US drone strikes target rescuers in Pakistan Also: Congress takes on Obama over drone kills — RT Gotta say that this makes me feel a little sick to my stomach. [InB4: "It's war, and war is hell, so it's ok."]

It's ok, he's a democrat. We don't ciriticize democrats for war crimes.

OK, here we fucking go. Everything bad that happens from 2008-2012 is directly and solely Obama's fault, but when something positive happens it's never due to his efforts.

I think murdering innocent people with missiles from the sky pretty much overrides everything else. And yes, everything in 2009-2013 is Obama's fault, just as everything from 2001-2009 is Bush Jr's fault. They're both murdering, warmongering scumbags. But here's a question: why did the anti-war crowd (excepting Ron Paul supporters) suddenly go silent when Obama took office?

I don't see 'everything' in Oneironaut's post. Actually I just see stuff about America's foreign policy. Which is under the control of Obama. What a silly post.

Using terrorism to fight terrorism. How stupid.

Using terrorism to fight terrorism. How stupid. Not only stupid, it also undermines any moral authority that the US government might have had for its citizens. Why pay taxes to an organization that is just as evil as your supposed enemy?

Man, don't even fuck around, the US military is into so much shit we don't even know about, there are enough fucked up people out there that Obama is the last person you need to be focusing on like that right now. I guess my point is that there's enough fucked up shit going on in every facet of our society that as long as we keep sitting around playing the blame game on each alternating president that comes along we're not going to get shit done and people are gonna keep (figuratively) getting away with murder. Nobody ever changed anything by going "Obaba's a shithead." "Bush is a shithead." "Clinton is a shithead" "H.W. is a shithead"; and every four or eight years it's just a different group of people saying that; and I can't say it wasn't me 2000-2008. No, our problems are a lot bigger than that - which is why, despite everyone's expectations, just electing a new president doesn't [I]do[I/] a fucking thing about it. It's time for people - and I'm not pointing out anyone here in particular but jut people in general - to get wise to this farce and start actually doing something about our problems. Asking someone else to exert your democratic will for you is like asking someone else to piss for you. You have to get the fuck up and do it yourself.

...which is why some of us support Ron Paul because chances are he would fuck shit up in Washington (in a good way). Unfortunately, douchebags are quick to call him a wacko because he has the audacity to return the size and power of the government back to what it was in the 1990's. Remember, that time in the 90s when everyone was living on the streets because of not enough government programs? Oh wait.

[Alric]

You right, it doesn't solve anything. Which is why Obama should be arrested and tried treason. Afterwards, there is a good chance the next president would tow the line and follow the actually laws in place instead of acting like a dictator. Obama openly admitted he has the right to assassinate US citizens without trial, and has done so. That right there is treason. If your not horrified by the war crimes our military does, you should be horrified by the murder of US citizens without trial.

> that feel when this guy is still better than his political opposition. Gary Johnson or Ron Paul? lolno

I'm talking about the presidential election, of course. I concede that there may be two or three well-intentioned politicians in your parliament somewhere.
