137. I disagree with your war mongering name calling.....

Jan 2012

as there is no evidence to that.

Does the US still have enemies in this world? Yes
Did Pres. Obama just end the war in Iraq? Yes
Is Pres. Obama ramping down Afghanistan after doing what he said he would do there while campaigning in 2008? Yes
Is our Defense Spending being put on the table for cuts for the first time in a very long time? Yes
Who started the Afghanistan war? Bush
Who started the Iraq war? Bush
Who saber rattled at Iran? Bush

Who is wrong about their assessement on our current foreign policy as well as whether Hillary would have been better (without offering evidence of this)? akbacchus_BC

Who should be more concerned about the fact that their government in Canada is much more conservative than it has been in a very long time? akbacchus_BC

But thanks for playing! At least you sound coherent in your post this time, even if there are no facts associated with your statements in it.
