NIMBY said there should be no boots on the ground because the American people don't want them there.

I said sometimes the President has to do things even if the American people don't want it.

That is what being a President is all about.

How can a president act againist the will of the people?
 
You mean like when we had a broken Health Care system when the President made a difficult choice against public opinion.
You people are for difficult decisions until yer against them, yer MO for the last six years.

And you will be the first to blame your President when we start incurring death abroad.
As MMC did with his beheading cartoons, after Obama bombed as per GOP insistence on bombing .

And I disagreed with you. That's what being a dictator is all about. Here in America we would prefer the president govern the people's will and not his own. As he (at least overtly) did in Syria when 70% of Americans said that we didn't want another military operation there.

You forget that people will not support the president if he does not respond to the people's concerns.

That is exactly what this President is concerned with, his poll numbers over what is best for the country.

personally instead of screwing around I'd send a couple nukes, check to see if everything was decimated, and move on with our lives.

This is a phenomenally stupid idea.

Nuclear weapons are not "clean" weapons that instantly eradicate all the bad people with no ill effects on anyone or anything else; they are also weapons that would have serious consequences for whoever uses them. Anyone who advocates chucking them around as anything but a last resort cannot be taken seriously.

So it's just like "libertarian", where anyone who wants to feel superior can call themselves "libertarian". Gotcha.

It doesn't make me feel superior.

It just lets me see the absurdities on both sides of the political aisle.
 
NIMBY said:
Let me know which of our coalition partners our putting boots on the ground.
You have specifically criticzed our partners for not doing their part--not anymore with eight weeks to go huh MMC?




Yes, I will continue to stab at back-stabbers.
How do think the gang of four meeting with your President will turn out.
Don't you think the other 431 members--both parties--should shut up and quit posturing before the election?
Yet refuse to vote on a resolution ?
Click to expand...



The Iraqis and the Kurds put troops on the ground.

That's Right I specifically Criticized the Europeans minus The Brits. Just like many in the Intel and Military fields did and all doing so means there is something to it.

No the only one thing you stab at is.....the dark. Hoping you will get something to stick in.
 
NIMBY said:
Now yer directly and indirectly accusing the administration of giving an ENEMY like these TERRORISTS a break.
Try noticing what yer GOP mouthpieces are saying for that.

Do let me know how the DEAD enemy feel after 145 airstrikes.

And out the other side of your mouth, put out more cartoons that disgustingly play politics with beheadings.
Beheadings that are caused by the very actions you want .

Where is that Link you still haven't produced? The one where you made your false claim to fame. Were still waiting on that link.
 
NIMBY said:
If anybody needs to stay focuse it's you MMC.
How about another disgusting cartoon on beheading of journalists, make fun of your President?

Beheadings caused by the very bombing and "strategy" you demand .

Let me know when you figure out why.....and come up with a real answer as to Any News Sources that would use it for political cartoons.
 
RDS said:
You took the fight to them in fact for 12 years and then began to relax. ISIS and insurgents filled the vacuum and now you going back in there with NATO to fight again.
Click to expand...

We took the fight to them in only certain locations.....not wherever they were. Also we never went after Ansar al Sharia when they spread from Yemen. Now.....who do you think bears that responsibility?
 
Mason66 said:
This is what I don't understand. Why do we know everything that is going to happen before it happens?

The only thing I can figure is Obama tells us then looks at the polls to see if he should do it or not.

If we, as the public, know what is going to happen, then the bad guys know as well, thereby losing the element of surprise.

It doesn't make any sense to me.

Heya Mason :2wave: .....yeah funny how that leaks out, huh?
 
I like the fact that the President took out the terrorist leader in Somalia without telling congress BEFORE he did it--as per law .

What leaks have you seen since August 8th since the President turned off the spigot of intel to congress BEFORE his 145 strikes at ISIL ?

Why is the GOP abdicating responsibility on voting for War?
Yet Democrats want to follow the Constitution on voting for War !

I think (could be mistaken) that he told us once that he was 16 years old. I actually respect him coming in here. But yes, a phenomenally stupid idea.

Really.....what does that have to do with this issue? Oh yeah.... that's Right, not a damn thing. :roll:


Did you ever get around to answering the question.....you know, the one this thread is about?

Oh, you weren't aware they leaked that BO will be asking for 5 Billion. I thought only your man knew? What happened?


That his plan still calls for no US boots on the ground? That he will continue with the Airstrikes.
 
MMC said:

It sure does--easy segue to the FACT that the President is using the same STRATEGY in dealing with ISIL--
145 strikes which congress found out about AFTER the fact--by law--
the same law GOPs won't touch since they don't want to obey their Constitutional obligation to vote on the record.

You don't seem to get it that Obama will no longer tell GOPs what he is doing BEFORE the fact .

MMC said:
Here we are 2 days away from the Anniversary of 911. Every year since 2001 we have been sent videos of threats from AQ. This year we are now being Threatened by ISIS. That they will strike at us some way. Threatened to kidnap our people. Threatened to behead our people. Giving us ulitmatums and trying to strike fear into us.

Instead of the US upping security and BO giving a Speech on what we will do.

Should the US attack AQ and ISIS on the Anniversary of 911. Go after them wherever we know they are.

Also please explain out your answer.

We shouldn't go after them for 9/11 or its anniversary but we should go after them because they are scum buckets pieces of ****.

Truly you have no clue do you? You don't even know what has been said about ISIS and Syria with respects to bombing. Tell you what Nimby.....take about 3 days off to study. Then you will have caught up to current events. Then come back and see me.

Well I was going with troglydytes.....but then we would know when they were around. :lol:

Still my reason for asking.....goes along with taking their Special day away from them. This is the day they talk about and get all pumped up about. So I figure if we turn it around. They wont like the results. Then its not so special to them anymore.
