Also, people have ALWAYS been hating on presidents, its nothing new, and nothing is going to happen about it. They're making a fool out of themselves and wasting time. If Obama does HAPPEN to turn evil, we have the right to turn against him, but has he? and don't be biased. People will always hate on presidents, happens in every country. But nothing happens, people needs to realize that and grow some common sense and stop being a baby

Zbigniew Brzezinski, the mentor of Barack Obama - while working for the State Department - FINANCED and ARMED the Mujahedin, which became the TALIBAN.

Zbigniew Brzezinski is still around, lurking in the background, controlling our current foreign policy.

Brzezinski started the wars in Afghanistan.

Considering all the death and destruction in Afghanistan, all the dead American soldiers to date, the military SHOULD GO AFTER BRZEZINSKI & OBAMA.
