Agree with just about everything you said, but you’ll still be voting for McCain. Might suck if you get called off IRR to go attack some crappy country on the other end of the world that is no threat to America.
If that’s what it takes to set our country up for a Palin presidency…
Look, Obama is just as likely to get us into a nonsensical war as McCain. Belligerent countries will be more reckless with him in office. Obama will also be more willing to commit troops so as not to be seen as weak on national defense. He’s not anti-war right now because he believes it; he’s against the war because that’s what’s popular.
America likes getting into wars, we just don’t like staying in them. Let the polls leading up to the midterms say that the democrats are unpopular for not standing up to Iran/Russia or more likely and the big green machine will be at war faster than the news wires can get the word out.

exactly. i believe that if Obama were elected, the war situation would be a lot worse during his term. he would either just keep sending troops without much of a strategy or he’ll pull us out of Iraq and Afganistan right away, make himself look like a hero, but a year later end up kissing Russias ass if they decide to push our buttons. you are right about Obama riding the coat tails of what the fad attitude at the moment is.
typical politicians Obama and Biden are, will tell everyone exactly what they want to hear, and the mass is stupid enough to buy into that shit every four years. at least everyone knows where McCain comes from, and where his stance his, while Obama came from no where and is shrouded in mystery.
i remember during the Clinton years, everybody wanted to go to war, didnt matter if it was Iraq, Cuba, China, everyone wanted our president to send the troops to go kick someones ass. especially Iraq. for years after the gulf war, everyone bitched and moaned that we should have killed Saddam and we were weak for not doing so. When Bush took office, he did exactly what everyone wanted. invade Iraq, kill off Saddam and make the world just like us.
at the start of the war, everyone was suddenly “patriotic” “proud to be American” fuck the french cause they disagree with us and lets change the name of French fries to fucking freedom fries. but as soon as we got some blood on our hands and bodies coming back suddenly people who wanted war, are suddenly screaming the opposite. and now george w. bush, the united states is evil cause our wish was granted but then reality struck.
i dont know about any of you, but im personally glad Bush was president during all this cause can you imagine what Gore would have done? he would have dropped to his knees begging for mercy, and whined about how war is bad for the environment as bombs would be going off in our cities. then of course, if i memory serves, didnt he start on his global warming crap just as soon as it became the latest American and apparantly global craze?
