The march to war with Iran is not a Democrat, or Republican issue, and has a lot to do with what is going on in the middle east. Syria is a proxy war with Iran, (and possibly China and Russia). It is an astoundingly bad idea, and will lead to more war and killing not less.
There are proponents of military action on both sides, but guys like McCain are still going to be the top proponents, and yes, I agree the neocons are leading the charge. But to pretend that it is for religion leads into some religious conspiracy that is fit for a Dan Brown novel. It is simply not very evident. Guys like McCain and the neocons pounding the war drum are in it because they represent millions of dollars in Donations, kickbacks, sweetheart deals, and retirement packages. It is about money, not God. Greed not Dogma.
Obama is not a centrist, he is not a good leader, he is not a man of honor or courage. He is just another sellout politician, nothing more nothing less. He is not above pandering and outright fraud. Stop pretending that he is.
He makes decisions based on the money and supporters he has to please, and the demographics he has to stroke to get votes, and more money.
Also, it is such a fucking cop out to blame republicans for everything that Obama is doing, or is forced to do because of their actions.
I believe Obama believes in the war on terrorism. Obama’s listening to republican military commanders, and tries to show that he cares about fighting the good fight. For some strange reason, Obama wants to show he is strong on foreign policy? If Obama pulls out of all wars, he will be labeled Muslim, Anti-American, UN-American, and UN-patriotic, that hates his country. I guess he believes in playing the game of politics to get conservative D and R votes. Of course, Obama is playing the game of politics.
Obama was gullible to think he could change Washington. Obama actually thought he could get republicans to listen and teach them to be normal. Then the republican bananas, watermelons, african signs, and birth certificates hit him in the face.

Highlight and quote that 14daroad, esplanade, and bowslit...
I have never seen a democrat president bow down to republicans more than Obama. Obama finally grew a pair and started pushing his liberal agenda. You’re gullible as hell if you think the war with Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, isn’t a republican war. Wow you have to be uninformed if you don’t know that. It’s a known fact, republicans vote god and money.
"God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq... And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I'm gonna do it." ~ George W Bush
Republicans created this mess and independents and democrats have to die along side them. Muslim terrorists are in a fight against Republicans and peaceful Muslims are thrown in the fight. There are two enemies of the world, Republican terrorists, and Muslim terrorists. Republicans are responsible for race wars, the war on drugs, making america hillbilly stupid, religious wars, gay bigotry, and destroying the economy. Democrats are to blame for letting it happen.
Nixon, Reagan, and Bush 1 and 2 are responsible for destroying the United States. If those four republican ayatollah terrorist dictators would have never been elected, who knows how beautiful the country would be.
