Obama can't even close Gitmo. I suspect his inability to end the war in Afghanistan is more due to his lack of ability to lead than anything else.

rofl i love dumb posts like this. U think the president has any power anymore???? it doesnt matter which party he belongs to, congress belongs to lobbyists. lobbyists work for the corporations. If there is money to be made in Afghanistan (whether its oil pipes or defense contrats worth billions), then it will continue. The president of the US position was losing power back in the days of Eisenhower (remember his warning speech upon exiting about the military industrial complex?), how helpless do u think the current president is now? The corporations have been chipping away at the presidents power for over 50 years, he simply doesnt have the power.

The US debt is insane, but americans seem oblivious to it and are just carrying on. Where are the demonstrations???? where are the journalists screaming at the insanity of the national debt? nowhere in site, instead ppl like u come on the internet and say oh its the presidents fault.

The president has the power. He does not have the gonads to expand political capital on doing such things.

Having served in the Senate; he also knew that this wold happened well before now; but he said what people wanted to hear rather than the truth.And he is still doing so.

I haven't seen a single link stating that any of those that killed Osama were part of this team that went down. When this first occurred, I remember seeing on the TV news (NBC, CBS - I forget) that they explicitly stated that the crew that took out Osama was not on the helicopter. They could have been lying, don't know. But I didn't think it was conspiracy.

You have any credible links besides youtube?

That's because none of them killed Osama in the first place. If none of them killed him, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody who did kill him.

They're busy screaming that the republicans are evil for not expanding the debt cieling without assurances of spending cuts.

Because you see, wanting there to be limits on the deficit is WRONG. Liberals are....right....err, left.

Pretty much. I don't buy into the "Obama wants to wreck the US" I think it's "Obama is just incompetent."

No.--say Nebor.

Nebor at his finest. An unceasing advocate of lies, propaganda, that only fools himself.

Why have you always had such a hard time figuring out how to quote correctly?

Either he's a bot that can't learn, or he's some third world retard that came to America and is already stretching his intellect to it's limit in producing his tidbits of regurgitated terrorist talking points in broken English.

Why should such a supercilious distinction make any difference to you?

If you can't be honest and rebut the point I made, why grasp at some straw, because everyone on this forum had no trouble understanding the point I made.

Now please be honest JD50 and don't duck the question, should the US military be honest to the American people? Yes or no will due. A well reasoned and thought out position would be much better, but being supercilious is an empty answer that feeds no bulldogs.

I don't know about him, but I'm on some forums with no quote button. As such, I sometimes almost copy/paste even when I DO have a quote button.

Because it makes your posts incredibly hard to read...:rolleyes:

Why are you asking me a question like we've been having an ongoing conversation? I think Nebor maybe onto something with regards to you being a bot.
