Foreign Policy

[NOVA]

I don't really feel like defending Obama here. I disagree with the "more right-wing" than Bush comment, but since I disagree with Obama on a lot of foreign policy stuff I just don't have the will to argue why he's better than Bush on some of these issues.

Considering BAC's post, I wouldn't attempt defending Obama either....he's lost more troops in Afghanistan in 4 years than Bush did in eight....and hes hit
it pretty much on target with the rest of his claims too....
though for the most part, I agree with parts of his handling of terrorists....
As for the better than Bush stuff....hes followed Bush's footsteps and has gone even further than I think Bush would have....be it Afghanistan, Pakistan or the Homeland
Security Act......its his economic and domestic policy I disagree with most....

Graham, McCain and Liarman are beating the war drums in Congress, again. Romney is elected there is no doubt we will become more deeply embroiled in all the crap that is going on in the Middle East. I see more war in our future if the Republicans gains control. It is the biggest reason I will vote for Johnson. No more war. There is a report out today that weapons we have sold the Saudis are showing up in Syria. We are fools and we will pay the price for our greed.

I'm voting for Jill Stein. I don't believe in lesser evil.

How is evil lesser when there's more war, death, and destruction?

I could not agree with you more .. we are fools.

That report on Saudi weapons is true.

So ask yourself .. who are the terrorists?

Just as a side question. Why does it matter if Obama is more or less warmongery than Bush? Bush isn't running, he can't run, comparing Obama to Bush on foreign policy is as pointless as comparing him to Mao, Churchill, George Washington and Larry the Cable Guy, take that last one back, Larry could run.
