Pakistan: Stop American 'Drone Wars' that are killing our civilians

No see, its not bias, its called reality. Everyone (besides Paulbots) knows that its either going to be scumbag Gingrich or Obama's brother from another father Romney. Either way no matter who of the three wins we all lose.

Of course he would, its Jack Johnson vs John Jackson! The only difference between Obama and Romney is skin color and religion! Both are neocon corporate whores who are bought and paid for by big business! And we WILL see Iran be "liberated" by America no matter who is elected sadly. Now on to Gingrich, normally im a pretty liberal guy, but Im all for a law that requires mandatory sterilization for anyone that votes for that rat faced piece of shit!

This article is complete bullshit! Who wrote this? a PR person for the DNC?

U.S. President Barack Obama said on Sunday there were important risks to consider before any military strike against Iran and made clear he does not want to see more conflict in the oil-producing Gulf region.

Right, except for TRYING to extend the Iraq war and TRYING to spend billions more $$$ to bomb Syria like he did with Libya (without congressional approval)

Then there is this gem

Despite Obama's stated preference for a diplomatic solution, he said from the White House on Sunday he would not take options off the table to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

So he has no problem bombing yet another country who NEVER ATTACKED US just because they are pursing a PEACEFUL nuclear program as a more permanent form of energy for their company, sounds like neocon Obama to me!

Remember a few years ago a bunch of idiots thought Iraq had something to do with 9/11... that's you, now, except with the president. You're one of those idiots.

No, youre one of those idiots that thinks we can "win" in Afghanistan and we should just "stay the course"

You don't even know what the president does, just that everything bad is his fault.

lol, you just described yourself and the rest of you moron Obamabots from 2001 to 2009 (and most of you morons STILL believe it). Nice post but I didnt ask you for a self description. :)

Well lets see, you dumbshit sheep ObamabotS use the logic that anything that happened under the 8 year Bush admin was automatically his fault, but that same dumbshit logic doesnt apply to Obama? I knew you Obamabots were fucking morons, but I thought you dumbshits were at least consistently stupid, apparently not. Now go back to cheering on your dear leader using drone strikes to kill innocent women and children in the middle east!

Considering we dont have any of the three things you mentioned, and in fact Obama has pushed us further AWAY from socialized medicine by making every us citizen a customer of the health insurance companies by LAW, it really DOESNT matter...

Late last year I reported on how the Department of Justice refused to reveal the legal justification for the United States’ highly secretive drone-based targeted killing program in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the New York Times.

After that failed attempt, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has stepped up to the plate in an effort to get the Obama administration to actually live up to their promises of transparency.

However, the government continues to nonsensically claim that the program is indeed so incredibly secret that they cannot even confirm or deny the existence of the program itself.

Even more illogical is that Obama himself comes out boasting about the program whenever it is politically beneficial for him to do so.

As the Arab Spring unfolded last year, protesters in the streets saw something startling about the tools of repression being used on them. The Humvees, tanks, helicopters were from the US government; the canisters of chemical agents used to attack them said, "Made in the USA."

Can we help governments abuse their people? YES WE CAN!

President Barack Obama's administration has been delaying its planned $53 million arms sale to Bahrain due to human rights concerns and congressional opposition, but this week administration officials told several congressional offices that they will move forward with a new and different package of arms sales -- without any formal notification to the public.

It amazes and saddens me how Obamabots can support him when he does stuff like this, he should be brought up on war crimes!

And before the Obamabots say "derp, its just republicans being obstructive, blame the republicans!"

The opposition to Bahrain arms sales is led by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA), and also includes Senate Foreign Relations Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee chairman Robert Casey (D-PA), Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-IL), and Sens. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Benjamin Cardin (D-MD), and Marco Rubio (R-FL).

As much as I would love to see America become a progressive nation, if you think the re-election of Obama is going to start a new progressive movement, you are living in a fantasy land. Obama has been one of the best republican presidents in the past 2-3 decades, he is so far from progressive its not even funny, the problem is this country has slanted so far right that people actually view him as progressive when he is in fact a corporatist republican...

When Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush on June 9, 2008, the 35 had been selected from drafts of nearly twice that many articles.

President Obama has accumulated his own massive list of high crimes and misdemeanors that were unavailable for Bush’s list (thing’s like openly murdering U.S. citizens, launching massive drone wars, selectively and abusively prosecuting numerous whistleblowers as spies, holding Bradley Manning naked in isolation, attacking Libya without so much as bothering to lie to Congress, etc.).

Nonetheless, it is instructive to review the 35 Bush articles in the Obama age. It quickly becomes apparent that Obama has either exactly duplicated or closely paralleled most of the 35.

Holy shit, LOL! Im amazed you are this dumb, did you even read any of the articles you linked to? NONE OF THESE ARTICLES BACK WHAT YOU ARE SAYING RETARD! Afghanistan was a failed state DECADES AGO, WELL BEFORE WE "LIBERATED" IT! There is NOTHING we can do to change that! NOTHING! Why dont you try actually READING the articles you linked to!

LEARN SOME BASIC HISTORY YOU FUCKING MORON!

And stop using Dunning-Kruger until you learn WTF it means, its like watching a 6 year old repeat a word they heard their parents say!

You got a party of parasites and another party who is basically good guys, but sometimes compromises with the parasites or cleans up their shit and you want to blame both?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! Thank you for the laugh. I didnt think there was still anyone who was dumb enough to genuinely believe in the whole dems good repubs bad bullshit, but here you are! I cant imagine you live in a city because a simple minded fool such as yourself would be eaten alive!

And this folks is the typical Obama supporter, the reasoning abilities of an 8 year old!

Sorry, I don't find it humanitarian to leave Afghanistan as a failed state.

You need to learn how to be honest with your rhetoric.

You need to learn some BASIC history before you keep running your uninformed mouth. Why dont you start by asking Russia how well occupying Afghanistan worked out for them. But let me guess you think we are going to be different amirite?

Please, keep a civil tongue. Name-calling will not win over anyone.

Im not here to win anyone over, im here to correct people's mistakes, such as your mistake of calling Obamabots "enlightened". Also, why do you tell me to be civil but dont ask anyone else? Theres plenty of name calling against republicans in this sub forum, its a little hypocritical to tell the anti Obama people to be civil but be silent when the dumbshit Obamabots spew their DNC talking points.

He is anti-racism, pro-choice, pro-embryonic stem cell research; socially, and that's the only conservatism "measured" in the study, he would be liberal, sorry if "progressive" isn't the right word.

Using this study to label someone as a "liberal" is fucking stupid. A liberal does not illegally spy on americans, a liberal does not crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries, a liberal does not have a record number of deportations of illegal immigrants, a liberal does not bomb innocent women and children in foreign countries, a liberal does not assassinate US citizens without due process, a liberal does not sign our right to habeas corpus away, a liberal does not push the war on drugs which is a RACIST policy!

So stop calling Obama liberal or progressive, he is NEITHER of these!

Excuse me sir, this is a republican bashing thread, your facts arent welcome here.

For such an enlightened crowd, you should also realize that this is a UK study.

Lol, the last thing anyone would ever call Obamabots is "enlightened". They are the Fox Newstards of the democratic party, same stupidity just a different party.

The conservative Prime Minister is probably about as progressive as Obama is.

Im confused because Obama is in no way shape or form a progressive, he is a corporatist republican. The problem is the US is slanted so far right that many people think he is a progressive

Once again, 8th grade comprehension, no rational argument, just "no you dont!"

Come back when you learn what the definition of hyperbole is. I say this because everything I say is 100% TRUE and verifiable based on his actions. You see this as hyperbole because like the typical obama supporter you have the comprehension ability of an 8th grader (which is why you thought his SOTU speech was so good) hence you cant believe the sad truths about the neo con currently in office.

The cost of securing these protests against economic inequality and political corruption also pales in comparison to one large figure: the wealth destroyed by Wall Street’s recession. The recession caused by Wall Street’s misdeeds destroyed $50 trillion of wealth globally by 2009, $20 trillion of that wealth in the United States alone. ThinkProgress has assembled the following chart to visualize these comparative costs:

Man, dont you hate it when FACTS get in the way of your borderline retarded view of reality? But go ahead and keep believing the DNC that the banks arent so bad, I mean come on we all know how bias that right wing Think Progress site is! They must hate Obama because he is black, because clearly he is a great president who does nothing wrong and CERTAINLY hasnt sold the people down the river to help prop up the banks.
