you forgot "blah blah contradicting an earlier speech blablah"

lol.. was just reading two speeches, one where he tells Africans in Ghana to stop blaming the effects of colonialism for their problems, then another speech where he is telling Muslims in Egypt there is a problem caused by the effects of colonialism.. was kind of weird. (I am of course loosely wording my rendition of the speeches)

^ oh yeah, thanks, left out that part.

I listened to General Petraeus this morning on CNN and he was much more informative. We search, seek and destroy (or run off) the irreconcilables and we make our acquiesce with those who would like to come in from the cold.

I'm still curious how we are going to defeat an enemy, that WANTS to die, and, defeated the Soviet Union (who did NOT fight according to any rules, they slaughtered everything in sight) :wtf:

Great points. Not to mention, we can't beat them because we won't even identify who they are. You only win a war in one way. Identify your enemy and decimate them. You can't win by trying to make them friends.

blah blah blah...........people said all the exact same BS before the WILDY successful surge in Iraq.....and this surge will net the same results regardless of who the President is. It wasn't as forthright of a speech as I had hoped but all in all I thought it was a good speech. The mostly foreign fighters will get killed right off cause they are uneducated and poorly trained religous losers and finatics...who like people have said...came to die....and we will give them their wish lol. and the pakistani and afghan taliban will hold out longer but their ideology is so played out and opressive that it to will eventually die out god willing.

colonialism? Apologizing for it? What a joke.......GET OVER IT. Now wonder Iran, North Korea, and Russia think Obama is a bitch. Like a little schoolboy playing in the Big Leagues. I mean seriously....Putin of russia...the former KGB trained killer..... must wanna laugh in Baraks face everytime....he has to think what a pushover this dude is as he puff's on his Cuban.imp:

I keep expecting O to wake up and realize that the way the world truly is, is not as his ideals have taught him. He's looking like a damn fool walking around the world. Ever notice how he turns his nose up all the time. He's talking to these leaders as if they admire him or they fear him. They're freaking laughing in his face.

Wake up Mr President, you're dealing with experienced pros, of which you are not. I'm sure Putin is shaking in his boots over O. They're thinking,, "lets get as much out of the USA as we can before this guy leaves office, it's a blessing"

It has been a truly fascinating first year of Obama's presidency hasn't it?? If you woulda told me 1 year ago that America's forces in Iraq would remain the same and troop size in Afghanistan would double under Obama I woulda told you you were crazy!!! Im actually very pleased with his choice......I got a tad pissed it took so long.....but he chose wisely I believe. The situation on the ground will determine when the forces come home.....any lefty that believes his timeline is a fool.....he just said that to appease Moveon and the DailyKosites so there isnt a full rebellion amongst the die hard leftwingnuts

and with that in mind........you have to wonder.....whats Obama got in store for Iran? Maybe more than we think? Look how he dealt with those jack-ass somali pirates.....he greenlighted them real quick. He is giving McChrystal 30,000 troops on top of 30,000 to go on offensive in Afghanistan....if Im Iran.....im paying attention.
