What should we think about Obama's about face on war and talking to terrorist?

Question

Obama says he will talk to terrorist and now he says he will violate international law by invading Pakistan.
He also says he will use his faith on non believers code talk for Islam.
He and his PR people are spinning the truth about an innocent man in Iowa Davit Zarakian who was selling parody cards and falsely charged and used by Obama to get media free face time.
He did not vote for the war and now he is saying he will go farther than even Hillary.

OK what is this a leader or a liar?
Can he be trusted?

Snake gets it.
The rest so far show they do not.
Good job Snake

Answer 1

Obama.. Osama.. eh.. whats the diff??? they are both muslim, both terrorists.. just one is out of the closet and into a cave somewhere. Why would I say both are terrorists? ask that guy in Iowa... Im sure hed agree.
Obama was indoctrinated early into Islam, and its something that doesnt leave you. In fact if you look closely enough you will find that you can covert from any religion to Islam.. but you CANT convert from Islam to any other religion without being a target for any good muslim, in fact it says that a muslim who renounces Islam is marked for death... trust me, hes a muslim. As for invading Pakistan or ANY other country where terrorists train or are protected by that government, Id rather see something more covert than an open invasion... ya know?

Answer 2

understand that I don't neccesarily either trust or agree with Obama, BUT he was never opposed to the war in afgahnistahn which he describes as a targeted war, the war in Iraq, even in October 2002, when it was just being thought about, he callled a dumb war. There is every reason to believe Pakistahn is harbouring Alquaeda and Taliban members, and he has said that if proof comes, he'll invade. Also I can't seem to find *any* reference to this Davit Zarakian person. Finally the others are correct Obama is Christian in any event.

Answer 3

People complain he was not going to be tough so he gave those people a sound bite.

I just don't think he would go into Pakistan no matter what he would need bin laden standing out in the open with a sign saying I am here.

Talk is cheap I like to see some action first.
Why doesn't he submit a bill to authorize Bush to go into Pakistan?

Answer 4

I agree with Goldenrae^^

..Obama is the ONLY one talking sense...why wait for another 3000 americans to die before we say "oh, we should have got them in Pakistan" Lets not make the same mistake Rumsfeld made in 2005.

Yes, we have fought a war that has shown no real breakthoughs....but that was under the BUSH administration where he invaded and occupied Iraq when the troops should have been in Afghanistan fighting terrorists.

Now the threat is greater than ever...and they have learned regrouped and are getting ready for another attack. If Pakistan blocks country access to the area where al qaida is, then the US can move in and perform its military strikes without involving the rest of the country. Its the best option being that there are strictly terrorist out there and there are no civilians. ITS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY. This is just common sense.

But under the Bush administration OIL HAS TO BE INVLOVED....thats the real reason we are in Iraq between a civil war that everyone predicted was going to happen when Saddams regime collapsed. And Bush wants to stay there to secure OIL........OIL that he's too old to really enjoy and OIL that we will eventually phase out of dependency for....this greed has caused 3500+ soldier deaths....making 9/11 related casuallties at about 7000.

If we miss the chance to get "thousands" of terrorists in Pakistan then thats a potential "thousands" of terrorist attacks on US soil....and it could happen to someone you love...

....lets not be stupid...if we are there right now.....lets finish this war....we are ameriicans....we dont run....and we stand up for ourselves....

we have to destroy the massive threat there and prevent another spectacular attack on our soil....that is the biggest threat.......way bigger than any civil war in iraq....

we can remove the terrorist threat in pakistan and then tender to Iraq matters later, while keeping a small about of troops there to keep things from going completely overboard....because the fact remains that as long as we remain in Iraq suicide bombers will continue to come down from Pakistan and set our progress bakwards....the situation with Iran is not helping either...

we have to invade Pakistan if they will not act.....its common sense.....and like Obama.....its the audacity of Hope.

Answer 5

Umm...he's a politician. Why is it that every 4 years we have a presidential election, and yet no one in this country seems to understand that it's all smoke and mirrors? They ALWAYS lie, they always make promises that they don't keep, and they always have a reason. It's politics.

FYI: None of this matters. The popular vote for president is not the deciding factor in an election. It doesn't matter who you vote for, the electorial college chooses the president, and they are NOT obligated to follow the popular vote. Quit lying to yourselves and realize what the rest of the world already knows. We are NOT a democracy. In a democracy, it's "One person, one vote"

Answer 6

You should definitely add a link when you make such outlandish statements. He never said he was against wars but he was against dumbs wars he also never suggested we invade pakistan he said if we have actionable intelligence and they wont act we will, its a strike not an occupation. This is already our foreign policy. You didnt mention him advocating 5B dollars to fund an international intelligence agency so countries can communicate or the hundred million he said he would give to help pakistani goverment fight al-qaeda, stop cherry picking.

Here's the link since you were too biased to add it

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070802/wl_asia_afp/usvote2008pakistan_070801211857;_ylt=AoMfNtd95jm6tK_1U6wCkoslbuRF

Answer 7

Look the fact that he did not vote for "the" war in Irak does not mean he vowed not to go to war ever...I think he's entitled to his opinion on how to insure the security of the US. By the way I still think we're better off security wise with the Reps.

Answer 8

I vote Obama and Hillary go talk to the Terrorists

Answer 9

It means he lost my vote the same as Hillary for her stand on Iraq. Why won't people vote for someone who will stand for the USA? Vote out incumbents until we get politicians who will work for legal Americans. Will the sheep follow the party or think independently?

Answer 10

Obama has been declaring many policies that are not coherent to each other thereby causing inconsistencies.

VOTE for you choice as US President on my 350 degrees blog and know if Obama will likely win.
