72% of US Military Casualties in Iraq have occurred on OBAMAS WATCH
A total of 4071 American Soldiers have died since the beginning of hostilities.

Barack Obama joined the US Senate in early November of 2004 as the anti-war candidate and since then 2945 American soldiers have perished.

What has Obama done except to provide speeches? The blood of these soldiers is on his hands.

Just think of all the Iraqi civilians he could have saved if he had done something. He's all talk and no action.

And don't give me this bullshit that he will get the troops out, because Hillary will too. If you are going to hold her personally responsible for every death, then you might want to take a look at the candidate who talks a good talk, but can't seem to walk the good walk.

He has done NOTHING, NOTHING and hangs his hat and your hopes on a speech.

1. Your avatar is in direct contradiction to your rant
Hillary supported the war before she didn't.

216. Better he should help remove them, rather than give the government the means to keep them there.
And the percentage is 100%, a stat I'm sure gives great comfort to the families of the 72%.

BTW, is Obama still saying he's ending the war in 2009? I've lost track of his various plans.

sycophants that hitch their wagon to the feeding trough. What I would like to see is the disbandment of all PACs and jail time for all the underhanded shady deals for those complicit in compromising their positions of authority.

243. They tried that. I was vetoed
Defunding is not the answer, because I find it more than likely that Bush would repeat his using of the troops as a political tool and keep them there unfunded.

They have to pass a veto-proof act to witddraw them. If you can drum up the other 66 votes, I can promise Obama will deliver the 67th.

255. it would make more sense to keep the one he has
as your suggestion somehow blames him for the GOP members in the senate. We haven't had a decent majority in the senate for quite some time.

While I am npt sure your hobby seems to be attacking Obama, I guess supporting Hillary wasn't paying off as well?

Apart from that, their votes have been similar. Except, you know, Kyl-Lieberman, which she voted for.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. You people are obstinately obtuse.

And go into Pakistan to get AQ and Bin Laden, you know the ones that really attacked the USofA.

He voted against the cluste rbombs hillary supports.

The goddess of peace is not about peace at all. She ignored the NIE with regard to Iraq and ignores it with regard to Iran. An ignorant war monger.

I guess you aren't aware that your idol votes for every funding bill that comes up, when every Democrat prior to the 2006 elections said that the only way to end the war would be to vote NO to the funding bills.

3. As a Hillary supporter, this is not fair at all
The majority of Dems have kept voting to fund the war. Our entire Dem leadership has failed to live up to the promises made during the 2006 election. Neither candidate will be able to get our troops out as easily as you think. The blood of our soldiers are on the hands of Bush and Company.

not only by Obama, the hypocrite, but by Hillary and the rest of our Dems. Until Obama practices what he preaches, and votes down the next funding bill, then he most certainly does fit the description.

171. Now now. You do know that Hillary was the only senator who voted for the IWR, don't you?
And you do know that Obama was the only senator who voted against it, right? Oops, wait a minute, the hypocritical Obama wasn't around to vote back then for it. Maybe that's why he lies whenever he claims to be the only true anti-war candidate from the beginning and then he votes AYE on every vote to enable the war to continue via the funding bills. Kucinich pasted him good for his pathetic hypocrisy during the debates.

Edited on Sun May-04-08 12:43 PM by npincus
which is giving a monkey surrounded by neocons a pass to fulfill their PNAC dreams. And, how do you explain Hillary NOT reading the NIE on the eve of the vote? (and don't list all the others who didn't- THEY are not running for president).

As far as I'm concerned, everyone who voted to give the monkey his war dream has blood on their hands, Repukes and Dems. And they are not fit for the presidency.

Go ahead, defend away.

polices and the ability to enact them. No candidate is perfect, but I know who Hillary is. We are just finding out about Obama. Too much risk for me.

explain your nonsensical post (below) and it's relationship to the OP
The OP did not indict B*sh; it indicted Obama. Your post:

You mean it wasn't Bush's fault?

That is what the poster said and yet you claim the post made no sense. What planet have you been living on for 8 years?

252. You support a candidate who voted for this war....


because she was a spineless calculating opportunist with no morals or value or beliefs, other than to do whatever has the best chance of gaining her more power.


She thought the war would be popular and over quick... so she voted for it for one reason only, she thought it would help her political career.

And you support that.... no wonder you're desperate to drag Obama down to your disgusting opportunistic warmongering level.

17. What's Obama done? He's voted for every bill to enable this war to continue. Ask Kucinich
who pointed out the hypocrisy of Barack Obama and his claims of being the only true anti-war candidate. Dennis rightfully gave him an embarrassing dose of reality during the debates when he pasted Obama for claiming to be 100% anti-Iraq war, yet turns around and votes AYE for each funding bill that arrives on the Senate floor. Like Kucinich said, if Democrats really wanted to end the war, all they'd have to do is vote down the funding bill, but they're all afraid of being perceived as not supportive of the troops. That includes Obama, Hillary, and everyone else who votes AYE, but Obama is the only hypocrite because he claims to be the only true anti-Iraq war candidate. Kucinich nailed him good.

they had better fund it and find another way to bring them home. To vote not to fund this $#@%^&* war would have been nothing but symbolic. You people know damned well that it would never have passed. This stupid shit boggles the mind.

fallacy. The only way to end this war with bush in office is to cut off the funding. But the anti-war candidate obama couldn't find the fortitude within himself to do that, so he straddled the fence.

241. There is enough funding in the pipe to bring them home.
BUT, do you believe the Bush administration would meekly say "Ok.. Well, I guess the Democrats have won this one. Lets bring he troops home now."

Really? Honestly?

I don't buy it and I don't think you do either. Bush\Cheney would leave the troops in theater without supplies. They would watch our men and women die and use their blood to score political points against the Democrats. Or do you think they are too nice for that? Do you think they care about the safety of our troops too much to use them as pawns?

No, this is just a cheap, hypocritical attack on Obama.

119. With all respect to your nephews, your post is like saying Dennis Kucinich is out to lunch, and
don't ever tell me to stop playing games when soldier's lives are at stake. I've stood outside a local Post Office on numerous Saturday mornings over the last two years, protesting this war and even our own Senators who continue to enable the war by voting to fund it. Dennis Kucinich is 100% correct when he says that Democrats could stop this war in a second if they all get together to vote down funding....but they're all worried that they'll be blamed for "losing" the war.

20. When Obama gave that speech, he was pandering to those at the anti-war rally.
In preparing the speech he used words that others had already spoken. Wellstone, Hillary, and many others had already voiced the concerns he copied and tried to pretend they were his ideas. He was running for office, and needed those votes in the Chicago area - - nothing else.

In that speech he added things like - I don't oppose all wars just dumb wars and used the Civil War as an example of a war that was not dumb. God help us.

In that speech he kept saying "I know" - yet to this very day has not even once attempted to explain how he knew anything. He cannot explain it, because he was clueless back then regarding the distorted intelligence information, the fake yellow cake documents, the lying former-Iraqis, the irresponsibility behind the New York Times reports - - - - he was totally dependent entirely on copping what others had said. And this dishonesty blended with his willingness to tickle ears to pander votes has become one of Obama's greatest assets.

The massive deaths and destruction caused by the Civil War, the long-term aftermaths of the destruction, the decades and now centuries of repercussion from the unresolved issues prove the war was dumb.

Do I think the emancipation of slaves could have come to fruition without the war? YES

Do I think the Civil War was the results of the abject failure of many men that lacked the necessary skills to successfully run this beautiful nation back then? YES

He did this merely to tickle the ears of those at the anti-war rally - - exactly the way he gave his 'my parents crossed that bridge and I was born' speech that totally distorted the events in Alabama long after he was born, doing this to merely tickle the ears of those standing before him- - - exactly the way he said JFK was responsible for his daddy coming from Africa to school here, lying, pretending that his daddy did not come here before the notable involvement of JFK in the program.

This grabbing of sound bites to pepper his speeches is one of Obama's greatest assets.

He's the biggest hypocrite in the world for claiming to be anti-Iraq war and then voting AYE to fund it to continue because like all the other Democrats, he's afraid of being called unsupportive of the troops. Obama is on a self-serving mission, just like the rest of them who say one thing and then vote AYE.

Dennis Kucinich gave Obama a dose of humble pie about this during the debates. Maybe you weren't watching.

35. As someone who contributed to Obama's run for the U.S. Senate,
I was shocked when he started off his career in the Senate by voting to confirm Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State. Ms. Rice was one of the chief criminals who had conspired to take us into an illegal and immoral war, a war I had been led to believe Mr. OBama opposed. His voting record, including votes to continue funding for the criminal and illegal occupation of Iraq and the renewal of the so-called "Patriot" Act, has shown me to have had too much HOPE when I supported him, expecting CHANGE, but getting only the SAME OLD, SAME OLD.

70. Bottom line is who you trust to get us out of this war.
Do I trust the senator who had a chance to vote against it but didn't, or the citizen who spoke out against it at the time when everyone was calling dissenters "unpatriotic?" Do I trust the woman who didn't bother to read the intelligence estimate before voting to support cowboy diplomacy, or the man who says the way to peace in the world is not through ballistics but through talking to those who are not like us? Do I trust the senator who has lied and contorts language in the gambit of the day or the one with a consistent message?

79. Obama wasn't around then, so if he votes to fund the war now, he would've voted AYE to authorize it
if he was a US Senator then, in all probablility.

When it comes to funding the war he's the biggest hypocrite of anyone, just as Dennis Kucinich told him to his face during the debates.

If Obama wins this, he will stop the war.

121. but what he states is different from what you imagine...............
'I'm not privy to Senate intelligence reports. ... What would I have done? I don't know,' , "What I know is that from my vantage point the case was not made"
He said this as he ran for the Senate.


I like that better than Hillary Clinton, who did not read the CIA National Intelligence Estimate on Iraqi WMD before voting on the IWR.

Why not answer it again for those that don't live here in a perpetual state?
It's really quite simple, I will show you how it is done. Joe, will you be supporting HRC if in the extremely rare case, she wins the nomination? Joe answers yes, I will even campaign for her as well as vote for her. Joe asks: Massdem, will you be supporting Obama in the fall if he wins the nomination. Massdem fails to answer the question.

What other conclusion can I draw if you fail to answer the simple question?

The answer is it would not have. And if you really want to get down to the nub of the whole thing, Hillary did not want to go into Iraq, she wanted the US to have leverage for inspections and that worked. What bush did after that lies at his feet and cheney's ONLY.

The Ds who voted yes all voted from a position of cowardice. Had the war gone spectacularly they would have been on the wrong side of a popular war.

BTW that includes Kerry, Edwards, etc.

They give good insight into the mind of a HRC supporter. It also gives me a chance to ask the question: Will you be supporting Obama in the fall if he is the nomination? Have you answered that one yet? I like to show everyone how this question is avoided.

148. Watch/Listen to Obama lie about how he would never fund the war
Of course that was Nov 2003.
The campaign built on change ...changing one's mind is what he really meant.

150. Maybe you got something!
You should tell Hillary to make this argument. Let's see how far she goes with it. :)

You do know that everyone in DU made up their minds about who shares responsibility for getting us in Iraq, don't you? You understand that all the spinning in the world won't change this fact, right? When only Hilbots agree with you, that speaks volumes.

157. EVERONE in Congress who voted for this insane war
Edited on Sun May-04-08 08:52 AM by Tippy
Has blood on their hands....All Hillary had to do was to say she made a mistake voting FOR the war.
Every one who voted with bush was wrong...rubber stamping his decision was wrong....But we all know most lacked the COURAGE to do so, do they have troulbe sleeping at night, probably not because for the most part, it's not their kids dying over there.

162. SInce hostilities began in Iraq, have there not been elections
every two years? And during those elections, have not all of the representatives in D.C. and one third of the senators been elected, reelected, or replaced? And of the ones reelected time and time again, how many of those are equally complicit?

What steps have been taken by persons who espouse the meme of "WDOD" (What did Obama do) about ousting those who are guilty of the same sin you ascribe to Obama? Are there not others in the same halls whose hands are as bloody as you say Obama's are?

177. Every Senate Democrat should be.
Except for Webb, Feingold and a few others, they have all been too compliant.

The point is we have a choice between two candidates now.

One who supported, gave speeches about the need for and authorized an illegal and unfounded war.

And, one who spoke out against it, calling it for what is was, and ended up being right about the crippling effect on our country, our economy and our military.

Of course chimpy, dickie and their war crimes administration is to blame. But, they did it with the support of many Democrats.

This war was a mistake, and illegal. It broke out country and we are suffering a recession and losing many lives because of it. The experts and inspectors at the time told us it was a big mistake.

If I have the choice to vote for someone who understood that at the time, or someone who either bought the propaganda or supported it's aims....
I choose the one who got it right.

Edited on Mon May-05-08 10:56 AM by MessiahRp
It's the "Hillary is entitled to the throne" mentality in this one. I don't disagree with open blatant racism from the Clinton camp on other occasions but I think this one is born out of complete disbelief that their Queen will not be coronated as they once thought.

Besides it reeks of the most ridiculous of accusations. After all it was her vote that sent them there to begin with and her Kyl/Lieberman vote that would keep them there engaged in a World War for generations into the future.

Of course you can't point this out to the same delusional people who were calling her "The Goddess of Peace" just weeks before she said she would "obliterate" Iran with nuclear weapons.

Usually Goddesses of Peace aren't threatening to exterminate a country who doesn't even have equal weaponry in return.

176. Pathetic.
This kind of wild-eyed, finger-jabbing projection used to be an exclusively right-wing tactic. It's telling, I think, that it's now being deployed by DU's Hill-mongers. Pretty much proves how desperate they are, and how intellectually bankrupt. The fact is, Hillary voted to authorize, while 23 senators voted not to (including one Republican, for God's sake). The fact is, Obama was nearly prescient in his on-the-record opposition to the war, and was brave enough to speak out at a time when the "patriotic" thing to do was to play go-along get-along with Bush.

If you wanted to vote for a candidate on the issues: Peace,Not for profit Health care,Accountability,Election Reform,
Environment,Human Rights and so on.
You should have fought a lot harder for the candidates that at least had those Ideals in their campaign. :mad:

261. I didn't need to
Even Ted Kennedy does not vote against the funding - that does not make him for the war.

The only vote I fault Obama for on the war is on Kerry/Feingold. There was likely intense to not vote for it - HRC and WJC were awful on that and Kerry in particular was vilified for it. HRC got to that point only after the Nov 2006 election and never admitted that she had been wrong - either in 2006 or in 2002.

You are,of course, repeating Bill Clinton's distortion. He forgets that it was HIM who was pretty much in line with Bush once the war started - as he said repeatedly in his July book tour. Obama was - even then - stating that he agreed with Bush that you needed a stable Iraq - but disagreed how to do it (and agreed pretty much with what Kerry was saying).

195. LET IT STINK FOLKS, LET IT STINK.
i find it ironic that the OP is having a fit over Obama and the Iraq War when he's running against two candidates that voted to make it possible in the first place.

i think we refer to that as misplaced anger.

but there is no reasoning with this, by this standard, Obama is the same as Clinton.

but by this standard the OP has made Clinton just like McCain.

nice going.

I would be very pissed if he voted agnist supplying our troops in a war zone with the proper equipment once they are there.
To me you know this hurts your candidate and are stretching at anything to justify her vote for the war.

Maybe you should enlist or run for office if you think things are so easy to change.

So, you think he should have taken Busch hostage - and release him when he brings the troops back from Iraq?

Hillary voted to give the president the power to go to war.

Barack voted against military occupation.

Your argument would make more sense if you use Hillary.

It's not Baracks or Hillarys fault - it's the retard POTUS fault.

well well Obama is ALMOST as bad as the warmongering candidate I support, so there.


Hillary voted to start the war, didn't even read what she voted for.

Obama has voted to keep the troops supplied until this mess can be cleaned up.


Trying to spin support for the troops as support for the war is a disgusting right wing tactic.... and pathetically typical for the hillrod followers desperate to rinse the blood of her hands.

266. I would guess the Commander-in-Chief and voters in favor of the IWR had a LOT more...
to do with it, but then, I am also rational.

267. Your just bitter that Clinton voted for the thing in the first place.
Don't worry she will get out of Iraq "IF" there is no longer an Al Queda presence there.

278. Hillary is the one who voted to authorize spending on this war, not Obama. Please get your facts
straight and rant at the correct person.

280. Hillary's plan to get troops out: Vote for Kyl/Lieberman and ramp up war rhetoric with Iran
Sounds like those troops will be on the next flight home alright.... :eyes:

283. So Obama should not vote for soldiers to have protection and vets to have services?
I guess voting against protecting the troops and veterans would be a better idea?

287. You're absolutely fucking deranged. 100% have occured on Hillary's watch!
SHE FUCKING VOTED FOR IT. And not only that, she's too stupid to learn from it and then voted for Kyl/Lieberman, which is a prelude to war if I ever saw one.

289. He Should Totally Obliterate Iraq Since He Is So Militaristic
Oh wait, he actually laid out a comprehensive plan for eliminating the vast majority of the world's existing nuclear weapons (yes, including our bloated stockpiles). Meanwhile, Clinton goes out of her way to make sure they are "on the table" and talks like a cowboy about potential genocide (without batting an eye).

293. This thread is nonsense but
I don't believe either one of our potential candidates, Obama and Clinton, have done enough while in the Senate to help us get out of Iraq.

If Obama was sooo anti-war he should've proposed many, many bills that called for immediate withdrawal.

But neither have, and some of it is political. That's the way it goes.

At least Kucinich tried.
