So what he's saying is that its our responsibility to bring Freedom to the entire world? A World Cop so to speak. So where to next? Myanmar? Zimbabwe? North Korea? China? I would say America should put everything else on hold because we are going to be fighting wars at least until the year 2567. I pass.
But you see this is the typical REVISIONIST view of history that goes around election time.
Time warp back to 2002-2003. Strangely, I don't remember anybody talking about Iraqi freedom back then, and Nowhere today, do I hear of Iraqis begging us to stay or wanting Democracy. Quite the contrary, most remarks I hear are desires of a Islamic Republic and even the Iraqi government has made it public knowledge they want us out, ASAP.
Now I do remember something about the massive WMD threat in 2002, that Iraq possessed and was threatening to use, about Missiles being ready to launch within 45 min, about non-existent Iraq schemes to secure Niger yellowcake for a equally non-existent WMD program, not to mention Colin Powell brilliant career-ending speech he gave at the UN which was based on information was provided by people whose reliability and motives is less than AMTRACK.
Some people like the guy on the video just don't get it, Obama isn't criticizing the job the soldiers did, he's criticizing the politicians in Washington who made the decision to go to war, just like Vietnam and Panama were mistakes that should never have happened. POLITICIANS START WARS NOT SOLDIERS. Thats the point Obama means when he says Iraq is a mistake.
Where Obama is wrong is where is he says "It was a mistake to go into Iraq". Oh, There was no mistake about it, its pretty obvious we were CONNED (chose your adjective here: deceived, lied to, misled, tricked, scammed, defrauded) into this war.
Now I accept the fact that all politicians lie to a degree, but I am without mercy to those that treat me like I am the biggest idiot in the world, that I am a stupid blind sheep who will willingly believe whatever BS they say. I am a educated person with a semi-functioning brain, and I remember EXACTLY what happened in 2002, and not GOP revisionist history version of what they would like me to believe and what they believe themselves as they are guilty of believing their own propaganda.
Now if people want to follow McCain who was a major player in this Scam from the beginning thats your business, but I won't. And dont blame Obama for not wanting to partiicapte in this charade any further.
