Yes we did what we wanted to do and got Bin Laden. The plan put into motion was from the Bush administration. Obama took the credit. I'm OK with that.

We are still in Afghanistan and have been since 2008 on Obamas watch. Even the withdrawal is based on a plan put into motion by the Bush administration. These guys that want to blame him alone for the entire Afghan war are delusional. Obama campaigned on the promise that he would end the wars. He has done nothing and taken none of the blame. How does that work?

You want to discuss Iraq, then we have a whole other discussion.

" The Great Liar Bush" wasn't he your president at the time
and wasn't Obama one of those who OKed his ( Bushs)
request. And now the GOP are being criticised by the left
for not doing what the Demo. did and fall for Obama's
lies. Watching the news last night, air ports( no long lines)
air flights( all on schedule unless due to weather) White
House tour cancelled( almost all if not all tour guides are
done by volunteers) and on the economy Obama still
insist " It's not my fault, it's the other guy's" yet in the
eyes of some He administration just keeps looking better.

Oh Larry, you are so right, but trying to get the libs to admit that part of the story just isn't going to happen. They forget that he had the backing by most democrats as well at that time!

They let the lazy people who refuse to work figure this one out. Tell them if they can get it home, they can melt it down and keep all the procedes. After all, we should recycle. Why the lazy, welfare people you ask? because it has always been said that if there is a fast easy way to do something (whether correctly or not) a lazy person will find that way. They've figured out how to soak the system, so they are not stupid....just lazy.

There were a lot of heavy weapons destroyed on land also instead of being moved out. It was nowhere near as bad as what is being proposed in Afghanistan but just another example of a war being run by politicians instead of the military.
Ted please try to be objective: following the Tet offensive in Nam the US was trying desperately to just get the troops out with their shorts still on. There was no conceivable way to "move out the hardware".
You are entitled to any political view you want to espouse but let's not try to rewrite history. In doing so you put yourself in the same class as the politicians you berate.

By your standards, the mental patient must be you. Saddam killed a few thousand people, partly to keep himself in power, but also to cooperate with American policy. Before the American blows against Iraq, under Saddam it was the most prosperous Arab nation, had the most advanced right for women, and the highest percentage of people with advanced degrees in the Arab world. After repeated pounding by all American presidents since Bush I, Iraq now has a collapsed economy, women are behind the veil, up to three million are dead, and millions more, especially nearly all the intelligencia emigrated to other countries. The US liberated no one from anything, but someone liberated you from the ability to think beyond prefabricated conclusions handed to you by corporate media lap dogs.

It is amazing how well you are able to present history in accordance with Bushistic dogma. Everyone did not want the Bush wars. As a matter of fact, they were protested more before their onset than any other previous wars.

Bush did not prove his case about who had committed the 9-11 attacks. A few facts you need to consider about them:

1. Structural steel, such as that used in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center melts at 2750 degrees F.

2. Hydrocarbon fires cannot create.heat greater than 1700 degrees F, some 1000 degrees cooler than what it would have taken to melt the steel frame in the towers.

3. The buildings fell as if they had been subjected to a planned implosion.

4. Nothing falls like a planned implosion, but a planned implosion.

5. Pyrite, unlike a burning hydrocarbon, is hot enough, and concussive enough to melt structural steel.

6. Anyone climbing into the frame of the building to set explosives would be suspected on site, unless it was the official security provider of the buildings.

7. Head of security for the 9-11 complex before the implosion was Marvin Bush, the presidents younger brother. He resigned with enough gap between 9-11 and his tenure to deflect most suspicion.

8. The South Tower imploded before the North Tower, even though the North Tower had been burning for about an hour longer, and most of the fuel in the plane that hit the South Tower burned outside the building in a huge fireball.

9. The major shareholders of the World Trade Center Complex met in Building #7 the day before the crime and sold 100% of their shares.

10. Building #7 tumbled down in an implosion 8 hours after the Twin Towers, even though it sported only a faint trail of smoke caused by debris that had fallen into it. Thus the evidence of the meeting before was destroyed.

11. Some five miles away from the scene of the crime there was a meeting of the criminal invest organization called the Carlisle Group. It included Bush's father, Caspar Weinberger, Bush I's Secretary of Defense, some Columbian drug lords, and 24 Bin Ladens.

12. On September 12, the Bin Ladens were rounded up on orders of George W. Bush and flown out of the country before the FBI and the CIA could ask them any questions.

13. In the history of steel-framed skyscrapers, not a single one ever imploded because of fire, even though several had hotter flames than the Twin Towers.

14. In 1977, when Bush was about to bankrupt Arbusto Energy, the first corporation he managed into failure, he was bailed out with a huge infusion of cash from Salem BinLaden, Osama's favorite uncle.

15. When Bush was informed of the 9-11 crimes he was in a Florida school house reading the most complex book he had ever undertaken MY PET GOAT. He did not look astonished. Nor did he decide to move out of the location. If no one knew who had committed the crimes, it would be reasonable to assume the nation was under attack, and that the major leaders were in danger. His location was known world wide. The Secret Service is trained to protect the president, even if the president does not agree with their tactics. For example, if shots are fired, they remove the president from danger, even if the president treats it casually, or resists being removed from the scene. The Secret Service did nothing, as Bush continued to read to elementary students for some 22 minutes after being informed of the problem.

"Stop disrespecting the memory of those 2,996 people." We may presume you mean the ones killed in the 9-11 attacks. This statement of yours is unadulterated propaganda. It attempts to shame people into conforming to your interpretation by invoking the sacrosanct memory of the dead. You expect all discussion to end, as did Bush, by claiming or implying that anyone who contested the official conspiracy theory was on the side of the terrorists.

Your version of respecting the 2,996 who died is to kill many more in revenge, without much concern that a vast majority of the victims of our "revenge" had nothing to do with 9-11. Perhaps you would consider maturing in your thinking. Instead of regurgitating the propaganda reasons for our wars, I suggest you google the words "pipeline" and "Afghanistan" together and use the results to educate yourself in realpolitik, 21st century style.

What do you expect from a gutless wonder that's supposed to be leader of the free world? This guy ran on a platform as being the first anti-capitalist president as a candidate that represents a capitalist society.

Dumb down the voting public through government programs from cradle to grave at tax payers expense, the NEA (so-called public education) and the mass media. You get what you deserve.
