No, Mr. Zardari, the United States of America is not, like you, conducting "the war on the hearts and minds of people." Our war, and it is our war, since the skulking assassins of OBL declared America as its target of choice, is on murdering thugs who wish to hijack the hearts and minds of people. In that respect our war is FOR the hearts and minds of people, not ON them.

erich_1, whatever gave you the notion that Obama is a man of peace? He was a community organizer, a position that stirs up people, challenges the existing order, creates chaos where there used to exist the order and tranquility of the plantation, and excites the populace to take charge of their lives and stimulate government to work rather than slumber ineffectively. He is no more a man of peace than Jesus Christ was a man of peace. While he, like Christ, is a man who does not believe in indiscriminate killing to achieve some "greater good," he, nevertheless, vows to chase the killers out of their lairs, wherever those might be, as Christ chased the money lenders from the temple. With anger and force and righteousness. What justifies this? The declaration of war against the American people known as the Edict of 9/11. And the corollary Declaration of Response to Attack by the American People, known as "To the Gates of Hell," by Whatever Route, and that includes Pakistan. What will be, will be. Tell your friends to get on board or get out of the way.

...America has failed to neutralize the terrorist safe haven in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Democrats believe we should redeploy our troops from Iraq in order to relieve the strain on our overburdened military and strengthen our national security.

From Senator Reid Democrats.Senate.gov

Calling for a redeployment of troops to Pakistan, against the Pakistan nation''s wishes!

I''m not talking just about President Elect Obama''s comments a year ago about Pakistan. I am talking about the Democrats stating idea of going with troops into Pakistan for years!

I don''t get it!

Again I ask for a Democrat to explain, or show that I am wrong in this posts or my others:

Ok, I have read all of these comments and I still have not read a justification from anyone regarding the Democrat''''s ideas on Pakistan.

The Democrat''''s have wanted for years to send troops to get Osama Bin Laden going through the nation of Pakistan. So, you escalate the war to get Osama Bin Laden who is Afghanistan, going through the nation of Pakistan that has not given us permission to go through it''''s nation.

Like I said below, whether you Democrats like it or not President Bush received almost 80 votes from Senators giving him approval to use military force in Iraq. Totally approved! Nobody likes war, but that was different, he even went to the U.N. Security Council.

You have voted for a man because you think he represents peace. You are badly mistaken! You have been fooled! Show me anything that justifies the action proposed by the Democrats.

Don''t pity me.
Explain to me where I have misstated the Truth in the Posts I have said below.
Ignorance is exposed by education and knowledge.
Show me where I am wrong, don''t just say I am blind because I choose to be.
Show by giving Truthful Facts.

Feeling doesn''t make it. I didn''t vote from feeling, or that a guy has a pretty voice between two Greek Columns. A voice from a teleprompter doesn''t impress me.

Show me the facts!

So, let''s review this.

You peaceniks voted for President Elect Obama to quickly get the troops out of Iraq.
During his campaign he once said he would do that immediately.
He is now saying that he will listen to the Generals and try to get the troops out in 10 months.

President Elect Obama stated a year ago that we may have to put troops in Pakistan to catch Bin Laden in Afghanistan. Pakistan has always stated that they are against us allowing troops there.

There is also an indication of President Elect Obama supportive of Prime Minister Odinga in Kenya, and looking at the surrounding countries may involve us in a war there.

You voted for a man of peace, but I don''t see it!

The drones maker is Bush''s company, they need to shoot at least 100 targets a day to keep their banks account full,
people are not dumb, they know every thing their corrupted government do.
