But not surprising.
There are no fellow Communists in our military that Barry could have a conversation with based on the common ground of workers' struggles, the evils of American imperialism, and racism.
Victory is not in Barry's vocabulary when it comes to America.
You funny....I just debated your points with my post and you neglected to debate my points in your reply, you're quite the debater.
Your position is that of the left and you can't support it and get upset because you don't like my style calling you out, lol.
See ya
Let me tell y’all a little something about myself.
When it comes to the question of sending our finest to die in a foreign land, I don’t have a political side. I don’t give a rat’s hind end what side you are on. Don’t be wasting my buddies for your political gain or to build nations, and I don’t care if your name has a D or an R.
That is pretty darn simple. No unnecessary blood.
I want to see OBL’s head on a platter, but I do not want to try and build a country in Afghanistan. That place is nothing but worthless tribal back country.
Get OBL, let the Afghans have a copy of the US Constitution and get our boys home.

It does... thanks for expanding. I agree with you.
In analyzing and in criticizing-indeed, in understanding his motivation- the commander in chief's handling of the war in Afghanistan we ought to make sure we understand Obama's own calculus.
For the first time in the history of the Republic it is not unthinkable that we have a commander-in-chief who does not consciously pursue a policy which he believes to be in the best interest of the United States of America. The first time in the history of the Republic we may have a commander-in-chief who does not want to Republic to prosper with the operating system, the constitutional system, that he inherited from generations of presidents before him. In fact we have a distinct possibility that the commander-in-chief regards changing the governing system in America to be the highest priority and he views the war in Afghanistan in the context of advancing or retarding the change in our governing system he seeks.
There is a second calculus to consider. If Obama is as narcissistic as many claim, the first question Obama will ask himself concerning pursuing the war in Afghanistan will come long before he asks himself what is in the country's national interest and even before he asks himself how this might advance or retard the revolution he seeks, he will ask himself how does this reflect on the image of Barak Obama? If Obama is truly a narcissist this equation is one which he cannot put aside because he is psychologically compelled to look at the world through the prism of his own solipsism. I for one cannot judge whether he is such a narcissist but it is plain that the evidence mounts daily which increasingly confirms the judgment which must be drawn from his biography, his associations, and his own pronouncements that he is a man driven by his own ego.
So when the president of the United States decides whether to surge or not to surge in Afghanistan the dismaying reality is that the interests of the country will be counted no better than third place. Small wonder that the president has not talked to his field general but once. For Obama the decision is not a military one but an ideological one, or a psychological one. If Obama decides to surge it will be to advance Barack Obama or at least to avoid damage to the public image of Barak Obama for a military fiasco. If he elects not to surge the motivation will be that he must maintain his image with his home base.
This is a helluva way to wage war and a disgraceful way to sacrifice American lives.
If OBL was alive he would have been made White House tsar in charge of Terrorist Outreach.
You crack me up Deb. :D
