Of course, Kyl should know everything about Vietnam since he ser.... oh wait, Kyle never served in the military, so he wouldn't know anything about Vietnam or military strategy.

End the wars; close our military bases; defund the Pentagon.

None of this advances America's interests.

For all those whiners who say Obama inherited a mess from Bush - It was Obama's choice to run for Presidency nobody forced him to be the President. If he wanted the responsibility he better suck it up and start leading the country.

My point is that you are a fucking retard. Repeating the same republican talking points that are based to attack Obama on the basis that he's not republican.

I'm sorry if this breaks your heart but if Obama wants to do ANYTHING he has to go by congress first, it's called the system of checks and balances.

And like Smoker said. Is bowing part of our culture? Not really. If Obama was over there as a guest he would probably bow in sign of respect, just as they would shake hands here in respect.

War & high taxes!

you didnt see the Indian premier bow to Obama? Why would you?

Do you bow to him?

Bowing isnt a part of our culture...so why would anyone think its proper to bow to our president

you should think before you type

And you basically answered my earlier questions

you are attacking him for things you dont want done anyway. If he fullfilled those promises, youd be attacking that too, probably with more vigor. which is why no one really gives a shit about what people like you think

[EnhancementSmoker]

are you complaining because you are upset those promises havent been fullfilled?

or are you compaining about Obama not doing things you dont want done anyway?

[psnsam]

Yeah, go ahead and call me names. It does not change the fact that "Gitmo will be closed SOON" is not good enough. Obama is Mr. Dither. It took Mr.President close to 3 quarters to decide if he wanted to approve a "surge"(drip) in Afghanistan or not. I am sure he will pass the closing of Gitmo baton to the next President in 2012. Hmm... did you say "showing respect". I did not see the Indian premier bow to Obama. Is it not Asian culture to show respect and bow. Why is Obama bending over in Asia?

[MetalEagle95]

Oh man you are SO different from every other republican talking-point machine. Dude congrats on the originality, you truly deserve a medal for all your hard research and rational logic.

He promised he will sent only 2 brigades - Oh yeah becuase as you know General McCristal totally plays no part in the war in Afghanistan.

Gitmo isn't closed - Congress just approved of the action, Gitmo will be closed soon.

Bowing down - Yes because showing respect shows weakness. Paranoid dumbass.

[psnsam]

Obama during his campaign said he will send in only "2 brigades" i.e 7000 troops . Now he is planning to send in 30000 troops. He said he was going to bring back troops in Iraq- which he has not. He said he will close Gitmo- he has not done that either. All he keeps doing is bending over to foreign monarchs.

Its funny how republicans all of a sudden have problems with this war, when they were so excited to do it a couple of years ago

[crtnyevans]

He said he would focus on Afghanistan. Seems he can say what he means and people will still make up shit. When did he say he would pull out of afghanistan. Show me
