I wish Obama was moving faster on ending the wars but if McCain had won we would be in two more!

If McCain had won I bet at this point he would have bombed Iran and be close to doing some war act against Korea.

Obama might be going a little slow for some people in Iraq and Afghanistan but at least he is keeping a cool head on Iran and Korea.

1. He's moving forward. It will happen.

[Lex]

2. Because McCain lost doesn't mean Obama shouldn't act more quickly

on ending the insanity in Iraq.

That's some very bad logic on your part.

[Autumn]

3. By now it would be three more. n/t

4. The Irony Of GOP "Concern" For Iran Is That They Pushing To Bomb Iran Recently

Now, there is a disputed election, and suddenly, the GOP wants to strongly condemn the violent crackdown. Am I missing something? Wasn't the right wing demanding military action against Iran a few weeks ago?

5. Nope...you said it about as succinctly as can be said..

Welcome to the DU!!! :hi:

[MadMaddie]

6. That about sums it up TomCADem!!!

Which ever way the wind blows (think tornado) the Repugs are there!!

Welcome to DU!:hi:

7. If there were a whole bunch of wars, maybe it would stimulate the economy

we could all save our bacon fat, er, whatever, and get munitions factory jobs and shit

These imperialist occupations just don't have the same zing.

9. That is what James Baker stated at the start of Gulf War I.

[TheKentuckian]

8. Hell, he was starting shit with Spain.

I'd would have been much happier to keep Smirk 'n' Sith over ever allowing McFailin anywhere near the Oval Office. That was the nuttiest and most inept pair of loons ever to run for the highest office that almost half the electorate just voted for.

In a country as loopy and hawkish as ours, one must handle such matters just so or you lose 70% of the people in a split second. The people will rebel on the impression of weakness or abandoning the troops.
