I really don't understand why the Republicans hate Obama because he is just continuing what Bush was doing, spending taxpayers money and charging it our children that isn't born yet, continuing a War that is not winnable (the only winners is the arms manufactures we our supplying the blood and the money). The Government can spend a trillion Dollars on a War and do this over night, but when it’s for the people everybody is concerned about the cost. Obama problem is that he is trying to please everybody and end up pleasing nobody, The Democrats are beginning to dislike him and the Republican just hate him! One thing is that he doesn't have to worry about the next election because any lame duck could win against him!

Hey I love the music, bad moon rising brought tears to my eyes though. Let's pray 1 term, but at times I really think that he has the liberals brainwashed, sorry I am just so frustrated with it all.

Exactly... we really do love this country, I want it for my daughter and her kids when she has them one day :) I think that we have taken it for granted for far too long. I don't think that others see that if we continue down this path, their grand kids may say, what was it like, because they won't know because it is gone. :(

I know, Clinton should have gotten him when he had a chance, then maybe 9/11 would never have happened.

Hey, didn't you hear the interview with Hillary about Afghanistan? When asked about the troop request she said something insane about Bush leaving Afghanistan in 2002,2003 to focus on Iraq. She said that Afghanistan should have been the main focus. WHAT????? What nerve.....BillyBoy should have taken Bin Laden out when he had the chance and decided not to....more than once. What a shrew she is.

He was busy being his skirt chasing self, enjoying his cigar... She also as far as I am concerned criticized McChrystal, they are all right and we are all wrong. This is the most arrogant group of people I have ever seen.

This is a standard lib line.

Saddam had WMD & Saddam was a WMD. He kept up his aggessive talk and he had defied 17 UN Security Council Resolutions. The UN should have acted.

There were 5 UNSC Resolutions between the bombing of the African embassies and July 30, 2001, condemning Al Qaeda, the Taliban, & Afghanistan. Each successive one harsher than the previous.

What happened 42 days later?

Iraq was necessary, you had a maniac and his sons murdering thousands of people just because he could. We have been attacked all over the world by these extremist and they are working from the Middle East. Prior to Iraq they were massing un-checked. You have Europe being out birthed and with uncontrolled immigration of Islamics that in time will gain control of the governments of Europe. Remember some of these governments have nuclear weapons. They don't assimulate in to the culture of the country move into, they segregate. There are places in Europe that Christians dare not go because in Islamic law you are allow to be killed if you are not a Muslim. You even have extremist here in the United States that predict Sharie law will be the law in our future. If we continue to let the politically correct liberalist to destroy our Christian based Constitution our country and your future generations are doomed.

The reason we went into Iraq is bigger than what most people believe. It had everything to do with Bin Laden, but most people don't know or understand the history. People just keep blaming Bush for initiating the war without knowing the intelligence behind the decision. Seriously, it's bigger than you think. Presidents don't spend $800 billion on wars with 70 other countries on a whim. Our war with Iraq goes beyond 9/11. There are several things that overlap here.

That is because our troops have to fight with one hand tied behind their back- just like Viet Nam!

How much longer can Barry drag it out without actually doing something? Do what the generals ask, then get out of the way Barry.
