Although there is an antiwar movement. It’s intresting to see, all of the antiwar parades and protests have almost completely ended since Obama has become president! Yet still troops are still dieing in Iraq and Afganistan has now had 30 deathes in July (the most killed in 1 month). Yet no outcry! All of you knew Bushes plans, but NOW here is a presedent that promised the killing would end to all you war protesters yet it still continues. Did you guys just really hate Bush and used Iraq for a reason to lash out, or, are BOTH wars fine with you now so theres no reason to protest. BE PROSISTANT or shut up! Our troops are not into politics and if your happy with Obamas war’s you discust me. Support Our Troops! |
