Obama like the rest of them are spoiled little brats who have never suffered and who do not have a clue how to run a nation or conduct foreign policy that is of any pragmatic use other than weapons sales and the general dispersion of war supplies for profit. There is no ideology involved in the actions that the military is forced into. It's about profit and maintaining a rich elite..who do not give a damn who dies or who suffers...What the hell is some goat herder with a beard carrying an AK going to do to harm the USA? Nothing! It's all BS...as for Bin Laden...they always knew where he was....criminals bickering with other criminals...That's what it's all about.

Not true at all. He could have ended this war four years ago. Instead, he chose to accelerate the war. Now he has spent more money on this war than Bush and more Americans have been killed on his watch than Bush.

Obama is a hypocrite war monger. And all you lemmings just give him a pass on his wasteful war spending.

They have no idea who the bad guys might be. It is smart to take no chances.
Or we could just leave Afghanistan like Obama promised a few years ago and avoid all these issues.

Yep and you know those tapes we have of him since 2008. He also said in these stupid things, that within 6 months of his presidency, our first set of troops would be coming home. Really kept his promise now didn't he.

Just as he kept the promise of Hope Not, Change, Change did you say?

He is nothing but a liar and a hypocrite. And a war monger, which is something he stated he would not do.

Nothing like resurrecting a thread created September 2009 over an incident that happened in 2009.

2009 was when the war escalated almost doubling the number of US military that were killed (310) the prior year (2008/153) and reached 496 in 2010.

We were still in Iraq at that time and our military in Afghanistan was understaffed and underequipped when the escalation began.

Obviously not checking the date of the thread when the event took place and having any knowledge about 2009 and the conditions our military were fighting under isn't relevant.

I tend to think that way too many people babble on about things in spite of the fact that the amount of "knowledge" they have could sit on the top of a pin.

The troops reportedly tied up several employees and the family of some of the patients, ordered the bed-ridden patients out of their rooms and smashed down several doors, including the door to the malnutrition ward. They did not arrest anybody, but upon leaving ordered the staff to report anybody coming to the hospital to seek treatment before the treatment was provided.

NATO spokesmen confirmed the raid, but said they had no information about why it was done and refused to speculate. The United Nations cautioned that the raid was a potential violation of the Geneva Conventions, which insist that military personnel avoid operating inside medical facilities.

The charity says that the same hospital was involved in an incident in July, when private contractors escorting a supply convoy forced their way in and used the hospital to hide from insurgents.

A US helicopter also attacked a small medical clinic in Paktika Province last week on the basis of a report that a wounded insurgent might be inside.

Outrage as US Forces Attack Afghan Hospital -- News from Antiwar.com
Your thread is (highly) manipulating.

The Afghanistan war was planned by GW Bush, after the Sept 11 attacks.
But republican GW Bush also attacked Iraq in the name of Sept 11, when Iraq had nothing to with Sept 11.

If GW Bush did not waste American resources in Iraq (for nothing), then the Afghanistan situation would be well under control.


And you're the most pathetic and (honorless) manipulator, that I have seen in a long time.
Your post expresses outrage towards the US military killing innocent people, but your a phony and a liar.

GW Bush's (for nothing) Iraq war killed 1,000's of US soldiers for nothing.
Did republicans show outrage about their senseless deaths?
Answer: No, republicans don't care about GW Bush killing 1,000's of US soldgiers in Iraq (for nothing.)

GW Bush's (for nothing) Iraq war also killed 100,000+ innocent Iraqi people.
Did republicans show outrage for these 100,000+ innocent people that died for nothing?
Answer: No, republicans don't care about the 100,000+ innocent Iraqi people that died for nothing (in Bush's Iraq war.)


You could care less about innocent people getting killed in war, you just want to attack Obama.

You should watch the following Australian documentary. The CEO's who run Fox news manipulate you people, as if you were retarded sheep.

You think I am trying to defend Bush? That's funny. I never expected much from Bush - and he truly is the greater idiot, but somehow I thought Obama would 'change' things. Nope. He is truly a do-nothing president.
I was for Paul throughout, and you sheeple on both sides of the party line just don't get it.

This thread blamed B. Obama for deaths caused by GW Bush's wars. And this thread fully lacks any common sense, because Obama wants to end the Afghanistan war (as the following sources clearly show.)

NATO accepts Obama timetable to end war in Afghanistan by 2014 - CNN.com
Obama: End Afghanistan war, rebuild USA
Obama: End of Afghan War in Sight
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/23/wo...anted=all&_r=0


And Obama did change things.

Obama wants to end the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Obama gave insurance to the 45,000 Americans, who die each year from not having health insurance.
Obama is trying to outlaw the assault weapons that are being used to kill American children in schools.
Obama's wife is trying to get our children healthier school lunches.
ex.ex.ex.

But the major thing Obama did, was to bring down the huge deficits that GW Bush created, as the following source shows. (see "Growth Rate YoY" section on the following graph.)
