It's just too bad that he's using all of those assets to try and fuck us out of our money and liberty.

i got news for you, our troops will be hanging out and getting their asses shot off no matter what Obama decides, unless he brings them home. They are not sitting in limbo right now, waiting for a decision, they are doing their jobs, like they've been trying to do for 8 years now. By the way, exactly what do you want them to do so we can declare victory and they can come home? Does the Taliban have to surrender?

Obama states during the race, that he will withdraw all fighting troops within 16 months from Iraq and send AT LEAST 2 more fighting Units to Afghanistan.

It pays to remember yesterdays news at times.
If one has read them that is, of course.

Sorry, no one´s been duped.

No, I think he was referring to Mexican criminals invading the US.

I think thats already been done by Bush & Co... however, I think its unfair to judge Obama at such an early stage. Like I said, I am not a fan, and all am saying is that he is in a better position to lead America in the right direction than Bush was. You gora admit, he is more educated.

Besides, Bush served for 2 terms and many of you here supported him to the end while he was ****ing your country out of its money and libery and infact, the impact is still there, you are still living it. So bear in mind, Obama inherited all that sht.....

He has already lied his way into office. He is also supporting amounts of pork that are literally unfathomable by normal people.

Is he really? Bush went to Yale and Harvard.

Why does it matter, anyway? They use their knowledge to fuck us out of our money and liberty.

The 0 has done more than enough of his own harm as it is and he deserves the credit for that and Bush deserves credit for what he did. Neither one's actions absolve the other's from their own actions in many cases. For instance, what did Bush do to make the 0 agree to smoking cessation programs (part of Porkulus if I remember correctly)?

This article makes an accusation, then provides no legal basis for it. Under what statutes might we be violating international law?

I would have expected an article in a legal publication to have at least a shred of legal substance.....
