Let me offer a less invasive alternative to the TSA body scanners and airport pat-downs

[mtnsnake]

1) Pull our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan
2) Stop occupying countries who don't want us to occupy them
3) Quit trying to shove our religious and political beliefs down other countries' throats
4) Spend more time on harnessing our own solar and wind power to lessen the devastating effect that our thirst for other people's oil is having on the world.

The less we continue making people in other countries hate us, the less we'll have terrorists springing up all over, and the less we'll have government's hands in our crotches for fear of getting attacked by people who hate our nation.

3. Fire and prosecute anyone in the CIA/NSA/black ops Fields who participated in overthrowing Dem

Democratically elected Governments EVER.

4. You also need to add cut Israel off, since that is probably the biggest motivation for them.

5. So is it your belief that President Obama is

doing none of these things?

He inherited two wars and has already withdrawn more than 90,000 troops from Iraq.

He announced a date to beginning withdrawing from Afghanistan, and more recently committed to an end date.

He ended Bush's faith-based initiative.

He made the largest investment in clean energy, including wind and solar.

6. Try reading the post again

and try replying to the subject at hand instead of spinning your own fantasies into it for sake of changing my message.

No where in my post did I diss President Obama for not doing enough. This is more about what's gone on for decades and decades, not about what's gone on since Obama took office. But you already knew that, didn't you.

13. "No where in my post did I diss President Obama for not doing enough. "

So what's your point?

7. LOL! at your feeble defense of the wars.

That is really hilarious. He has surged in Afghanistan, expanded and increased in Pakistan and Yemen.

We aren't out of Iraq, and has given a meaningless withdraw date from Afghanistan, 4 YEARS FROM NOW! It is absurd to suggest that is ending the wars.

8. " It is absurd to suggest that is ending the wars."

He's ending the wars he didn't start, like it or not.

[de novo]

9. LOL again.

Sure he is. Sure he is.

If you live in a world where surges, escalation and expansion mean ending. That is some incredible double-think.

11. Zzzwwwwwiiiinnnggggg!

Sound of the OP's points sailing over your head.

12. Really?

This is the first time anyone has ever posted about war, specifically Iraq and Afghanistan, and other issues and claimed historical context while Obama is in office.

I'm so clueless as to why.

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. Really, first time ever?

Root causes of terrorism. It's the elephant in the room no one seems to want to address. Ever.

[ProSense]

15. I guess I should have

included the sarcasm icon.

[Slit Skirt]

10. yes and then let's do away with fear mongering depts and policies

patriot act
TSA
homeland security

and end the damn wars...now!

[truth2power]

16. Basically what I've said in several posts. Stop killing their

children, wives, wedding parties etc. Stop stealing their resources.

Or are Americans entitled to take anything that anyone owns anywhere in the world.

American Exceptionalism! Bah!!!
