Can you imagine Obama being anywhere remotely close to a battle?

Oh man. A lot of stupidity in this thread.
First off, It would be completely ridiculous to have the American President in a fighter jet. Way too much risk for the leader of the free world. I dont care who is the president, republican or democrat, We are all more stupid from hearing your idiotic statement.

Sadly enough, this all would've never happened if Bush was still in charge. We defeated these clowns in 2006 and his royal highness Obama decided to end the war early, pull everybody out, and release most of the captured terrorists back to go fight.

Firstly, we didnt defeat these clowns in 2006, look at the casualty lists since 2006. We pulled out because the war was not a winnable one. There is no leader of their movement to concede the war, and the factions that exist in that world are not readily defined. In WW2 and WW1, the germans had leaders and a structure that was able to concede, they were uniformed so we actually knew who we were fighting. The difference between this Unwinnable war is their "troops" are not uniformed, and have taken the strategies of Vietnam. Shit we bomb one cell of terrorists and even though the people we kill ARE terrorists, their propaganda machine can easily come out and say "these people were regular citizens, just look at their clothes" and the american people eat it up and think we are committing atrocities over there.
Bush was not the answer, he knew the terrorists were in Afghanistan and Pakistan, yet somehow we ended up in Iraq. (i.e. oil). He called Mission Accomplished, in 2003, yet the mission was not nearly done.
Obama didnt end the war EARLY. and it drives me crazy when i see people say that. How long were you expecting us to be in these countries? And prior to the withdrawal the republicans and democrats were both saying "Let these countries deal with their own problems". But for some reason NOW you want us to be the World Police. If we dont take into account the Loss of our soldiers lives over there, and focus on fiscal responsibility, we have spent over 4.4 TRILLION Dollars there. And you want more war and more money to be put there? The estimate for the cost of deploying one U.S. soldier in Afghanistan is over $1 million a year.
Couple facts about this great war Since 2001:
- over 6800 troops have died.
- $4.4 Trillion dollars spent on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
- over 350,000 people (on both sides) have died as a result of the wars.
- Civil liberties we had before the war, are long since gone. People trust the government much less than we did before the war.
Long enough for ya?
