The link I posted was a straight interview. Nothing opinionated, nothing liberal, nothing edited. It's the transcript of the President. Nothing was taken out of context. The President said it plain as day. This has nothing to do with "liberal media". Stop parroting that shit please.

First off, I'm not a liberal, nor am I a conservative. I hold no affiliation to a party unlike the rest of the moronic Americans out there. TWO PARTY SYSTEMS ARE GETTING IT DONE AMIRITE?

(one of the very sources from your link)
Washington and Baghdad Agree on One Point - Sanctions Hurt - NYTimes.com
Listen people, if you are going to argue your stance, at least read your "facts" before you present them. /facepalm

The US forces killed 1 billion innocent children and women. See I can make up numbers too. How about presenting something besides Wikipedia please. Thanks in advance. Also, those deaths were from UN Sanctions, from the very link you posted earlier. Kinda shot yourself in the foot on that one bro.

The country is still in turmoil and you now have civil wars between the sunni and shiite. I can see Iraq has turned into a regular Dubai. *rolls eyes*
Man. I'm ready to pack up and roll to Iraq so I can live the good life!! Hear, listen from the good people of Iraq if you don't believe me.
You really are delusional if you believe the Iraqi people are better off.

You expect me to believe some propraganda from the US about how great the Afghanistans love us? hahahahahahahaha You are killing me. The very people that are swindling you, robbing you blind, taking away your civil liberties, these are the guys you turn to for the truth? Guys, it's ok. The Afghanis love us for our invasion because our government says so. My brain hurts thinking about it. Show me something else please.

If you don't think our foreign policy isn't the reason we are hated, then you seriously don't need to be voting. People are attacked for various reason, and not all by "extremist Muslims". When is the last time China was attacked by terrorist? Do they even have that worry? Nope. Why? FOREIGN POLICY!!

...or you could you know, stay the **** out of people's business and lands? You know, that goes a long way. We have bases spread out around the world. Would you allow another country's military base in our nation? Didn't think so, and neither do these people. America need to pull back it's troops, defend it's borders, pretty much like China has. Worked well so far and right now they are the top dog.
