"For those of you that are pissed at Hillary's comments about Iran ~ let's talk about Obama shall we?" You will notice that Obama, in his comments, was not calling for an international coalition or increased assistance to the Pakistani government, but for a military invasion of a sovereign nation...an unstable sovereign nation with nukes.


This is bar none the worst thought out, weakest anti-Obama argument I have seen here yet.

FACT: Either Afghanistan or Pakistan have Osama Bin Laden inside their country. If we can possibly take him out, you think not taking him out is better? TAKE HIM OUT. Thats why were are in this bloody war anyways.

Iran, as far as I know, hasn't performed an act of aggression on a neighbour, or the USA in my lifetime...If you read up on the Iran, Iraq war, seems to me that was a stupid by Saddam to grab control of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, that was backed by the US, Soviets etc etc. Iran in fact... retaliated.

Comparing threatening to take out a military target that attacked us and killed our friends and families, on Sept. 11th 2001, to Obliterating a country that other than their error of having a ton of oil, is not the same thing...

not even close....

weakest argument EVER

< shame />
