pet Goat".
endo, Don't be such a pollyanna, the Dems handed over a half trillion dollar surplus to Cheney and petdog Bush. He blew it in 18 months, He expanded govt more than anyone in modern history, we're now headed for a TEN TRILLION dollar deficit, foreclosures and bankruptcies at all time high, dollar at all time low against Euro, 6 years of war and still can't win or say when, not even looking for Bin Laden, killed 4000 or our own, 1 mil+ innocent Iraqis.
It was congress who decided home loans were not being given to miorities at a high enough rate. Whites in the same situation were being turned down also but of coarse they could not see that. Loans were made to people who could not make the payments for over 10 years. The ecomony turned and now we are all going to pay the price.
Many give credit for the surplus to the Repubs congress fighting Clinton and making him sign things he did not like/\. The Dems were furious at the time.
endo, It's just typical republican whining giving republicans credit for the gigantic surplus Clinton handed over to Bush and was IMMEDIATELY squandered and turned into 9.5 trillion dollar debt.
The enormous, unprecedented fiscal collapse in the US was every bit brought about under an Idiotic Republican President with a Republican Congress rubberstamping every waste.
Republicans are too dishonest to ever accept responsibility even for the most obvious screwups in history.
McSpasmodic dysphonia (or laryngeal dystonia) is a voice disorder caused by involuntary movements of one or more muscles of the larynx or voice box. Individuals who have spasmodic dysphonia may have occasional difficulty saying a word or two or they may experience sufficient difficulty to interfere with communication. Spasmodic dysphonia causes the voice to break or to have a tight, strained or strangled quality. There are three different types of spasmodic dysphonia.
It's all just spitting in the wind. I'm sure the GOP honchos know that McCain-Bush vs. Obama-Whoever is no match at all. McCain is the GOP's sacrificial lamb.
For Obama, a majority believes he's a risky choice for the presidency, Far less than half say the Illinois Democrat shares their background and values; and that they are concerned he's too inexperienced with only 143 days of actual senate work. He has spent most of the time campaigning for himself and his obsession with being president.
Where do you come up with 143 days? He was elected in 2004, it is now 2008. If you want to count days its 1430 days! Maybe you are a leap year counters. And the majority support Obama!
All you Obama and Mccain supporters have no clue. Democrats and Republicans alike are ruining this country. Join the Ron Paul bus now, or suffer the consequence
lol and also the whole war is a lie, how can you go to war against a word (terror) anything can be terror as long as its a threat and i guess if your military carrys a gun thats considered a threat
Same as the "war on drugs". It's so abstract you can justify virtually anything in it's name. Maybe we should send the military after Stephen King? I'm terrified of spiders. They should be declared enemy combatants.
lol for one none of the presidents are good this go around considering they all believe in new world order, and if mccain wins then we'll prolly go to war with iran from what i hear and i really dont want to get drafted in the shit
I'm disturbed by all the editing that takes place in our news. I believe that all news/information sources, including TPMtv, that play parts of interviews should be required to disclose that the information is an edited version and publish links to the entire unedited interviews. Additionally, news organizations that quote individuals should be required to publish links to the entire speeches. Then we can make informed decisions. Give us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
The Republican mindset is truly pathetic. Their worst nightmare is coming true, the US led by a Black Intellectual while they hang onto the withering hopes of keeping an Ignorant White guy in office.
The entire world, Europe, Africa, Middle East are all embracing the sheer intelligence and willingness of Obama to work with other countries rather than be faced with the hatred and disdain of the vacuous Republican mind, or lack thereof.
TPM, this is just an excellent summary to explain the current back and forth about the surge and it's effect mainly as an amplifier and reinforcement of other positive trends and strategies, positive in the short term at least.
these ppl are nt not republicans they are a nu wave willing to lie and cheat...they should have a capitalist party where they can say to hell wit ppl we will do wat we want then @least we can be dun wit de lies
The Republicans you're thinking of started dying off around the time that it became customary to periodically deploy American troops on expiditions that were either neutral or counter to American interests.
That aside, I still like to think of the US as having a One Party With Two Names system.
"surge" is a moniker for a quick thrust of extra troops into Iraq intended to quell the worst disturbances in the most troublesome areas. Temporary success in this limited goal, even if you argue there was some, shouldn't be confused with victory in Iraq. There can be no victory in Iraq if what we've done is create a new generation of radicals who will plague us for another hundred years. GOP, however, likes to pretend that the 'surge is working' & therefore we won/are winning/will win.
Ha, at 5:10 some chick, I think it's a chick, starts messing with her pants behind the general. She's hitching up her britches and playing with her belt or something.
So do I understand that McCain said we did not need the surge? Even though the sheiks were helping us with terrorist info. And Bush acted on this? You want McCain to be in charge if there is a calamity where we need swift decision making? The clown stepped way outside his party and actually threw a monkey wrench into the proper decision making of: (I cant believe I am saying it) George Dubbaya?
I cannot wait for the Debates. Oh, man! I think Obama is putting off the debates so he can let McCain dig himself into a hole and then call him on it when everyone is watching all at once. Obama is one clever ass politician.
John Mcsame, what a liar, and the press just does not call him on it. He and his evil twin Bushy need to just ride off into the sunset together, maybey they can stop by New orleans and see what 3 billion dollars a month could do there. Ass holes, you lied to us and led over 4,000 more brave Americans died, Never again assholes. never again..
typical Republican just looking out for his best interest(s). Our country is suffering badly; yes, history does repeat itself, recycle?; and it's not getting any better. If McCain does win, we will have even more heartache. If Obama wins, we will see somewhat a light and growth but, it's going to take atleast within his 4yrs and if re-elected then we will get that fresh air in our chests.
ahmen, only a real pig would call his wife a c*nt and joke about rape. What a dick, I only hope all those Hillary suporters will realize what they will get if they vote for Mcsame.
It continues to make me angry that the McCain campaign can claim that it is Obama that is getting favorable coverage, when it is their candidate who has gotten the kid glove treatment since he announced.
Thank you the man does not even realize that czecolovakia has been gone for 16 years, that Iraq and pakistan don't border each other and the press makes a joke of it if they mention it at all. Now he is telling lies about the surge and they don't call him on that. I know he is old but stop treating him like he can't take it, can't wait for the debates Obama is going to shred him.
Of course, then Obama will be condemned by the press for not respecting McCain.
Sadly, you can bet that McCain will be treated with kids gloves while Obama will be hit by every rumor or something the Rev. Wright said ten years ago.

Except for the fact that the United States is a terrorist nation by our own definition. It is not a statement, it is a fact. We made bin laden who he is today. The taliban is just those same mujahadeen/their children that we trained, funded, armed, they just got more organized after we told them to fuck off, like we do everyone that is no longer of use to us. To this day we are supporting future terrorists, warlords, mass murderers, fascist dictators, etc. All in the name of "american interests"

Okay, McCain is wrong when he says that the Anbar Awakening began after the surge, but he is right in implying that the surge helped sustain and build upon the Awakening. While Obama, along with the Democrats, pushed for withdrawal in 2006, arguing that our presence contributes to the conflict; they have since been proved wrong with the addition of 30,000 troops, which have led to a sharp decline in violence.
jakjonsun 3 years ago
True as this may be, what all have we accomplished, from our original goals in Iraq? Hunting down Osama? Finding WMDs? Where have we made progress in these areas?
mike50333 3 years ago
Our original goals in Iraq never included hunting down Osama. Rather, they included disarming Saddam Hussein. This was accomplished; Saddam made it seem like he had WMD, and he constituted the neccessary resources to re-start his WMD program. All Intelligence agencies believed this. This threat is no more. Also, the name of the operation is Operation Iraqi Freedom. Democracy in the Middle East is the main goal, and through the surge Iraq is closer to this goal.
jakjonsun 3 years ago
All true. However, the counterpoint to this is two-fold. First, the addition of 30,000 soldiers to any area of the world would have a positive impact. However, one can argue that it was due to the high level of American presence and American-backed mercenaries (Blackwater) that led to Anti-American sentiment and Al Qaeda's rise in the first place. Second, the goal of the war is to reach political reconciliation. The surge was simply a band-aid over a badly broken bone, not the solution.
HungLo6515 3 years ago
You would think adding 30,000 troops to Iraq would obviously improve the situation, but Obama and the Democrats argued otherwise. The argument was that our troops exacerbate the conflict -- that all the killing and violence stems from the US presence. This belief was proved wrong. You may be right in associating our presence with Al Qaeda's rise, but the inverse is true now. The Iraqis are now trending toward the US initiated democracy and away from sectarian genocide and terrorism.
jakjonsun 3 years ago

We have done nation-building many times including, Germany, Japan, S. Korea, the Balkans, and Afghanistan. In a way you make my point of why we need to be in Iraq for me. You say that "Iraq could have gone to hell and it would be right on Irans border for them to deal with." Do you really think Iraq's falling apart really would be only an Iranian problem? Saddam wasn't going to last forever, and sectarian conflict would have dragged us there anyways. It was only a matter of time.

For 8 years it was not your problem in the 80s. You didn't give a damn. And in reality you wouldn't care today, either. You just defend this policy because it was invented by a Repub. If Clinton had invaded Iraq with such results you would be crucifying him.

Well, Clinton did do something similar in terms of Bosnia and Kosovo. I think he did the right thing and I supported him. During the 80's, I was in elementary school, so I really didn't care about the Iraq-Iran war. I think our policy was wrong then, but today our policy reflects our values of democracy and pluralism.

It's different when it is NATO and not U.S. Led ..Bush approved invasion because of some grudge.
It makes me sick that you dumb fucks would vote for stupid ass people to run a whole entire country.
Bottom line... Bush doesn't know, didn't know what the fuck he is doing and he got to be president because he was a white good ole boy from the south and now that he has fucked up everything he has touched, people are making excuses for him.
The bar is so low it is on the ground. Disgraceful
maximusart 3 years ago
Hmm . . . where do I start with this one? Well, I see nothing different when NATO is involved; had NATO not been involved should we have just stood by and let Yugoslavia descend into genocide and war -- No, we have the moral authority to act unilaterally, just like Iraq (which technically wasn't unilateral). In 1998 congress passed a resolution to support regime change in Iraq; so, the claim that the 2003 invasion was based solely on a grudge is simply wrong.
jakjonsun 3 years ago
(Continued) You can always spot a weak and specious argument when it characterizes those who may disagree with it as being "dumb fucks". I am not dumb, nor a fuck, so wrong again. I'm not a constitutional scholar, but I don't think Bush became president because he is a "white good ole boy", but because he received the most electoral votes. The real bottom line: You may think Bush will be gone this January, but his legacy will stay in terms of our democratic commitments in the Middle East.
jakjonsun 3 years ago
Man you are just like McCain... Just not smart at all. When N.A.T.O. is involved it is not the U.S. acting "unilaterally" <---Dumb We didn't get a declaration of war from congress to go into Iraq <--"u fuck" Yes Bush's legacy will be here far after he is gone. He took the only check we had on Iran out b/c he started this "occupation" with every lie he could think of. We don't have trillions just lying around. <--Idiot
So no you're not a "DumbFuck" You are a "DumbFuckingIdiot" just like BUSH
maximusart 3 years ago
Sorry, you didn't seem to comprehend what I said about NATO, but I'll try to dim it down for you. Just because NATO isn't involved in a foreign interention, it doesn't negate the intervention's legitimacy -- if its justified, than its justified. Congress did give Bush authorization to go to war in 2002; this was done under the War Powers Act. Actually I think we have many checks on Iran -- our occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. I challenge you to find one actual lie with Bush and the war

Wow brillant argument. I guess when in doubt just say oil. Well, I've never quite understood how oil figured in the war.

But what truly stopped us from buying it when Saddam was in power -- our unwillingness in dealing with a brutal dictatorship. And is oil the reason for Afghanistan? What economic benefit do we have there?

jakjonsun 3 years ago
WE have no economic benefit there, the companies who got all the iraqi oil contracts, HALLIBURTON, get the benefit. The reason we see no change in gas prices, is because it is a global market, basically controlled by OPEC, a cartel. Whenever someone else produces more oil, OPEC decreases their production to keep the price the same. This is why offshore drilling won't work, OPEC will just offset our production, and the price won't change.

I think any decision to withdraw should be based on how well Iraq can sustain itself as a democracy not only what the Iraqi government wants. As it stands now, because of the surge, we probably can start a gradual withdrawal, but we must be deliberate, cautious, and focused on sustaining and building upon democracy in Iraq.

McSpasmodic dysphonia (or laryngeal dystonia) is a voice disorder caused by involuntary movements of one or more muscles of the larynx or voice box. Individuals who have spasmodic dysphonia may have occasional difficulty saying a word or two or they may experience sufficient difficulty to interfere with communication. Spasmodic dysphonia causes the voice to break or to have a tight, strained or strangled quality. There are three different types of spasmodic dysphonia.

"surge" is a moniker for a quick thrust of extra troops into Iraq intended to quell the worst disturbances in the most troublesome areas. Temporary success in this limited goal, even if you argue there was some, shouldn't be confused with victory in Iraq. There can be no victory in Iraq if what we've done is create a new generation of radicals who will plague us for another hundred years. GOP, however, likes to pretend that the 'surge is working' & therefore we won/are winning/will win.
