I don't agree with most of Obama's foreign policy. But we're out of Iraq. Try to stick to the thread & topic of discussion.
You shouldn't be such a disingenuous hack. It's unbecoming.
do you think gwb made the right decision when he decided to invade iraq?

Then I suggest you follow your own example. My only purpose here is to help liberals live in the now. Most of you are still lost in the Bush years.

Yeah, we're out of Iraq. Using you're standard, we're apparently still waging war w/ Germany, as well.
This is a thread about Bush & Iraq, and the comment you were responding to was about Iraq. And hey - isn't it interesting that in a thread about Bush & Iraq, where you are saying that we're all still "lost in the Bush years," you & bravo & other righties have focused quite a bit of attention on Clinton?
So transparent.

Mega no. Watch "Hubris" this weekend on tv starring Rachael, the Rhodes Scholor.
But we're not waging war with Germany, and I never said that we were.
I am, however, inquiring about this:

I rarely use Clinton, and only when it's applicable. You losers are up to your eyeballs in Bush, and you may never climb out of that. That's the difference.

We're out of Iraq. You can say we're back "in" Iraq, but it's the same as saying we're back "in" Germany.
It's disingenuous. It's like saying those empty, old sarin cannisters they found were the WMD's we were looking for.
And I know it makes you righties uncomfortable when we talk about Bush. But hey - it is a political message board, and he was the previous President, and his policies do resonate, and it's also important that we learn from his many mistakes. If it makes you that uncomfortable, and you're so embarassed about him, you can steer clear of these threads.
I gotta say I love your choice of the John Birch society's rag as a legitimate source. Especially when it's four months old.
Not to mention your selective endorsement of Iraq over Afghanistan (no, we shouldn't be there) or North Korea (again the little fat bully on the playground).
Here's what you neocons don't understand. Bush created wars to depose leaders he decided to not work with anymore or started them based on lies - the neocon way.
I trust Obama to look at all sides of the story and conflicts and select the best possible avenue to deal with a crisis. As a liberal, and not a warmongering neocon, I can trust his faith in humanity to make the right decision.
I've presented a link, connected to the NY Times of all resources, that suggests otherwise. You, on the other hand, have provided zero links. The only source that remains is your own stupid liberal arrogance. You give yourself way too much credit.
Nah, I'll just focus on your obsession with blaming it all on Bush. That's not healthy.
Rubio is the leading contender.
Your memory needs a little refreshing, Jughead.
Heres some historical facts of your odd memories....
1. The threat level has been raised to Severe(red) only once, which applied only to flights coming from the United Kingdom: August 10–September 14, 2006, in response to British law enforcement announcing it had disrupted a major terror plot to blow up an aircraft.
2. That leaves High (orange) 5 times, and Elevated (yellow)
3. The threat level was never lowered to Low (Green) or Guarded (Blue)
Rubio will never be the nominee. Too much baggage.

Oh - so it was only raised to a "high" level that many times.
That really makes all the difference.
High five times on a nationwide level
September 10–24, 2002, the first anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
February 7–27, 2003, near the end of the Muslim religious holiday Hajj.
March 17 – April 16, 2003, around the beginning of U.S. and Coalition military action in Iraq.
May 20–30, 2003, after the Riyadh compound bombings and the Casablanca bombings.
December 21, 2003 – January 9, 2004, citing intelligence information suggesting large-scale attacks around the holiday season.
In addition, the alert has been raised to High on a select or partial basis three times:
August 1 – November 10, 2004,(ooooohhh election time) for specific financial institutions in northern New Jersey, New York, and Washington, D.C., citing intelligence pointing to the possibility of a car or truck bomb attack, naming specific buildings as possible targets.
July 7, 2005 – August 12, 2005, for mass transit systems only. after the 7 July 2005 London bombings despite the absence of "specific, credible information suggesting imminent attack"
August 10, 2006 – present, for all domestic airline flights and all international flights to or from the United States
for a total of 8 times over these 5 years...color sys. was replaced in 2011

"He who must not be named" - it's been nice. I hadn't responded to him since my name change, but that didn't stop him from pestering me with some variation of "what about Dems" almost every time I posted, and then the eventual "you're just afraid to debate me" when I ignored him.
Hope it's a permanent vacation.

Me too.
So I guess it was Orange not Red. I was mistaken. I remember when a DHLS official resigned over the political yoyo of the threat level.
