We are part of NATO. We really had not much choice. Any casual dipshit should have known that deposing Mubarek would usher in the Muslim Brotherhood. Any casual dipshit should have known that deposing Gaddafi would usher in chaos. Any casual dipshit should have known that making hollow threats in Syria would have been an embarrassment. In Iraq and Afghanistan we stayed long enough, until stupid came along, to at least get a semblance of stability. Then stupid let chaos come in.
The President's greatest power is in foreign affairs. Stupid has produced one failure after another and the Clinton cunt helped him. Congress rules domestic. Or is supposed to. Unfortunately the weeper in chief had the cojones of a gelding. The American people snatched control of the Congress from the Democrats specifically to counter Obama and the Republican leadership totally ignored the voters who put them on top.

Obama just vetoed a defense budget bill.
While I agree some rather expensive and wasteful spending but just as Clinton's cuts made us go into Iraq without body armor so it is with obamla .
A real war is brewing.
I would scrape the f22 and not mothball the A 10 . The USA now has no official CAS aircraft. Just the idiocy of most of the "modern presidents " they were crooks for the last century.
I'm glad to see Ben Carson doing well. I won't vote Trump not saying he would blow up the world . In fact he might do an OK job he would surround himself with smart people.
I like a few others but really looks like after the primary I'm voting 3 rd party again.
Maybe the people's tax payers party just for the fuck of it all. I'm in a strange blue state.

Ha. The teapublicans just have a big mouth in congress. Some of the more favorable Republican candidates are actually very moderate. I'd take a center-leaning Republican over the loony ass left any day.

hahahaha... 50 years ago the democrat party supported slavery and they didnt switch platforms, the democrats switched tactics, they still keep blacks suppressed and broke while encouraging them to support this modern slavery through 'freebies' from the government. it was clearly proven in the debate when all the candidate kept promising 'free stuff if you vote for me'. unfortunately, to qualify for the free stuff, you have to be of specific ethnicity and poor.

For what possible reason would the US want to fuck with Libya? Or Great Britain for that matter. But the idiot French had motivation. Do you think that in the lead up to that idiocy everything the French said was a cover story for a senseless act of American adventurism? The Nato treaty kind of obligates us. If we don't help them they won't help us later.

There are fools and damned fools, you can help the one but not the other.
>Do you think that in the lead up to that idiocy everything the French said was a cover story for a senseless act of American adventurism?
You mean like Syria, Afghanistan, the ongoing occupation of Iraq, those kinds of senseless adventures your hero obumble always embarks upon? He is furiously intent on dislodging assad, before that it was kadafi he wanted out and he got him out. Before either of them it was saddam. I know you are happy anytime an arab is dead but this all fits the pattern. Obumble wanted an excuse and got it.

We aren't doing shit in Syria, your hero Putin is. Iraq and Afghanistan were completely necessary. Gaddafi had been pacified and even agreed to pay reparations. There was no US interest that could have been furthered by taking him out.

Oh you mean right now at this moment? What about before that? Do you ever read the papers or watch tv? Obumble was totally gung ho for a full invasion and had to settle for mucking around which he did at great cost to our nation. Even now the idiot is bombing a power station and killing more civilians. Also dropping loads of munitions in the desert to stir the pot.
>Iraq and Afghanistan were completely necessary.
They were not only unnecessary but also counter productive to our interests. Iraq is now a shit hole and will soon be under the control of isis/ al quaida. Afghanistan is where world powers go to die. Russia learned a lesson there but our idiots still haven't learned. Now he is paying Karzai the two bit dictator over there for the privilege of us staying and spending billions more.
>Gaddafi had been pacified and even agreed to pay reparations. There was no US interest that could have been furthered by taking him out.
Since when has that meant anything to obumble? He wanted kadaffi out and got him out. Why does he want assad out? It would turn the country over to isis just as Libya is going and Iraq will go later. You support isis? Why?

No he wasn't. I do read the papers. I do not watch TV news. At no point was Obama gung ho for an invasion. If he had been he would have done itQuote:

Karzai is not the President of Afghanistan. Do you read the newspapers?Quote:

Sorry. I hate the man but there is no reason whatsoever to paint him as a war monger. That is just stupid. He caused two ill-advised withdrawals and didn't do shit in either Syria or Libya. Flying a few bombing runs is not invading. If anything he is a total pussy.
That being said I would have done nothing in Syria and nothing more than what we did to fulfill our NATO obligations which was a few bombing runs.

Sometimes I wonder if you are playing dumb for sympathy. Obumble asked congress to authorize war, it did not. He threatened to go in anyway, said he has a pen and a phone. He did it half assed and it sputtered out as we have seen. Putin now shows him how to do things. A few links to refresh your memory since it seems to have faded out.
