Did you know that Obama's replacing U.S. troops with Private contractors-like former soldiers. Because Obama could not work out a deal to renew Bush's 2011 deadline contract with Iraq, he's going to be re-allocating the troops just outside Iraq'a borders instead.
So technically, tens of thousands of contractors means less troops but in terms of military expenditure with regards to the other 6 wars he has going on... his average military budget still exceeds that of Bush's.
bush's body count is way bigger tho
you're talking troops right? Yeah and Bush should be accountable.
Obama's killing American citizens now. No wars can be compared if you take even one innocent life seriously.

nah i'm talkin total dead, on both sides.
death doesnt care about nationality
exactly, and thus why Obama might even be worse than Bush, though both are just as deadly in their foreign policy. Noam Chomsky explains why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mA4HYTO790 and Obama's imperilstic policies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiwAFIgGCkQ
i think somethin like 200,000 civies were killed under bush, directly. i dont care about indirectly as much...
not that i watched those videos, but contextually i assume thats what they are about. i'm listening to pretty lights; dont have time for spoken word right now...
At this rate, Obama's going to far exceed that number. Are you actually defending Obama?
It's people like you who claim to know the facts and then sit back and do nothing, while 1000's of civilians are killed. I'd probably then put you as a war criminal as well. This little girl's injury is on your hands then: http://www.youtube.com/verify_controversy?next_url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Ffeature%3Dplayer_embedded%26v%3D4R3sFvy1zGg
Do we have to wait at the end of 8 years to then voice our dissent in mere polls?
i got no real desire to see an injured little girl, nor have i ever killed anyone or given orders resulting in death.
if you want to say something, give me numbers of civilians killed as a direct result of war actions under bush and obama.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to obsolve him. They're all douches.
Cool! How many natives have you killed?
He's got us on that one.
hahahahahahahahahaha
how can something so heartbreakingly sad be so funny? i guess i cried enough about it to owe myself a laugh. maybe.
hell i dont know
Heartbreakingly sad? What's sad is that we live in a world where one half wants to kill the other half because we can't agree what happens to our soul when we die. I am not saddened by a the comparison of people sitting on their backsides whining about material goods to volunteer soldiers risking their lives so that idiots could pretend they're changing the world.
i think that is an accurate interpretation of what i meant, aside from the soldier shit. i never asked anyone to kill or die for me. fuck that. i didnt choose to be born here...
fuck a system where the most effective way out of poverty is to become a soldier and kill people. thats just horrible.
Buick, that's not the only way out of poverty.
ok i corrected that : )
