Sending ammunition, small arms and ground to air shoulder rockets to the enemy, composed of the Al Qaeda affiliated Al Nusrah and Hezbollah, we have been engaged with for 12 years seems counter productive.
Especially when we consider that he just told us we shouldn’t get pulled into conflicts counter to our interest in the Arabian Peninsula.
Except if you remember recently Obama declared the winding down of the war with Al Qeada.
ThinkProgress reports Obama’s statement:
“Groups like [Al Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula] must be dealt with, but in the years to come, not every collection of thugs that labels themselves Al Qaeda will pose a credible threat to the United States,” Obama said. “Unless we discipline our thinking and our actions, we may be drawn into more wars we don’t need to fight, or continue to grant presidents unbound powers more suited for traditional armed conflicts between nation states.” http://thinkprogress.org/security/2013/0…
Is he just uninformed, does he have a very short memory or is he a seditious supporter of radical, conservative Islamic Wahhabi & Muslim Brotherhood terrorists?
What is his motivation to send arms, to oppose Putin?
Can we trust him, does he know what he is talking about, does he have the United State’s best interest at heart? Is he performing his sworn duty to protect the U. S. Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic?
Progressives, Do we need to fight this war?

I mean, there’s a corner of Russia that’s close to Alaska!! I mean, didn’t they notice that or something?! They sailed distances equal to going around the Earth twenty times years before ever discovering America!! I’m sure someone went to that little corner and went “Hey! There’s some kind of land over there! Maybe we should set sail to see what it is instead of commissioning an Italian explorer to go the long way around and mistaking some brown-skinned people for Indians!!” (Maybe not phrased like that exactly but still! I mean…damnit! This makes no sense to me!) Help? I’d really appreciate someone satisfying my curiosity.

Posted on 09 November 2012. Tags: apprciate, being judgemental, bitterness, course, friendships, high grades, lonely in a crowded room, moment, negative qualities, niche, reoccurance, sense, uni life, university, would make sense
It seems like a reoccurance for all my life – not fitting in anywhere. I thought university would change things but I feel I have no niche at all. Joining societies and meeting people elsewhere is fine for most people – but with my course I spend a lot of time with my coursemates and am going to – for more than the standard 3 years. So it would make sense I find my closest friends there. But at the moment I feel so **** all the time, lonely – in a crowded room (now I really can apprciate that phrase ;(), angry (at others and myself) and bitterness.
I know I’m being judgemental about people but I KNOW I don’t fit it. There are some nice people but I can’t see myself being best friends with them because we’re SOSO different. I know people can be friends with different interests, it’s just that I have not found anyone with similar interests.
I feel depressed at the prospect of going to university for a long time – just for the degree, and not enjoying myself. I even thought of dropping the course, reverting back to my hermit lifestyle back home.
I’m just so sick of it all – all my life I feel left out, different and isolated. There’s been issues with just about every aspect of my uni life so far – I regret getting in now. No friendships developing with flatmates, coursemates.
I feel apathetic all the time and have no motivation to do anything. Before I used to study all the time – and my reward would be my high grades. I thought this would change during university – that I’d actually have friends I could party and hang around with who enjoyed my company and vice versa. I suppose I dreamed a little unrealistically. It’s so depressing that I used to think it’ll be over soon, and I’ll be out of here (school etc) with good grades, then I can find some friends… But now all this is just happening again.
University has made me shallow, insecure, and bought out some negative qualities in me – that perhaps were lurking there anyway. But mostly it’s made me feel very low, but is supposed to be one of the best times of my life.

This strikes me as analogous to the following: Walmart employees finally unionize — and then let Walmart executives join their union.
If you have a different point of view, please explain. If, on the other hand, you simply agree with me, you might want to sign this petition to the NEA: http://www.change.org/petitions/the-nati…

“In Salvation by Langston Hughes, there is ambiguity in the text, but the overall message he gave was that people shouldn’t pressure others into being affiliated with their religion by promoting…”
And that’s all I have so far and I was wondering if that made sense and sounded ok or if you could give me other options?? THANKS!
