How about the irrelevant forum? |
Sure it's irrelevant except that I found it interesting that all my Korean students knew about this today, but I could hardly find any information on it. I was suddenly terrified he'd find himself outsted from the whitehouse and the world would find itself once again at the mercy of crazy rednecks messing with my Korean exchange rates, threatening ev9eryone with nuclear war. |
At least with Bush the whole world knew he could invade at any time. With Obama (in my opinion) the world now thinks America is soft. |
Fair enough. But the problem with invading and starting wars is it played into Bin Laden's plans for the US to bankrupt itself. One more war, and the US might have no choice but to go ballistic on the rest of the world once China calls in its debt.
It reminds me of Robert Duvall's line in the movie Colors: "You can run down the hill and f* one cow; or walk down and f* 'em all."
Along the lines of what Bill Maher ponders, why didn't the US retaliate Israeli style with a string of kick ass assassinations against the guys who actually planned the attacks? Could've saved money and made a great movie. |
Yeah I agree with what you said. I think Obama should just put hits on everyone they dont like. Or he could turn muslim and put that Jihad on people (cant spell the word I want to).
Or he should just order a huge bombing on some place just to make a statement. |

Maybe I am wrong, but I could have sworn that the US attacked Afghanistan first. The Neos just considered it a done deal and attacked Iraq next.
Those of us who knew the afghans thought it was the dumbest of ideas not to finish of what they started, but what could we do?
Bitch to every american we met that thier government screwed the pooch?
We tried that and were called anti americans. Go figure, it takes a fuckup to make an american think they are loved.
Now we get to say we told you so.
(p.s. If you are an american and you didn't hear the complaints from us prior to Iraq - ask your media why)
This isn't a hindsight argument - some of us callled it from the first. Though I was wrong in that I didn't see the support for Saddam once they went in.
I wish the response from the Iraqis was less violent, but I still believed that there was a 1991 support for an invasion. I was wrong, for that I am sorry. |

Just a bunch of sad losers with no imagination who are trying to smear Obama the same way they successfully smeared Clinton. And that says a lot about the republican party, NO innovation! |

This brings to mind something my minister said a couple years ago:
"Satan is not creative. He always destroys lives in the same ways." |

ummm...can you imagine the amount of tail Obama gets thrown at him?
I'd be surprised if he WASN'T (or hasn't been) diddling around. It might be close to impossible though ...to get a free, private moment. I wonder how often he gets freaky with Michelle..
Anyway, National Inquirer? If it were actually TRUE, I think other news outlets would pick it up yes? Maybe the White House is scrambling like crazy to cover something up right at this moment! |

I'd say it goes in the Idiot forum if there was one. |

However, this subject is too, well, idiotic, even for there.  |

If your clock is worth millions of dollars and can disrupt the business of the most powerful nation on earth and humiliate the leader of the free world, I'm in! |
