16. Yes I do actually
Im just pointing it out. No one said Obama is Hitler, except you. Thats the definition of projection. Accuse others of exactly what you do, and Ive read other comments here tonight exactly like yours that could have been lifted from a right wing site.

27. Truth is fine, but you still don't understand what projection means.
Two things need to happen for me to be projecting.

1. I need to actually be serious, as opposed to being sarcastic. (We may have to come up with what the word "sarcasm" means later, it appears you don't get that either.)

2. I would, personally, have to actually be worse than Hitler myself.

10. Hey Observer we had a few disagreements before
But seriously, How in the current situation could Obama had given a better more informed succinct run down of what we will do? Do you give any credence whatsoever to the fact that we are apprehending terrorists in conus from the failed states of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and to the fact that unsecured Pakistani nukes pose a security threat to us and others? Really, what is your axe to grind?

6. Guess you are forgetting that we dont have conscripts
and that we are an all volunteer force. Even after he stated definitively the redeployment plan you insinute something like this? How about some reality?

11. 10 more years of war is the reality.
Insinuation is entirely unnecessary.

14. No, that's your imagination.

Cheesy exploitative photos of cute children is entirely unnecessary.

15. Then I'll spare you the cheesy photos of the dead children resulting from this decision.
You can see them next October 7 if you wish.

23. No, my point is that we will be fighting for another decade because of what he did.
What he said is irrelevant.
