  • Regarding the The landslide election victory of Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) back in early 2006, a truly democratic party must reject violence, intimidation, and terrorism, not only against its own people but also against other nations, even if they are historic enemies. There should be no tolerance for the fiction of distinguishing between a "political wing" and a "military wing" of a party.

  • Militias and terrorist organizations must be dismantled before a party is accepted as a suitable participant in elections. Opening the door to political movements such as Hamas to compete in elections (without first dropping their reliance on violence) will only allow them to subvert democracy and establish a stranglehold on political power.

  • Political parties must also pass a values test: they must not advocate racial or religious discrimination. Many European states ban neo-Nazi and other racist political parties. Parties such as Hamas that demonize other religions should also be prohibited from participating in elections and ostracized if they manage to win. The Bush Administration should have made this clear before the vote.

  • One last comment (regarding this guy Cenk Uygur) I commend him for taking the time to broadcast his rather ideological viewpoints on everything from the Iraq War to beastiality! The good news is that you'll never see him on any major network affiliate, nor any national newspaper, such as the Washington Compost or The New York Slimes!

  • Maybe when Keith Overbite or Chris Matthews (aka Screwball) both from MSLSD retire, one of them will hand the torch over to this guy Cenk.  The Libs could use another fresh democratic face to promote their socialist agenda and this nudnik could be just what they're looking for.

  • Hammas, one of the worlds largest terror groups comes and and says they want Obama to win...hmmmmm, I wonder why?

  • hamas has done nothing to you, they want their land back, what would you do if some came into your house and said this is mine now because god promised it to me??

  • You are a fucking idiot and based on your response, it is quite evident that you advocate terrorism. Hope the fuck you don't live in America because you won't last long!

  • no you're the fucking idiot, you Americans are sedated by god knows what that made you fat and stupid. Who the hell wants to live in America, no muslim should live in it, why should they pay taxes to build a shit hole country that kills other poor people.

    screw you

  • Trust me....no muslims living in America would be a beautiful thing. Now go crawl back into your cave you idiot!

  • That would be like ethnic cleansing that you are disgracefull advocating to happen in America, much like Hitler decided he wanted to eliminate Jews from Germany. There was oonce a time when people didn't want black people in the country.

    It's all discrimination to alienate an entire group whether or not individuals within it are guilty of any wrong doing and the majority aren't.

  • As much as I'm against military occupation in Palestine by the Israeli militant government, I am also equally against the militant group Hamas as both kill innocent Palestinian and Israeli civilians. Even if more Palestinians are disproportionatly killed to Isreli's, I sympathy for those caught in the conflict between extremists on both sides. It's a war over land like India & Pakistan over Kashmir.

    Look up Jewish Voice for Peace that are also against the illegal occupation, and against AIPAC.

  • Fuck yeah man tell those ignorant FUCKS!

  • lol fuck iraq

  • that why iraq is making deals with us there paying us your oil even when we leacve :P so u know what watch when we will leave we will be back don't worry cuz i know by fact nuthing is going to change when we leave

  • Yes He Can!

    attack iran?

    send more troops to afghanistan?

    socialise the nation?

    YES HE CAN!

    Man ur political system is fucked... and worst of all you actually believe you have a 2 party system in america! HAAH

    did you not realise that liebermann authored the iraq war resolution? he wouldve been Al Gores VP if Bush hadnt stolen Florida. So no matter who won 2000, you woulda invaded iraq!

    Do you think anything has changed?

    damn stupid americans.

  • tell us man! make us open our eyes...(well not me im aware of shit)....

  • here australias pretty stuffed too.. but america takes the cake... your election cycle lasts longer then the presidency does lol... and its a game for rich celebrities... who all have the same political views, yet pretend to differ. the 2 party system is a farce.

    infowars (dot)(com) is good...

  • uh, Who says uh more, Obama or this ass?

    Uh,Uh

  • Led Zeppelin at 04:12 ? ?

  • What I find confusing about this is in 1975 General Abrams engineered "The Golden Handshake" which essentially relegated active duty to combat roles and reservist to combat support roles. The purpose of this agreement was to insure that never again (ie Vietnam) would the active duty forces bear 99% of the load in a large scale war.

    So, what exactly does this agreement mean? I have difficulty imagining an Iraq where the only U.S. presence is reservists. It is confusing.

  • Like 2/3 of ads that I see are from McCain these days.

  • lol the add in the right corner of my screen is one by john mcsame bashing obama for being a celebrity...

  • Why do I see all John McCain ads when I watch the Young Turks!! "JOHN MCCAIN SUCKS....so here you can donate to his campaign!" Talk about money wasted by the McCain campaign!!

  • 2 party system?

    That's one more than communist China.

  • Quote made famous by former Minnesota Governor Jesse "The Mind" Ventura. He became "The Mind" while in office.

  • us wants all the oil to them selves then, they are ganna try to rule the world.

  • our military isn't that strong and besides china and Russia would crush us. we aren't the super power anymore. our military is strained and thin and our economy is in the toilet. not to mention our civil rights being chiseled away.

  • You're a twit, our military is the finest in the world bar none.

  • Winning the battle and winning the war are two different things. The German Leopard and the Panther tanks were two of the best tanks in the 1940's and they could easily beat our Sherman tanks 1 on 1.  However we could produce 4 tanks to their one. And they had to fight on several fronts also.

    China can produce more tanks than us and wwe are already spread too thin with too many enemies. If we make the wrong move then history has a way of repeating itself with different actors.

  • I seriously doubt that we would ever participate in a conventional war with China, there are just too many Chinese stomping around, you could be sure that tactical nuclear strikes would even if not tip the scales in our favor in that instance, though I see your point.

  • There are more chinese people in this world than there are cockroaches for God's sake! Speaking of which why does this guy refuse to wear a tie? Be a man. You're not at a club trying to pick up girls, you're alerting the country, afterall. Oh, that's right... because he represents an organization of people who oppose civil authority. GO TO CLASS ALREADY, WILL YOU??? From where does this stuff broadcast? Forget it, as a matter of fact I don't want to know and I regret even asking!

  • Wow you're smart; I'll go to class as you say and then I can begin to comprehend what you're saying.

  • Really intelligent and valid argument as to why this story really doesn't make the republicans look wrong. Not wearing a tie? What does that have to do with his reporting ability or his political stances? Come on man.

  • Oh good, I'm glad you posted this 3 times. Because the first 2 times I read it I it was not clear how you felt. Now I understand, Thanks.

  • We gotta wait and see how the Republicans spin this. If they do what I think they will do, and try to avoid the topic. It will definitely hurt McCain, because the media likes those issues candidates want to be forgotten. LMAO, Bush is amazing. I can't wait to watch the press coverage on this.

  • I call bullshit, when America invades another country it NEVER completely leaves, ever. There will be US army bases in Iraq 'till the end of time.

  • I don't know about the immunity part. I mean some of the soldiers and contractors actually went in and raped people.

  • Everything you say is true. But this is why Obama needs to make sure that this version of the narrative is what end up in the media. Right now, I'm not seeing it being reported that way outside of Cenk and Olbermann. That's what has me concerned.

  • They're trying to take the issue off the table to help McCain win the election.

  • Oh hell, my bad, his name is Cenk ( Been watching for about 2 weeks now, and still didn't know what his name was) XD

  • I think this may actually help McCain. It will diminish the importance of the Iraq issue, where Obama has a big advantage with voters (in terms of policy at least). Obama needs to make certain he uses this to his advantage immediately or McCain can actually make some hay with it.

  • The Oil deal has been made. So they don't care anymore.

  • If McCain EVER said anything about 100 years, the voters should be wise enough to keep him away from anything to do with the oval office. There's just no grip on reality here.

  • Obama doesn't have a plan...

  • Next stop IRAN!

  • they're only removing combat troops...the neo cons still want to keep 50,000 troops in permanent bases...

  • Another Afghanistan. Another MESS.

  • You are such an Obama humper man. Obama has not had the 16-month withdrawal plan in months. It was shot down by every single one of his advisors within days of his public announcement of the plan. You need to pay attention more buddy. Take your Obama blinders off and look around you.

    Obama will not pull out in 16 months. He has admitted this publicly at least twice now.

  • Finally some semi-uplifting news appears in this nightmare!

    Now how will we totally F$#K it up?

  • After Obama becomes President, he should make a deal with the Iraqis. We'll pull all our soldiers out but they have to take in all the neocon chicken-hawks in their place. That way the chicken-hawks can see some real action up close without messing up our government.

    Of course Iraqi law will then prevail all over Iraqi land.

  • how do u no obama will become president?

  • because you don't know the difference between 'no' and 'know.

  • lol

  • I don't believe it, and you shouldn't believe it as well.

  • So while they were publicly condemning Obama's plan they are secretly actually using his plan.

  • oh the hypocrisy knows no bounds!

  • ah yes, you would think that,, but its actualy an horisont for withdrawal,, so clearly its something completely different. :P
