GOP exposing U.S. as weak emboldens Putin

[Erand7899]

So far, all the cons are laughing at their treason. They should change the name of their party to the Benedick Arnold Party. So proud to aid the enemy.

No, they are laughing at your ignorance. The Russians know more about what is going on in Washington than you do. Besides, Russia is not the enemy, Obama said so about 18 months ago. Didn't you get the memo?

 

[blackhawk]

The United States is not weak the current administration is though and the world figured that out when Syria crossed Obama's red line with no consequences and our ambassador in Libya was murdered without any response other than to try and claim the attack was over a video. The Republicans could have set back and not said a word and the world would still know Obama is a weak leader on the world stage Obama's actions or lack of are the reason world thinks we are weak.

If only we had a self-centered dictator who will starve his own people and kill hundreds of thousands for no reason except his own ego.

but oh no. We're stuck with a twice-elected president who is thoughtful and careful and works for jobs and economic recovery and refuses to invade and destroy countries who have done nothing to us.

Yep, Russians have a lot to be proud of in those faked photos of their ruthless dictator's faked exploits. And some dumb ass rw's fall for every bit of it.

Oh, but Putin really did shoot that tiger but only after the tiger had been caught in a snare so the slimy monster Putin couldn't get hurt if the poor animal fought back.

I think you are getting your talking points mixed up. Take another hit on that bong, and then try to put the numbers on those 3X5 cards in sequence. Everything gets clearer as the fog rolls in.

So THAT'S what's wrong. 3 x 5 cards. Needs a teleprompter. That always works.

The republicans are telling the whole world that the United states is weak. It is totally anti-American and treasonous. It's worse than Snowden's revelations. Playing politics with America's reputation, shows that the right wingers will do anything to make Obama look bad. If the voters of this country don't vote the republicans out of congress this year, they are as dumb as the GOP hopes they are.

How wouldn't we be? You had a president going over to Cairo for the expressed purpose of apologizing for America. As if he didn't need to make us appear weak before the entire Middle East and Iran. It's treasonous to fund terrorists in Syria and Egypt. It makes us appear weak when Obama draws his red lines and people continue crossing them because he is simply too feckless to follow through with his demands.

He makes us appear weak when he leads from behind and hides behind the international community. Playing politics with the lives of four men in Benghazi does nothing for our reputation, hangover, except that it shows the world we don't give a damn about people if they aren't serving a particular agenda. Obama will do anything to make America look bad.

And calling anyone who doesn't vote the GOP out of Congress "dumb" only makes YOU appear weak, bud.

this-*According to a*Congressional Budget Office*(CBO) report published in October 2007, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017 when counting the huge interest costs because combat is being financed with borrowed money.*now if you really want to play the game of adding interest to the cost, then we can noow start adding the long term interest to the costs of all programs, ok? I wonder what that would be for fighting climate change, or Obamacare, what about long term unfunded pensions, or even social security that should have been self sustaining if the idiots in Congress hadn't decided it was ok to raid it and issue iou's.

ridiculous point? what would that be jarhead? Your people blew $4TRILLION + on decade + long wars w/ 1000's of casualties & now you people think you have ANY business critiquing foreign policy? Priceless GTFO

Hey sparky....read these (thanks to a post by PolicalChic)...REALLY....read them........bet you don't!

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998.

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998.

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18,1998.

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998.

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.


"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 | Source

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 | Source

that would explain why the Repub Prez at that time had to keep changing his reason/s for wanting to invade 3+ times . The people knew better son but 43 & his neocon handlers did it anyway. $4TRILLION later.....

Really? We have a president who is thoughtful, careful, and works for jobs and economic recovery and refuses to invade and destroy countries who have done nothing to us? Did Obama retire while I was sleeping? Have I been asleep for 8 years?

Because I know you aren't describing Obama who is neither thoughtful nor careful. Who has done absolutely no work for an economic recovery. And who has overthrown a number of governments which did nothing to us.

Do liberals think that if we try to hide obama's incompetence no one will notice?

Do not confuse cleverness and shrewdness with weakness. Just because the Obama team did not react immediately with force does not equate weakness. Even as you and your gullible GoPPer friends echo the "weakness card" espoused by the likes of Hannity, Palin and Limbaugh, Obama is likely developing plans for retaliation against Putin. Thank God we have a thinking president for a change who does not react spontaneously to provocation in far away places.

Putin knows the American people are tired of war and would not likely support a new useless conflict. And, since the neoconservatives insist on publically berating our president and voicing their non support of anything Obama does, Putin makes his move. A move he will soon regret! Never underestimate Mr. Obama!

Obama is likely developing plans for retaliation against Putin.

Obama developing plans = a strongly worded letter full of empty threats.

Sorry to burst your inflated view of Barry....but, he has already shown that he's not clever nor is he shrewd on the world stage. He has shown himself to be weak with Syria and don't think our allies haven't taken notes.

Are you a moron or do you just play one here on these boards? The GOP is responsible for this? Really? You fuckers just won't quit with the blame, minimization, denial, obfuscation and defending the POS you voted for. FACE IT son? He's weak. He's out of his league, and so are YOU.

McCain should have retired long ago rather than get re-elected as a Senator masquerading as a Conservative. He should have had the decency to switch parties long ago.
