It is a roadblock and message to Iran, Iran is primarily Shiite and the majority of Iraq is Shiite. Saudi Arabia is primarily Sunni and is a counter to Iranian influence, Saddam was Sunni which is a minority in Iraq and partly while he ruled with such an iron fist because he was trying to control a majority population. Hence the term Sunni Triangle which was very prosperous to include Fallujah and Ramadi because Saddam always took care of them a little better.

Your subject is misleading, I am a veteran. Don't know where you were going with this...BORING!!!

BORING!!!

This is not a GOP/Tea Party/Tea Bagger political forum or a "beat up the President of the United States" forum...but NO ONE seems to be complaining about that. Fairness across the board I say...if it was up to me we'd keep ALL the conversation dinar investment related ONLY!

You political nuts never cease to amaze me...what about the crosshairs Palin had on her website for Gifford and how they conveniently disappeared after the shooting. The political rhetoric is exactly the kind of talk that produces nuts like the shooter regardless of party affiliation. So there, you got what you wanted...someone is dead and you're busy bashing. Are you happy now?

I would tend to agree with others about religion not belonging here, but the problem is I don't see many of the same people taking such a strong stance on politics belonging on here either. I don't come on here to be talked to death about what's wrong with Obama and everything else under the sun either. Seems like a double standard...but maybe it's just me.

You've summed up your ignorance in one statement..."Yes it's tough times during his presidency, but certainly no tougher than many others before him." Wow...ignorance is bliss, silence is golden and reading is fundamental. I rest my case...exit stage right. BTW...in case you didn't know we don't need performance pay in the military, your freedom isn't free...we provide it complimentary for all of our "countrymen" as you put it...even idiots like you. Keep the change!

Basing disrespect of the Office of the President of the United States on what a foreigner did to Bush? Not American disrespect of the office which is what I addressed? Disrespect of our own? The fact I stated that military officers like myself are not afforded even the option of public disrespect according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. And now in the spirit of democracy, the President elected by the People of the United States is NOT your President? That just about makes you an enemy of the state then and in the '50 & '60s you'd been labeled a separatist or communist...they'd be pulling up to your house right about NOW! I politely explained that I'd love to chat intelligently with you before, but again you appear to be struggling to keep up at this juncture so I appreciate you being done with the thread. I also appreciate the middle eastern history lesson, but I doubt you spent as much time in the sandbox as I did so I'll just "wallow in my delusion". Hail to the Chief (whoever he or she is!). Pop some dip in your mouth and relax (brilliant assumptions complete).

It doesn't matter who he is, it matters what he is. You don't have to respect the person, you respect the position because he is the President...your President. Many Presidents did things that were not honorable...I don't they were bashed in such a vicious manner as this one. I think the underlying issue truly me be racism or maybe not...but this level of disrespect is TRULY on another level and unpatriotic. You cannot consider yourself a patriot and respecter of our government system when you cannot respect the office. I won't waste too much of my precious time with you because it's already apparent you are closed many and incapable of conducting civilized and intelligent dialogue. If you aren't racist don't sweat the aforementioned comments...but for someone to claim they are not racist you sure are ADAMANTLY defending yourself. Hey wait a minute...maybe at this point you actually DO have an idea of what Obama feels like being attacked for something you aren't all day!

Perhaps many of the Obama jokes & rhetoric are considered racist because no one and I do mean no former president has ever caught as much hell and disrespect for the office as he has gotten. I am military and politically there is always plenty of disagreement amongst ourselves, but we aren't allowed to show disrespect for elected officials. The rhetoric goes too far for a sitting president even going so far as to yell "You Lie!" at the President during session in Congress. Where does it end because he is OUR president no matter what and the same was Dems had to suck up 8 years of Bush is the same ways Reps will have to suck up 8 years of Obama. It isn't a democracy only when Republicans...it's a democracy for all that deserves respect at all times.

I've been riding this thing out since 2004 so if anyone understands...I DO!!!

This is stupid...you got so-called experts hiding their faces in videos...and deputy registrar supposedly certifying a 1961 birth in 1964?! ARE YOU F**KING SERIOUS?! Get a life...anybody can buy documents for the right price by the way...but you post a supposed 1961 document certified three years later if you really look at it closely?! Get over yourself...this country is way too strong and powerful to let something like this slide. No one at NSA, CIA or DIA has raised the flag on this but the knuckleheads in the field have it all figured out? Yeah right...bring on the negatives because I LOVE them but leave me with an even number of negatives because that always equals positive if you know anything about science unlike these self-proclaimed forgery clowns...oops I mean experts!

The guy is a fraud. His real name is Ron Polland. He received a BA in Psychology from Florida State University in 1970, a Masters in Educational Research from FSU in 1972, and a Doctorate in Instructional Systems from FSU in 1978. His curriculum vitae lists the other accomplishments he finds noteworthy. He holds himself out as an expert on surveys and market research. He has NONE of the expertise he dishonestly claims. Why do you think he blurs his face? What's the point of a video if you're going to puss out and hide your face?! LAME!

This is ridiculous, soldiers are always paid in USD's...PERIOD!!! And Direct Deposit is required for all service men and women, back in the day it used to be referred to as SurePay.

Enough already with this garbage...the LTC you referenced never asked G.W. Bush for a copy of his birth certificate when he was deployed many times under his presidency did he? So what is the "real" reason...the true underlying issue for why he persists on pressing this ridiculous issue and ruining his career over it? I feel confident I know the answer...do you?!
