1. Did you hear that

al-Qaeda?


"Al Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK."

- President Barack Obama, vigilante against those that want to harm our country.

2. Mission Accomplished?

Season's greetings to all of our soldiers fighting for our national security.

3. National security does not include unprovoked overseas wars.

[FarLeftFist]

6. Since when?

[arcadian]

10. Can't believe people on DU defending the Bush doctrine.

What has happened to this place?

[arcadian]

9. .

[FarLeftFist]

11. The Bush doctrine? We've been fighting unprovoked wars overseas for almost a century

Before that we were fighting unprovoked wars on our own land (i.e. Native American genocide). War has always been and always will be, from the beginning of time until the end of time. That's the sad truth.

12. I'm confused, I thought they were fighting for my freedom ?

4. Almost right. War is over ... and over ... and over ... and over.

8. On the other hand...

If war isn't over, it's because you just didn't want it hard enough.

Wish harder, people. WISH!

(I'm really sorry, I just think "War is over if you want it" is fucking obnoxious. If you're not John Lennon, don't take it personal)
