You should really stick to gun threads. Ya there is some embarasment here, but it is not mine Obama was talking to Iraq about how many troops should stay Iraq wanted them to stay at some level and they were debating the US on the imunity issue Irag finally gave into that part and Obama moved the goal posts again Irag got so frustrated they finally told them to leave Even Romney talked about the 30k that should be left In any event There is enough blame to go around"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Funny how that works out when you hand everything over to them to "protect you"... the FEAR was running deep and some of us warned very loudly to not do the GOAT F#@$ STUPID Patriot Act because W and his boys as well as EVERY level of Law Enforcement immediately used it for all kinds of things that the people clamoring to be protected never thought of ( seems there are LOTS of things they never think of) That said..... I TOLD YA SO ( You can go back and look.. you will find the answer you need to see how I feel about being watched, or how I feel about other Americans being watched who also are just living their lives.. even when we are doing nothing wrong) But Wait.... theres more.

Coreece 190 #73 June 16, 2014 Amazon***I don't agree with every form of government surveillance, but using these informants doesn't seem that much different than any other "undercover" work... ...and don't start pointing fingers. Obama was the one that promised transparency in government and to encourage whistle blowers...pfffft, ya...how did that work out? Who was it that gave the executive branch all that power again??? Unintended consequences... but I am sure this president on advice from those who put the damn thing in place were beating him about the head and shoulders to keep it... or suffer the consequences the next time the evil-doers struck. That is how things are done there. Do you really think it would have been different with McCain.. or RMoney?? To think otherwise exhibits a complete misunderstanding of how power is wielded in Washington Obama had his chance to vote against the FISA bill amendments but opted not to in favor of "beefing up" his national security credentials for the election...Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

I really hope we are not going to be seeing shit like we saw in the evac of the US Embassy in the Nam... and the clusterf$%ks at the airfield as more evacuations occurred.
