Obama & Co = Warmongers
+ A junkyard solution to IEDs / Christian Science Monitor:
--"Army mechanics have jury-rigged a minesweeper in Afghanistan, where roadside bombs have killed five recently." + UNITED STATES CAUGHT IN IRAQ CAR-BOMBING / Free-Market News Network, Corp. (FMNN): --“This time it is the Americans captured in the act of setting off a car bomb in Baghdad. Last time ... two British soldiers ... were caught ..." “... 'A number of Iraqis apprehended two Americans disguised in Arab dress ... they looked suspicious so they detained the men ... Just as in the British incident ... the two men were removed from Iraq custody and wisked away before any questioning could take place.” + Who is behind the car bombings in Baghdad? / Antomy Loewenstein: --“... the Americans … gave him a mobile phone and told him to drive into a crowded area near a mosque and phone them. ... he got out of the car to where he received a better signal. Then his car blew up.” “… an Iraq interpreter ... got suspicious because the Americans called him every now and then asking him if he’s already in the market. He parked the car in the middle of nowhere and answered yes; a few minutes after that the car exploded.” + Afghan Guards Confound U.S. Forces / Wall Street Journal: --"... there have been at least three significant firefights between American forces and Afghan guards in recent months, and a host of other violent incidents. ... some guards take orders from the Taliban or drug gangs. ... 'They recruit former fighters who answer to the Taliban, and they recruit criminals.' ... many of the guards have more powerful weapons than the national police and army, including rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns.... By law, the guards are supposed to carry nothing more powerful than AK-47 assault weapons, but the government is ill equipped to take away the heavier weaponry. "For security reasons, we can't collect all of their weapons," said Gen. Farahie. "We're not strong enough." + In Afghanistan the few, not so proud, police, get trained by Marines / Washington Post (found on PrairiePundit website): --"Col. Gula Agha Amiri, executive officer of the 7th Afghan Border Police, complained of his unit's lack of body armor and chronic shortages of ammunition and fuel. 'If we have contact with the enemy, we can't fight for more than two hours,' he said." "U.S. Army Capt. Michael Repasky, chief of the team that mentors the border police here ... 'I've been here five months and haven't been able to figure out why they aren't getting fuel,' ... That, in turn, makes the border police officers reluctant to move beyond their headquarters in the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah ..." + Taliban gets Chiense arms / BBC: --"Afghan officials have also privately confirmed to the BBC that sophisticated Chinese weapons are now in the hands of the Taleban. ... They said these included Chinese-made surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft guns, landmines, rocket-propelled grenades and components for roadside bombs. A senior Afghan official told the BBC: 'Chinese HN-5 anti-aircraft missiles are with the Taleban, we know this... and we are worried where do the Taleban get them, some of these weapons have been made recently in Chinese factories.'" + China arming terrorists / Washington Times (found in Free Republic ): --“New intelligence reveals China is covertly supplying large quantities of small arms and weapons to insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban militia in Afghanistan, through Iran.” 'Some arms were sent by aircraft directly from Chinese factories to Afghanistan and included large-caliber sniper rifles, millions of rounds of ammunition, rocket-propelled grenades and components for roadside bombs, as well as other small arms." + Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize / LA Times --“President Clinton and his national security team ignored several opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist associates, including one as late as last year.” ”President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, who wanted terrorism sanctions against Sudan lifted, offered the arrest and extradition of Bin Laden and detailed intelligence data about the global networks constructed by Egypt's Islamic Jihad, Iran's Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas.” ”The silence of the Clinton administration in responding to these offers was deafening.” + United States and state terrorism / Wikipedia: --“Arno Mayer, Emeritus Professor of History at Princeton University, has stated that ‘since 1947 America has been the chief and pioneering perpetrator of 'preemptive' state terror, exclusively in the Third World and therefore widely dissembled.’” + Nightline / ABC News (June 9, 1993): --Ted Koppel reported: “It is becoming increasingly clear that George Bush Sr., operating largely behind the scenes throughout the 1980s, initiated and supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military help that built Iraq into an aggressive power. Reagan/Bush administrations permitted--and frequently encouraged--the flow of money, DUAL-USE TECHNOLOGY, chemicals and weapons to Iraq." + Another Automaton of the Atomic Lobby: Barack Obama's Nuclear Ambitions / CounterPunch --"The Clinton years indeed saw an all-out expansion of nuclear power, not only in the US, but all over the globe. First came the deal to begin selling nuclear reactors to China ... even though Zemin brazenly vowed at the time not to abide by the so-called "full scope safeguards" spelled out in the International Atomic Energy Act. The move was apparently made over the objections of Clinton's National Security Advisor Sandy Berger, who cited repeated exports by China of "dual use" technologies to Iran, Pakistan and Iraq. The CIA also weighed in against the deal, pointing out in a report to the President that "CHINA WAS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORT SUPPLIER OF EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY FOR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" worldwide." Plus Read: + Nuclear Leaks and Response Tested Obama in Senate / NY Times: --Obama's radioactive-leaks bill = caters to Power Co. + Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy / Boston Globe: --Obama helped his close friend and "most important fundraiser"--Tony Rezko (now in prison for extortion, fraud, money laundering)--get $87,000,000 to renovate 1,000 low-income Chicago apartments. + Obama's Sub-Prime Conflict / CommonDreams: --Obama campaign chair = Penny Pritizker "... if you traced today's sub-prime crisis back to its origins, you would come upon the role of the Pritzkers and Superior Bank of Chicago." P.S.--I've been warning about spamming... |

Yes.
ETA: That was "yes" to MichaelLWagner rather than to "get orff my forum" Magnifico2.0. Obama is, indeed, unfortunately, a warmonger. |

One day, a troll sat under the bridge waiting for unsuspecting passers-by who were too stupid to know there might be a troll under the bridge.
Along came a few pedestrians, speed-walking and talking about various ways they like to make bread, and the best way to make a chicken-salad sandwich, when the bridge fell onto the troll and smashed it to bloody pulp. The people speed-walked right over the fallen bridge, stepped in the troll-guts, and laughed about the best way to make troll stew as they went on their merry way. |

I believe the point of the OP is that the honorable JREF member is trying to prove that he can spam if he wants to.

Earth calling Mr Wagner. The civilian contractors setting bombs in Iraq are corrupt Black Water dirt bags. (Is that a redundancy?)
Republican hellspawn, not of Obama's doing. Do try to learn the history of these things. |

What do you mean nuclear leaks? Do you mean a radioactive leak at some nuclear powerplants, or do you mean there's been some nuclear fuel missing?

Those Russian news agencies are at least as reliable as the Weekly World News.
Take this for example. |

Hint: try not to be a Perry Logan. Try to keep your posts/claims focused on the topic you choose, which in this case was Obama as warmonger. Thanks. |

It is certainly true that Obama has monged a bit of war during his brief administration. He's stepped up the pace of monging over in Afghanistan, though slowed it down in Iraq. True, he hasn't monged any wars from scratch, but he's new. Give him time. During almost every administration, there comes up the situation where it is arguably more wise to mong a war than to suffer the consequences of leaving the war unmonged.
If he turns out to be a competent warmonger, he will only mong wars that are essential to the well-being of his country. I suspect he will be at least as competent and some of the warmongers who have preceded him. But that doesn't mean I'm giving him a free pass. I'm still on the keeping an eye on the monging process. |

No. If any Americans are planting IEDs, it would nopt be the Army, and the State Department has no capability or motivation.
The mercs have a good reason to want the American public to think that we still need to have private secuirty forces leeching off our treasurey. Given that the head of Black Water is a religious whackadoodle who wants a holy war in the Middle East... |
