who was joking?
everytime government takes away peoples guns. the goverment ends up shooting people in the streets. look at any war we have ever entered in too.  the goverment tells the people its safer for them to disarm. be it nukes, tanks, or guns. then they invade and gun them down in the streets.
what makes you think it will be different here?  and dont tell me this doesnt happen. i spent 15 months in afghanistan pulling the trigger with the 82nd airborne division.

not that those dirty bastards didnt deserve it.

What ... you're blaming Obama for the war in Iraq now ?

Or the fact that he's put drones in the air instead of soldiers on the ground ? Soldiers were getting killed, maimed and ambushed. If those fools wanted to not have drones over their head, they should have thought of that before they blew us up.

I cant believe you're equating collateral damage for our soldiers safety for 1 crackhead's first person shooter game that spilled over into real life cos he was on big pharma juice ...
I'd say drone the fools ... if the women and children dont get out of the way ... they are sheilding them. BTW taliban is now in pakisthan, they have taken over the whole of karachi. Arm the Indian army, and give them air cover and let em follow the taliban in pakisthan and they will deliver their heads in duffel bags. We know them by name/face etc etc. Not getting with/behind India was a huge mistake, Bush's mistake that Obama has not corrected. Pakisthan is with the enemy. Well we can drone them ... but there will be collateral damage.

Cool.

Calm down Sri, I'm blaming Obama for taking out children with the drones he killed Kadafi and that American traitor with. I heard around 30 children got killed, whether its the truth or not I don't know, might be propaganda. Obama could have ended the war the day he took office and the results would have been the same, he has innocent blood on his hands too.

He cant have ended the war on day 1, it would have been back to square 1 by now. We'd have lost the previous 8 years ... He may not have done the best ... but he has done well enough. I'd have liked to see India on our side atleast 2009 and later.

So will afghanisthan and pakisthan ... we should have gone to Libya, it was a war we could have won and influenced the future. Sadly we were too stretched in these 2 useless countries and missed the war we could have won for posterity.

I have a crazy off the wall Idea ... america should start playing cricket.
India and pak never had normalised relations until we started playing cricket. Over 5 days in the field they eventually learned to respect each other. Sadly every few years pakisthan will become something else, and they would stop cricket ... promptly it will deteriorate ... Now we have several tournaments where the teams are not by country, but a mix and match ... contracted from any country - you find indians, australians, pakisthanis, sri lankans english etc etc in 1 team. We need to get in that mix. We could slowly get those countries to respect each other. They wont take up football - they wont even take up soccer, in fact India and pakisthan played field hockey and it didn't do nothing. Cricket will get them. Far cheaper than war if you ask me.

Cool.

It would be his as soon as he lies to us and wages a war against say morocco or how about nigeria. Iraq would be listed to Bush - OK if there were errors, like the drones killing the wrong people - not targeting a militant and collateral ... if instead of shooting @ the militant he aimed and shot @ a hospital - intentional by Obama - that will be put into his column as a screw up.

It is a war we were lied to and he has had to manage. He has a withdrawl schedule. Essentially it will be a war he schedules us out of.

Not one he scheduled us into ... duh ...

You blow up your bike not filling oil in it ...
You take it to a mechanic to work on it.
You turn around and blame the mechanic for blowing it up ?
OK you get it back with a dent in the tank yea you blame him.

Cool.
