• Obama Tries To Fire Up Frustrated Supporters Ahead Of 2012 – Huffingtonpost.com

Our hands are not clean at all. The gas that Saddam had we supplied, Iran had a democracy we overthrew it installed who we wanted, Egypt we supported their military and the list goes on and on all over the middle east and the world. We don't follow the Constitution, what the founders said, or apparently the Geneva Convention which we signed. They don't hate us because we are free or perceived as a christian nation, they hate us because we support the people that kill and enslave them. All of this counter terrorism baloney would not be needed if we actually followed the constitution, and what we as Americans are supposed to stand for. How about we don't supply the thugs, dictators, install our choices for their leaders.

Well, I wish you were exaggerating, but you are fundamentally correct. It is so easy to forgive ourselves for stuff like that, but people in the world know our history. If the US were affected by another country as much as many of them have been affected by us, our people would be rioting in the streets in protest as well. Imagine if China came in and overthrew our government and put in someone like the Shaw, the way we did to Iran.

Oh no, remeber this USA , the country who defne who is terrorist , so no one can define USA as a country of terrorism. Doesn't that exactly what terrorist do? It sound like this is a state terrorisim. So, USA will from time to time strike any place in the world (sorry , only the islamic world) killing those it doesn't like (of course after naming them terrorist). But be carefull guys, those poor that will be affected by your strikes, will hate you more and remeber they are great sucide, or aren't they??.

It's all about them and their views, and nothing about anyone else. They operate from hypocrisy as a starting point, thus they will never accept ANY responsibility for their mistakes while simultaneously expecting credit for other people's success. In their minds, conservatism/Republicanism is the only true way. It's the only way that could have brought success. Ever. Anyone who is not a Republican, in their minds, either exists to serve them or is lesser in some way. They can't blame themselves for the same reason they can't give Obama credit.

Gitmo's still a problem but he's made an effort and we'll see how things go now that bin Laden sleeps with the fishes. And he handled the minor problem of a viciously murderous criminal escaping justice and plotting mayhem. He privatized low orbit space which should please free marketeers no end and we'll see if it was the right time. He chose not to follow standard GOP procedure of organizing a witchhunt and jailing bankers.Some might wish a few were hanging from lampposts but I think he made the right call until Warren gets settled and begins issuing reports. He saved 2 of the Big 3 auto makers, mainly to save the jobs. And he got credit reform and the consumer credit protection agency which will do much good. FDA is vastly improved, FEMA got plaudits for much improved performance during the tornadoes, and if the GOP can be held off, EPA will get to do its job properly.All his effort. He fought with courage and persistence for ACA and if it wasn't perfect he got most of what he wanted. He fought for extension of unemployment benefits. If we had kept his stimulus going another year as he wished, the states would not be in the holes they're in and our recovery would be faster.Naturally with high unemployment and the housing market collapse the deficit worsened.Get people working and revenues will improve. I think he should have let the tax credits lapse but he may be right to let them stay a short time longer and thanks to the GOP's arrogance and clear siding with the wealthy few, it will be much easier to get the credits for high income people dropped next time round. If he can get a clear run, we could see his infrastructure bank and the Smart Grid project that shape though the GOP Nosayers will do everything to block him. How worse? He kept TARP going which did its job of saving the credit system and more importantly has been doing a fine job recovering the cash.

To quote the shrub, not something I do often, "Bring it on"As far as what happened to candidate Obama's promises once he became President, reality BITES, and if he is only going to keep ONE campaign promise, this was the one.On Gitmo, talk to the Republicans in congress, they are the ones that tied his hands.

As a retired United States Army Infantryman I can tell from first hand experience that our job is to Protect the United States of America against ALL Enemies, yes sometimes that means taking lives, and that is an unfortunate thing, but that is also what happens in War. Next time you are talking about the Military being killers, remember that if it wasn't for our Military you would not have the freedoms that you enjoy in the United states. jklapper, The Militarys job is NOT to Kill people and Break things.

Please, look at the masses of angry faces in countless numbers of news videos from around the Muslim world, where thousands are chanting death to someone or some country that isn't Islamic. We cannot stay in that region long enough to kill all those people. Leave them to their own horrors and pull our troops out. The problem people in the Islamic world are continually referred to as a minority, a fringe element, a small number of, and so on. End Muslim immigration to the U.S.

The elimination of Bin Laden has everything to do with Counterrorism, yes, but nothing whatsoever to do with a comparison to "nation building". Core to the Bush Doctrine is the effort to track down terrosists and kill them where they live Fareed. Obama execuited the Bush Doctrine to perfection Fareed.

Hunt down the leadership and kill them where THEY live, not where WE live. Play hardball with these thugs – this they will understand. Need continued powers provided by the Patriot Act. Keep harsh interrogation in play. Bravo to Obama for executing this part of the War when it came to Bin Laden.

[includes rush transcript]. Plainly, the U.S. "The reason is very simple. response to the popular uprisings sweeping the Middle East and North Africa.

In fact, opposition to U.S. So that’s obviously an intolerable result. Well, plainly, the U.S. policy is so high that a considerable majority think the region would be more secure if Iran had nuclear weapons. Across the region, an overwhelming majority of the population regards the United States as the main threat to their interests. NOAM CHOMSKY: The U.S. There are some in the region who regard Iran as a threat—about 10 percent. Similar figures elsewhere. The reason is very simple. In Egypt, the most important country, that’s 80 percent. and its allies are not going to want governments which are responsive to the will of the people. If that happens, not only will the U.S. and its allies will do anything they can to prevent authentic democracy in the Arab world. not control the region, but it will be thrown out.

policy on Iran. It just doesn’t matter what the population thinks, as long as they’re under control. In fact, coverage of these polls is precisely zero in the United States, literally. There was no mention of the Arab—of the Arab population, because it doesn’t matter. They can have campaigns of hatred; our friendly dictators will keep them under control. policy on Iran. The revelations from WikiLeaks that got the most publicity—headlines, euphoric commentary and so on—were that the Arabs support U.S. There is no comment on this. In the case of WikiLeaks, there was an interesting aside on this. They were quoting comments of Arab dictators. If the dictators support us, and the population is under control, then what’s the problem? This is like imperialism. There’s a few comments in England, but very little. Yes, they claim to support U.S. What’s the problem if it works? As long as they can control their populations, fine. That’s the reaction not just of the diplomatic service in the State Department or of the media who reported this, but also of the general intellectual community.

You can almost spell them out. But they’re obedient, they’re reliable, so they can do what they like. Saudi Arabia is the most important. So in the case of an oil-rich country with a reliable, obedient dictator, they’re given free rein. There was a planned protest in Saudi Arabia. There was a small demonstration, very quickly crushed, no comment. There were—it’s the most repressive, extremist, strongest center of Islamic fundamentalism, missionaries who spread ultra-radical Islamism from jihadis and so on. Well, from these observations, you can conclude pretty quickly, pretty easily, what policies are going to be. The same in Kuwait. But that was fine. The police presence was so overwhelming and intimidating that literally nobody even was willing to show up in the streets of Riyadh.

And there’s been a concern among planners for a long time that there might be a move towards some sort of tacit alliance in these Shiite regions moving towards independence and controlling the bulk of the world’s oil. Another more fundamental reason is that Bahrain is about 70 percent Shiite, and it’s right across the causeway from eastern Saudi Arabia, which also is majority Shiite and happens to be where most of Saudi oil is. They’re a minority in the Middle East, but they happen to be where the oil is, right around the northern part of the Gulf. That’s eastern Saudi Arabia, southern Iraq and southwestern Iran. Saudi Arabia, of course, is the main energy resource, has been since the '40s. That’s obviously intolerable. Actually, the most interesting case in many respects is Bahrain. One reason, which has been reported, is that it’s the home port of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, major military force in the region. Bahrain is quite important for two reasons. By curious accident of history and geography, the world's major energy resources are located pretty much in Shiite regions.

And, of course, we have to recognize the importance of that. So, "Arab League Calls for Gaza No-Fly Zone," that’s inconsistent with U.S. and its allies were intervening in response to a request by the Arab League. And then—but in this case, they could also add something else, which has been repeated over and over again, namely, the U.S. Well, to be precise, it was reported in the , but basically blocked in the U.S., like the polls, like the polls of Arab public opinion, not the right kind of news. That wasn’t reported in the United States. Incidentally, the response from the Arab League was tepid and was pretty soon rescinded, because they didn’t like what we were doing. At the very same time, the Arab League produced—issued another request. policy, so that, we don’t have to honor and observe, and that disappeared. But put that aside. Here’s a headline from a newspaper: "Arab League Calls for Gaza No-Fly Zone." Actually, I’m quoting from the London .
