Wouldn't it be great to have a president who attacks the people who were actually responsible if that happens?

So because it happens here in the US it justify's it happening in Iraq? That's some pretty twisted logic there eman.

He did go after Bin laden in Afghanistan.

Maybe just maybe Obama will cut and run. Then you will be happy.

Maybe you need a refresher on the number from Justice.
So what? If you get killed in a car accident you are just as dead. Why not spend more resources on them than on terrorism? You are over a 100 times more likely to die that way.

That's a pretty novel idea but the Bush loyalists will never see that, they simply turn a blind eye. We mine as well have bombed Guam.

No. It is saying that 4,000 deaths of American soldiers can be put into perspective because we are murdering far more of our own in our own country. So dont whine about the shia and Sunni conflict. or Kurds. We are just as bad.

Place under: another problem beyond human capability to solve (manage).

Because our great leader has chosen to engage the terrorists and not car accidents. You go solve the car accident problem.

Actually, I can give a shit about their civil war, it's not our problem any more. We need to exit and let them figure it out. We simply don't have the money and resources to sustain it while fighting a recession here at home. Yes, right here in America, that's the part of the country us Liberals care about.

TC, I am having fun tag teaming on eman. I would feel bad for him but I know he can take it much better than I would be able to.

I'll mop the floor with the both of youss.

We cannot hide from the problems in the Middle East and from the lunatic terrorists. Bush was right to engage and not run and hide. You are two of the biggest liberals on the board and you are cut and run cowards. Thank God Bush/Cheney are keeping us safe. Both of you are just bitter.
