So why doesn't your chosen one bring the troops home and stop killing innocent people? hint- It isn't because he's conservative.

That's not the conservative philosophy, they believe just like the OP that we can bomb our way out of every dilemma.


Obama has brought a good deal of the troops home compared to 2008 but like we learned in all foolish interventions, it's easier to start a war than end it.

And you wonder why I haven't been back. But I like to sneak up from time to time like a thief in the night. Absolute disconnect all the way. Where have I said, mentioned, or even insuated bombing our way out of every dilemma? Didn't you read my last post when I gave real life scenarios of when you don't need to fight with might? All you need to do is cut the corner and when they see you coming, they shape up.

Again, it's really annoying because posters like you have absolutely no ability to cut through the lines. You simply throw everyone and everything into one basket and can't identify with the exceptional properties of events. It’s linear thinking, which is another common trait amongst liberals. Many of you are so smart and intelligent that unless you have a stack of flow charts, you can't identify anything.

Presence is presence- it doesn't always call for action. And now I am getting annoyed. So, I suggest you start focusing and stop running away with nonsense.

You started off with you reference to the soldiers captured and you seem to indicate they should have taken some action, what would you suggest.


I also don't quite understand your police reference regarding felons getting away because their hands are tied, again what would you change. Do we not have a problem with police overreactions.


Anyway the best way to not being taken seriously is to start off a thread with the quote "liberal pansies, or "right wing nuts". Funny you talking about throwing everyone in a basket but that's exactly what you did.


So to keep it simple what should have been done with the Navy soldiers captured by Iran.

I don't see how Liberal policies caused those sailors to screw up and sail in to Iranian warriors. I do see how Obama's policy toward Iran paid dividends as the soldiers were released within 24 hours.

I know most Conservatives would prefer that we were at war....
Not one GOP candidate had anything positive to say about what was a highly successful diplomacy in the Persian Gulf.

"liberals need to stay out of our national security issues"

Translation: "liberals need to stay out of our national security issues because they end up being right and make conservatives look foolish.

You liberals called it about Iraq -- you said we shouldn't invade in March 2003 and you were right. You said the same thing about Vietnam."

So, how do you explain the invasion of Iraq? You can't be re-writing history blaming the invasion on liberals, or are you?

That certainly explains Bush/Cheney sending thousands of our guys to the middle east and then mismanaging those brushfire fights into unwinnable quagmires.

1. Who's brought our guys home from Iraq and Afcrapistan? <hint> It wasn't a conservative.

2. I find the sudden "concern" of RWNJs over collateral damage from drone strikes to be very amusing.

George W went with his gut instict and look how well that turned out. Why can't there be more Pauls in the Republican camp?

I was pretty impressed with this that Ted Cruz said..., ""I give you my word, if I am elected president, no service man or service woman will be forced to be on their knees...”

If he were President, how would he have kept that word? Seems like it happened, and no President could have intervened. Luckily, we used cool heads, and ended this potential problem quickly, peacefully, and without loss of life, or loss of face.
