Is Obama Lying Us Into Another War In The Middle East For Oil?

35. No

Hitler was not a threat in 1933. And MANY opportunities to limit, contain or otherwise influence the situation inside of Germany were missed between 1933 and 1939. Truth is, the out come of the end of WW I (in 1918) is the PRIME cause of the rise of Nazi Germany. Even by '39 when he started moving into the Rhineland (the soldiers that marched in had no bullets in their guns and were under orders to turn around if confronted) and making moves towards Austria there were relatively "peaceful" efforts that could and should have been done.

Now, back to the subject at hand, what Obama is doing is the usual assertion that acts of violence will somehow accomplish something useful in the long run. Mind you there is little evidence in history of the long term usefulness of "pre-emptive war" but none the less, he is enamored with the use of violence, especially from the air, he is once again sending out the Secretary of State to advocate for the use of military power to achieve foreign policy goals.
