Obama is no soldier, he’s of the Loony left, a Useful Idiot! How he came to power or why is a closely guarded secret. Even his birth certificate is guarded by over a million dollars worth of lawyers.

But the clash of civilisations (7th century Islam and 21st century Western) is very real and very dangerous.

It did not start with 9/11, it started 1300 years ago in Arabia.

The size of the enemy is huge, one quarter of the worlds population.

It won’t be won in Iraq or Afghanistan or even Iran and Syria, but it will be won by supporting Israel in the re-constitution of its homeland.

What??? you say!

Yes, International Law must be enforced even if it means ‘upsetting’ the Arabs. King Feisal agreed to the re-constitution of the Jewish State in 1919 and it became irrevocable international law at the San Remo conference in 1922. If the Arabs can finally accept the reality of the state of Israel then anything is possible - even world peace.

Except Nikki we are causing more deaths to occur. We should not be there in the first place and to say we can’t leave because we are there doesn’t wash. How can they have a chance to recover from so many armed illegal immigrants from violating their boarders? How would you feel in that same situation?

How many bases and how many millions to die in order to “pacify” Afghanistan to make it like the utopia that is Iraq now? When will your lust for control of others be satisfied?

Unfortunately, Night-gaunt, it’s completely obvious that we need to continue the war in Afghanistan. But fortunately we have a president that understands that. We can’t just pull out and expect less death and chaos to occur.  Peace is about the least morbid way of leading a nation. And I beleive we have a pretty good chance of achieving more peace with our current leader than we have previously seen.

There is a gun slung on his back; see it with the two flowers in the barrel.

Having the gun in the pic, after all; was the whole point of this cartoon.

They forgot to add some depleted uranium, phosphorus, and a few million land
mines. That would be a better pic.

I think that what they are saying is that he has a gun, with a flower in it. Duality of man kind of stuff. He’s for peacewar.

He’s also not nearly that dark skinned..lol

Where are the guns? Obama is sending in people with guns and other paraphernalia of war to kill, kill, kill! He just doesn’t act like a cowboy but he kills like one. False hope is a cruel joke done by those who are remorseless at whom they manipulate.
