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?

its not like Obama announced the Air Force One photo op over NYC either.
I guess it is the same as when a president is at Crawford on vacation and pictures are taken by the White House Press Corp.

You might want to check with the White House and ask them about it.

And, as usual, that does absolutely nothing towards excusing the sickening behavior of the current president.

right.. cause Photos of Bush on vacation are the same as these pictures and VIDEO.

either way. someone clearly made the decision to use this as a photo op. maybe it wasn't Obama himself but it had to have been someone IN the administration.

I don't think it would have occurred to President Bush to use Dover AFB and returning casualties for a photo op.

He has class.

You bet I believe they would continue. One of OBL's audio clips confirmed that as long as the Palestinians are persecuted and have no home, things will continue as such. Now who is really persecuting the Palestinians is debatable and I don't believe it's the Jews. When/if the Palestinians find a home, the muslims will find another cause with which to be inflamed about. They will always find a reason to hate someone somewhere.

Muslims see the Jews as an evil that must be obliterated off the face of the earth and christians come in second as an evil that needs to be obliterated. This gripe the radical muslims have is based solely on their need to conquer til the world is nothing but muslim. But I know deep down inside you already know this.

Muslims have been raping, pillaging and plundering since, well, since before Islam's inception. Before being muslim they were nomadic arabs. And WE had nothing to do with that. When there's no one left for them to fight with, they fight amongst themselves. Mohammad was fighting other arabs (pagans) when he was "inspired" and Islam began. History tells us this.

I'm sorry that you need a personal letter from OBL himself, in order for you to believe that he was in Afghanistan.

While I in fact agree with most of your opinion here, I must say that I don't think that military intervention in this case is doing a thing toward solving any problems and is in fact causing a problem to become much worse.

Leaving aside our effective use of our military in past instances and a false sense of nationalism, I think that our military involvement in Afghanistan is an exercise in futility and will have disastrous consequences- witness the ruination of the Russians over there.

The Russians were doing fine til the CIA became involved and helped the Afghanis.

As far as "problem solving" goes? When Daniel Pearl went into Pakistan, he wanted to get their message out. Now any smart person would have seized this opportunity to tell their side of the story and the whole world could have understood their "plight". What did they do? They taped a video of them cutting off his head on camera. Yeah, that was smart.///// Now the whole world understands them in a different light. They are at best barbaric and evil. How would you deal with this? I see this kind of action in the same light as a dog that gets a taste for blood in its mouth, you might as well shoot it because you can't change it at this point.

With muslim radicals it's hate that propels them and it's hate that compels them to do what they do, pure and simple.

Obama that POS had to take the White House Press corps the Secert Service on Marine 1 from Washington DC to have a Photo OP. He is a LYING SACK OF #### THAT NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED REMOVED FROM OFFICE FASTER THAN HIS BUDDY BLAGO WAS HERE IN IL.

I'd say cause he realizes people are angry with him over his inability and lack of concern to make a decision on Afghanistan. But this is definitely not the way to do it. I doubt he would be there if the polls showed people were not upset with his job performance.
