“Obama did not mention tension with Iran and Syria in his remarks to veterans and military families at a hot, sunny Memorial Day ceremony, focusing instead on the wars started by his predecessor, George W. Bush, that he wound down as president. “
right- George Bush started the war in Afghanistan.....fact is GWB wound down the war in Iraq before he left office while the situation in Afghanistan is considerably worse since obama took over...
Like his coming war on guns and religion (i.e., Christianity)?
“Absolutely necessary” in Obamugabe’s book means “I am going to lose the election according to Axelrod and Plouffe’s internal polls”.
“...focusing instead on the wars started by his predecessor, George W. Bush, that he wound down as president.”
No bias there. No, none at all. /s
F’k you, Reuters.
Does ‘no more wars’ include the civil war he is so desperately trying to invoke?
Prepping for Iran in October.
Most likely is trying to leave a future mess to Romney to deal with in the event the American people “fire him”, such as Iran.
Because the USA usually goes to war just because we feel like it. Jerk.
“I can promise you I will never do so unless it is absolutely necessary and that when we do, we must give our troops a clear mission and the full support of a grateful nation.”
I don’t think CW2 will create a grateful nation..
I like it. I will not pee unless absolutely necessary!
Unless it is for his masters needs.
Far too many American "Hero's" have either been killed or wounded in foreign adventures without the Declaration, which gives the politicians and American people a way out from supporting the cause 100%.
Obviously his fingers were crossed behind his back when he said it... How about all the OTHER wars he's started that he probably doesn't believe we attribute to HIM?
Obama's Gas-Powered War on Coal
The Obama Administration's war on carbon-based energy
Is Obama using culture wars to distract from the economy?
Obama's war on Financial Responsibility
Obama's "War on Women" Campaign strategy is imploding
Obama: My 'social gospel' work dispels 'war on religion'
Obama's real 'war' is against the elderly
Snip: Ironically, the truth is that it is always Mr. Obama steadying Granny in a wheelchair on the precipice of long, steep, marble steps
Obama's war on swimming pools could force hotel owners to take a bath
Snip: In January, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division handed down a new mandate requiring hotels and public pools to provide mechanical wheelchair lifts at both new and existing swimming pools (portable lifts will no longer be sufficient.) These facilities were originally given until March 15 to comply (the deadline was later moved to May 21). Violators could be fined tens of thousands of dollars by the Justice Department.
What a ***, Obama pledges no more wars unless “absolutely necessary” His comment implies that there were wars that were not “absolutely necessary”. Just SHAMEFUL!
...as opposed to?
Must be wanting Peace Prize bookends.
Does that count a civil war or a race war?
Does that count a civil war or a race war?
Al Reuters, still lying about history. The Iraq War was started by Saddam Hussein ten years before GW Bush ever took office. The Afghanistan war was started by al Qaeda on the 11th of September, 2001. If we say that Bush started that one, we'd have to say that FDR started WWII in the Pacific.
Necessary: for example if his poll numbers dropped during an election year.
