This President far superior to anyone in the GOP.

Exellent address by President Obama.
You must cut back on that Kool Aid...its for your own good.

1) all wars start with a lie
2) all wars are continued by lies
3) all wars end with a lie
4) all wars are lied about why they were fought after they are over.

How could he stand there and lie about how good the war was going and that the objectives were being met.

We call on people of conscience and courage—all who seek peace, economic justice, human rights and a healthy environment—to join together in Washington, D.C., beginning on Oct. 6, 2011, in nonviolent resistance similar to the Arab Spring and the Midwest awakening.

Still voting present I see.

Is there a purpose for having troops in Afghanistan and Iraq?

We went there to kill people who are now dead.

What bad thing will happen if we leave now that won't happen in 2014?

That dump going to magically transform itself into a Jeffersonian Democracy if we stay two more years?

They have elections thanks to our troops and President Bush. If they are sharp enough to take advantage of them and fight to keep what they've been given, great, but I'm not that optimistic. What can be done to help them has already been done. Now it's up to them.

Well that's refreshing. I remember a prior administration in which units finishing their tour of duty were told to stay put for another "tour," and then another...

What do you mean by "Obama couldn't"?

When I was a Marine they used to say "pick up your gear". Then we would go somewhere else.

Anyone remember Baghdad Bob? Looks like the Obama Administration hired him to do web blasts.

What else could Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) do

With the current state of unemployment and the ever rising
spending and debt, this was nothing more then political
move with his art of deflection a method that Alinsky taught his community organizers and the left is hot on using it.

His Character and his Policies will dictate his fate

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

Nobama is in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen and Pakistan. He's 3 x's the warmonger that Bush was, but since he has a (D) ater his name, it's all good.
