		<description>Hey, # 25 JHARP you said: 

&quot;No matter what you say about Obama at least he hasn’t started a second war against someone that was no threat to us and diverting valuable resources away from Afghanistan. And in the process getting 4,500 killed, 30,000 maimed, and blowing a trillion taxpayer dollars for nothing.&quot;

Up through 2003 Saddam was killing 40,000 of his own citizens a year, so those US soldiers gave their lives and limbs to save 240,000 Iraqis and still counting, and to kill about 60,000 or more foreign jihadis who streamed to Iraq to make trouble, and they put 12 WMD scientists permanently out of business who all confirmed that Saddam ordered them, on pain of being thrown feet first into a plastic shredder, to reconstitute their evil programs, any one of which could have killed millions. And Kaddafi gave up his nuke program. And Justice was served with the Master of the Rape Rooms, who paid people $25,000 to become suicide bombers, dancing at the end of a rope with his two evil sons returned to dust. So next time don&#039;t forget to mention those great accomplishments of our Brave Soldiers. You disserve those brave men and women when you forget to mention what they accomplished by freeing 50,000,000 men, women and imprisoned children, for which the Kurds ultimately layed flowers at their feet.</description>

		<description>&quot;What we should have done after 9/11, he said, was to have spent some of those billions of dollars we spent prosecuting a war in Iraq on bringing our enemies to the United States and educating them about our way of life. Then they would come to understand and love us.&quot;

Oh that one is rich. Here are two absurdities about that statement:

1. The guys who perpetrated 9/11 had already been living &quot;our way of life&quot; in the U.S. for quite some time. Apparently they enjoyed it, but it didn&#039;t exactly win their affections.

2. Since the Left already hates American culture, would they really want the Islamists to love it? Hell, you can&#039;t get through a day without hearing some liberal complain about the American &quot;way of life&quot;. 

That&#039;s a Leftist for you... When Islamists hate America, they apologize for them (if not actively support them). If Islamists were to suddenly start loving America, Lefties would start holding them in the same contempt that they hold all the &quot;fly-over&quot; people right now.</description>

		<description>Obama has decided to accept the politically expedient course of taking the middle road, being moderate, by splitting the difference on whether to send General McChrystal the 40,000 troops he says is vital to wining in Afghanistan.  At first I hoped McChrystal had highballed his estimate in the number requested in anticipation of just such a cowardly response from Obama.  Now we learn he actually lowballed his estimate by 10,000 troops, he actually feels we need 50,000 troops.  What he gets remains to be seen but I quarantine it won’t be enough.  Or soon enough.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;20. Yes We Did:
 

This is just another cowardly, racist attack on our new Leader.

In case you didn’t notice, we had an election last November. We won, you lost, and you will never get another chance.

President Obama, who is loved and respected by the great majority of progressive Americans, will lead us onward into a new world of peace and justice. It is long past time for you racist white men to shut up and go away. Your time is past – gone and never to return.


Oct 7, 2009 - 4:53 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;
YOU GOT CUT OFF AT THE PASS;
12. Cybergeezer:
 

Anybody telling the White House Dunce that there are bus loads of black voters going to Afghanistan to meet their death?


Oct 7, 2009 - 1:13 pm
14. Cybergeezer:
 

Obama’s cashing in, big time, on the “U.S. RACE INDUSTRY”, just like Rev. Wright, Farakhan, J. Jackson, Sharpton, Rangel, AND MANY FOLLOWERS, etc.
One of the fastest growing industries in America.
