'President Obama's Heroes: A Bunch of People Who Would Not Approve of War in Afghanistan'
Alternet, Posted by ZP Heller on October 23, 2009 -- On September 8, 2009, a school girl named Lilly asked President Obama who he'd have lunch with if he could pick anyone alive or dead. The president chose Gandhi, explaining that Gandhi's nonviolence inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez in the United States.
All three of these men--Gandhi, MLK and Chavez--were committed to nonv
More..iolence and opposed war as a foreign policy tool. Similar to his invocations of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount during the campaign, the president continues to cite "inspiration" from luminaries of nonviolence, only to reject their philosophies when it comes time to govern. Less..

Jihadis understand only one language and that is of falling bombs. I am sure if Gandhi was alive he would have realized what shit Islam is.

I voted for Obama and a Obama supporter.
I am frusterated by the wars overseas and have lost a good friend in Afghanistan whom I served with.
I do not support the war anymore and I am saddened to see Obama being deceived and manipulated by our military leaders.
I understand the pressure he is under but do not agree with his prolonging this war.
Like Vietnam our corrupt, incompetent Afghanistan is robbing our young of it's future.
We will learn the hard way again.

Obama was a trojan horse, unfortunately
he's giving the same neocon "fight them there so they don't fight us here" speeches they did. now him and Hillary are pushing on about "WMDs in Iran" but not giving us any evidence as to whether they actually have any (sound familiar?)
he is criminally responsible for continuing to promote the same lies and the same ideology. the two parties are now almost exactly the same in regards to the way they conduct themselves -- they speak differently but do the same thing, anyway

the title is accurate given the ideologies of the 3 figures Barack Obama claimed he looked up to
the people he really looks up to are in AIPAC and his ideology is PNAC

too many Americans on this site still support wars based on neoconservative ideology, intelligence lies, and Israeli/Saudi influence
"we gotta fight them there so they don't fight us here"
what BULLSHIT logic you people still have. they're a GLOBAL terrorist organization -- they don't give a **** how many countries america invades (in fact it serves their purpose -- the more countries america invades the more recruits they get among airstrike and torture victims)
VICIOUS CYCLE and America is reaping what it has been sowing by waging all those unnecessary, imperialist wars since the end of World War 2

like many americans on this site he was a moral hypocrite of the worst order -- claiming to follow jesus while ordering the arbitrary detaining and torturing of prisoners

Obama "Talks" of sending troops and we all know
"talk is cheap".
He is using the "wait and see" tactic in the hoppes of another "Fall of Saigon" moment in Kabul to pull troops out ?
lets wait and see what he says about putting those troop increases in after the next afghan election has past.
