| 1. Are they surprised or just trying to |
|
find some hook to slam the President on what he's trying to accomplish?
They know nothing that intelligence knows about the dangers we're facing..but, their point of view is more important bc it's anti-war.
I don't like war either but neither do I like sitting back when the fomenting over there is to bomb more civilians around the Globe..it's not just about the USA keeping safe and Obama said that in his rally the Troops speech..he said a lot more too about how we support them back home..and he's right.

| 5. Of course that's what they wanted. |
|
They also wanted him to bulldoze the Pentagon and establish a Department of Peace in a building shaped like a dove.
