(l NP ) great speech Mr Obama

[tomdan34 at aol.com]

Nicely put.  I'd only add that in refusing to investigate the activities of the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Attack on Iraq, Barack Obama becomes an accessory after the fact.  He has issued a de facto pardon to Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell and Rice.

Love you Mike , but I think it was a bunch of little lies packaged around a big lie. The Big lie is that we were somehow liberating or helping Iraq. After killing half a million children through sanctions we proceeded to kill between a half a million and a million non combatants by dropping bombs everywhere and facilitating a giant civil war between Sunni and Shia, also driving millions out of the country. Got the oil contracts though. Thank the Good Lord for that. As far as the consistent heroism of US Troops: Abu Graibh, helicopter hunting of anyone who runs, raping teenage girls then executing them. Now Obama has presided over the escalation of mindless violence in Afghanistan. He is a big wimp, a gutless coward, a professional pimp for banksters and hired killers. Other than that he does have nice manners and a noble and lofty gaze into the distance. He can also talk without the wire feed into his ear.
