I am willing to give Obama time to attempt to accomplish the plan he rolled out in March.

Yea sure, why not, what's the big hurry? After all, my husband or wife, my kids aren't laying their life on the line. It sounds like a good idea to be at war in an attempt to modify an eons old culture.
Bring back the draft and lets see how the war is tolerated then.

By RAHIM FAIEZ
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Six American service members and at least a dozen civilians died in attacks Saturday in Afghanistan's volatile east and south, adding to a summer of escalating violence as Taliban militants push back against stepped-up operations by international and Afghan forces.

That's the damned truth! Should have happened in 2002.

The neocons actually said that if the culture of a country we have to work with doesn't work for us we'll just change it.

Yeh, Obama said we live in the greatest country in the world and asked us if we would help him change it! Wasn't that what he said..I think so.

Kind of like going into marriage with the idea you can change your spouse...nuts. Especially nuts when dealing with a country representing differing beliefs/cultures within the Muslim faith.
I admit I have a problem accepting our 'support' of people who believe it is their duty to stone women & such, but I see no other choice at this point.

You are lying. He didn't say that. Why are you spreading a lie?

Why, are you serious? This guy gets his talking points from Glen Beck.
From the wisdom of Paulwa:
"Just my thinking but I believe he ("Obama") is out to bankrupt the USA and get us into the Global Community where he plans to run for a leader role."
Paulwa never has credible references to support his pearls of wisdom, but he is good for a laugh.

Paul's opinion is one thing, but his remark about what Obama said is not opinion. It's a blatant lie.

Your indignent attitude is admirable but I don't understand your surprise. Force yourself to watch Glen Beck and you will get it. Two Obama beleifs are conflated, one America's greatness and two Obama is all about change, combine them and spoon feed them to the likes of Paul and presto you have your credible statement.
The statement made by Paul is mild by extemist standards. Yesterday on Beck they had a link of Obama's health care reform to following Hitler's purifying of the race by controlling benefits to the disabled and infirm.
But keep up the good fight anyways.

I'm not indignant, or surprised. I'd say more disgusted than anything. I do not understand why Paul (who is not an ignorant man) is so willing to spread rumors & lies about the President of the United States.
In my opinion, it's one thing to speak with conviction about faith in God and such, because all opinions are as valid as the next in the unprovable realm. But, when you carelessly repeat rumors & lies (that can be proven) you are being willfully ignorant.
As I said, I don't believe Paul is an ignorant man, so I find the behavior disgusting. I don't need to watch Glen Beck to "get" anything.

Flicka I did to best of my recollection see and hear Obama say something like that and I think there is a video sound bite of him saying it. But anyway he is out to fundamentally transform our great nation from what it has always been how can you refute that?

More lies? It's easy to find out if it is true. You are being willfully ignorant if you don't verify it.
But anyway he is out to fundamentally transform our great nation from what it has always been how can you refute that?
I would be more than pleased if Obama could take the nation we had the day he took office, back to the great nation we had a decade, or so, ago.
