If the American people couldn't stomach the 2 wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) during Bush's term, I can expect everybody having a severe ulcer knowing Obama has taken us into 3 war at the same time. Not only the presidents rhetoric made no sense, Obama's promises during the campaign trail was a bunch of lies. Obama promised to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, close down Club Gitmo, and re-establish America's moral authority in the world. Instead, we still have troop in Iraq, the good war in Afghanistan in chaos, Obama going on an apology tour, and Obama decided to spill precious blood and treasure in Libya. If you are scared now, just wait when Obama gets another term in office.
(Yahoo) On Monday, President Barack Obama addressed Americans in an effort to clarify ongoing mission in Libya. He stressed that America and its allies intervened aerially to prevent slaughter of innocent civilians.
Quite a turn around for a president who is a Nobel Peace Prize winner and whose campaign's theme was opposition to America's two wars-in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
It is now 2011 and the president has not delivered. U.S. involvement in Iraq has been reduced but there are still 50,000 troops stationed in the country and the level of violence is still high. Iraqi civilians are being targeted every day and the government is not in complete control.
In Afghanistan, the situation is actually getting worse. Recent revelations about a U.S. army "kill team" which carried out inhumane attacks against civilians for "sport" has hurt the operation greatly and added to anti-American sentiments not only in Afghanistan but also in neighboring Pakistan.
Instead of focusing on ending these two conflicts and pooling resources to rebuild America's standing in the international community, President Obama has now given the country another war to bear.
