What happened to the war?

[gwb72tii]

Afghanistan specifically.
Don't see any press on it like we did before obama, even though we still have troops in harm's way, even though Guantnnamo is still open, and we're still rendering enemy combatants for interrogation.
just saying....

It looks like Obama is trying to get us off of Bush's tar baby.

No one is talking about Yemen either. I'm not too pleased with Obama's guys on handling that situation at all. We are essentially creating terrorists in Yemen so that we can fight them. It's FUBAR and reminds me of a Bush 2003 decision I didn't like either.

We're still sending drones into Somalia or some other Horn of Africa country as well aren't we?

could it have something to do with Obama promising an end to the war or the end of the war in iraq. whichever he said. but sense we pulled troops out of Iraq, people might think the war is over and obama went through with it promise. and sense people don't see it in the news some people also think its over.

Out of sight, out of mind.

This is what happens when you elect a pot smoking Kenyan Muslim... obviously. Why are you surprised?

gwb believes there is a difference between the two parties.

Many of the rest of you do as well, it's cute.

We'd like to think there is but in all honesty they just want their cushy perks and to stay put in Washington.

Our Jr Republican is now saying he's gonna run as an Independent in Massachusetts. Not thinking that will go far.


War is very much active, rumor control says we have another activation of my wing coming up yet again. Be our 3rd activation as a heavy airlift, plus we were on continuous order in volunteer status for 7 straight years.

Sounds like here in OK, all year they've been talking about lowering the income tax.

R's control the state house, senate and the governor...............did we get the income tax reduction in the budget? Nope, they figured out how to spend the money on prisons.

R's and D's both are backed by the same corp's, not much we can do about it.

not necessarily between the parties, but certainly between philosophies, conservative and progressive
and the op point was the media covering obama's ass, as usual. probably not "news" anymore, but contrast the media reports on the wars with the previous pres and the messiah.
how many of you know we've lost more troops since barry hussein was elected than under dubya in afghanistan?
hear any more reports about guantanamo?

Pretty much covers it right there. The liberal media didn't want it to go away under Bush.

Although I couldn't give less of a fuck whether there are US troops fighting in Iraq, the above is very true. Just sayin'.
