Hypocrite? How exactly is he a hypocrite? I'm talking about Obama, not the delusional people that put bumper stickers with big peace signs or any other crap on their cars?

He campaigned that he was going to get the troops out of Iraq and "refocus our attention on the the true War on Terror." Well, the Iraqis forced Bush's hand by stating the want US out of their by 2010 right before the actual election. Obama can't do anything about that.

He didn't campaign as a peace-loving hippie. He's always stated that Afghanistan is where the focus should be and Bush's decisions created a terrible over-extension of the military.

It would be quite ignorant to assume that Obama or his campaign were the ones who created those Obama peace sign stickers. And I think the people that put them on their cars are just as ignorant.

Again I ask, how is Obama a hypocrite with regards to the Middle East?

oh yeah, you're not trying to start something at all

I gotta admit, I respect your persistance on this one

Spence hit right on the head, he was elected on the basis of shifting the war to afganistan to go get Bin Laden. Show us some proof that al queda and bin laden have not and are not hiding out in afganistan and you may have a point. It's already been proven that Iraq did not have WMD's so those "hippocrates" have a pretty good leg to stand on, wouldn't you say?

Although I gotta admit that's a good one about the peace sign with the O, old O's no pacifist on afganistan

I wasnt initially but my motives evolved. It shocks me how we have different measures for Bush vs. Obama.
A large contingency that backed Obama are anti war, period. hence the peace sign bumper stickers. I want to see if they turn against him as he escalates this war. Remember the RNC convention? They were mauling people! Do you think that will repeat itself? I look at this stuff as a scientist. You see a situation and determine the response. My initial thought? Most of these protestors dont have a clue about Afhan vs Iraq and we all about repubs and Bush suck. And now that Os in office, they wont even care, since there guy is in. Hence - hippoctates.

Secondly, without a plan and clear objectives, I feel like we are repeating Iraq. Something you Obama supporters should be questioning. The summary of the responses above are " he said he would, so he did". That doenst cut it, at least not for me.

Good lord you're loosing it...

The Pentagon has asked for more troops to help keep violence down during the upcoming elections. Obama pledged to focus on Afghanistan so he's approved the request.

You make it sound like he's off warmongering or something. Obama isn't a pacifist either by the way.
