And where did they finally find those pesky WMD's Rummy told us about?
Welcome home, boys.
Welcome home, boys.
Fvck yeah Obama.
Tying up all Bush's unfinished business.

Does this mean we can fix our schools/infrastructure/healthcare/financial system now?

No
No
Time to invade Iran then. The oil will totally finance the war. No worries!
You're letting perfect be the enemy of good. Or rather, you're letting perfect be the enemy of not-quite-as-much-of-a-total-and-complete-clusterfvck-as-if-we'd-elected-McCain...
Osama's dead.
Qaddafi's dead.
Mubarak's gone.
The last 40,000 US combat troops are leaving Iraq.
Soldiers are beginning to come home from Afghanistan.
Just because I wish that Obama went further (FAR further) in cutting back our military presence around the globe doesn't mean I'm not going to commend him on the things that he is doing.
Still ain't gonna help

The presence of dictators elsewhere in the world doesn't bug me, so their downfall brings me no great pleasure, on the other hand. The world is unjust. People who are being repressed should be the ones that take their own destiny into their own hands. We shouldn't be picking up the bill in any sense.
I am thankful that Osama bin Laden is out of the picture, on the other hand, but that was more an action of the military than of the executive branch, per se.
Not really sure how you justify Murabak making that list as if it's an Obama/American victory?
He was after all largely viewed as an American sycophant and deposed by the great unwashed in a people power (largely) peaceful revolution.
Yet he still polls better than any Republican "running" for president.
What is replacing the dictators?
Muslim brotherhood
Hows that working out for Egypt eh?

The Muslim brotherhood have not replaced Mubarak.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces are running the show.

Yeah that means ANY of them could beat Obama right now.Huh. I guess I hadn't heard that Generic Republican was running for president.
Obama is trying to run against congress because he can't run on his record.
No. What it means is that any republican with an actual name and a campaign can't beat him right now.
Lol. "Generic Politician" is about as meaningless as any of the rest of HK's posts... Was true in 2004 too.
Only HK could turn a positive, uplifting topic into a political name calling fight/turf war. Wow, what a dick you are.
Well look who's running
. That GOP debate the other day was hilarious
So, "generic" republican polls better than any of your actual candidates and you take that as a victory? OK.
It bugs me when we prop them up. You don't think the people of Bahrain shouldn't have a problem with the US government right now?
Yep. Washington didn't want Mubarak going anywhere. He was also a great friend (for a large price) to Israel.
Good point. Our hands are very dirty if you count monetary and military support to oppressive regimes.
It's not like we're crushing them under our bootheel on purpose though. They just happen to be ants where we need to park a fleet of warships. It's not personal.
Besides, they are Arabs. They only understand the language of force.
what a waste of lives
Yes. These five words stopped me in my tracks. I hope it does others as well.
Considering the source and the price he paid if those words don't cause sober reflection I don't know what will.
Wow I used "sober" in a sentence with reference to GFF. I promise I'll never do it again mate!
rendition isn't free
while i wouldn't call it a waste, i don't think 'investment' is the right word, either
push?
Well said.
I'm glad it's coming to an end.
It would be nice if we can get out of Afghanistan in the near future as well.
Lol, I'm not quite so sure his "Vote for me and I'll raise taxes on the poorest 84% of Americans" slogan is going to resonate with that many Americans...
What, have you not been reading the news lately? Even Cain is modifying/explaining/backing down/tweaking/etc so that it exempts people under $22k, which of course will mean that a) people earning the median income of $50k/year will still face a $4500 tax increase and b) suddenly it won't raise enough money to be revenue neutral.
