Enough wars already.

Stop wars of choice. Already far too many lives lost in wars of choice. Vietnam - Gulf 1 - Iraq. How long must we go on? How long?

This angry old vet say enough already!!
 
Hear hear! I might even be considering a vote for Obama right now if he'd come in and immediately shut down the wars. What I really don't understand is how you anti-war guys can vote for him. You all must really like the socialism...

Rather odd, Lukey....given your new fandom of "The Blaze"....and Beck's desire for World War-III starting with us helping Israel bomb Iran?!?!?!?
 
Most lefties are anti-war only when non-Democrats are in office. This is also when they are anti-debt, deficit hawks, etc. ;-)

And apparently if you link to one article you are suddenly endorsing everything the publication has ever contained. Sheesh!

That's funny, Rick.

Richard D. Cheney: "Deficits don't matter." At least, during a Republican adminstration. Because then we're using the deficit spending for USEFUL stuff, like waging illegitimate wars in far-off countries, based on phony and trumped-up evidence. Republicans know that war is good for the economy, you see.

Yet you guys high five each other every time Obama whacks another al Qeada (and his innocent family)...

I don't want any more useless wars, Lukey; but the fact is that we ARE at war with Al Qaeda. Or have you forgotten 9/11 already? And sometimes innocent people do die in war. The 'innocent family members' who are killed in our drone strikes against Al Qaeda members fall into the category of 'collateral damage'. If you want a long life expectancy, I would advise not getting married to an Al Qaeda terrorist. And it so happens that these drone strikes are, far and away, the most cost-effective way for us to fight Al Qaeda. Or would you rather see us invading Pakistan (and Somalia, and Yemen, and etc.) with a million-man army?

If Obama were NOT going after Al Qaeda terrorists, Republicans would be screaming bloody murder, yelling to the world that Obama was being 'soft on terrorism'. [Hilariously, they say that anyway.] So he is in a no-win situation; he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

You DO know that virtually all marriages of devout, radical Muslims are arranged, don't you? So much for being for womens' (let alone human) rights, eh?
 
RickWA you just prove how far stuck you are in the far right wing poop chute

I'm against ALL wars of choice. If you support wars of choice when your party is in power and against wars of choice when the other party is in power prove to me how shallow you are. I'm glad you are Republican and not a Democrat.

BTW about deficit hawks -- I had the bad luck to work with a nut supporting Bush. He way up on cloud nine over the few dollars Bush gave back to tax payers. I pointed out to the wingnut his kids and grandkids will pay more in tax to pay interest on the debt. I have always supported pay as we go.

Sorry to spoil your day with truth -- I take that back -- I'm happy to spoil the day for any and all wingnuts by telling the truth.

OK, Lukey, so what's YOUR response to Al Qaeda terrorism? If you don't approve of drone strikes to take out their leaders, I guess that leaves you with three choices:

(1) Turn the other cheek. If Al Qaeda attacks us again, even if it is a more massive attack than 9/11, like a dirty bomb being exploded in some major American city, we just ignore it. We just say, those guys are just misunderstood, and we just need to TALK to them. Then they'll be nice.

(2) It's WAR, baby! Bring back the draft! Let's build an army of TEN MILLION soldiers, and INVADE all them goddam Muslim countries! Kill their leaders, and forcibly convert the population to Christianity!! [This is the Ann Coulter recommendation.] Or:

(3) NUKE 'EM ALL AND LET ALLAH SORT 'EM OUT!! [This is the Tom Tancredo 'solution'.]

So, Lukey, which of those three options would you favor? I eagerly await your response!
 
So long as you can leverage vulgarity AND claim the high road, it's all good Lex - same stuff, different day.

In any case, there is ample evidence here that its partisan support rather than principled stand for the most part.

How true. Glad you owned up to being partisan rather than principled. As for me I'm still the person I was back in 2001. Pay as we go. No wars of choice.

Yes vote for Romeny, if you want a war. Didn't he just say that he will make other countries to behave the way we think they should or ELSE.
