re: Cheney unprecedented attack on Obama---really strong criticism of President

quote:

---

Obama never got one deferremnt, much less five

---

Wow.

Thought I read where barry received a military deferment so he could complete middle school.

Absurd. They wouldn't have been there without almost full dem support and FUNDING.

President Clinton was also 100% certain they had chemical weapons.

We were bombing the heck out of it for a while before he went to Congress. Congress was lied to. Finally, the "funding" part was a bit questionable as well, no?

President Clinton

Clinton is the go-to guy for Sudanese aspirin factory bombing raids.

Wait, wasnt the gop and Romney critical of Obama during the last election for NOT getting our people out of Iraq and Afghanistan faster?

Which is it?

quote:

---

but the fact still remains that Obama never sought a deferrment

---

Track, if you want to credit Obama for not doing something he could not have done in any case, then fine.

For future use:

Obama didn't shoot one Indian at Little Big Horn.

Obama never put on women's clothing and snuck onto a lifeboat as the Titanic was going down.

Obama had nothing to do with fixing the 1919 world series.

shite wrapped in skin.

frick Cheney. He was a tremendous part of what was wrong with our last administration. frick him.

I read that this morning and agree with much of it. However, I found this quote startling:

"Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."

One could easily apply this line to the decision to invade Iraq.

quote:

---

For the record, I thought Saddam had chemical weapons since I knew we have given them to him and I was still oppoised to the Iraq War.

Well, some honesty stands out from a bunch of sanctimonious Monday Morning Q-back critics!

I think most every body in the whole damn world was on board with removing Hussein. We all believed he held WMDs, because the pictures of those Kurds holding their babies while choking on their own vomit proved it. And it proved how ruthless Saddam was. And we knew how much he hated us for literally pulling down his pants and spanking him in front of the whole ME. He hated the US with a passion.

And it proved just how committed we were to payback...if challenged. Hell, Qudaffi gave us his nuclear tech when he saw Saddam dragged out of that hole by Marines. Now that is the kind of action that this country is lauded for, and why this World is a better place.

But this thread stinks to high heaven; because it don't change the fact that Bush, Cheney, the Dems, the Clintons and all of us were in for the removal of Saddam (minus Trackfan, and the Doves ). We did that in a couple of weeks.

It's when the compassionate Nation-building began - in hopes that that new Democracy would stand in between Iran and throw a wrench in the whole Islamist hegemony, that it all went bad. The 'rules of engagement' were f'n insane, and a bridge too far. Still, in hindsight, it was a decent bet...and a valiant effort by our forces. Now...we know it's folly to spend money or blood creating Democracy in a Muslim Nation.

You critics of the whole Iraq War, act like you or even Cheney, knew then what you know now; and base current criticism on current knowledge. Fallacious! But more so hurtful to them that fought that war, for good reason. It creates doubt in their minds, and demeans the value of their service and sacrifice. Service rendered to benefit both the good Iraqis, and us, and the whole world. Dick Cheney don't give a crap what fallacious argument/criticism is heaped on him. Nor does anybody who clearly sees the Truth.

Good grief!
