Bush and Obama are both responsible for many deaths that sadly had nothing to do with getting bin Laden.

The term "moral booster" is horribly crass when put in the context of all the death they both have caused.

That's what the weirdos believe.

I hate war too. I have two teenage sons. I just wish Bush never started those stupid, costly, fiascoes!

There's a lot of ridiculousness going on in this thread. Iraq is/was a pointless war started by President Bush and his cronies. The reason why we're F---d in Afghanistan is because we focused on a pointless war in Iraq. The war in Afghanistan was lost before President Obama even took over the presidency. He had two options and neither one them were good; pull out or increase troops. He increased troops and of course if you increase troops casualties will increase too.

OF COURSE Obama caused the increase in deaths in Afghanistan, by sending many more troops there.

It always amazes me that American Presidents pretend to be such religious, moral men, when in reality they are Mass Murders, and even worse, are committing mass murder of Americans for the PROFITS of the Military-Industrial War Machine. Mass murder for profit. Can't think of much worse a crime.

I truly wish there was a God, because this kind of criminal abuse of power deserves an eternity in the deepest layers of Hell. No just God would even put Obama and Bush in separate areas from Hitler and Idi Amin DaDa. While our Presidents are not EVER intelligent (Obama being about equally intellectual as the last Bush, who was significantly less intelligent than his father), I can't believe they are so incredibly stupid to believe the ridiculous crap about America being morally charged with policing the world, or "saving" abused populations by ravaging their nations with war.

I won't even talk about the crime of taking tax dollars from hard-working families like mine, and using them to fund mass murder for profit. Of all the reasons our federal government is one of the worst evils facing the American people today, this is the worst.

People have a fit when an tiny, insignificant amount of federal money is used to subsidize the ending of an unwanted pregnancy of a poor women, when I hear NOTHING about HUGE AMOUNTS of federal taxpayer dollars being used to mass murder both our own servicemen and women, as well as the citizens of other nations whose leaders we don't like. Our Offense Budget is so large it basically bankrupted the nation, while crushing our economy under the weight of endless taxation. We destroyed ourselves, for the worst reason in the world--world domination.

Many "Christians" felt the Iraq war was god's will including Bush!

This is one conservative atheist that also supports taking out terrorist sponsoring governments. That included Afghanistan and Iraq, and still includes Iran and Syria.

With a Democrat as President, and considering Democrats are al Qaeda's greatest ally, we will obviously have to wait until a real American regains control of the White House before we finish the job.
