After 9_11_ Ten Years of War

It took us just 4 years to roll over Hirohito and Hitler. Only 3 years in Korea. 10+ years in Vietnam now 10+ years War on Terror.

Any guess on how this is gonna' come out? Wake up people.
Because America has become a spineless nation from listening to the do good lefties. Vietnam was a quagmire because johnson wanted to micro manage it. If we went in to actually win we would not be where we are today. I am glad we went after abl and hussein, but we should just give the orders and let the military handle it their way.
 
The 2008 Mumbai attacks (often referred to as 26 November or 26/11) were more than 10 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across Mumbai, India's largest city, by Muslim terrorist attackers[5][6] who invaded from Pakistani seawaters.[7] The attackers received reconnaissance assistance before the attacks, and when later captured stated that the attacks were conducted with the support of Pakistan's secret service, the ISI.[8][9] The attacks, which drew widespread global condemnation, began on Wednesday, 26 November and lasted until Saturday, 29 November 2008, killing 164 people and wounding at least 308.[2][10]

Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi Trident,[11] the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower,[11] Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital (a women and children's hospital),[11] the Nariman House Jewish community centre,[12] the Metro Cinema,[13] and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College.[11] There was also an explosion at Mazagaon, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at Vile Parle.[14] By the early morning of 28 November, all sites except for the Taj hotel had been secured by Mumbai Police and security forces. An action by India's National Security Guards (NSG) on 29 November (the action is officially named Operation Black Tornado) resulted in the death of the last remaining attackers at the Taj hotel, ending all fighting in the attacks.[15]

Ajmal Kasab,[16] the only attacker who was captured alive, disclosed that the attackers were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based militant organisation, considered a terrorist organisation by India, Pakistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United Nations,[17] among others.[18] The Indian government said that the attackers came from Pakistan, and their controllers were in Pakistan.[19] On 7 January 2009,[20] Pakistan's Information Minister Sherry Rehman officially accepted Ajmal Kasab's nationality as Pakistani.[21] On 12 February 2009, Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik asserted that parts of the attack had been planned in Pakistan.[22] A trial court on 6 May 2010 sentenced Ajmal Kasab to death on five counts.

This kind of shit does not win credibility. To the Contrary, it cries out for Justice. Might want to think about that when planning the next Party. Just a thought.
 
World War II is prime example how the government can spend a country out of a recession. It's worked time and time again. This time the problems just too big. The moneys didn't go where they were meant to because the states are so broke governors found loopholes allowing them to plug their budget gaps.

Get ready folks because we are going for a long ride down the toilet.

Your forgetting our allies spent a lot of money during WW 2 also.

Interesting you would post that. What are you implying? The total Costs of the War on Terror, including Iraq and Afghan, PALE in comparison to the amount of Money Obama as spent since being in office, and are Tiny compared to the Debts Entitlement programs are heaping upon us.

We only need entitlements because our economy has been sucked dry by the military industrial complex.



You are a complete fucking idiot.

First Entitlements cost way more than the Military does, each and every year.


Second, Spending on Defense goes mostly to US defense Contractors that employee hundreds of Thousands of Americans.

Why do you guys want to cause the lay offs of so many Americans by Cutting defense spending?

LOL

What he is forgetting, or Rather ignoring, is a big difference between that spending and this spending.

the Spending in WWII that helped lift us out of a Depression was the Government buying goods (like Guns, and Bullets, Tanks, Planes, Trucks, Etc) From PRIVATE SECTOR companies.

The Spending we are doing now, is all government spending, on government Projects. There is no real Benefit in the Private sector. It is the Private Sector, and only the Private Sector that will get us out of this mess. So unless you are for the Government buying shit tons of Goods from US manufacturers to fight a World War, I would not count on government spending to lift us out of anything.

The Type of Spending Obama wants to do, and has done, Does not stimulate Private Sector Growth, It simply gives you some Short Term Jobs, and some Short Term GDP growth. Not a Sustainable Recovery.
