2. Shit statements from shitheads
What we have are a bunch of people who didn't know what hte fuck they wanted, and voted for Obama because he wasn't Bush. Now that they realize he's NOT to the radical left of Dennis Kucinich, now that they realize that he CAN'T use dictatorial power to give them what they want, now that they realize he's not going to mow their fucking lawn, they are angry and confused.

6. Yes those darn peaceniks and their careless voting habits!
Why did Obama not make it clearer to those fucking idiots that escalation was the moral and just choice for Afghanistan!
If they didnt know it, fuck em, ignore those god damned hippies that are keeping us from getting our Just War on.

9. I don't know about you...
But last year, when I filled out my ballot, I knew what I was buying. Why? Because rather than jerk myself off to feel-good imaginings, I actually paid attention to what the man's platform was. "Get the fuck out of Afghanistan" was never on that platform. Maybe it should have been. I would have been happy if it were... But it wasn't. In fact before he was elected, he told us he'd be sending at least two more brigades to Afghanistan. We knew before we voted that he planned to move troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.

You can be a complete fucking liar and say he didn't if you like. But he did let us know ahead of time.

Something else you might not be aware of... Obama didn't start this war. Nor is he the one who fucked it up so badly that we're in this situation.

You hippies don't like it? Neither do I. But I understand why it's going down. I understood that before I filled in my ballot. If you didn't, you're an idiot. If you're now just lying out your ass, well, it wouldn't be the first dumb motherfucker to do that about Obama around here.

11. Obama made it quite clear what his position on Afghanistan was.
That you chose not to listen to him is not his fault. You may disagree with his position, but don't act as though this is something new. Don't claim he broke promises when what really happened was that you voted for him with your own goals in mind and are now projecting them onto him.

If they didnt know it, fuck em

That's right. If you didn't know what his position on Afghanistan was - a major issue - and voted for him anyway, and are now complaining because you just figured out a year later where he stood, well there you go.

12. Just so we are clear... I knew he was pro-empire and pro-war
Soon as he spoke about Afghanistan.

I'm just pointing out the venom and hatred your side of pro-afganistan-war-escalation pack seems to bring to the table.

And I'm glad you took it to the next level. I just wanted to be clear that I was not fooled by him, despite liking his message, the campaign and yes, even him personally, I knew who he was.

17. Straw men are logical fallacies and logical fallacies are opposed to critical thinking.
How do you feel about the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq?

3. It's also a dumb statement and dumb is a condition that can't be cured
There was a great line in some movie about a prep school -- maybe dead poets society.

There's a smart aleck in the class and the teacher says something like, ignorance can be cured by knowledge but stupidity is a permanent condition.

Now .... everyone who's upset about the fact that he's sending more troops to Afghanistan .... tell me WHY there weren't 10 threads a day about it when he promised to last year?

8. Obama Hates War
He just has a fetish for predator drones, landmines, escalation, the executive presidency and illegal wiretaps.

20. It IS a shit statement, one that I've only ever seen made on DU by YOU, here and now.
I've not seen it in another OP, ever.

Congratulations to you, for making a shit statement.

21. Your batting a thousand with silly OPs the past two days
Does he love war? Probably not. Is he advancing the war in Afghanistan, yep. Did he increase the defense budget 4% in 2009, yep.

I don't know if he loves war, he certainly isn't that opposed to it though.
