Obama Backs Out on Promise: Troops to Stay in Afghanistan After 2014

[ReadyWithReadyWit]

LOL

yes we should be thankful for that

a new low in "why the president is doing a good job"

he hasn't started a war

he had no money left after blowing a hole in the deficit

as for faux outrage .................. 4 dead americans .... help requested prior numerous times ...... no help provided day of attack ....... need i continue?

there's nothing faux about it except your faux understanding or perhaps caring

toot toot

Maybe you should reread my post, buddy (I think you made up stuff along the way) Where exactly did I claim not starting wars = president is doing a good job? It turns out, in politics, there are often "lesser of two evils" scenarios and I was merely claiming this is one such case. I personally prefer Obama's handling to that of returning such duties to the GOP war machine... there is a distinction... especially when we claim to be concerned about the deaths of every American.

i read it 1x
then 2x
then a 3rd time

it was the same

your last sentence said he didn't start any wars

was that a criticism?

do tell

are you a war monger

i'm confused

your point it seemed was

bush started 2 wars
obama didn't
edge obama

course he did redeploy troops from iraq - where we got thrown out - to afghanistan

oops

not such a good move

"gop war machine" ......... all we need is an organ grindr and a monkey

[xbuzzerx]

I like the "edge Obama." Like it's really easy to just accidentally start two really bad wars with no point. Oops. So Obama's got a slight edge over Bush. lol.

Yes... I think you got it this time around. It wasn't a very deep point I was trying to make. But that distinction is an important one... especially in context of history and our country's inability to end wars we start. And, I think that distinction is plenty is suggest:
Obama≠Bush (which is completely different from "the president is doing a good job").

Pres. Obama to his credit opposed the Iraq war - while a junior senator

Many of his Dem. colleagues did not - many of his key appointments did not

many of the dems who did not have been rewarded with better appointments and have more power since their vote FOR war

it's a long but good read

And here is Chance still unable to concede that not starting two wars ad infinitum is not = not starting two wars ad infinitum.

It's a pretty easy distinction man.

He has no evidence to back up his case... it's something we've seen before.

I'm getting the sense that you always like to be right

Are you suggesting that Illinois is somehow “junior” to the rest of the nation?

Or maybe you are dismissing the distinction between state and federal?

Neither

Any other options?

He was like senator for what a year ?

That's junior

And he was commonly referred as such

I don't think you got the message, but thanks for responding.

"Junior senator" from state X is the traditional form of reference to the more recently elected senator from that state. If Senator Ugh was elected before Senator Fugg, Fugg is the junior Senator -- and still will be, as long as the two both shall serve.

Haha

Well .....

It's not like I haven't that before here

And it's late

And in addition to my relatively new job I'm "starring" in a sales video for a sales conference where I have to portray the Matt Damon character in a sales takeoff of Good Will Hunting - my Boston accent has been inconsistent necessitating "take 6" . So I'm a bit distracted

I struggle with your humor

Pick one or more of the above

Yes but

you know.....

sometimes the junior must precede the senior

it's rule of nature man.

Take ownership of the situation. Don't blame others.

I struggle with this topic sometimes.

More at 11.
