Thread: Obama wants troop surge in Afghanistan

The threats that they paint are intangible. In the U.S., our chances of dying in a terrorist attack (which is a loose word to begin with) are far less than falling off a ladder and dying, statistically.

Of course they are. Smear campaigns have nothing to do with truth or fact. You just have to get the words out there. Ask the Kennedy judge in Alabama. KR may be the most vicious and unprincipled politico I have ever known of. The crime is that this shit won lots of elections. My favorite quote concerning KR came from John Stewart. "You know what I'm going to miss most about Karl Rove? The lies."

Yes let's send troops to Afghanistan and pour more gasoline on the flame. Sending troops in their will only destabilize the region. If the white house was actually listening to experts who study the situation in Afghanistan, we would be leaving right now.

Exactly. We have been fanning the flame in the middle east for decades. We arm these little countries, and then bomb the shit out of them. It's not very complicated, even though they want us to believe it is. None of the so called "top tier" candidates want to stop that behavior over there.

The U.S. is perceived as a control freak in the region.

"But they hate us for our freedom". What a load of shit.

Inkslinger, thanks for the red. How about this, if I sign up for the wars, you pay my taxes and pay for all the socialist programs your buddy Obama wants. In other words, if we are going to participate in certain things, you pay for what you want. So, if you would, please send about 95% of your salary to the government to cover all the socialist programs that I don't want.

I take it you are not going to vote for Obama, right? He is for sending more troops to Afghanistan too.

Do you understand the concept of a volunteer military?

That is correct. He's all about the war corporation too.
Tell ya what, I'll send you a $500 gift certificate to EB Games if you join the infantry, strap bombs on yourself, and run into a crowd of terrorists singing "Born in the U.S.A." or "Amazing Grace" at the top of your lungs.
Well, that's if there still is a war when you're old enough...I'm sure there will be.

I'm sure you're 17 since you made your screen name.

Wrong again. Can you show where I said I was 15 now, or you can just admit that you made that up...

You did mention class or something to the effect of your age at one time, but seriously, you're not worth my time to research it.
Your boring posts and repetition of the same old crap truly shows your age.
Get a kids life, go to the skating rink or something, you 'lil rascal you...

Just as I expected. Thank you for conceding defeat. It was a hard fought debate on your part, but in the end, you were "dealt a bad hand."
