" Facto and Russ increase the numbers, why not both of you sign-up for a tour of duty. "




Facto wrote on Nov 6, 2009 8:14 AM:

" Roll da bones: You are right. Anyone can look up the numbers. So why didn't you do that before you stated;"Oh ya, he has increased troops in Iraq". And "Where is the withdraw?". And Obama has stated that the level will be 50,000 until the end of 2011, not 100,000. The 18 month timetable for withdrawal is only 2 months longer than he promised during campaign. I would like to see a faster withdrawal with no soldiers left. But get your facts correct before you accuse anyone of drinking Cool-Aid. "

" To Facto Don't start quoting numbers and think you are smart. Anyone can look up the numbers. Obama did say he would withdraw and you know it. There were 170K troops in Iraq when he came into office and now he is saying he will SLOWLY withdraw troops until the number is 100K. He said there would be 100K troops there for an undetermined amount of time. Thats not even half! This doesn't sound like the person before he became president. Does it to you? If so you are just a typical spoon fed Democrat....... "

" WOW!! skeptic you rock! taking on all those other peoples posts with good information. to well... thats just dumb. ex pres bush jr. is going to be very hard to beat at "worst president ever" just read the t-shirts. and to in the news OBama is taking all this flak from you because he IS making changes. we had a republican president for long enough. time to switch it up! but dont worry. only republicans can come up with such a bad pres like bush jr. you had your chance, suck it up. "




Facto wrote on Oct 29, 2009 8:24 AM:

" I stand by my figures which was in reply to the statement that Obama has increased the troop levels in Iraq. The US is speeding up its withdrawal from Iraq, bringing an extra 4,000 troops home before the end of October. General Raymond Odierno said troop levels are on pace to fall to 115,000 by the end of the year, and roughly 50,000 by mid-2010. I mentioned Obama doubling the troop level in Afghanistan at beginning of the year. So these soldiers do get to come home, barring any new increase in Afghanistan troop levels. "




Russ wrote on Oct 28, 2009 5:33 PM:

" Actually Facto you are almost correct on your numbers. While there has been a draw down in Iraq it has been offset almost evenly with an increase in troops in Afghanistan. The administration is just rotating troops from one front to another. "




Facto wrote on Oct 28, 2009 8:29 AM:

" Roll da bones: Troop levels are now down in Iraq to about 120,000 from 142,000 early this year. And spending on the war in Iraq has fallen from $180 billion in 2008 to $150 billion this year. So Obama has brought home 22,000 troops so far. It is very important to be informed before you make decisions. "




Facto wrote on Oct 28, 2009 6:50 AM:

" Roll da bones: First, you are completely wrong in saying Obama said he would withdraw from both wars. He was against the war in Iraq and has always felt like Bush took his eyes off of Afghanistan. Troops are withdrawing down slowly in Iraq. Not increasing. It was part of the agreement with the Iraq government. Now Obama did double up on the Afghanistan troop level. But you are wrong on the Iraq count. As for the Olympics. They chose a country that has never hosted the Olympics before. Don't begrudge a President for trying to bring jobs to America. "

" NAFTA- The main reason this country is in a mess economically started 10 years ago under the Clinton administration. And only now is Congress looking at undoing what it did many years ago and perhaps righting those wrongs. Certainly "Cowboy Diplomacy" was an abysmal failure and whatever goodwill we had after 9/11 was squandered as a result. However, the democratically led congress had numerous opportunities to reign in Bush and did not. Bush may have been the worst but those democrats in power then are still there now and share all the blame too, for doing nothing about it. "

Then to make it interesting, no COLA's for the Rasco's. SS will start to be in the red about 2018. The national debt will turn us into a 3rd world banana republic economy. Are you ready Rasco?

" Facto- He also lost the bid for the olympics......what a looser. He was so full of himself going over there thinking that just by showing up he would charm the olympic committee like he charmed the American people. Well they were not impressed and are obviously smarter than we were. He should have stayed at the white house and played basketball. On that note, for a brother he cant even shoot a basketball very well. My sister could take him one on one. "




Roll da bones wrote on Oct 25, 2009 12:44 AM:

" Facto you are as blind as the rest of us who voted for Mr. Obama. He said he would withdraw from both wars. Instead what has he done??? Oh ya, he has increased troops in Iraq and will surely increase troops in Afghanistan. Where is the withdraw? Now we will be killing more innocent people buy this illegal action. Obama is a complete failure and will not get us government run health care either, which was another corner stone of his promises. He is now doomed to be a four year president. What a disappointment.

Deliberation wrote on Oct 24, 2009 11:54 PM:

" He's the President which we trust,
Although our treasury he may bust.
Sends troops to fight a war severe,
But first Chicago an Olympic so dear.
"I won the Nobel" he humbly admits ,
So my generals can wait until I see fit.
Golf, dancing and campaign trips,
Are a priority to military encourgements.
Health care is vital to everyone,
As long as it's paid for by someone.
I promised "change to believe in,"
Now it seems it ain't gonna happin'.
Same old stuff with deliberation,
"I'm the President" until next election! "

" Looks like this story has evolved into the "Russ vs Facto" quarrel with "Skeptic" throwing-in his two cents worth. What does all this have to do with the writer's comment that Obama is a little behind the eight ball when managing the Afghan war? "




Facto wrote on Oct 17, 2009 8:25 AM:

" By the way Russ, I checked out some of your earlier comments.You must have forgotten to say "in my opinion". A simple mistake, as I was able to tell it was opinions rather than stating facts. "




Facto wrote on Oct 17, 2009 8:15 AM:

" A clever way to avoid question. What wrong facts are you talking about. "




Change wrote on Oct 16, 2009 10:31 PM:

" Bibb's letter pointed out a couple of basic facts: Obama hadn't spoken to his appointed general in about three months prior to his trip to Denmark; he tried to sell Chicago as an Olympic site, which failed; and he still hasn't made a decision on sending additional troops to Afghanistan, even though the very general he placed in that job requested them a few months ago. What's up with that!

But at least he got a Nobel prize for something and danced the night away during somekind of Latin fiesta. Change we can believe in? "




Russ wrote on Oct 16, 2009 5:56 PM:

" Facto I answered your questions. As far as cockiness, I beg to differ. It's called passion. If you have an opinion start it off "In my opinion...", instead of making a flat out statement. I have a very different opinion than you and your republican counterparts about Obama and the direction that our country should take. I will never voluntarily walk lock step on the path you take because it is contrary to what I believe in. I believe Obama is wrong. So be it. And I will call you out on it. "




Decision Time wrote on Oct 16, 2009 10:57 AM:

" Our troops continue to be further endangered while Obama twiddles his thumbs. Another ten days have gone by and still no word from the White House on Gen. McChrystal's request for additional troops. This has been going on for almost two months. Can't this guy make a decision? "




Facto wrote on Oct 16, 2009 9:56 AM:

" Russ: You seem to be getting pretty cocky lately with your comments, with your vast knowledge. Please explain what facts exactly are wrong. I never mentioned anything about the build up of troops. And my comments were mostly opinion. So what facts are you talking about? "

" my son is being deployed november 22nd he will be gone for a year. my heart goes out to him and all the other soldiers that are over there becasue of the presidents who help the wrong people their focuse should be only the americans. so keep our troops in your prayers "




Russ wrote on Oct 15, 2009 6:07 PM:

" I am sorry Facto but your facts are in error. Obama has presided over the largest troop build up in the war on terror in Afghanistan and most likely will commit even more troops in the coming months. In addition Obama has ran up record deficits (far exceding any president before) and thereby increasing the debt at a rate greater than the previous president. In addition he has commited more money and training to Mexico and Columbia in their failed interdiction and eradication efforts. The banking system deregulated under Clinton by the way. Try again if you want "




Facto wrote on Oct 15, 2009 5:26 PM:

" Before Obama came into office, 80% of the population thought the country was heading in the wrong direction. Things were happening in a free fall. Obama has slowed that down. He still has a lot of work to do but I feel a lot better with him at the helm. His biggest mistake was in thinking he could change Washington and the lobbyists. The Republicans are leaderless and allowing the Right Wing fringe to become mainstream in their party. No chance of bipartisanship with The Party of No.To want him to fail is to want our Country to fail. "




Facto wrote on Oct 15, 2009 5:13 PM:

" Obama has always been up front on it taking a couple of years to bring the economy back up to par. Did you actually think this could be done in 9 months? Under Bush, the war budget was kept seperate from the national debt, so we had no way to know exactly what the costs were. Obama included it in the national debt records. Escalating the war on drugs in Mexico? What do you suggest,invading Mexico? The War on Drugs has been a big failure. It's never worked.Those countries to our south don't like intrusions from outside. "




Facto wrote on Oct 15, 2009 5:01 PM:

" Bringing the massive debt under control. Obama inherited a mess. The biggest recession since the "Great Depression". This along with two Wars going on. The one in Afghanistan largely ignored by the previous Administration. Not to mention a banking system that wasn't being regulated and would have failed, bringing this country and eventually the World into a huge depression. The previous administrations "cowboy diplomacy" made us very unpopular in the World. It had failed in North Korea. And he inherited a failed Drug War.Yes, the list goes on. It would take a Miracle Worker to fix all of these problems. "




Facto wrote on Oct 15, 2009 4:48 PM:

" Let's break this down some. Gitmo first. You ask "has he closed Gitmo within the time frame he set?" The time frame he set was for January 22nd. So the answer is obviously no. Gitmo has become a strong tool in the hands of terrorists. They use it to recruit. It's a symbol of "torture". Obama did a good thing in closing it. He underestimated the problems He would face. What to do with the detainees. Republican rhetoric was "Keep these detainees off sacred American soil". Obama may not make the time table, but it will get done. "




Russ wrote on Oct 15, 2009 11:04 AM:

" I love the "good" president nonsense. Let's see.... Oh yes has he closed GITMO within the time frame he set? Has he brought the massive debt under control? Has he coordinated the largest build up of troops in the war on terror (Aghanistan)? Has he watched a nuclear power deteriorate at the hands of the Taliban and Al-Quaeda? Has he escalated the war on drugs in Mexico and South America? Has he brought N. Korea back to diplomacy? Has he continued an unprecedented takeover of private enterprise with taxpayer money? A good president? The list goes on and on. "




Roll da bones wrote on Oct 15, 2009 1:42 AM:

" We shouldn’t be in Afghanistan or Iraq. Neither one of these military actions were justified nor are they being productive other than killing innocent people. Don’t tell me we are there because of 9/11. Most of the freedom fighters on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia and I don’t see us dropping bombs there? Both of these wars are about money. Iraq is about oil and Afghanistan is about opium. We need them both. The oil we need to be able to drive to the corner to buy our opium. Your terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. "

One thing about the TRUTH. It can touch a lot of nerves. Why have dissenting opinions. Let's just all believe the way you do! And to put this to rest, I only worship Jesus, thank you. I do, however, think Obama makes a good President and the Republicans have nothing to offer. "

" So Facto- By saying that Obama has done nothing in the 1st 9 months of his political office to warrant this "honor" or even so boldly in the 1st 2 weeks of the office, before nominations closed, we have something in common with terrorists? Obama and Arafat have a lot more in common now. And that should tell you something about the value of your prize. Why do you worship Obama? "

April Fools wrote on Oct 9, 2009 4:34 PM:

" This award only further proves the Nobel Peace Prize is simply a trinket often given to those with no experience in peace. Yasser Arafat won it in 1994 but that didn't stop him from killing more people.

Since Obama only needed two weeks in office to form a "vision" of everything the Nobel Commitee said he has done, then I suppose he'll probably be receiving an Acadamy Award next. Maybe even a Heisman for being the best quarterback in Whitehouse history.

But look on the bright side, maybe this is only a late April Fool's joke. "

Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future." We should be proud that the World sees the USA that way with Obama. He has gotten the World's attention in a positive way. He has revived the "nuclear free" effort with Russia once again. He accepted the award with humility if you care to check it out. "

" Actually Skeptic is more septic than accurate. It has been all over the news about the lack of contact the president has had with the leadership in the field in Afghanistan. Seems his attention has been diverted towards a more "domestic" agenda. The 2016 Olympics was the least of our concerns. Dealing with the a two front war. a recession, national debt, SS/Medicare. UHC closing GITMO, getting Bwana his ganja and host of other issues should take precedence. Time to finish what was started in Afghanistan, so we can move forward. "




Facto wrote on Oct 8, 2009 5:52 PM:

" Failure to talk to his field generals? Could that be because they are in the field? Look, the President gets briefed every day by his Security advisors which includes the Military. To assume there is no communication is crazy. Any updates by the Generals in the field I'm sure is included. This is just a lame attempt to attack our President. Try examining your motives. Why the hatred. Should we let the Military set our Foreign Policy? That's a scary thought! Let him give it careful thought. Lives depend on it. "

I'm sure the Marines and soldiers in the field would sure appreciate it. "

" A lot of you armchair quarterbacks need to take the blinders off. If Obama had managed to get the Olympics brought to Chicago it would have meant jobs for many Americans. It would have helped our economy. Obama took a mere 18 hours to fly over there and back. You people want to tear down his Presidency so bad that you're against good things for our country. Pretty pathetic. If you could only realize that you're tearing down our country too. "

" Mike, I commend you for writing about what you know.... And apparently what you know happens to be whatever topic Rush Limbaugh has been trumpeting on his radio program. I just heard Rush telling his listening audience that they will be healthier if they Don't get the H1N1 (swine flu) shots. Why don't you write a letter to the editor all about it. I look forward to reading your thoughtful and thought provoking letter next week. "
