Only one I heard complain was Ron Paul.

Oh and for those of you who don't know Repub Guard is running around Venezuela and Central America too. They're just being nice though I'm sure.
Yes, because if it's one thing that will stick on Obama, it's being "soft on terror" - despite killing way more of their leaders than under Bush's administration and disrupting every major plot so far under his admin. The issues with Iran trying to take advantage of the situation in Iraq are not new under Obama's administration, either. The only thing you should be criticizing him for is hypocrisy since he took over all of Bush's policies despite initially criticizing them. But as far as this "soft on terror" claptrap goes, you've got nothing.

I've asked that question about three times.

The only response I got was that Israel should kill the Palestinians.

I don't believe I said that they thrwarted a "plot by Iran". I am as cynical on the subject as you are. I am very wary of it being used as pretext for more war.

You can't possibly be that thick.



There are elements in Iran that need coddling. Sooner or later the Islamists will be out of power, and we don't want to burn any bridges we don't have to burn.
When OUR media is rooting for the bad guys hard to win that propoganda war.

They're apologizing to Khan's parents for having to waste him. Strange, but maybe they think or believe the parents had nothing to do with the kid's being a traitor.

He is killing them, something Bush failed to do far too often. I am not changing the subject, it is not my fault you do not like others pointing out the Hypocracy involved in the right-wing constant whining. You want wars and then you do not, I guess for you it depends if a rightie or leftie is office, in other words whichever the wind is blowing at the moment. Reality, you wouldn't know reality even if you finally woke up and saw it.
I always forget when Bush was president all the military did was kill innocent civilians.
