The American mainstream media is doing everything they can to blockading the American people to not focusing on OWS demonstrators because they know that reality TV and fast food places aren't helping to make the American people dumb.

What Obama said is "The troops currently in Iraq are coming home". We will still have troops in Iraq; we're still sending troops to Iraq and we will still be in Iraq with our troops. I know three different people that are shipping out to Kuwait in the next month who will then transfer into Iraq. Along with our private contractors. Young Turks gets it right this time and I'm shocked they're telling the truth about this but am glad they're one of the few people calling Obama out on this.

Cenk just admit you were wrong man.

'Iran is trying to attack us at home.'

Where is his evidence of this? This is like the Bush administration's lies that Iraq was involved in 911 and was in the process of carrying out more attacks on the US

@Clanki Yeah, Both Iraq.. well The last three big wars in Iraq, were all directly the U.S. fault. We armed and encouraged Iraq to invade Iran. We armed and gave them permission to invade Kuwait.. only to change our mind and then invade them. Then in 2003 we invaded them for possessing the WMD's We sold to them.

So yes I understand it was complete bullshit for us to invade.  And many people died meaningless and pointless deaths.. But that is normal politics.

[GhostInTheShell29]

@Clanki Umm Invading a country with an army isn't terrorism.. It might be terrifying, but terrorism is an attack by a civilian organization, not a uniformed military. Sorry im picky with definitions, as people use words so losely, if you keep redefining words they will lose all meaning.

Terrorism doesn't imply morality, its just a label for a type of violence.

[Stingerbillion]

@Clanki I agree.
