dargay,

Do you believe that it was a mistake to remove the Taliban in Afghanistan? Was that a failure?

Conservatives don't have a monopoly on oversimplifying matters.

Obama is definitely inexperienced. It was a very irresponsible statement about an ally. So many Pakistani security forces are being killed to fight al-queda in Pakistan. I cannot ever vote for this guy.

Barack Obama the fool should learn that unilateral militarism failed in Iraq and will fail in Pakistan as well. Additionally you dont threaten countries whose cooperation you are seeking.

You really want Bin Laden, rather than going into yet another sovereign state, simply go into the white house and the pentagon, that is where Bin Laden's strings are being pulled.

As for Obama, I, even as one who is percieved as a "Black man", had non specific suspicions about him from the start, now they are specific, he has been bought off by the war profiteers.

I refuse to believe that our civil rights martyrs and other heroes of our continuing struggle againse oppression, died so that their progeny could become just more of the same racist and elitist dogs that continue to stand on our souls, Colin Powell, Condolezza Rice, and Barack Obama could not possibly be what they saw in their dreams. I pray not.

They were fighting and dying for the right to become better than this, we fought to make a better world for all men, not just for a chance to be players in the same BS game.

Looks like Obama's "new politics" is gonna get us a new war!
No thanks - we'll stick with John Edwards - the candidate with the best foreign policy.

Just as Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bob Dole, Al Gore, John Kerry, and their likes,,
What Senator Obama thinks does not matter much in the larger picture of things..
Obama is a non-issue,, Obama is a trainer for Hillary Clinton,, That's it..
Obama can't become the world Champ, because he's not built to become the Camp..
But he does do a good job at warming up someone who thinks she can be..
Will Hillary Clinton win??
Depends on how many people vote for her.
And from the looks at the polls, don't think it's going to happen..
It's the Republicans election to loose..
But they have lost elections before,, 2006 ring a bell?
Some in the Republican party are worried about ***,,, when in fact, the Republican parties worst enemy is the liberals what are in power in their very party..
Democrats, I'm asking you this,, and it's from the hart..
Are You Wanting To Win Another Election Again, Anytime Soon??
DO YOU WANT THE WHITE HOUSE??
Better find someone other than these clowns to run for you then..

And Pakistan,
Just as it takes a village to raise a child,, in Senator Obama's case,,
Every village needs their IDIOT..
Obama is ours...
Sorry for the mix up..

The chinese think some religious groups are terorist. Don't they have the right to send troops inside the usa to kill or capture them, because we will not extradite them. If we can do something why can't others do the same to us? Because we are always right, everyone else should obay us,and we are above the rules. Bush has us on that track, that is why everyone hates us now.

BOTTOM LINE: I will not vote for any candidate who does not state that they will pursue Bin Laden, and his cronies, into Pakistan. If Pakistan is our friend then they will support the move to take out the Terrorist where ever they are hidden. If Pakistan is not a friend of the War on Terror then they are a friend of its institution and should be agressively sought after. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANY U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANIDATE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE 'PREVERBIAL BALLS' TO FIGHT TERROR WHEREEVER IT LIES!!!

Interesting to ponder a rational discussion of how western civilization will survive the spread of Islmic facism. Our "leftist liberal" (vs "libertarian") classes are totally engrossed in appeasement politics and celebrity science. What about the "real survival issues" we face?? Throwing barbs at Bush and those of us they see as pesky small-minded munchkins for failure to embrace their values, is no doubt "fulfilling" in some way based on the frequency and volume of insults - like some kind of mental "french fries". At the end of the day, the Islamic extremists will haunt us to their dying day - their miserable world holds no greater reward than death and destruction after all. The "non-extremist" Muslims amongst us lift nary a finger to stop the madness, and in fact are essentially apologists for their acts. Wake up and smell the coffee folks... Find a new outlet for your energy.
