    Another good foreign policy move on Obama's part. Maybe Romney should put Obama on as the VP on his ticket.
     
  3. He announced he was closing Gitmo 3 years ago too.

    Oh he'll take credit for it anyway thank you very much.
     
  8. Yes, and the misfits protesting in Zuccotti park will celebrate by not taking a shower for another week.
     
  9. Do people still actually believe politicians? This what going to be a short conflict back in 2003. Here we are 8+ years later, same old spin going into each re-election campaign.

    Obama is campaigning. Plain and simple.
     
  10. How many taxpayer funded contractors will remain?
