Someone said it....before we can police another country, how bout we police our own! Things arent the best here but we out in someones else country worrying about the thing happening there. If the roles were reverse we would have been fire bombed someone elses embassy. And for once will people stop thinking this country is ran by one man....the President is just a figure head***i repeat a FIGURE HEAD***learn your facts bitches!

Actually no, the president of the United States is not a figurehead. No commander in chief of the largest and most powerful military in history could be reasonably described as a figurehead. No person who is the equal of 100 powerful people in one direction and 437 (?) in the other could be called a figurehead.

"Americans" have a hard time understanding the reason we are spending Military dollars in Lybia and Iraq is for the extraction of oil.
Many countries see this as greed, our politicians see this as "our" interests. What I don't see is the Oil Industry's skin in this game.

I believe it is time for the right (and factions of the left as well) to understand the pragmatism of this country. The right actually seems to think that we send money to other nations simply for the joy of doing good. What you say Grandpappy is true. Our foreign aid dollars go to maintaining (there's that word again) order in regions that are strategic to us - if we support dictators in order to maintain that order, so be it. Not all of our strategicly essential minerals exist within our borders. We get rare earths and oil and safe passage from one place to another from other places on the earth. We are an imperialist nation masquerading as just a good old peace loving country that wants nothing more than a little respect.

The truth is that much of our foreign aid goes to ensure that our companies are left alone and that we have constant access to material deemed essential to our military and economic dominance. We have a choice, we can spend some money or we can send troops. Most times the money is far easier and far less expensive.

I guess I'm one of those Americans, so why don't you shed some light on what evidence or proof you have that we do not have, that America is there for the extraction of oil!

It is only the right, in their all consuming reality bubble that doesn't believe in hubbert's curve. The Pentagon does and it has plans for that eventuality.

I actually agree with what Wright was saying. Most fools never took the time to read or hear his full text of what was said... they only listen to the 5 second sound bite. I guess their attention span does not allow more then that.

FULL TEXT AND SAYING OF REV. WRIGHT

"And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains, the government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton field, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness. The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people. God damn America, for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America, as long as she tries to act like she is God, and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent

Well sir, being we must be back to the days of slaves tell me are you a slave owner(white) or are you a slave(black).That's what you are saying right if you are white you were a slave owner and if not you are a slave? Sorry that this is not the 1800s but it is 2012. So go back to wrights racist fucking sermens. Now back the post do you think it is ok for O to be in vegas while all this shit is happening in the middle east to Americans???
Maybe you feel the same way about America today since we don't live in the slaves days or maybe a few of you do.
And I did see the hole speach plus a lot more racist sermons.

Where would you suggest Obama be? Should he take the next flight to the middle east? What is it with folks who believe that if a president isn't physicaly involved then he is not doing anything? He didn't "kill OBL" because he wasn't there, he is not doing anything about our embassy because he isn't piloting his own black hawk?

 

[ink the world]

When UBL was being killed he was at a political function, press dinner thingy i believe.

Thinking he has to be in Washington to be in charge is assenine.

Why so twisted up over Wright? Just because he said god damn america? Tell me, what in that text isnt true? Get over the moronic American exceptionalism crap, its myopic and really ignores history.

You really believe were better simply because were American?

Sir, I would like to know that my commard in chief had his hands in Americas secuirty. Not begging for money. Funny what do you think he should do?? Maybe do a show or two while he's there.

Oh that must have been another bullshit picture of him and others listening to the seals. And I know gm is alive because of taxpayers money.

Why does the US need an embassy in Yemen?

It is literally an arm-pit of a terrorist training country, it is where the actual terrorists who actually attack people come from (as opposed to the popularly held assumption that all Muslims are terrorists).

Because the Yemen government actively helps us kill terrorists

Foolish man the sermon had a lot more to do then just slavery times. I guess you see only what you want to see.

I suggest that you learn the difference between whole and hole. Question have you ever served in the military, help clean a national park, run for public office, or better still what have you done for your country...beside bitch. Obama is your POTUS and will be again for 4 more years..get over it

This is where diplomacy parallels medicine. If you want to take the temperature of a region, place an observer in its armpit. cn

Oh excuse me sir, all that shit about about slaves and being sold on blocks was really not in your post, sorry.

3 1/2 years in the US Army(viet nam days) in the scouts I loved working in the parks, helped deliver food to the poor and meals on wheels, hell no I hate politics, I am old enough to bitch about my country or any thing else I want to bitch about.

Now sir, my question was were you a slave or a slave owner??So where do you think O should be?? And please stay on the subject and quite raven like all democrats do.
Or is that out of your reach.

In case no one mentioned it, this happened because one of your fellow smart americans made a movie about how islam is "a hateful religion", so there you have it.

Sir are you saying that is OK to kill 4 Americans because some shitwad made a movie about muhammed. To tear up our buildings burn our flag, surely you don't believe that? Those people just hate America any reason to kill Americans is fine with muslims. And now I catch the shit about the good muslims, well I wish any of them fucking good muslims would stand up with America. But no it's against their religion.

Cmon man.

You don't really think an entire religion is represented by the most extreme individuals in that religion?
If you do, are you gonna hate Christians for the atrocities that are and have been committed by Christians?

If all Muslims hated us the way you think they do we'd have daily attacks here in the states and those embassies and all other US embassies in the middle east would have burned long ago.

In Lybia there were people out protesting against the attacks. You too have been in the service, if you've been overseas you know most people just wanna live in peace and have a normal life. Were aren't as different as you'd like to think.

No not all of them but there few and far in between. There were a few when the egyptions first started that help greg a fox guy in the UK from getting beat to death because he was American and the ones that helped the lady reporter that was being raped. You know sherrarh law allows that but they are still great people. Don't have any stats on planned attack or how many were stopped. I do know that there have been a few on O watch, christmas day bomber, the guy in Texas, oh yea the Fort Hood shooter. And I'm sure those people at the cario embassey just want to show some love don't you. You know burnning cars for light throwing rocks for the cops to dodge you know fun games. And don't know what you heard But I heard that the attack on Lybia was planned.
