Have you ever even attempted learning the difference between a military strike and a full scale invasion/occupation?

The demise of the dollar - Business News - Business - The Independent

At the article it describes how China, and mid east countries are by passing the US dollar and working to create a new reserve currency, this is bad for the US.

Well, when I read the "title" I think Republican, like in GOP, the war mongers throughout our history. People who will so easily send our young people to their death ... to support the military industrial complex and extremist views. The President, President Obama, has masterfully, to this point, led our efforts vs. Iran and I'm satisfied/pleased with what's happening. The President is so superiorly stronger than his predecesor, President Bush, when it comes to national defense, getting the "bad guys" and Iran. I trust his judgment and leadership.

It's not Israel that wants Iran attacked.

Saudi Arabia urges US attack on Iran to stop nuclear programme.

Oops I forgot to mention Obama attacked Somalia. He is now sanctioning & block-aiding Iran. These are acts of war. He is trying to provoke Iran. He is doing Saudi Arabia's bidding.

Obama started more wars & has US fighting in more wars than Bush. Bill Clinton did even more. Just because the media does not inform you on the democrats wars does not mean they aren't happening.

Obama, the "Ultimate War President" is the only US President to attack 6 countries & after only 2 years in office.
Pulling the ultimate con, Obama receives peace prize but quietly attacks 6 countries & escalates the Middle East conflicts. Obama also involved in "Day of Rage" in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Iran & Bahrain. Obama secretly deployed US special forces to 75 countries.

- Obama Ordered escalated U.S. Military Strikes on Afghanistan.
- Obama Ordered continued U.S. Military Strikes on Iraq.
- Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strikes on Pakistan.
- Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strikes on Yemen.
- Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strikes on Libya.
- Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strikes on Somalia.
- Obama backing "Day of Rage" in Egypt.
- Obama backing "Day of Rage" in Iran.
- Obama backing "Day of Rage" in Tunisia.
- Obama backing "Day of Rage" in Yemen.
- Obama backing "Day of Rage" in Bahrain.
- Obama secretly deployed US special forces to 75 countries.
- Obama Signed the NDAA bill into law. Now he can indefinitly detention, torture & kill US citizens.
- Obama Sold $30 billion of weapons to the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia.
- Obama Defended body scans and pat-downs at airports.
- Obama Signed the Patriot Act extension into law.

Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize!!!!!! - WTF!!!!!!

real diplomacy? When you are dealing with a theocracy that is hell bent on hating you to the bowels of hell for what you are and what you believe?

Sorry....diplomacy just isn't going to work when dealing with these barbarians. And besides....our 'diplomacy' usually ends up with us being fleeced to the tune of HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars that we just don't have. I offer Pakistan as a prime example of what I mean.

Now...that being said...I do NOT beleive that we should destroy Iran. We should back away...we should get out of the middle east. We should let it be known that if Iran uses their nuclear capabilities to wage war against Israel, then we will be back and it will be no holds barred...we will destroy them completely and without compromise.

Otherwise, I say let's take the handcuffs off of Israel, and let them handle their own wars. They are our ally...but we should not be dictating to them what they should and should NOT be doing in regards to Iran OR the palestinians.

We need to start worrying more about OUR country. Let's start putting our resources HERE instead of in afghanistan or iraq or libya or syria. Let them idiots kill themselves off....who the F**k cares?? WE have a crisis....in fact we have MANY of them that need addressing by the government that is supposed to act in the best interest of the people who elect them....meaning the LEGAL citizens of the United States!!

Enough of playing police to the f***ing world...get out troops home....adopt a HANDS OFF attitude when dealing with other countries. Leave ourselves open to talking...but lets keep our troops HERE. Out of Europe...out of Korea...out of the middle east...and forget dealing with that thief Karzai.....he is demanding BILLIONS yearly from us. Let him sink or swin....he has his chance...use it or get hung by the taliban when they take over....because make no mistake...they WILL take over...the day after we are gone. No amount of money will stop that...so let's just STOP printing money to send there.

Let's worry about US for a change.
