News about international political affairs probably invites more public discussions on this forum. . . it's my guess.

whoopstud: What is your problem?. "Support the troops" If there is a troop increase it won't happen until sometime probably after the first of the year, maybe even March. And that was McChrystal's plan and time line. So what is your @!$%# and wine about his decision? That just seems to be a big talking point for the rights. But means nothing. No one is getting killed due to his not giving his decision yet, even if you would like to think that.

    Thats a pathetic question and statement to say that none of our troops are getting killed or hurt because he hanst sent more help. Not only in troops requested, they wanted to cut off funding for our guys. Do you have anyone serving or know anyone. How would they feel to know that. Thats why I say PATHETIC. Dont tell our troops you will send help whenever "I" want to or put a price on our troops. SUPPORT MEANS SUPPORT last time I checked....not loligag.

    Yes Woopstud: I do have people serving, and yes no troops are being killed due to the decision making, because no troops were supposed to be sent until next year anyway. And when did they want to cut funding? You have been feed a line a mile long. I have people in Iraq and Afghanistan and have a son who is a Ranger, so yes I care, but you don't have the true facts.

      Verno.....your knowledge of the Dems trying to Cut Funding for our troops is embarrassing, and I feel like I am backtracking to be discussing it with you. Its like trying to teach "Cut Funding for Idiots 101." Shame, and you have people you know out there....tragic. Do you want funds cut off to your Ranger just for political reasons. Be a parent and Care.

      P.S. Tebow for Pres

      whoopstud: I guess it would depend on what you are talking about cutting funding. He has spent more on the troops than most, and if you mean cutting out the Missile shield, yes he did that but it is not needed, but he increased spending on the part of the military that was really needed. He has not cut anything that our men and women who are fighting need right now. He has given the troops a increase in pay, and also is doing more to help the Vets. So I don't know where you are getting off about him cutting funding for our troops. He has ordered better Hum Vees that don't get the bottoms blown out of them, like Bush sent to them. So maybe you had better backtrack a little bit and see what is really going on and not just the right wing spin that you want to puke out.

      And just for clarification, please list the things that you think he has cut. I would really like to know.

        Get this Verno, Obama has TRIPLED.....let me repeat....TRIPLED the deficit in 1 year. It took 233 years to build that deficit and he TRIPLED it in "1"....."1" year. Yes, the Dems were trying to cut spending for out troops, with Pelosi leading the way. He hasnt done a damn for our troops but procrastinate about everything. The trip to Asia, the Ball Room Dance, Stuffing his face with Turkey, and now a basketball game......come on. I know that Bush put all his leisure activities on the burner because he cared about the troops. You need to get over yourself thinking that Dems spend more on military or take care of them better......thats just lame. Truth is, our pres is a Hollywoood, Media loved, Follower.

        He needs to step up...especially to "YOUR" Ranger. You want stuff cut off to "Your" Ranger......if so, you are crazy. I'll send whatever to the people you know if the Armed Forces and your Ranger. God Bless those guys.

        So instead of telling me what was cut from the military, you go on a rant about Obama, and the Dems. Tell me about the education you were going to give me about the military cuts to our troops that I was so naive about. I am still waiting. It sounds like you are in a wind tunnel just spinning around and around. You don't have answers, just blame and hate. By the way I am Independent and not a Dem, but give credit where credit is due and quite using blanket statements.

          Hey, Mr. President ----- Has your illegally here, aunt been deported YET? I guess not. Apparently "hoops" takes precedence over justice and the rule of law. As a "community organizer" you are setting a great example, sir. Show the country you are President for all LEGAL citizens and just sign the deportation order

          He probably would sign it....if there was one. No one especially you know the status of what is or what isn't going on with her. But that sure gives you something to @!$%# about doesn't it. How about getting real for a change.

              Nice to have a President that is interested in doing things other than starting wars.

                  And if he wouldn't have, you would have called him a chicken sh*t. Admit it. You can't have it both way, even if you want to.
