42. I think the SHOCKING part

Thu Sep 11, 2014, 05:26 PM

Sep 2014

Is that a Democratic President is now enacting similar policies and using similar rhetoric that the neocons used in the build up to the Iraq war..... Obama's line about 'if you threaten America, you will find no safe haven" sounds eerily familiar to "if you aren't with us your against us"..

Now you have Russia chiming in about UN security council approval for which they will veto any airstrikes in Syria..... This whole thing is a mess with no good outcome..

Obama should have stayed cool and stayed out of it.... I listen to his speech and found massive amounts of hypocrisy.... You can't be against war and be ok strating wars.....

Some of us are truly against war ISIS didn't bomb us, ISIS is no imminent thrat no matter how many times FOX news says it is, sure they executed a couple of captured journalists but if the President is using that matrix we should be at war in Columbia, Venezuela, and most of the African countries.....

PEACE !!
