In the real world, it's called "practical."

I love watching the people who were screaming that if you were against the war, you are against America, for the last ~7 years change their tune to ranting about Obama's hemorrhaging money into unwindable conflicts killing American soldiers.

It's so funny watching war hawk extremists change their tune, and try to rationalize it without getting tied up in their own words.

Hell, I even did a write up in 2003 if it continues in this fashion we were going to end up pretty much exactly where we are now. Especially with big expenditures into the conflict while getting tax breaks. I was just shouted at that I didn't support the troops and hated America. Though I think of supporting them by making sure many stay alive, by the use of force when necessary.

it is though. nobama promised to end chimpy mcbush's war. promised to 'bring them home'.

also, no more troops.

so what does he do? the exact opposite.

Wrong assumptions leads to wrong conclusions, there was nothing accurate in any of this. your fantasy and nothing more.


As a general rule we can certainly see anything Bush was involved with didnt work out for anyone but Bush and Cheney. No one would value that dimwit.

maybe he should use his brain before he said things like 'were gonna pull the troops out and bring em home' then goes and sends another 12k or so to the sandbox.

No, we're still there because he hasn't a clue of what else to do.
