Democratic leadership more pro-war than GOP leadership

[KissMy]

Are you aware that your chart is proof that your claim is wrong?

Most other presidents spent most of their time with annual military spending in the 400 to 550 billion range.

Obama has been spending about 700 billion annually on the military his entire term in office.

so what. When he tries to cut the budget the right claims he is weak on defense. If he doesnt cut the budget,he spends more than others.

they always were blood thirsty...they just crow they are anti-war to hide it..

irrelevant to the rest.

day of rage..lol

Obama voted for Iraq and Afghanistan War Funding, continued Iraq war, escalated & claimed the Afghanistan War. He also funded & assisted revolution in 6 other countries. He also attacked 3 others. It's a good thing he got that peace prize early on.

so what? it started under Bush and ended under obama. They are not his babies.

What ended? It sure was not military spending!

 

[KissMy]

Obama is the biggest military spending president of all time. If we are not going to stand up to Syria, Russia & Iran, then why are we wasting all this money?

Democrats don't want war. They would just rather have a war than obama embarrassed and shown for what an amateur he is. It is something worth dying over. Or at least sending someone else to die for his pride. obama is being dissed. In the gang culture dissing is a death penalty offense. It is in the obama culture too.

This war is not about pride or chemical weapons. It is about weakening Iran & Russia's power over $170 trillion of Mideast oil & gas. Everything else is political game-play. We blew $1.5 trillion to topple Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Iran, Tunisia, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria to advance this agenda. Now everyone is pussing out over a little $1 billion Syria war that while we are so close to accomplishing our goal that may bring US a big win. All at a time when we are spending more than any military in history. Are we going to throw it all away over $1 billion war & snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

The Republicans are against Middle East intervention now the way they were against deficits when Clinton was president,

then they got a GOP president and that immediately ended,

then we got a Democratic president again and they were back on the anti-deficit bandwagon.

This is the same. If Romney were president he'd have bombed Syria by now with near unanimous GOP support.

Uhhh.. no.. many of us were completely against Bush II's spending like a DEM

It is about obama's vanity and nothing else. It was obama's foolish red line comment. That comment was made during the presidential campaign where he felt compelled to appear more presidential and in command. He was quite willing to ignore the chemical attack UNTIL he started being mocked and that comment brought up to haunt him. When people started laughing at him "what cha gonna do NOW big boy", he lashed out in the worst possible way.

As was reported in the LA Times:

Syria chemical weapons response poses major test for Obama - Los Angeles Times

One U.S. official who has been briefed on the options on Syria said he believed the White House would seek a level of intensity "just muscular enough not to get mocked" but not so devastating that it would prompt a response from Syrian allies Iran and Russia.

obama just didn't count on being pushed into a corner where his pride would be weighed against WWIII.

This isn't about oil or gas. This is about totally humiliating and annihilating obama personally and harming the power and credibility of the United States generally. This is chess, this is what global brinksmanship looks like. obama is outclassed. We let him be outclassed by artificially inflating his ego. Now it's the ego that can eat the world.

war the Obama way is good with them...just go and drop bombs on them and they don't have to think about the ALL the COLLATERAL DAMAGE...out of sight OUT of mine..

chicken hawks or chicken shits

Obama has turned into bloodthirsty killing machine and has turned turned Libya into a hell hole for the people of Libya, he helped in taking out Gaddafi then left the people to fend for themselves against the wolves... and the rest of the middle east into a hornet's nest....we are going to PAY for this...pray it's not another 9/11

Nah
McQuisling and Graham lead the way for both parties and both houses.

Everybody else is a shirker by comparison.

It is worse than that. obama actually believes that there will be no consequences from his little temper tantrum. He can just throw it, dust off his hands saying "I sure showed YOU" and nothing will happen. The spread of violent jihad will continue according to his wishes. Now the fool is trying to spread the unrest to Jordan. This is why the Mideast nations are so anti obama. Well, no one is pro obama, but they have their own reasons for being anti obama.

He's like the thugs that killed Chris Lane, dancing and twirling around the booking room because they had a right to kill a jogger. Justice for trayvon. Nothing is going to happen. They gots rights! It's the exact same mentality.

Meh, they had this disease before the boiking came along. They are firm believers that somebody must be dying at the business end of US weaponry 24/7/365.

*SMH* You fell for the party bullshit. We had to have a reason to go to war with Syria to continue the Mideast plan. Drawing a red line on banned illegal chemical weapons is the only legal way to achieve that. Now we are falling down over stupid party politics.

It is time to put party politics aside & back our president for the good of the country.

Nonsense

Politics aside, jingoism is never a valid replacement for reason and rational thought.

Democrats find out that democrats lied.
Rep. Alan Grayson: Syria Intelligence Manipulated - Washington Whispers (usnews.com)

What a surprise. Not that democrats lied, but the discovery would bother democrats in the first place.

What Americans should do is NOT back the president, but start impeachment proceedings against him immediately just to show the world that we do not "back" this wannabe thug. If we start the procedure to get rid of him, maybe we can avoid having it done for us.

Nonsense

Politics aside, jingoism is never a valid replacement for reason and rational thought.

There is no rational for throwing away all the lives & wealth spent to bring about "constructive chaos” plan to build the “New Middle East” when we are so close to the end goal.

That rational thought debate took place before the wars started. Politics now is just self defeating sabotage.
