D-Day Disgrace

[rightwinger]

And that Your New Messiah learned naught from the example is somehow heroic, right?

Actually, our Messiah was spot on in his assessment of Iraq. If only Bush had listened to our Messiah Obama instead of GOP Messiah Cheney

Which is why Gitmo was closed and all the troops were brought home from Iraq and Afghanistan exactly as promised, right on schedule, January 21st, 2009.

Yea.....who passed a law saying the President could not close Gitmo?

Remember Glenn Beck crying that Obama was going to move terrorists right next door to you?

Fear Mongering is what Republicans excell at

What, you've lost faith in His magical ability to make things happen with His pen and His phone? Do you not realize you've just pointed another of His abject failures?

Bush poisoned the well with Gitmo

Botched evidence, denial of rights and torture made it impossible to try them in a court of law

As usual, he left his mess for Obama

Who has proved His inability to clean up anything or to do anything at all right with the exceptions of apologizing and groveling.

obama disgraces the country one more time!



Obama Chomps On Gum During D-Day Anniversary Event?Update: France Not Happy | Weasel Zippers

To answer the question. Yes. It would kill him to show a little respect.

Yet another example in a long if not endless line of breach of Presidential Protocol by Obama.
I don't what's worse. A country redneck with little education who uses a wine glass as a spitoon or a guy with an Ivy League education with an ego the size of Alaska that thinks the rules apply to everyone else.

Chewing GUM?

Hope you have enough for everybody

The reason why HIllary isn't president now is because she let Bush steamroll her into going along with his foolish war.

If your best argument is 'Well, you all thought he had weapons, too!", that's not much of an argument. Iraq was a huge screwup, and there's no way you are ever putting lipstick on that pig.

So Hillary is that easily tricked? By dumb ole Bush?

It wasn't just our government claiming saddam had wmds it was world leaders as well.

It wasn't as big a screw up as you think. Saddam and his two evil sons are dead and Iraqis got a chance to experience democracy.

I'm sorry, did you eat paint chips as a child?

When a PResident asks his country and the world to go to war, he really has an obligation to be sure with metaphysical certitude.

not 'Well, we think he has weapons." That standard MIGHT be okay to impose sanctions or even bomb a facility you aren't sure about. It's not a good enough reason to invade a country and force regime change.

Was Saddam a bastard? Yup? Are Iraqis better off without him? Maybe not. Saddam's Iraq allowed more equality for women, for instance.

Bush gambled with our soldiers and lost big time

He thought he could send the mightiest Army on earth into Iraq and the Iraq Army would collapse after offering a token fight. Once that happened the Iraqi people would treat us as liberators and Bush would be a savior

Bushs advisors did a horrible job of anticipating the expected Civil War and it cost us 5000 lives

THAT is what a disgrace is

You are a Nazi. Hail Obama!!

What happened to crossing that RED LINE is Syria?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yes, Putin is a dictator, obama is a wannabe dictator. Putin is a man, obama is a pussy boy.

Explain how come then you support a dictator like Putin and hate a constitutionally elected president, Redfish.

Your type of thinking and speaking is why you folks have become within a year the social and political outcasts in America.

This cracks me up. I have RW'er on ignore so I only see his pathetic attempts to get paid, er, defend the boy king when someone quotes him. One of my liberal buddies used this same line of "reasoning" a year ago.

"Bu, bu, but the mean Republicans passed a law preventing Obama from closing Gitmo!"

Really? Just how does a party who only influences one third of the government pass a law without it first being approved and passed by the Dem controlled senate then signed into law by the Dem POTUS? How does that work again?

What did I miss in 6th grade civics class?

Kids in the House - Grade School - How a Bill Becomes a Law

So just to be clear, Dem Reid got the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 through the Dem Senate and Dem POTUS Obama signed it into law but the accepted Orwellian narrative is it is a law passed only by republicans preventing Obama from closing Gitmo?

"Yea.....who passed a law saying the President could not close Gitmo?"
That would be the President.


President Signs Defense Authorization Act

By Karen Parrish
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 2011 – Noting his objection to two of its provisions, President Barack Obama signed the fiscal 2011 defense authorization act into law Jan. 7.

The Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 is named for former U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton of Missouri, longtime chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who lost his House seat in November’s election.

“The act authorizes funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad, for military construction, and for national security-related energy programs,” the president wrote in a statement accompanying the signing’s announcement.

Obama registered “strong objections” to two of the act’s provisions related to transfer of detainees from the U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. One prohibits the use of funds appropriated by the act to transfer Guantanamo detainees into the United States, and the other bars the use of certain funds to transfer detainees to the custody or effective control of foreign countries unless specified conditions are met.

But despite his objections to the two sections, the president said in his statement, “I have signed this act because of the importance of authorizing appropriations for, among other things, our military activities in 2011.”

The act governs a wide range of Defense Department activities, including procurement; research, development, testing and evaluation; equipment operation and maintenance; military personnel authorizations and policy; and reserve-component management.

Obama didn't have the balls to stand firm on his campaign promise and veto the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011. There was too much push back from Dem congressmen, Dem senators and Dem governors who didn't want the Gitmo detainees in their state nor tried in civilian court for "crimes" instead of terrorism.

On the contrary, it gave him political cover. He and Holder's efforts to try the "criminals" in court went over like a fart in church. The home countries of these choir boys didn't want them back and not one state governor wanted them in a detention facility within his/her state.

So he signed the bill passed by Harry Reid's Dem Senate.

So why not trickle out the terrorists? Twice, our deserter's location was fixed and an extraction plan was proposed. Denied twice. Not worth the risk of losing loyal, highly trained SF troops to recover a deserter. So Obama goes rouge, breaks the law and trades five terrorist heavies for our deserter. What a guy.

They aren't "terrorists", dude. These guy, while really terrible people, really didn't do anything outside of Afghanistan.

We are going to have to let all these guys at Gitmo go eventually, anyway.

So your main beef against Obama is that he hasn't cleaned up Bush's mess fast enough?

good one

Bush gambled with our soldiers and lost big time

He thought he could send the mightiest Army on earth into Iraq and the Iraq Army would collapse after offering a token fight. Once that happened the Iraqi people would treat us as liberators and Bush would be a savior

Bushs advisors did a horrible job of anticipating the expected Civil War and it cost us 5000 lives

THAT is what a disgrace is

What you said did happen. What may have been not factored in is how murderous the Muslims could be. They did most of the killing.

I'm not sure how they couldn't have factored that in.

Oh, wait. Bush didn't know what the difference between a Sunni and a Shi'ite was before he invaded. That was kind of an important detail.

YOu mean, why would a 1400 year old conflict within Islam be a factor when invading a country where a Sunni Minority is oppressing a Shi'ite majority?

Yeah, blundering in with blind ignorance is a great idea. And when your top General tells you that 500,000 troops are needed, go in with only 120,000. That's going to work just fine.
