Republicans lecturing Obama on foreign policy? NOW I heard everything.

[Spoonman]

Republicans? Aren't these the same people who lock the government down on domestic issues? Who want to defund the government? Did the Republicans get the go ahead from the Koch brothers before they made this decision? Republicans can't even say boo to their own overseer and they are going to lecture Obama? Let's see if Boner can get approval to take it to a vote. Republicans, the same people who walked out and let the sequestration hit? They are the same people who are now saying they care about foreign policy? The same party that will not bring immigration reform to a vote care about foreign policy? Before the Republicans talk to anyone else they need to talk to themselves about who they care about because from what I can see they only care about themselves. I am sure Republicans see this a political window of opportunity but perhaps rather than looking for windows they need to look for a mirror. If the Republicans can ever decide on a topic they need to start with America. They give a **** about the Ukraine? NOW I have heard everything.

Let's see what we do know -

In the war on women, the only confirmed kill belongs to a democrat, Ted Kennedy


Republicans end cold wars - Democrats open the doors to start them.


Obama continually compares himself to JFK. With Russia's activities in Cuba, we may just find out how true that is.

**** you with your "Dems voted for it" bullshit, you ****. You motherfuckers do NOT get to pass off blame for that shit.

Every top-ranking official in the Bush White House should be tried for treason, starting with this piece of shit right here:

Waterboard that ************ to find out who gave the orders.

Gotta love you guys! You all squealed bloody murder when terrorists who were part of killing thousands of Americans were water boarded but you have no problem at all with water boarding someone like Colin Powell who simply tried to do his job to the best of his ability.

Is it any wonder why our enemies no longer fear us and our allies no longer trust us? You progressives would be amusing if you weren't so destructive to the country. God, help us if anything serious happens between now and the end of this joke of an administration's second term. Barry and the Gang of incompetents don't have a clue what they are doing!

^ that

add the Bush II political operative- Doug Feith (R) to that

Douglas J. Feith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Feith was criticized during the first term of the Bush administration for creating the Office of Strategic Influence. This office came into existence to support the War on Terror. The office's aim was to influence policymakers by submitting biased news stories into the foreign media.

In February 2007, the Pentagon's inspector general issued a report that concluded that Feith's office "developed, produced, and then disseminated alternative intelligence assessments on the Iraq and al Qaida relationship, which included some conclusions that were inconsistent with the consensus of the Intelligence Community, to senior decision-makers." This repeated Feith's earlier involvement with Team B as a postgraduate, when alternative intelligence assessments exaggerating threats to the United States turned out to be wrong on nearly every point. The report found that these actions were "inappropriate" though not "illegal." Senator Carl Levin, Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, stated that "The bottom line is that intelligence relating to the Iraq-al-Qaeda relationship was manipulated by high-ranking officials in the Department of Defense to support the administration's decision to invade Iraq. The inspector general's report is a devastating condemnation of inappropriate activities in the DOD policy office that helped take this nation to war." At Senator Levin's insistence, on April 6, 2007, the Pentagon's Inspector General's Report was declassified and released to the public

You forgot that Obama voted to keep funding the Iraq War, in 2007:

Senator Barack Obama yesterday defended his votes on behalf of funding the Iraq war, asserting that he has always made clear that he supports funding for US troops despite his consistent opposition to the war.

"I have been very clear even as a candidate that, once we were in, that we were going to have some responsibility to make it work as best we could, and more importantly that our troops had the best resources they needed to get home safely," Obama, an Illinois Democrat, told reporters in a conference call. "So I don't think there is any contradiction there."

Obama's comments represent a direct response to attacks launched by aides to Senator Hillary Clinton of New York, who have pointed out that despite Obama's antiwar rhetoric, he has voted along with Clinton for some $300 billion in war funding since entering the Senate in 2005.

"In reality, when they both got to the Senate, Senator Obama's votes are exactly the same as Senator Clinton's," Clinton strategist Mark Penn said Monday at a Harvard University forum.

As a candidate for his Senate seat in 2003 and 2004, Obama said repeatedly that he would have voted against an $87 billion war budget that had been requested by President Bush.

"When I was asked, 'Would I have voted for the $87 billion,' I said 'no,' " Obama said in a speech before a Democratic community group in suburban Chicago in November 2003. "I said 'no' unequivocally because, at a certain point, we have to say no to George Bush. If we keep on getting steamrolled, we're not going to stand a chance."

Yet Obama has voted for all of the president's war funding requests since coming to the Senate, and is poised to vote in favor of the latest request when it comes to the Senate floor this spring. Liberal groups have demanded that lawmakers cut off funds for the war as a way to force its end, but Obama has joined most Democrats in the House and Senate in saying he would not take such a move.

"I have been very clear" has to go in the "best of" collection of laughable Obamaisms.

What does that have to do with whether or not Obama is being bested in connection with the situation in the Ukraine?

 

[FlourPower]

Obama's the first eunuch president. Better get used to speaking russian and chinese everyone it's just a matter of time now

I guess someone was thinking ahead when my 1st grade class over there in North Africa (The American School) deemed it necessary that we learn Russian and Arabic along with grammer and rithmatikk.

Gotta love you guys! You all squealed bloody murder when terrorists who were part of killing thousands of Americans were water boarded but you have no problem at all with water boarding someone like Colin Powell who simply tried to do his job to the best of his ability.

If that was the best of his ability then Republicans should never hold any office again, ever.

Also, which terrorists were involved with killing thousands of American soldiers? Do you even know who you're fighting in this war? 30 years ago, right wing pieces of shit called the Taliban "freedom fighters". The Afghan jihad is a CIA creation. Operation Cyclone. Look it up.

Are you aware that Iraqis couldn't have killed thousands of American soldiers if Bush didn't lie to the world to invade Iraq? So if you want to blame anyone for thousands of soldiers dying, blame the CIA and the Bush administration, not the "freedom fighters" who are fighting against freedom. Republicans do not have any idea what sound foreign policy is.

Is it any wonder why our enemies no longer fear us and our allies no longer trust us? You progressives would be amusing if you weren't so destructive to the country. God, help us if anything serious happens between now and the end of this joke of an administration's second term. Barry and the Gang of incompetents don't have a clue what they are doing!

Yeah, Progressives are destructive to this country. Progressives who would rather spend $4t on health care, education, rebuilding bridges, and cleaning pollution instead of dropping white phosphorus on Iraqis after Colin Powell lied to the UN, saying that the US had to invade Iraq to disarm dangerous chemical weapons like white phosphorus.

George W. Bush and his cabinet should stand trial for international war crimes. If that doesn't send a clear message to Obama to pull his head out of his ass, his ass will be on trial next.

You should stand trial for killing time and wasting bandwidth.

well now, Did you people who are Republicans realize once Obama was elected you weren't suppose to have a voice in YOUR GOVERNMENT ANY LONGER?

So that majority of you who disapproves of him just sit down, shut up and allow him to do any damn he feels like to you and YOUR COUNTRY....

someone who bring in the Koch brothers into their rants on foreign policy shouldn't be taken seriously

 

[chikenwing]

Republicans want to use tax dollars in sane and rational ways?

Explain the Iraq war.

What by asking all the Dems that signed on for it also??
