In 1986 a discothèque in Berlin was bombed, 2 American service men were killed and 79 were injured. In 1988 the Pan Am flight 103 was brought down by an explosion over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people- including 189 Americans.Because of President Obama’s policies, the man responsible for these attacks against American citizens and interests- Mummar Qaddafi- is now dead.Do the conservatives remember who was president when these attacks took place, or when TWA Flight 847 was hijacked by Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad in 1985 and an American sailor was beaten to death?A US President, no matter who he is or what party he belongs to, has very little control over what happens on foreign soil. Only blind political opportunists would blame the President under these circumstances.
@ ScottPMReagan bombed Libya in April 1986, after the Berlin bombing. After Libya was bombed, several hostages were killed by Qaddafi supported terrorists groups in places like Lebanon and East Jerusalem. Qaddafi got his ultimate revenge by blowing up Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988.The War Powers Act was passed in 1973 and therefore did not apply to Truman or Kennedy.Get your facts straight if you want to go head to head with me. The Romney chronology of events won’t work with me.
You mean the way no one in the US ever sees the radical in Christianity, even when it gets slapped across all of our faces over and over?It’s all the same, no matter where it comes from. Abrahamists simply cannot be trusted.
Then every president is responsible for every terrorist attack against American interests or citizens. Your argument is fallacious and bias. More terrorists have been targeted and killed in the 3+ years that Obama has been president than when Bush was president. Obama has not been afraid to take the fight to where ever the terrorists maybe, Pakistan, Somalia, or Yemen.
“They sense weakness in the US government.”I’m sure they do. There is video posted for all the world to see of a US congressman publicly stating the Republicans’ #1 goal above all else is to make sure the leader of their own country fails.
The reason I made mentioned the Berlin bombing Pan Am Flight 103 is because Qaddafi was responsible for them. Qaddafi is now dead because of Obama. TWA Flight 847 ordeal lasted 3 days. US sailor Robert Stethem was tortured and killed. Only one perpetrator was arrested, by German authorities. The barracks attack was a strait forward suicide bombing. None of these acts were Reagan’s fault but it showed how limited a President’s power is when things happen overseas. Our enemies don’t care whether our President is a Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal. The fact that Republicans and conservatives turn on the President, when we should present a united front, speaks volumes about their priorities. Party and ideology first, country somewhere behind that.
The foot he’s gripping is “OBL”, Osama bin Laden, as in we finally nailed him when Obama allowed the military to do their JOB, finally… The implication leading morons to think Obama is Muslim, or sympathizes with “terrorists”, is pretty disgusting, considering the facts at hand, or foot.
“I don’t remember any Christian suicide bombers.”I’ll give your kind this, the timmothy mcveighs and eric rudolphs of the world didn’t take the easy way out, they just bombed and ran.“I don’t remember christians burning dems,or gays,or Bill Mahar in effigy,or killing some of them every time they insult their religion.”Really? Did you smoke alot of pot in school? Because that would explain such short term memory losshttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/08/obama-effigy-hanged-outside-church_n_1581272.htmlCome on buddy.
The latest ABC/Washington Post poll, taken from Sept. 7-9, shows Obama leading Romney 50% to 44% among registered voters, although that advantage shrinks to just 1 point among likely voters.
But the more interesting numbers can be found deeper in the poll, on the question of which candidate would better handle the economy. For the first time this year, the poll shows voters trust Obama more to handle the economy, wiping out Romney’s advantage on the key issue of the 2012 election.
To be sure, Obama’s lead on the issue is slim — 47% to 45% — but that is still up significantly from the ABC/WaPo poll taken immediately before the convention, which had Romney beating Obama 50% to 43%.
A complicated issue, but an inevitability when you have a population too high for the country’s resources and millions of unemployed young men with no foreseeable hope and future. Exacerbated by the overthrow of a tyrannical regime and replaced by the hope of “democracy”, but the inevitable realization that things really haven’t changed. So what do you do? Blame western countries who have what you want and surely must be the reason you don’t. And what do their leaders do – look the other way so as to deflect attention from themselves. Prime conditions for Al Qaeda recruitment and the U.S. a prime target by being there, with a history of war against Muslims.
