A Complete Waste of Space

Slick...in the past, in regard to A'stan....We seem to share some agreement of the way the situation has been "handled"....
And, probably the way it is being "handled" now....

I still don't give a shit about it....not now and not in the foreseeable future...
Truth be told, I don't give two fucks and a giggle for Libya either..."Ghadaffi-Duck" should have been the first target...there.

Obama's "sense" of right and wrong? Only appears to apply to his own personal and political agenda....certainly not to America and the people.
Obama is the POTUS and it's his "watch"....however, he wastes/spends to much time winding it...
with the stem out....

Old Pudfark sez: " When it comes to a "circle jerk"? Obama came in first and third place.... "

May be this could help?

Suffer through the advert...and the solution is apparent.

well, Pud, whilst you're gluing your meat, Obama is trying(whether you see it or not) to change the image of the US in the Arab world. Time will tell if it will have an effect, but if we indeed get the feck out of Iraq, and Afghanistan in a timely fashion, and stop backing onerous rulers merely because they 'serve' our short term interests, perhaps we stand a chance. The road out of the mess we've dug ourselves into will be a long one, and thank goodness, in the meantime, for Canadian and Mexican oil to supplement our domestic supply, because I sure wouldn't guarantee a steady flow from the Middle East.

Take a look see at this link below...it's on a more serious level...the flip side of the coin....

I found his attitude to be a bfd as well Thats what you often get when you send kids to combat and in terms of Afghanistan thats what you often get get when you think you can implement a hearts and minds strategy through the military.

The military is not meant to win hearts and minds. T

Kids in a foreign country for a year at a time outside the wire they can expect a bullet or an ied at anytime any place, they arent even safe in base just last week or the week before the Yanks had a couple killed in a condition green part of the base, basically im not going to fault them for posing with bodies or even being a bit trigger happy, now down and out murder well they can hang but thats about the only line. And just remember one thing its all good and proper to sit back here and chime in but we arent there looking at the situation as it appears

Lemme guess, you never stared down the muzzle of someone elses gun...................I did when I was 15. I shot till he was neutralized. I'm here posting. I win. And I don't feel bad about and it wasn't fair...................for the dickhead who came into my home wanting to do harm. Too bad so sad. Same can be said for a combatant. Just cuz he's wounded doesn't mean that he's not dangerous.

Whom shall that excuse? The civilians killed by "a bit trigger happy" dumb kids who signed up freely to go into another country to kill its people for a reason they don´t even know themselves very likely wouldn´t see "Ya know, war´s tough man and you see these poor kids have a lot of stress" as a perfectly valuable excuse.

There are many soldiers (maybe not in OEF, who knows ) who are able to deal with the stress withough going all "that´s awesome" and posing with the bodies of civilians they just killed.

It´s hard for me to even acknowledge that people exist who think posing and having fun with dead kids bodies is ok. How about if it was your brother who´d be all over the internet naked with the guys whio just killed him posing and cheering? Wouldn´t you fault them and call them barbarians and so on?

You killed someone who invaded your home. Allright, it´s your right. The ordinary Afghan/Iraqi wants to defend his home. Do you see it as valid that he wants to do that?

And no, i never stared down the muzzle of another mans gun. I was threatened (strange stuff) by three men in south korea of all places. Think karate guys with knives and shit.
If i somehow killed them i still wouldn´t feel it was awesome (and if given the chance pose with their bodies).

Of course wounded people can still be a threat, but this little shit is going all FSP-Dawg on it. Millions of people see the dumb stuff he says and start thinking "What is this american on about. Are these the guys to bring peace and represent us?"
