Reply #87: warmonger does not fit [View All]

sorry.

he is doing the best he can with the situation he inherited. an unstable, fucked up situation. contrary to popular belief, sometimes there are reasons for decisions like this.

That doesn't mean I like it. Or he likes it. Or anyone fucking likes it.

It sucks!

That's why we never should have gone in in the first place, because everyone with a brain knew this would happen! there is NO way to get out just because you know it's wrong. the lack of stability brought about by our invasion is incredibly dangerous to them, to us, to the world.

A warmonger is:
a person who encourages warlike ideas or advocates war

I've never heard him encourage or advocate war. IN fact, in situations where he has had control, he went the diplomatic route. wait and get more info route. like the whole georgia v russia thing, when mccain and barbie had us at war already with russia? those are war mongers.

You're pissed, I get it. but this is inaccurate and an undeserved slur.

you don't like how he's dealing with it. fine. but there are reasons. he didn't just wake up one day and decide to fucking attack someone for no reason, or defy the geneva convention, or pre-emptively invade people. and there is NOTHING about the guy and the way he handles foreign relations to back up "war monger".

Anger at the situation shouldn't blind us to the complexities of the situation. Everyone wants the war to be over. We all want to see Bush prosecuted. We all want the lives back of everyone who died for no fucking reason!

Obama isn't a warmonger. He can't wave a magic hope wand and fix the problem. He can't just pull out the troops now. Do you think he likes that? Come on.
