Mitt Romney - Next President Thread.

[Behshad]

Hey Dave , why don't you just blame Obama for the Afghanistan war like Clint Eastwood did

You seriously gonna blame the casualties of a war - that Bush started and Obama is going to finish - on Obama ?!
I didn't know that a president had control over how many people die on battlefield. Kudos to Bush for being there front line and making sure he keeps the casualties to a minimum

For those with interpretive reading difficulties, I never said it was Obama's fault. I was simply making a comparison. During Bush's term in office, those casualty numbers were parroted in the media ad infinitum and were often blamed on the President. I have not seen that done since the day Obama took office. My statement was about how the media treated the same story between the two Presidents, not that war casualties are the fault of any one office holder.

Its pretty obvious why the media went after Bush because HE STARTED THE WAR ! DUH.
Why would they go after Obama , when he is trying to END THE WAR ?!

Yeah, he's trying to end war so vociferously that he's gotten us involved in a couple of other conflicts. Way to keep the troops occupied, Mr. Obama!

Wtf are you talking about ?! He ended the Iraq war and he is gonna end the war in Afghanistan before his second term is up You weren't that worried about our troops being occupied when Bush started two huge wars , yet you're slamming Obama for not ending the war fast enough for ya ?! Is there anuthing that Democrats have done that you remotely agree with ?!

Obama didn't really end the war in Iraq. As much as I think Bush was a complete failure of a President, it was his policies that led to the end of the war. If Bush's troop surge hadn't happened (something Obama was against), Obama wouldn't have been able to "end" the war to begin with.

Behshad, you weren't even around when those two wars started, so you have no idea whether or not I was worried about it. The war in Iraq was a mistake. We should've never been there to begin with. Afghanistan's a different story. They aided and abetted the group that plotted against and struck our country. If we hadn't pussyfooted around there, we could've wiped them out and finished off the war in just a few years rather than this 11-year debacle we're in now. That part's also Bush's fault but Obama certainly hasn't improved upon it at all.

I wasn't around ?! I'm not that young

As always , if Obama did anything good during his term like ending a war that Bush started , let's credit Bush for it.
However if he didn't end another war that Bush started , then it's Obama's fault. Sounds about right

Bush started two wars , one for the wrong reasons (Iraq). Luckily Obama finished that one and he will finish the second war as soon as its possible to end it. We would've finished the Afghanistan war much faster of Bush had focused on Afghanistan ONLY and never bothered with starting a war in Iraq. Give all the credit to Bush and put all the blame on Obama if it makes you feel better but that's doesn't change the facts , not the ones FakeFinder finds either

I'm thinking....

No you're not. You've never been able to think for yourself
If you're truly all about finding facts and sharing facts with us , it wouldnt be 100% one sided. You know you would have a better chance to get people to see things your way if you were a bit more unbiased and would share at least something from both sides until then you'll just remain OneSidedOpinionsCopyPaster

Shouldn't this all be in the Obama thread?

Dude, you're smarter than this. You weren't around ME when those wars were going on. I wasn't on this forum until 2005.

As always , if Obama did anything good during his term like ending a war that Bush started , let's credit Bush for it.
However if he didn't end another war that Bush started , then it's Obama's fault. Sounds about right

Look, it doesn't take a genius to figure this out but since I know you're not a genius, I'll humor you and explain it...If Obama had his way, the troop surge in Iraq would never have happened and the violence going on at the time likely would've continued. Bush pushed for it anyway and recent history shows he was wrong. End of story. Bush gets more of the credit for it, in my opinion.

We would've finished the Afghanistan war much faster of Bush had focused on Afghanistan ONLY and never bothered with starting a war in Iraq.

I already basically said this, so there's nothing new here.

Exactly , your opinion. Rightfully so. But far far from fact.


Obama would've ended the Iraq war regardless of what you think and credit Bush. And Obama will end the second war , and when he does , I'm sure you'll give props to Bush , cause afterall Obama wouldn't been able to end the war , if Bush hasn't started it
