TomAiello 26 #52 September 14, 2009 Quote Most of the Dem's that got the title "Anti-war" were in fact not anti-war.... they were just anti-war without a cause. Now that we're fighting in Afghanistan we have a cause, which should have been our cause during the Bush administration, to get Bin Laden and the guys who caused 9/11.

DanG 1 #53 September 14, 2009 QuoteYou bought the whole jug of kool-aid, didn't you? She didn't buy the whole jug. I have some, too. So do many, many people I know. Can you admit that all wars are not created equal? If you are so anti-war that you can't see the justification of any armed conflict, then you are in a serious minority. You may think the Afghanistan war is not justified, but there are a lot of Americans who think it is. Way more than people who think the Iraq war is justified. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Way more than people who think the Iraq war is justified. I doubt it. I think people just aren't as tired of Obama's war yet, like they were tired of Bush's war.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #55 September 14, 2009 um no. There was MUCH more controversy against going into Iraq than going into Afghanistan. So it's not merely a matter of "getting tired." Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,071 #56 September 14, 2009 > I think people just aren't as tired of Obama's war yet, like they were tired >of Bush's war. ?? Which is which? Obama is commander in chief of the military serving in Iraq; are you claiming that's not "his war" but Afghanistan is? What criteria are you using to decide which is whose war? Bush started both. Obama is now in charge of both. Anything else is just another tired political talking point used to support "your guy" - and people are _definitely_ very sick of that shit.

FallingOsh 0 #58 September 15, 2009 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuote But I see a lot of grass roots tea party folks who understand that main issue, and want to help. Disagree. They are a bunch of hypocrites who just want to complain about Obama. Next Republican spendthrift in the White House and they will quiet down again. If you loathe Bush's spending and deficits but refuse to acknowledge the record shattering deficits by Obama, wouldn't that exactly fit your definition of hypocracy? Gettting out of the wreckage of 20 years of Voodoo Economics was never going to be cheap. You DO know that much of the spending you criticize as Obama's was instituted by Paulson, right? And that just proves my point. You're ok with the Obama administration's spending (even though you blame it on others) but critisize Bush. It's the same hypocracy you're whining about the tea partiers showing.... and even funnier because it's hypocracy about being a hypocrit. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
