Yet you support Obama who made it 4x worse than what George Bush did?

ABSOLUTELY! Priorities changed (or should have) on 9/11 and Saddam Hussein was far down the list of threats that needed attention.

I don't really agree with you, but I could see where you're coming from.

Not sure where you get that idea. I support disengagement.

Just imagine that he had not gone to Iraq and it turned out the other way and Sadaam's weapons were actually found, or worse .. used. Imagine what would have happened?
First, who is "us"... There was no grounda to go to war. I totally believe President George Bush Jr.
made the wrong decision. Obama has continued that policiy.
I can clearly imagine if we did not go into Iraq - financially, emotionally, logically: a positive.

As painful as it may sound to hear, we can not be the police for the world, militarily or otherwise,
without jeopardizing our own people. I set my priorities. The buck stops HERE
Priority of my own people - a given. Call me selfish

I simply think the world would be much better if they never existed or dissapeared. I don't see how people could really disagree.
Never existed (wishful thinking)
Disappeared (wishful thinking)
WIPED OUT!!! (removal of something, in this case people, that exist)

Do you see the difference?

i see that the thread is being diverted into something else.

as far as our ambassador being killed, let's leave that godforsaken country right now.

let them all go after each other as they typically do, with no more american casualties added.

no more americans need to die.

I'm not sure what you're prying at here. I wish the world were different and the arabs didn't exist, but we're stuck with them.

However, if I was told to vote to have all of them exterminated, I would vote no.

See the difference?

I agree 100%, or at least arm our embassy much much more heavily. It IS American grounds, that should not be happening.
