He demands his media cheerleaders to look the other way, accept excuses without much challenge and turn his critics and whistle blowers into enemies. and sadly quite a few Americans have bought into this Dog & Pony show *
And what were Dubya's accomplishments again? Legacy mediocre C student in college, with DUIs and coke arrest, who may have gone AWOL while "serving in the National Guard," failed oil businessman, failed baseball team owner. Sorry, but the 2000 GOP set the bar so low for presidential candidates, there was nowhere to go but up. He does make nice dog paintings, though.

How very petty. Once we defeated the Hussein regime, should we have left and not made the effort to change the Iranian government to something that might benefit the people in terms of introducing them to something called "democracy?" I guess that's nation building. But we'd rather not leave them to slip back into the totalitarian form of government that lead to their oppression in the first place, and left them as enemies of the United States, and the free world, would we? But that's what Obama has done.

What did we do after Japan surrendered. Did we just walk away and hope for the best? Do you think that's what we should have done?

(BTW, both were elected and re-elected by the clueless caught up in the false Red vs Blue narrative.)
Oh please. The Battle of Fallujah probably caused more casualties than all of Obama's drone strikes combined. There's no comparison between the two.

The Invasion of Iraq ranks as one of the biggest blunders in US history. It should have never happened.

We left after 9 years. That wasn't enough for this right-winger apparently.

The OP mentioned him first, laughably arguing that HE knew how to deal with the "turrrurrists". The man who brought Al-Qaeda to Iraq. Haha.

What have Barack Obama's accomplishments been? Can you name any? Community Organizer? Radical leftist, advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government? (Oh yes he did!). And do we know what Obama's grades were?

How do you know what G.W.B's grades were? He became a fighter pilot. I happen to know, having been in the military, that you cannot become a pilot unless you have a higher than average I.Q. And to stay in pilot training, you have to maintain the grades. And that AWOL story is not proven and likely a myth (where did you get that from, "Daily Kos"?).

Oh, and by-the-way, Obama used drugs too. Coke included.

How very self-Righteous of you to support Bush's lies with nothing. Post 9/11 we never should have made regime change in Iraq a priority in the first place. There was NO REASON to invade/occupy an Iraq that Dick Cheney never missed an opportunity to tell us had NOTHING TO DO with 9/11, eh?

He kept McCain and Romney from the White House.

Lotsa dog fights in the dangerous skies of Alabama, eh?

It's funny, idiots like "Peter's" and those who agree with him are completely narrow-minded. Put yourself in your opponents shoes and ask yourself how you would react to this plan of action? Put yourself in the shoes of the global community and ask yourself how you would respond to a country the just starts nuking countries based on how Islamic they are.

All you've done is proved you know how to read. You have shown zero geo-political strategy and it's obvious you haven't thought this out much past killing "dem terrorists".

If you want an honest answer this then:

  1. If you are any country except for China & Russia, then you would be doing everything you can to appeasethat country so it doesn't happen to you. There is no defense from a submarine launch on the other side of the planet that can level all your cities in less than 30 minutes.
  2. If you are China & Russia, you'd make a big stink about it, but then you'd do the same thing with your interests.
  3. China, Russia, USA makes sure they don't offend each other. Rest of world doesn't matter.
  4. If rule #3 is violated, Earth returns to nature over a long period.

Happily, the only buttons that you are authorized to push are on your blender and mobility scooter.
