Liar, Liar Pants On Fire-The “Anti-War” Cred Of One Barack Obama










Liar, Liar Pants On Fire-The “Anti-War” Cred Of One Barack Obama

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 vote 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.
