Jobs, if any, will be temp at best just like the first stimulus.

At this point in time, even a temp job would be appreciated!

About the "Mission Accomplished".

That was correct.

It was put up by the ship's crew.

They had in fact accomplished their mission.

And the cocky arrogance of the bowlegged cowboy Bush in his uniform acting like he finished the mission of bringing down Bin Laden wasn't a bit "off target". That didn't bother you? Seriously? Luckily Obama actually completed the "mission"....which was by the way....get Bin Laden, not go to war with Iraq

We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan and now also involved with Libya, Yemen and Syria.

We may have completed the mission but we are still "at war" and have expanded since Bush.

Seriously? You think we could just up and leave out of Iraq and Afghanistan? Not a single US casualty or injury in Libya, Yemen, or Syria. All the while 4,000+ are killed in Iraq and nearly 2,000 in Afghanistan. Not to mention all of the civilians in those countries that were killed. There is not a single good reason why we invaded Iraq with our troops. Afghanistan you could understand though.

Our "mission" was to hunt down Bin Laden.
The CIA could have done that without the need for "invasions".

Now it seems we're all about humanitarian aid. Our goal is to now save these people from the bad dictators whether they ask for our help or not.

The 2 countries that did ask for our help (Egypt, Iran) we totally ignored.
And sorry, but 10 years in a country is not just "picking up and leaving".

What did you expect, we have been supporting these "puppets" for decades in the middle east. Did you actually think we pulled a "shock and awe" on an innocent nation it wouldn't bother a few people? You bet we are still at war....we actually had to get Bin Laden....we have to try and clean up our mess that Bush and buggers made....people are now actively trying to kill us all over the Middle East with VERY GOOD REASON!!!! We started it. But, I'm sure you agree with the left, that its time to pull ourselves out of that whole mess....and leave all those lucrative military contracts to die.....Right?

So why didn't Bush and buggers actually just let the CIA hunt down Bin Laden? Hmmmm, Haliburton money have anything to do with that? Shock and Awe was the response. Not Obamas war...sorry!

I don't know. And why didn't Congress suggest that ?

Why did we have to invade to hunt down a man with a kidney condition that was living high off the hog right smack in the middle of the Afghan military ?

I've got my doubts that the US didn't know about this.
