I thought Barack Hussein Obama was the promised one, the one we have all been waiting for. He promised to wage peace, not war. But I see from casualty reports that Marines are engaged in heavy combat every day. In fact American casualties are increasing, not decreasing. Are the young people who voted for Obama aware of this? Are they concerned?

Thats a strange comment. It could be true that America went to war in Iraq cos of oil or it could be a conspiracy theory I dunno. Although Dick Chaneys Haliburton is a major player in Iraq... and I recently found out that the same company is now a catering company for american troops!

Iraq doesn't sit on the worlds oil supplys though.

Obamas got the right ideas about the Afganistan; and finally using some diplomacy in the region, and on pumping money into research on alternative energy.

bajimkam, many in Africa like to say that the violence is about tribal differences, when in reality bin Laden has incorporated his jihad into the tribal battles, supporting radical Muslim leaders in both Christian and Muslim countries. The Luo Muslims killed thousands in Kenya this year... don't tell me they are far from the violence. Muslims have been the violent leaders for decades... do some homework on Kenya's violent ethnic history (Christian/Muslim), Odinga Sr & Jr's histories & Mau Mau.

[bajimkam]

what a stupid fool you are for talking about something you know nothing about. the violence in kenya was tribal not religious and muslims in kenya live far from where the violence was. i'm from kenya by the way. i guess your hatred for obama didnt prevent him from becoming president, huh? open your mouth when u have facts loser

...just like Obama showed vigor in his terror fight in Kenya this year... except... whoops, he got confused and supported the radical Muslims, and when they lost the elections, the killings started. He is a radical who has been involved in Kenya terrorism for at least 15 years. He is at the cutting edge of the African (and US) jihad. His pals/family in Kenya now have direct ties to al Qaeda. Our government knows this... so what's he doing running for President of the US?

My frind, in the end of the day there is only two men to pick from. McCain who will give us 4 more years of the same as we have now and you can see how well we can go or Obama. Thats it. RP is not even a factor in the race right now, even if people write him in he will take more away from the GOP then the DNC, and that only help Obama. You may not like him but at this point he will be the man, even if you dont like him. Sorry to tell you that. But I am done talking with you, be well and safe.

The only way that will happen is if people wake up and see the bullshit of Status Qu-Obama.

I'm not demanding that people think like me for to accept facts about him and his campaign instead of being swept up by his charisma and buzz words...
