I hope Obama sticks with what he promised and withdraws all of troops and bring them back home!

Get out of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Korea, Germany, Japan, etc. We have 703 military bases in 130 countries and this country is totally broke. What are our elected leaders thinking?

Gates,

Do you and your CIA/DOD know where the terrorists are? No. Does the UN know where the terrorists are? No. Does General Mc and the military know where the terrorists are? No. Does Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan know where the terrorists are? No. We know where they've been. They blow up and kill a lot of people. But no one sees them come or go and no one sees Osama. After 8years, how can that be? So here's a hint, they're all terrorists. The Bush/Dick bog-America-down plan has really worked.

Why do everyone hate Bush. He was a good strategist. He's able to possibly ruin the presidency the incoming president in less than a year by starting 2 wars. Now he can watch TV while eating Cheerios.

Beancube, are you one of the new CIA bloggers set to spew Obama's agenda? Conservative talk radio is the only source of non-propoganda left. I guess you want the Chavez plan of government control over every aspect of our life.

I choose liberty you Marxist.

i am a progressive who uses the word retarded and asshat to describe right wingers.

i guess i am unique in that way.

[astronato]

A real progressive (or a grown up)wouldn't use the word retarded as a pejorative.

Asshat.

We all can evolve instead of being railed to repeating history that our narrow minded mass media could understand only. We have enough education and exposure to understand many things. We don't need their small world view interpretations. Distribute our technologies, so the public (especially our seniors) can use high tech to communicate and build our society for this new millennium and for our kids.

[beancube2008]

In both our Afghan War Retreat and Health Care Reform, the major enemy are from our conservative radio talk shows. I would suggest recording all this talk shows, add transcripts and open some public forums on Internet for everybody to put comments about them so majority of the public can obtain more diversified references in plain languages.

obama stop appeasing the retarded republicans and bring our troops home
