Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Who says it's a publicity stunt? That's wrong. It could be politically damaging for him to do this. It's you using your dead soldiers to diss the C in C. It's just like spitting on their coffins the way I see it.
Our gutless wonder of a Prime minister would never be seen honouring our war dead because it could affect him in the polls. Our government wanted to sneak the bodies back to Canada in the middle of the night with no press no photos and no honour. Our top general said, "F U politicians and we will bring back our own the way we choose and in the way that lets the people know the real cost of this fight.

****please note I'm changing my post to better fit in with the kinder, gentler political forum rules***

"That's wrong" says who? You?




As for you accusing me of "using your dead soldiers to diss the C in C. It's just like spitting on their coffins the way I see it. " let me point out that you just insulted your own leader.

If you live in a glass house Noble, learn not to throw rocks at the neighbor. I have NEVER said I don't insult Obama........but I also do not appoint myself to be another person's judge and .


I find it unreasonable and distasteful when someone feels the need to exalt themself into the position of believing only their opinion is correct. I often find that we all can be right and wrong. We each are entitled to our opinions. However another's opinion does not mean that mine isn't correct nor allowed.

No man or woman be they American, Canadian or Finnish is my God and only my God has the right to judge my heart.


I believe Obama's actions to be purely a publicity stunt based upon his past actions. It's my belief, my opinion and as an American I get to say it.

Dear Noble One......butt out of something you have no clue about. You don't live on this side of the border and I don't see you fleeing to join us on this side of the border. So, since you really don't know anything about this so call boy wonder "Obama" and what he would do to make himself look good (he has very little chances anymore) in your best interest keep to what you know.

1) Why in the world should we care about dead Taliban? Have the Taliban aver attacked America or done us any harm in any way? (That is except for killing invading/occupying American forces who have no business on their land in the first place)

2) Would installing more American troops in Afghanistan not equate to more American casualties?

3) If "our leaders" were so concerned with eradicating the Taliban and other nefarious bad guys don't you figure we'd be supplying the Pakistani army with desperately needed troop carrying helicopters to assist them in their job removing the Taliban from South Waziristan?

4) I think that as more and more people wake up to the fact that this invasion of Afghanistan and in general this phony war on terror is nothing more than a scheme by some very influential war merchants to sell lots of HumVees and such to the government for top dollar, public support for this farce will continue to wane.

5) This "WOT" has got to be one of the most cynical "wars-for-profit" in the history of mankind and the President should offer a public apology for being suckered into this mess by the war/PROFIT mongering arms industry in the first place- right before he gives the order to evacuate every last soldier immediately.

6) It pains me to state such a thing, but I don't think the occupants of those caskets were heroes at all- they were VICTIMS of misguided policy of a government/arms industry gone totally apeshit.

OUT NOW.

Not necessarily.

Are you suggesting we supply them with "tools of war"? Some pacifist you turned out to be.

Public support has waned due to Barry's ineptitude as Commander in Chief.

Apologize to whom?

That's a good pacifist, got back on message. Nice rebound.

1) Why in the world should we care about dead Taliban? Because they suck. Have the Taliban aver attacked America or done us any harm in any way? Yes, duh.(That is except for killing invading/occupying American forces who have no business on their land in the first place) Wrong.

2) Would installing more American troops in Afghanistan not equate to more American casualties? No. Lern 2 war.

3) If "our leaders" were so concerned with eradicating the Taliban and other nefarious bad guys don't you figure we'd be supplying the Pakistani army with desperately needed troop carrying helicopters to assist them in their job removing the Taliban from South Waziristan? We already do, pay attention.

4) I think that as more and more people wake up to the fact that this invasion of Afghanistan and in general this phony war on terror is nothing more than a scheme by some very influential war merchants to sell lots of HumVees and such to the government for top dollar, public support for this farce will continue to wane. More mindless party line.

5) This "WOT" has got to be one of the most cynical "wars-for-profit" in the history of mankind and the President should offer a public apology for being suckered into this mess by the war/PROFIT mongering arms industry in the first place- right before he gives the order to evacuate every last soldier immediately. Well, that would technically be more than he's doing right now, which is nothing. But still dumb.

6) It pains me to state such a thing, but I don't think the occupants of those caskets were heroes at all- they were VICTIMS of misguided policy of a government/arms industry gone totally apeshit.

RUN AWAY AND CRY NOW.

Your lack of understanding of the War on Terror is truly stunning.
