Obama: troops just airrading and killing civilians

I think the strange thing is that in the end looking at what was really said, and as has been pointed out that it was appropriate, it ends up making the attackers looks stupid, and like they don't know what's really going on.

They end up looking clueless.

 

Problem is, the Republicans have found that they can flame someone with blatantly false crap (Swift Boat Veterans for Truth) and have the allegations stick anyway, even when proven false.

For some reason the Dems have not been able to do the same in reverse.

 

I find it refreshing to see a candidate that speaks his mind honestly and doesn't worry about how it's dissected and analyzed. but that's just me

[Edit] I find it also funny that people are feigning outrage over what Obama has been saying over the last few months. Obama's views are merely educated and more logical ideas about fighting the war on terror. Something we all want to do.

It's been interesting to watch.

 

I like how you have to try to tie "the mission" to "the troops" here.

Anyone with a brain can tell what Obama was saying, and anyone who's read about what's happening in Afghanistan knows that Obama is right.

My question is: why aren't the other candidates talking more about Afghanistan?

 

First thing that popped in my head.

 

why do you right wing lunatics shudder when intelligent people try to analyze situations in a slightly more complex and nuanced way than an george bush talk?

 

don't say nuance to basso, he sneers and then breaks out into hives. Liberal wishy washy focus on nuance is not the kind of attitude that has led to our continuing series of successes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

basso this story has no legs but your eminent efforts to bump it on a basketball message board will NOT go unnoticed, you will surely be rewarded when the Republicans regain control of the white house in 2016.

 

I can see how this makes him look blunt, and perhaps even brash.

I cannot, for the life of me, see how this makes him look like he "doesn't know what he's talking about."

What he said is the straight dope, according to the stats, sad to say.

I just became a tiny bit more likely to vote for him. My boy Dennis K is fading again anyway.
