@MrTurbochargd It's our job as Americans to police the world because otherwise there will be chaos. America is the best for a reason, we know what we are doing.. Just look at Africa, they are all poor and hungry because they have dumb leaders. America FTW

@MrTurbochargd Even if they were, why aren't other nations speaking against U.S. foreign policies? Especially their culture of bullying. They don't need to denounce them, but at least engage such subjects. Russia, China, Brazil, etc... England, France, Germany, and U.S. are basically using their NATO power to get by with a lot of cronyism and shady business.

Look at all the clueless idiots stand up clapping when he said he's going to "Stop Iran's nuclear program". It's humiliating.

2001 Osama Bin Laden is the bad guy. He attacked us on 9/11. Let's invade Afghanistan. OOPS he's not in Afghanistan and had nothing to do with 9/11. Oh well let's free the Afghani people.

2002 Saddam is the bad guy. He has WMDs. Let's invade Iraq. OOPS he doesn't have WMDs. Oh well lets free the Iraqi people.

2012 Ahmadinijad is the bad guy. He's building nuclear........

Here is a translation for the Obama impaired:

Everyone plays by the same set of rules - except politicians of course. They will not be held accountable.

This pressure will not relent - until we have stopped your oil exports so our buddy Saudi Arabia can take over global oil contracting.

I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal - I'm willing to attack a nation like bush did, with no evidence, so that billions more in reconstruction kickbacks can be plundered.

[MrTurbochargd]

@Anfmethodjor And Iran isn't constructing nuclear weapons. If there was even a single shred of evidence, Israel and the USA would be showing it all over the world and likely attacking Iran. The USA is lying about Iran's nuclear weapons the same way they lied about Iraq's WMDs and Afghanistan's harboring of Bin Laden. All the USA does is lie and lie and lie.

@nintendomania1983 The only canadidates on the GOP that would get my vote over Obama would be Ron Paul but we both knows he's a bite too real for the conservative base. Mitt, newt, perry, Rick all a bunch of war hawking losers. I guarrenty you if any of these loser win we mostly likely will end up in another war.

[Anfmethodjor]

Why does America gets to dictate which countries get nuclear capabilities? Sure, noone wants unstable nations to achieve nuclear proliferation, but Iran is a sovereign nation with stable government, and a history of moderation.

@nintendomania1983 You forgot WHITE GUILT, you don't vote for him = RACISM.

Americas debt will be its failure, the same with the European countries, one by one. People will ignore Ron Paul. The Chinese will eventually clash with the West over debt, already the alliance with Iran is proof. The media has manipulated the people to wage war, but the younger generation have woken, the internet has exposed.

how does this lying sack of shit actually manage to stop breaking into laughter at the bullshit spewing from his lips?
