[FeignofCordor]

Turkey isn`t a member of the EU

@1976donzi racist

[dwoods828]

WE THE PEOPLE Hereby notice Lt. Col. Alan West...

YOU HAVE BEEN DRAFTED to run for President of the USA 2012...

[freeman8128]

Kemal Ataturk established the modern state of TURKEY - not Israel.

Turkey is NOT a member of the EU - although Turkey has applied for EU membership & some misguided fools -or villains- like David Cameron (British Prime Minister) have backed that application.

[sonjahwkns]

I have watched this video several times, and it beomes clearer that this man is in the wrong position, in government. He should be running for the President of the United States. He has the vision, has the experience, and solutions to whats happening to our country, and how to fix it. Peace comes through STRENGTH, not appeasement and coddeling, as this current regime seems to think. We are setting ourselves to fail if the poser gets re-elected. It will be thew death of us all.

[1integrity]

Lt. Col. Allen West, why are you not leading in impeachment hearings of a dictator obama gone wild now!??? PLEASE START OR THE RULE OF LAW IS GONE!

[YouCruising]

As of today, 5 suicide bombers gave this video a thumbs down!

Allen West is a true Patriot! No teleprompters and no index cards to give an extremely insightful and eloquent speech on foreign policy / national security. America NEED's Mr. West to be "President West!"

[ARGrandma1]

Mr. West, your countrymen and women are calling on you to be our leader. Just as George Washington did not want to be President, when his country called on him to serve, he did it, maybe reluctantly, but was our greatest President.

[JustBecauseTheySaySo]

West keeps talking about sacrifice and being there for America, but he insists on blinding himself to reality, which is that our presidential candidates are cold potatoes! Not ONE of them has the same heart for Americans as Allen does and it's flat out pissing me off that he is being timid over this. SO WHAT if he's only been in congress a few months! How much experience did our founding fathers have?

[sonjahwkns]

I heartily agree with you, as he has probably forgotten more than some of our so-called leaders ever knew, however, I doubt that Mr. West has forgotten much.It's frustrating, really, that such abundant talent be wasted on serving one little microcosym, when I truly FEEL that this man would be one of the greatest Presidents of our time...(no disrespect intended). Please, Mr. West...Accept the role you are TRULY intended to fullfil, your country needs you desparately. @JustBecauseTheySaySo

[Yesica1993]

West for president 2012!

[DixieDoe]

@hameed .........REALLY?!?! Grow up

[7norton4]

2 Dislikes.... Barrak & Michelle ?

[ARGrandma1]

@7norton4 George Soros, Bill and Bernadine Ayers, Jeramiah Wright and Louis Farrakan do not 'like' this video.

[7norton4]

@ARGrandma1 Looks like some of them have already seen it today.

All joking aside, This man knows foreign policy !

[sonjahwkns]

it's good that they don't.. because if they did like it, it would be confusing to us, freedom loving persons. It's good that they're in front of us, where we can see what their agenda is, rather than the "poser" that confuses, and obfuscates the true agenda, and keeps most people in the dark...@ARGrandma1

[blogbat]

Our enemies and our enemies' supporters the libs and Ron Paul.

[zstray3]

THIS MAN IS MY HERO ! Allen West for president ! Hussein Obama get out of the white house , you are a f*cking  joke , go, go , yes you can !

[wyomingtea2]

Allen West, are you the only one on the Hill who understands the Rule of Law and the War Powers Act of 1973? Romeny talking about the "Afghanis."...the currency! I'm hoping everyone listens to this complete video!

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Thats strange, i have a considerable amount of knoweldge about world history, i live in his district, i proudly voted for him and helped get him elected. Sounds like YOU APPEAL to vague general statements and worthless opinions that mean nothing. Sounds like you are afraid of the anti-obama. And btw, why dont you explain or tell us what he got wrong, since you seem to act like you know better.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Do you think believing in Jesus Christ is an extreme religious belief?!? Come on, REALLY? Thats extreme? And as far as your world history i understand there were alot of as i wld say 'unpopular' or 'difficult' choices during the cold war. So if you studied your WWII history in regards to the strategic need for oil for wage war, an unfettered access to mid east oil was very important to keeping the ENORMOUS SOVIET THREAT at bay. But u are right about obama, just wrong about Rep. West.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Ok, who said we must 'blindly support everything israel does' or end up cursed? i missed where Alan West says that. Got a quote? As for Iran, i said it was just one of many bad choices or 'lesser of two evils' that america made during the cold war that resulted in later blowback. What we did wasnt always right, but much of it was justfied facing a much greater soviet threat. And we did manage to save the world from MAD, the soviet menace, and liberated HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PPL!

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Well i challenge you then to either state West "coding" it in his language, or stop putting words in his mouth, ITS INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST. And i think you are flawed in your knowledge of world history. Our "love" for oil is a very over simplified way of looking at it, there is a strategic need for it, you have to look back to WWII and FDR to understand that, as America didnt import most of it oil until the 1990s. And we didnt support the taliban, we supported the mujahdeen.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 And sorry i need clarification on your statement, you are not inferring we had a 'love' for the cold war as well? Because if not you are stating it as though we are to blame or caused that? Thats rediculous. The cold war was not some abstract, minor event. At one point the soviets had 48,000 warheads pointed at us. And in terms of size and strength, we were the considerable underdog. I agree communism is flawed, still that didnt stop them from being the biggest threat to mankind ever

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Well im intrigued how you are able to read so many ppls minds about their hidden religious beliefs. I dont know alot about John Hagee, but what i heard is hardly as offensive as obamas old minister, now that stuff is rather extremist if you ask me. and believing in Christs return is nowhere near as kookie as many things most americans believe, like UFOs, ghosts, angels, or that welfare helps the poor. Im a strong believer in supporting Israel. Like it or not, they are Gods chosen ppl

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Well you are getting into a theological debate, all i stated was a fact, out of all the nations, God chose Israel to be His ppl, only now thats in Christ. And wether they receive him this time or reject him again, that is between them and God. Personally as far as Iran they actively pursuing nukes and they are supplying are enemies in iraq and afghainstan with arms that kill americans. And i believe in the God of abraham, issac and jacob, not abraham, ishmael and mohammed.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 WHO HAD MORE NUKES? WHO HAD MORE TANKS? WHO HAD MORE TROOPS? WHO GOT INTO SPACE FIRST? Im not belittling AMERICAS GREATNESS, that i avidly promote, and you make a few good points, but to claim we werent the underdogs is complete leftist revisionism., Just like you infering reagan hosted the taliban LIE!. One the mujahadeens greatest leaders, Ahmad Shah Massoud, was assassinated by the AQ/taliban on 9/9/01 and was leader of what we called the Northern Alliance, u know them right?

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Stop being a liberal or anti american DUMB ASS. MASSOUD WAS ONE OF THE MAIN HEADS OF THE MUJAHADEEN, OK, READ MY DAMN WORDS AGAIN. Bin Laden was a wealthy saudi who had his own money, theres no proof a single US $ went to help him in his fight against the Soviets. You make my point that sometimes u have to make friends with ppl you normally might not want to, in order to defeat a common enemy. And you calling the soviet stuff junk, doesnt make the fact they had more of it, less true.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Well good for you and all your beliefs. Im entitled to my opinion, and you happen to be espousing and promoting alot of liberal and anti-american BULLSHIT AND PROPAGANDA. Seemingly with an unstated agenda (much like Allan Wests unstated kooky religious beliefs?). Im rather surprised you have all those positions and think so lowly of West. what was it you call him, radical or extremist views? Anyways putting that all aside, who ya liking for '12?

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Ok thanks for your honest opinions. I personally dont care what gays do behind closed doors but this wanting marriage status is rediculous, marraige can only be between a man and a woman. i agree with you on the drug wars. Im not big on the left behind theology too but everyone is bound to have some sort of opinion on that, nobody can know for certain and we will all find out one day at the end. As far west im proud hes my rep in congress, and hes way better than the lib he replaced

[ccsmith613]

@ruzziduzzi Thanks for the debate.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Your welcome, thank you as well, and sorry for the labels. They were excessive perhaps, not extreme, (lol), but definately approaching over the top! Cheers!

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 To this point we didnt have to ally ourselves to ruthless dictators, that can be debated how right or wrong it was, but sometimes it is nessecary, example being WWII we were even allied with the soviets to defeat a common enemy, who was a more clear and present danger/threat. Stalin was purging his own ppl, did that mean FDR and Churchill were wrong to ally themselves with Stalin? According to you we were wrong to do that. Sadly the geo-political world is not always black n white

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 yes and sadly we did need those allies when faced with the overwhelming nuclear threat of the soviet empire bent on world domination. And WARNING SCHMORNING! Didnt churchill attend each conference and ally himself with stalin? Apparently he didnt listen to his own warning. At least you acknowledge indeed YES sometimes, even regrettably so, we must ally ourselves with some nasty ppl. But thats something most libs just cant grasp, the west is not the only scource of evil in the world

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Well ok thats all fine and dandy and nice happy lib thinking (im not calling you a lib, just some of the ideas and propaganda ur promoting) but in a post 9-11 world, we cldnt afford to wait for saddam to do the right thing. And everyone seems to forget saddam had every oppurtunity to avoid the war. All he had to do was submit to all pertinent UN resolutions. Last time i checked assad is still in power, and the final outcome of this so called arab spring is far from determined.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Look, iraq is a long and complicated issue, as is al quiada and OBL. Both festered for nearly 8 years under clinton. If Slick willy had enforced the cease fire for the first gulf war when dealing with saddam, he wld have been disarmed in the 1990s and bush wld have had no need to invade. And yes while he was not as great a theat as we thought, in the post 9-11 world with asymetrical threats we cldnt take the chance, and again, saddam had every chance to avoid that war.

[ruzziduzzi]

@ccsmith613 Now Turkey, i happen know ppl there (talk to them DAILY), my dad has visited there, and you are PATENTEDLY WRONG. The current PM is alligned with the religious right, is cracking down on the secular nature of the state and bringing a more islamist way into govt. i thought you didnt like that? Also as i have been told he was being moderate to get reelected, and now we will see his more theocratic agenda as he seeks to change their constitution. Btw Ataturk = George Washington to them

[B17Boy]

Why did Obama watch this video twice?

[zerotolerance4u]

He has amazing clarity and breadth of knowledge and understanding of our nation and of the world.

[alross18058]

Time To IMPEACH !!!

[BMooreless1]

Great insights from a great American!

[PureInertia]

A scary man that seems to be proposing ideals that we're trying to protect ourselves against.

[gart97]

Congressman Lt Col Allen West is brilliant!

[pdroorbach]

We need this man as president!!

[B17Boy]

I would love to have Colonel West run for president in 2012. But he knows his limitations and knows it is not his time. However, if Obama wins in 2012, this country will hit rock bottom and that may ruin it for a black person to become president because for some reason, people think Obama is black. He's not; his mother was white. On the other hand, Colonel West is intelligent, knowledgeable, and understands geo-politics. He could win. Obama is none of those things.

[DeathKorps94]

PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT ALAN!!!

AMERICA NEEDS YOU!

[historyscoper]

Racism is sad and misguided. But when it comes to Islam, it's not a race, it's an evil ideology hellbent on world domination and the elimination of all freedom, hence allowing Muslim immigration to the U.S. is national suicide. Fly with the eagles by reading my Islam Watch Blog, see my profile for url.

[SpringChatty]

oh how i do not like perverted things or names.

[uxb67]

How's all that nigger leadership working out for the Whites in South Africa and Zimbabwe? Not to good, is it?

Wake up, you stupid, cowardly, dumbed-down White idiots.

[DeathKorps94]

@uxb67 This isn't South Africa you moron. Alan West is not Obama. Obama wishes he were the leader Alan West is.

[uxb67]

@DeathKorps94 That's right, you pathetic excuse for a White man, the U.S is not So. Africa, it's WORSE.

In S.A. they only segregated(for good reason). Here, there was slavery. U.S. niggers feel they have even more of a reason to hate Whites. Have you EVER taken a look at what is going on in those countries where Whites gave up power to a race of people that hate them? Nah, you're to busy trying to ease your "White guilt".

[DeathKorps94]

@uxb67 I don't have any "white guilt" you brainwashed little worm. If you think the US is worse than South Africa then you are an uninformed idiot. I would suggest you put down Mein Kampf and start doing some research. Right now White South African Farmers are being slaughtered. South Africa is a third world country and they want the whites gone from Africa. We have some problems here that need to be dealt with but to reject every black is just plain ignorant.

[uxb67]

@DeathKorps94 It is obvious that my first post referred to the ATTITUDES of niggers towards Whites as they compare in S.A and U.S. and not the overall situations in those countries. Obvious to a halfwit but not to you as you are less than a halfwit. I am well aware that S.A. is worse generally than the U.S. as it has been run by niggers for 17 years. You made my point for me, genius.

"Mein Kampf"? LOL. Interesting that you jump to the "Nazi" attack. That reveals something about you.

[DeathKorps94]

@uxb67 LOl your point? You have yet to make a point. All you have been doing is spouting racist bullshit from minute 1. You only wish you had the intellect to put forth an intelligent argument that anybody would be willing to take seriously. As far as Mein Kampf goes yes that fits you perfectly douchebag.

[uxb67]

@DeathKorps94 Listen,fuckstick, what are you really? I watched your video. You go on for 5 min. railing about "them" and "they" but you never name "them". Is that because you're too stupid to figure it out or are you hiding something? You're Charlie McGrath, right? But what's your mother's last name? There's something that doesn't look White about you. It's those putty-like, non-defined features and odd shaped head.

And you champion this Neo-con/Zionist, Israel loving nigger for President.

[DeathKorps94]

@uxb67 What the hell are you talking about? THis shows just how fucking idiotic you really are! ROFLMFAO you just took the crown for dumbest motherfucker on the internet. Congrats moron.

[Tedkennedysswimcoach]

He is definately what this nation needs.

[wim0104]

Would it help if we stop shooting at them and stop stealing their resources? Just a thought.

[colonellexi]

@wim0104 I guess them killing thousands of Christians around the world is okay with you huh? There is a very good article written by a Muslim on Islam's Useful Idiots............you are most certainly one of them.

[MartinJWillett]

@wim0104 Stop? The USA is not stealing anybody's resources. If the aim was to kill there would be a hell of a lot more bodies.

[reformnotchange]

Allen West for President 2012!!!!!

[rob4b]

he is a billion times better than obama, he has courage, commonsense, strength and leadership and his been a soldier he gets my vote

[LegMassageGoddess]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE run for president in 2012!! Colonel West, your country is SCREAMING for you and your leadership, your knowledge and your willingness to do what needs to be done to keep America safe.

[uzimodem]

a great guy with class and common sense. sadly, something we dont have in the Whtie House right now.

[Federalist306]

Rep. West...if you ever decide to run for higher office, you'd have my vote. It would almost be a waste not to have him as president, or at least a high level cabinet post, Sec of Def. or something like that.

[anangbhai]

Conservatives need to stop indulging in fantasies. Allen West is great where he is, which is representing his constituents first and bringing issues that matter to the forefront.

[Bunker91]

@anangbhai No one is talking about fantasies. We're already seen one "fantasy" put in office. Obama isn't even in the same ballpark as Allen West. Nope... West is REALITY... Obama is... "hope"... How's that worked out for America?
