Liar, Liar Pants On Fire-The “Anti-War”
Cred Of One Barack Obama
Frank Jackman comment:
Sure there are plenty of ironies of
history to go around but those of us who have been working the anti-war
peaceful world end of things have to stand around these days and think about
the bitter irony of the regime on one Barack Obama, President of the United
States and Nobel Peace Prize recipient. A prize that he won just as he was, as
an American president, once again, committed additional troops to Afghanistan
and worked on a long term commitment to keep troops in abyss Iraq. The further
irony is that when the deal goes down as he ends his presidency he will have
presided over the longest period of seemingly endless war in America’s history.
All the heart flutter back in early 2008 about his anti-Iraq stance war when he
was baiting Hillary Clinton about her vote for war in Iraq was some much confetti
since unlike Clinton he never had to take a voting stance on the issue since he
did not become a Senator until after the dust of those votes settled in 2005.
Here’s the real deal though what about all those Iraq War appropriations that
he did vote for as a Senator. No, not the big war budget the several hundred billion
dollar one, that fuels the general rush to war but the simple supplementary appropriations
one that guys like Congressman Jim McGovern had the simple dignity to vote “no,”
a big no on. And you wonder why some people want to call him Pinocchio Obama.
Enough said.
