If that is your argument, I have no problem with it. I was just pointing out that there is a major difference between the war in Iraq and what we are currently doing in Syria. To make the comparisons is absolutely asinine.

That is my stance in regards to the matter. I opposed going into Iraq, and I oppose the current action from this administration. We need to stop all of this nation building, and police action BS, and focus on our own problems here at home! And believe me, we have plenty of our own!

Bots would worship Obomber even if he started a nuclear war. We saw that with his saber rattling at Russia and China. Bots are crazy.

Does it matter if you are killed by an American bomb vs an American rifle bullet? To ignore the comparisons is absolutely asinine.

In either case it's asinine to sacrifice more American lives for the people of the Middle East, rather they are flying an F-15 or packing an M4.

When it's a Democrat in the White House, all criticism of war seem to evaporate. Where are the anti-war rallies? Where are the daily death tolls that are reported on the news?

They all pretty much ceased once Obama became Commander in Chief.

I wonder...has Cindy Sheehan crawled back out from under her rock to protest Gulf War III?

(actually, she is consistent-just found this )

Bottom-line: If you are a supporter of Obama's foreign policy (leaving aside his disastrous domestic issues), you are a supporter of MurderInc and Empire. I know most of you don't really support these policies but for some weird reason think you need to circle the wagons around The First Black President™who is just as vigorously an Able Servant of Empire™as the 43 white guys before him. "Humanitarian Intervention™" is not only an oxymoron, but a big propagandistic myth to get you to support murder and mayhem from a (D).
Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox


OK, so no calling her out...I can actually respect her for that. Now...where are the Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen and other peace and lovers?

Liberals are nothing if not complete hypocrits. I was against Bush jumping into Iraq and I'm against whatever Obama thinks he's doing.

Why isnt the Tea Party leading the way on gubbermint spending? Suddenly the Tea Party is silent. When Medicaid was a ballot issue in Arizona it was hard to walk down a sidewalk without running into a Tea Partier on a mobility scooter protesting Obummercare expansion. Each Tomahawk missile costs taxpayers $1.6 million. Suddenly the war cost taxpayers more than the $16 billion is subsidies for the ACA that outraged the Republican base. So where are you Republican base...I thought you hated gubbermint spending?
