truth on hold Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 It has nothing to do with the thread other than an obvious attempt to distract from the Obama administrations poor judgement "But Bush"...........2nd grade level silliness from Joe the revisionist . Exposed the phony "what about the dead soldiers" partisan hypocrisy of posters like you and others. Its a huge deal when Obama does an exchange to free an american soldier (and if he ends up facing court martial so be it, Obamas not blocking that), but 1,000's killed by bush's (lies, gross incompetence, negligence...pick your poison), and not a peep for over a decade.

Bush isn't in power right now. Obama is. This is a joke right? I'm new to PPP, but do some of you really argue like this? It's kinda sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of President Bush, and that's well documented here, but there have been two selperate presidential elections since he was in office. We don't live in the comparative. Whatever Bush's transgressions, they don't excuse this President's lawlessness or incompetence. Grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Obama: "When the President does it, that means it is not illegal." I mean... Nixon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejvyDn1TPr8 But Obama could say it — right? — about this: The Obama administration’s failure to notify Congress of the release of five Guantanamo Bay detainees ahead of his exchanging them for American soldier Bowe Bergdahl is a direct violation of the law, according to CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. “I think he clearly broke the law,” Toobin said on Monday, adding that the president’s signing statement in which he called the law unconstitutional does not automatically make it so. “Certainly this is an example of a signing statement where the president is taking power for himself that the law didn’t give him — he’s explicitly contradicting it.” .

Stick around, and you'll get a bird's eye view into the mind of several segments of our population. It's interesting when it's not maddening, hysterical, or depressing. Which, of course, is to say that it's never interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a few regulars that are like this but JTSP is not a regular, he is an attention whore, who likes to make outlandish statements. Just look at his avatar. He comes down here, shoots his mouth off, gets his ass kicked and then runs away. Eventually, because he forgets that this is a place he should stay away from he returns to again practice his assmudgeonry and gets his ass kicked and runs away. He then again forgets and........................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Doesn't particularly matter to me either way. This guy could be the love child of Sgt. York and Audie Murhpy, with John Basilone as his godfather, and it wouldn't change my position one bit: telling the Taliban that we'll trade Gitmo detainees, five for one, for American POWs is a ridiculously short-sighted policy on multiple different levels. It's going to start to matter to the administration, though, if it turns out that this guy really was a deserter. They can't stand to lose face. As I said before in this thread---this has the potential to be a major scandal, and now, with most of the media reporting on it the schit hitting the fan is a distinct possibility. If, and it certainly looks like it, Bergdahl was a deserter why would they risk all the upcoming backlash by doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seriously think Obama is going to order a court martial against the guy he just gave up 5 of the worst most hardcore Taliban for? Seriously? This is nothing more than Obama administration being ever increasingly incompetent. This stinks to high hell of nothing more than a terribly planned poorly thought out diversion away from the VA, IRS and benghazi. But opps...he made an even bigger mess. I guess this is what we get for electing a feel good story who was capable enough to vote "present" to the office of president of the United States of America.

In 2008 I wouldn't have had a problem with him being Muslim (other than he spent the prior 20 years going to a black christian church). Today, I do have a problem. Please post your links.

Azalin Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Bush isn't in power right now. Obama is. This is a joke right? I'm new to PPP, but do some of you really argue like this? It's kinda sad. you learn to ignore some of the more ridiculous posts, but yes, some posters here do indeed argue like this on a regular basis. on the other hand, there are a few people (some with obvious leanings to the left, the right, and some obviously non-partisan) who are pretty knowledgeable in relevant subjects like history, science, medicine, economics, political science, etc (I'm not going to name any names in order to avoid inflating egos further any than they already are) that you can learn a lot from....or at least learn enough to reconsider certain points of view you may have. a good rule of thumb is to be prepared to back up any statements you make, provide links when you're able, and avoid parroting party line talking points. if you can ignore the idiocy, there's some pretty interesting conversation going on. then again if someone's being a complete tool, feel free to unload on them.
