So then you admit he is a president most concerned with his polling.<br /><br /><i>and staying and fighting the 'real war,' was an Obama campaign pledge.</i><br /><br />Yes, and he pledged to close Guantanamo. But, as we know, that will never happen. Meanwhile, campaign pledges are always dubious. They may sound good and they may draw some votes, but with respect to Afghanistan, the question of our goals is unanswered -- which plays into the hands of muslims.<br /><br />They are willing to fight a war of attrition -- they will keep at it until we are exhausted and quit. <br /><br />As the leaders of the Taliban and al-Qaeda repeat -- they love death more than we love life. Hence, their combat losses mean very little to them as long as there are more fighters ready to die. Muslims do not see victory and defeat as we do. That is a problem.<br /><br />Iran and Iraq fought for eight years -- 1980 to 1988 -- fighting to a stalement which killed a million.<br /><br />But the US beat the crap out of Iraq in 100 hours in 1991 and thoroughly and totally destroyed the Iraqi military in several weeks in 2003.<br /><br /><i>But, to be expected, you walked away from your initial premise...Obama's love for Muslims.</i><br /><br />He has repeatedly given his sympathy and support to muslims over those with whom they fight.<br /><br />The restrictive Rules of Engagement controlling US troops are a huge benefit to muslim fighters. <br /><br /><i>Were that true, Obama would've pulled troops almost two years ago, and wouldn't have stepped up drone attacks in Pakistan.</i><br /><br />Inasmuch as muslims -- especially the leaders -- have no regard for human life, it matters little to them if a few die when they meet US forces. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the drone attacks in Pakistan help the corrupt Pakistani leadership maintain its power. Otherwise, Pakistan might surrender to the Taliban, which would put nuclear weapons in their hands.<br /><br />However, if Obama truly wanted to stop that event, he would destroy Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. Instead, he is frittering around, killing a few 7th-century fighters to pass the time until they and the Iranians get their hands on nuclear weapons.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-5542618859889566472010-06-27T17:58:13.872-04:002010-06-27T17:58:13.872-04:00no_slappz said...'He will allow US soldiers to...no_slappz said...'<i>He will allow US soldiers to die to protect his image. He will also risk much more. The Soviet Union came undone because it stayed in Afghanistan, fighting for no rational purpose. The US is at that point -- and he knows it.'</i><br /><br />The irrationality of your statements are remarkable for their irrationality.<br /><br />Bush saw no need to abandon the war in Afghanistan, nor saw a need to actually win there. <br /><br />To solidify his resolve, he picked up, and went to Iraq. That's the ticket, fight al-Qaeda in Iraq, so we don't have to fight them in Afghanistan, and Pakistan.<br /><br />Obama's war there is not quite two-years old and, I agree, he should have pulled troops when 'W' left office, but you know, and I know, that the howl on the Right would have been deafening...and staying and fighting the 'real war,' was an Obama campaign pledge.<br /><br />But, to be expected, you walked away from your initial premise...Obama's love for Muslims.<br /><br />Were that true, Obama would've pulled troops almost two years ago, and wouldn't have stepped up drone attacks in Pakistan.<br /><br />Your claims are magically appearing rabbits in hats, pulled out by the ears to impress idiots, and the misinformed.<br /><br />Already you're dispensing future claims, from an overstocked dispenser, about how Obama will act if X happens. <br /><br />Wow, what impeccable logic, or lack thereof. Using drone attacks in Pakistan, Obama kills Muslims, enraging many Pakistani Muslims, because he loves Muslims.<br /><br />Because he loathes the killing of innocent Muslims is proof positive of that love.<br /><br />Obama continues to fight in Afghanistan, where daily our international coalition of troops are killing both the guilty and the innocent, but Obama is staying, for 'no rational purpose,' than to 'protect his [I have mad love for Muslims] image'.<br /><br />To top off this carefully baked soufflé of reasoning, you would have me believe that our coalition partners in the region are supporting 'rules of engagement' that are endangering their troops, as well, to appease Obama's love of Muslims, and lack of commitment to killing them.<br /><br />It's good to know that we have our own man, in you no_slappz, on the White House's <i>National Security Team</i>.<br /><br />I can't tell you how comforting I find that.Zinghttp://media.skateboard.com.au/forum/images/I_like_that_ZING.gifnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-63826499069473059922010-06-27T09:06:16.049-04:002010-06-27T09:06:16.049-04:00zing,
You show the standard dopiness of people w...zing, <br /><br />You show the standard dopiness of people who cannot comprehend the Israeli/Palestinian issue combined and compounded by the sympathies of our former muslim president.<br /><br />The article you linked to your post -- about aid to Israel -- was part of the dopiness.<br /><br />For some reason Israel is expected to install a defensive rocket "shield" as a form of protection from the murderous efforts of the killers in the Gaza Strip.<br /><br />Of course, in most of the world, when one nation fires weapons at targets in another nation, the firing is considered an act of war that is countered with a retaliatory strike.<br /><br />Thus, if Israel were not pressured by Obama to operate only in a defensive mode, Israel would return fire whenever rockets were fired. <br /><br />But Obama is so supportive of Hamas and the Palestinians that he wants Israel to put up a rocket umbrella while patiently waiting for the Palestinians to complete their rocket barrages.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Obama knows that Hamas is a terrorist organization that states in its charter its goal of destroying Israel and driving all Jews out of the middle east. Yet Obama treats this elected terrorist government with respect. As though its goals are legitimate.<br /><br />As long as Hamas controls the Gaza Strip, there is NO chance it will agree to the creation of a Palestinian state that abuts Israel. But Obama pretends otherwise. <br /><br />As you quoted:<br /><br /><i>...a program that the United States can't afford and that doesn't work in establishing a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.</i><br /><br />Apparently you cannot see the obvious. The quote makes the point. It says there can be no peace between Israel and the Palestinians as long as there are Israelis on the patch of ground the Palestinians want.<br /><br />As for the Petraeus Rules of Engagement statement -- well, since Big Mouth Biden and Obama have said US troops are to begin leaving Afghanistan next summer, the Taliban and other terrorist, muslim fundamentalist groups can rest easy for the next year, but take a few pot shots at US troops when the shooting looks easy.<br /><br />Yes, Petraeus wants to let those itchy trigger fingers go to work. But if he does and a few civilians are shot, which will happen because muslim fighters mingle with civilians for protection, then Obama will restrain Petraeus.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Obama still supports Karzai, which means Obama fully understands what will happen in Afghanistan after we leave. Since he knows all hope for democracy, freedom and capitalism will collapse after US forces leave, he should act now. But rather than act honestly, he's acting politically.<br /><br />He will allow US soldiers to die to protect his image. He will also risk much more. The Soviet Union came undone because it stayed in Afghanistan, fighting for no rational purpose. The US is at that point -- and he knows it.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-74332522509156018932010-06-27T01:09:22.593-04:002010-06-27T01:09:22.593-04:00no_slappz said..."His behavior is not politic...<a rel="nofollow">no_slappz</a> said...<i>"His behavior is not politics. His muslim sympathies are real. They are the true Obama."</i><br /><br />And you remain consistently, irrefutably misinformed. Self-inflicted ignorance is a wound that can be easily healed.<br /><br />Google is a 'magic bullet' for this type of affliction.<br /><br />Here's one <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/12/politics/main6201484.shtml" rel="nofollow"> link</a> out of hundreds, which, if taken on a full stomach, and a empty head, might help.<br /><br /><i>"Obama has shown he supports the Palestinians over Israel and he is standing by while Iran obtains a nuclear weapon that Ahmadenijad has promised to use against Israel.</i><br /><br />More poppycock...more drivel not founded in the truth, nor supported by the facts.<br /><br />Here's what anti-Israel Obama has proposed for Israel, just this year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/05/14/Obama-seeks-US-military-aid-to-Israel/UPI-85911273856559/" rel="nofollow">Obama seeks U.S. military aid to Israel.</a><br /><br />Facing criticism for proposing aid increases to Israel, that will deepen this nation's deficit, we have this...<br /><br /><i>"One week later, he [Obama] sent his FY2011 budget request to Congress, which included a <b>record-breaking $3 billion in military aid to Israel</b>.<br /><br />"This requested increase in U.S. weapons to Israel -- part of a ten-year $30 billion agreement signed between the two countries in 2007 -- qualifies on both counts as a program that the United States can't afford and that doesn't work in establishing a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians."</i><br /><br />This Obama, described above, is a far cry from the one that you described. <br /><br />What am I to believe...your unsubstantiated 'day dream reality,' or the 'sun light reality' of the facts?<br /><br />"In Afghanistan Obama's Rules of Engagement have been so stringent that enemy fighters have operated freely wherever they can find civilian cover. Meanwhile, he is trying to buy the Taliban with cash. That's a failed strategy."<br /><br />If that's the rug upon which you stand to make your ridiculous claim, well, that rug is about to be pulled from under you.<br /><br />Consider the following quote, with this telling, and provocative title... <br /><br /><a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/petraeus-to-modify-afghanistan-rules-of-engagement-get-ready-for-more-civilian-slaughter.html" rel="nofollow">Petraeus to Modify Afghanistan Rules of Engagement (Get Ready For More Civilian Slaughter)</a> <br /><br /><i>"Any adjustment to the rules of engagement does not mean the counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan will change. President Obama stressed Wednesday — after he accepted Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s resignation in the wake of a magazine article in which he and his staff were critical of the administration — that the change-up does not represent a shift in war policy."</i><br /><br />"Obama also said the muslim evening call to prayer is one of the most beautiful sounds there is."<br /><br />Your use of this statement to support your asinine claim is beyond ridiculous, and doesn't merit a response.<br /><br />A zinger from <i>Zing.</i><br /><br /><i>Information finds homes in libraries. Facts find homes in books. And Knowledge finds homes in both.

The world's leading source of Lithium is Bolivia. Bolivia is a nation of nitwit incompetent people who cannot manage a large-scale mining operation. The same is true for Afghanistan.<br /><br />Muslims, as they have proven for 1,400 years, lack the skills needed for running a successful mining operation. <br /><br />Anyway, lithium is not quite the new gold. It is not in short supply and even though some batteries contain lithium, global is easily met.<br /><br />If electric cars are to succeed, the success will result from batteries that are many times better than the best Lithium-Ion batteries now in use. Thus, lithium itself is NOT the key.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the vast bulk of revenue coming from sales of natural resources goes to the country where those resources are mined or produced. <br /><br />Like oil from Saudi Arabia or oil from Iraq -- the money goes to Riyadh and Baghdad. <br /><br />If the muslim morons were interested in building modern societies, they would learn how to run mining and oil operations, as well as learn how to handle all the other jobs necessary in a complex capitalistic society.<br /><br />But they want to increase their misery and submit to Islam, traits to which our president is sympathetic.no_slappzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207475509053402475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-79080852273812377392010-06-26T07:07:05.194-04:002010-06-26T07:07:05.194-04:00zing, regarding Obama's muslim heart, you wrot...zing, regarding Obama's muslim heart, you wrote:<br /><br /><i>You're living in a multilayered universe where you get to shape your reality...</i><br /><br />Face facts.

Obama had no choice in this situation.<br /><br />However, Obama's comments and his other inactivity prove his overwhelming hypocrisy.<br /><br />McChrystal gets booted for opening his mouth -- white doing his job.<br /><br />On the other hand, Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior -- who has been failing since Day One of this administration -- is still on the job.<br /><br />Obama said he would have fired BP's Tony Hayward. But he won't fire the guy who heads the agency that bears more responsibility for the Gulf Oil Leak than BP.<br /><br />Meanwhile, McChrystal's firing is going to increase awareness of the uselessness of staying in Afghanistan. Even though Obama stated his Afghanistan goals, the goals themselves are, according to Big Mouth Biden, meant for public consumption. Not as true military objectives.<br /><br />On this one we can trust Biden's careless comments. They reveal the true intent of the administration.

Way to split hairs. It is a common persuasive writing technique to infer a connection by volleying back and forth between two subjects.

According to his aide’s notes, Rumsfeld wants the “best info fast. Judge whether good enough to hit S.H. [Saddam Hussein] at same time.

Things related and not.” </i><br /><br /><i>[US Department of Defense, 9/11/2001 pdf file; US Department of Defense, 2/6/2006 pdf file] Earlier in the day, Cambone took notes for Rumsfeld that indicate Rumsfeld is keen to move against Iraq following the 9/11 attacks, even though he was aware there may be no connection between Iraq and 9/11 (see (2:40 p.m.) September 11, 2001).</i>Cocoa_Goddessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-29571159830212171142010-06-24T10:41:40.294-04:002010-06-24T10:41:40.294-04:00anon:
