“Benjamin Franklin once stated that democracy is two wolves and one lamb voting on what to have for dinner, while liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting that vote. Slowly but surely, the lambs are being disarmed while the wolves continue to sharpen their teeth.”

Did Dr.Paul really call Afghanistan “Obama’s war”? …If he did, it would be one of the very few times I have disagreed with him.

Yeah! It’s Obama’s War you worm! We must send our troops back home and how many more of them do we need to lose? It’s time to stop policing the world and take care of our own here at home and close our borders. & time to impeach Obama and clean up Washington.

Time for the troops to come home!
OBAMA Lied obviously, he is a continuation of the Bush regime, nothing has changed. He is spending far more money, more money is being lost and unaccounted for and the war has been extended to Afghanistan, Pakistan and likely Iran.
What? people thought it would be different because he is a Mulato? So far that is his only achievement – and not one that can be attributed directly to him

If I stated: it is morally/ethically reprehensible that Zionists murder & torture their neighbors for fun & profit; no doubt I am to be erroneously labeled a “Jew Hater” or “Anti Semitic” or “Racist” This does nothing to address the FACT that evil scum continue to commit treason on humanity with impunity on a daily basis using your tax slave dollars. %98+ are not even Semitic!!

I never wanted Bush’s war, or Obama’s war, or Clinton’s war, or Bush’s father’s war,.. or any war that is NOT declared by Congress with a full Declaration of War as the US Constitution mandates. We can’t even call these wars, they are just illegal military operations overseas which benefit no one but the military industrial complex and its puppets in government.
The whole thing is a tragedy, the best country that ever existed will be no more.

The biggest misunderstanding about the war for the American public is that fighting it will stop terrorism, when in reality it is actually the fuel of terrorism. If you know anything about basic human nature you would know that humans respond negatively to people telling them how to live their lives or invading their country. The amount of terrorists to come out of this “war on terrorism” will be more than before the “war” began if we don’t stop our interventionalism.

In the video – from 4:20 to 4:51.
“Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”

All this debt is IMAGINARY!!
I do NOT consent. So few Americans who pay homage to Crown Inc. have no clue their sweat equity is never spent on the infrastructure of the “United States”…
rather it is a foreign private corporation “UNITED STATES of AMERICA” and they are not answerable to employees (you) of said corporation.
Have fun researching it and you’ll find it is true.

“Gov’t contractors never want the war to end”
That is not the reason we continue those wars. If u withdraw the troops and leave those countries in shambles with no stability, they’ll remain a breeding ground for crime and terrorism. That is not in anyones interest, not ours, and definitely not theirs.
I wish we could leave now, I honestly do, but its not practical.
U know, I dont understand. Back when we were getting ready to invade Iraq, right-wingers were so hungry for war, now u want out.

Rick Sanchez is a shill and an idiot! Funding for the war isn’t for the TROOPS. If so I would’ve been rich as hell when I came back from the M.E. If they cut funding for the war today we wouldn’t be effected one bit. We would pack up and come back stateside. That is all. I can’t stand CNN(Pentagon,Israeli influenced) how can anyone trust the Mainstream media after so many lies lack of context. and infotainment for so long. All of our MEDIA has failed us as well as our government officials.

Oh dear, it took almost 10 years for the politicians to realize that spending money on the people of Afghanistan for things like education, health care, bettering their economy, and all those thing that can improve their lives would be much of a better choice than spending money on weaponry and troops.

We are already in Iraq and Afghanistan. The damage is already done. Let’s finish the job ASAP and bring our troops home.
It’s really cheap, not to mention ridiculous to call this “Obama’s war” when we all know who started it. Obama inherited the mess.
It was logical to respond to 9/11 by going after those responsible, but it made no sense invading Iraq. I guarantee u that if a Democrat had been in power at the time, we would never have started that unnecessary war. But what’s done is done.

No, of course it’s not Obama’s war. But technically it’s not George Bush’s war either. It’s George Washington’s war. You see if George Washington had not secured the retreat of the British then America never would have been founded. Then George Bush would not have been able to start the war.
Of course it’s Obama’s war. The moment he became president he became commander and chief. If he didn’t want that responsibilty, he shouldn’t have run for office. Saying that he started the war and saying that it is his war are 2 different things. George Bush no longer directs foreign policy. The way this war is being conducted now is as Obama sees best.
And make no mistake. He has never been against this war even before he was elected. He stated during the presidential race that this was “the good war”. He is the person who has decided to send 30,000 more troops over. He is the one who has decided preventive war is better than non-interventionism in Afghanistan. So he is the commander and chief of the US army, has determined America should stay, has not determined what victory is (meaning of course America’s there for a long time). Therefore he is responsible for his decisions, let alone the army’s safety and America’s security. But no it is not his war. I understand perfectly.

2:07 North Korea has been doing some of the same things and worse for over 50 years and nobody wants to do anything about it. Same stuff goes on in lesser known 3rd world nations and sometimes even here in America. Is anyone outraged? No, because there is no benefit in return, as with the spoils of war to be had in this region of the world.

There are two types of Afghans; normal Afghans, which is Taliban & majority, & pro western Afghans, which is small minority. It’s very similar to the Vietcong & Vietnamese dichotomy. Basically they are the same ppl. LOL. So, Taliban don’t wanna send their girls to school means that majority of Afghans don’t wanna send their girls to school, i.e. it’s their family matter. Also, note that majority of Afghans don’t go to school regardless of their gender anyway. LOL.

The Afghan people have to stand up for themselves. Liberty is worth fighting for no matter what culture. Guerilla warfare always wins. They will eventually liberate themselves. In any case, if we’re there, we’re not liberating them, anyway.

We were attacked by Muslim psychopaths, that were probably aided by the U.S. government. Most of them were of Saudi descent. Having said that this doesn’t give us the right to invade any country over there considering 911 wasn’t a military action.

Hate to say it, but we are not destined to impose morality on the rest of the world at gunpoint. We cannot keep the Empires troops scattered around the world as we go broke, we cannot build schools in other countries as ours fail. It’s time to bring the troops home and fix up our own house. We should lead through example, not intimidation.

“We leave, they start doing that again”
The preceding argument can be valid if only if the following proposition holds:
When we are there, they don’t do that.
However, the very cover of Time mag shows that although we are there, they still do that.
Nice try, moron (I don’t know this moron’s name). LOL.
Also, note that a domestic abuse is a domestic matter, hence the word “domestic”. You don’t bring a million troops to solve some domestic abuse problem. LMAO.
