Iraq

[redcap]

yoyo, I find pbal to be very consistant.

However, there are those who spin everything to Obama's view.

I walk each morning with a retired AF Colonel. You would not like his thoughts. And I doubt that even you could spin them.

You make it sooooo easy yoyo.  Merry Christmas

Just so I don't piss anybody off, can i get opinions on who should take the blame for the 16,000 contractors that are going to man the embassy in Iraq?

I mean, Bush started building the US's largest embassy in the world, maybe he had this vision of what it should be.  But he is no longer President, so maybe Obama should take the blame for this money pit.

Assuming you are routing for the stillers, this is a blatant attempt to suspend your dislike count through the weekend.

Yes it is

I know the irony is lost on you...

Indeed.
Assigning responsibility is hardly devisive. Playing Gotcha while doing so just to score political points. or to get laid, is. Likewise for adapting the facts to suit an argument. And of course, "Mom, he's touching me," "Am not," "Are too," is such a mature way of forwarding our political and sociological agendas.

Also, you might want to try criticism without judgement. The results may surprise you.

Was the money all secured by Bush for the entire built prior to him leaving office?  Where does it state that there weill be contractor's manning it?  If they are all contractor's can it truly be called an "Embassy"?  Could Obama have stopped the building of it if he had wanted too?  If so why didn't he?  I don't favor Bush over Obama I think they both sucked in their own ways at being the leader of the free world cause they both in their own ways don't truly stand for the freedoms that this nation was founded on they stand for a free government to run over the freedom of the people of the nation.  Pretty sure it was intended to be the other way around that is why limited government was called for from the very beginning of our nation.

Plenty to go around: Bush initially, then Obama who could stop it with the stroke of a pen, but my guess is assigning any respsonsibility to Obama would be too distasteful for you.
