Is it because one man is black?

OMG, what does that have to do with this situation? Obviously you Repubs don't believe in diplomacy in any situation (as seen in the last 7 + years), but I am pretty sure Obama would not be talking to this guy. Nice oversimplification... you righties sure have established that you won't let the truth get in the way when trying to smear the opposition.


The sad truth is, there are so many human rights violations going on in Africa that it's hard to know where to begin. Even worse than that, is that the African people are by and large so poor that there's nothing to motivate outside governments to do anything other than drop some bags of grain every now and then.

When did we invade Libya in the last seven years? Or North Korea?

What are you talking about, no diplomacy in any situation? Are you being a liar or just not paying attention?

Libya is nothing more than a stooge for us now. Certainly no threat.

Not even Bush/Cheney thinks we could successfully invade N. Korea.

I have seen nothing resembling diplomacy with either country.

You also see only a "minute" difference between a murderous raping mob and professional soldiers, so I wonder why we should expect you to understand what was done in Libya or North Korea.

HAHA a liar??? JFC, you have to be kidding me!

We have been to busy with Iraq to invade Libya or NK, and why should we invade either? Since when are we "Team America, World Police"?

No, your guy has been too busy ignoring the will of the international community and waging an illegal war, overextending our military while cutting taxes in wartime, and generally inflating the pockets of the rich and putting more Americans out of work.
Our standing is on the way down in the world, as is our ability to hold the ground of moral authority, due in large part to the actions of this administration and it's lack of willingness to engage in diplomacy and compromise.

If BombBomb Iran McCain gets elected, look for more of the same!

Who are these "professional soldiers" you're talking about?

You realize that is the definition of a mercenary?

Wrong. An unpaid soldier is a militiaman or an irregular, a paid soldier is by definition a professional. A mercenary is defined as: one that serves merely for wages; especially a soldier hired into foreign service

Our present day miltary is for the most part made up with people who joined for financial gain, whether as a guaranteed, ready-made career, or for the much-hyped financial college aid.

Most of them hoped to completely avoid being involved in killing people, especially women and children.

Most who joined to protect and defend their country find themselves betrayed and used, and are tired of killing for Halliburton. They have been chomping at the bit (for many years now) to go after Bin Laden, but he is under Bush's protective wing.

Super. What does that have to do with you characterizing professional soldiers as mercenaries?

As for the "Bush is protecting Bin Laden" conspiracy, I'm not going to even touch that.

You indicated that the GOP is unwilling to use diplomacy. Again: we've used diplomacy in both of those countries (amonst dozens of others).

Are you denying that? Or did you just not know about it?

No, your guy has been too busy ignoring the will of the international community and waging an illegal war, overextending our military while cutting taxes in wartime, and generally inflating the pockets of the rich and putting more Americans out of work.

First of all, he's not "my guy". He's no more my president than he is any other US citizen's. I didn't vote for him.

All of your rambling is irrelevant. Answer the question.
