How is that Terrorism has grown under BO peep by 58%......attacks up from 390 something to over a 1000? All from 2010 til now? How did Bush cause all that to take place?
Nooooooooooo, that will be denied here.
You'd be fooling yourself if you think it started under Obama. :doh

This is a simplistic view of all the problems that we face today. And partisan. The problems that we are facing today is the result of several POTUS's, not just one.
1: That isn't why we invaded Iraq.
2: You tried to blame the fact that there were terrorists that were basically fighting the US due to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. If that were true then we wouldn't have had 9/11 happen until after those wars started.
Im pretty sure he said grown, not started. Do you understand the difference?
I never said it started under Bo peep.....I said it had grown 58% more than what it was with him.
Hate need a bit of time to fester.
Ok, you have that same response every time, and then I come back with the clarification that I know that the bickering in the ME predates US existence. But that being the powerful country that America is, we who alone have such capabilities, have gone into this region that ****ing needs hard asses like Hussein, Mubarak, Gaddafi and Assad in the positions they are/were in to keep the fringe psychopaths at bay. And have removed them!!! Which is directly responsible for the elbow room, the room for these freaks to blossom. It's absolute insanity. Dude, you don't support Obama's policies, your halfway there. THE US CANNOT, IS IMPOTENT TO, BRING DEMOCRACY TO THE ME. So you needn't tell me anymore that the Middle East was fighting before we came along, I know that, OBL knew that, that dude that threw his shoes at Bush, knew that, Ron Paul knows that, Noam Chomsky knows that. We all also know that US policy has fanned the flames, thrown fuel to the fire.
Let's take it a step further, shall we? How about, "This is why it's absolutely ****ing retarded to invade a country on fabricated reasons,"? Yeah, much better. The Bush Administration were warned that their actions would cause more hate in the Middle East. And this is ever before it came out that Americans were torturing people. What a big cesspool of mess.
Hate :roll: .....is that the best deflection you can come up with.....when trying to spin things Juniors way? Did you want to shuffle the tarot cards again? :lol:

They've gotten so used to saying everything is Bush's fault, even after years of Obama, that they just can't help themselves? What I do remember is Obama arguing with the G8 in 2009/2010 that they should be spending more money - not less. I remember the other countries politely disagreeing but saying they would do as they saw fit, and he should do the same. So trillions have now been added to our debt, bringing it to over $17 trillion. What did all that spending gain us - there are now nearly 48 million people on food stamps, and heaven knows how many on other government assistance programs; a lack of well-paying jobs; an unemployment number that is still higher than any Bush ever had; crumbling infrastructure; and a public that is angry. No other country in history has owed so much money to so many people as we currently do. So who was correct - Obama or the other G8 countries that decided that a little cutting back on spending was necessary, and followed through?
Well yes you can make that argument. But it's not as though she picked a country in the midst of a civil war (well actually president Assad is fighting a US backed war on terror) to holiday in. But point taken.
I'm sorry that you can't see it.
Well with what you are talking about......there is nothing to see.....trying to blame Bush for things he had nothing to do with. Just doesn't cut it as an excuse.
How much do you think was spent on Iraq?
I'm sorry you don't see it. I tried my best.
FINALLY someone here gets it!
the installment of the Muslim Brotherhood into power was a conscious and deliberate strategy of the Obama Administration developed before the "Arab Spring" began.
So the Obama Administration did not stand beside friendly regimes or help to manage a limited transition with more democracy and reforms. No, it actively pushed to bring down at least four governments—Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen.
It did not push for the overthrow of two anti-American regimes—Iran and Syria—but on the contrary was still striving for good relations with those two dictatorships. Equally, it did not push for the fall of radical anti-American governments in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. No, it only pushed for the fall of “valuable allies.”
"The administration is already taking steps to distinguish between various movements in the region that promote Islamic law in government. An internal assessment, ordered by the White House last month, identified large ideological differences between such movements as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and al-Qaeda that will guide the U.S. approach to the region."
That says it all, doesn't it? The implication is that the U.S. government knew that the Brotherhood would take power and thought this was a good thing.
Now ISIS will play on BO's emotions and test that Negotiation Process we have. This time with a woman. What do you think the outrage will be if they Cut a US Woman's Head off?
A third American hostage held by ISIS has been identified as a 26-year-old American woman who was kidnapped a year ago while doing humanitarian relief work in Syria. The terror group is demanding $6.6 million and the release of U.S. prisoners for the life of the young woman, who the family requested not be identified.
In addition to the multi-million dollar ransom, the terror group has also demanded that the U.S. release Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT-trained neuroscientist who was convicted by the U.S. in 2010 of trying to kill U.S. officials two years before, according to a supporter of Siddiqui who has been in contact with the hostage’s family.....snip~

Obama's weakness is so glaring that the ME is run amuck with terrorists. How did the Arab Spring work out? All Obama did was help replace secular heads of governments with nothing except a void awaiting Islamist terrorists to join the fight. Then what? The fighting is still going on. But go ahead and prattle on about Bush.
Your self-imposed ignorance is as glaring as it is humorous. Or maybe it is just ignorance.
