Impossible to really know, of course, but given what you already know about Obama's politics, how do you think the slick-one would've responded to 9/11 had he been president at the time?

No, I won't chastise you for that. I may even hug you ... albeit in a manly leaning-forward-to-avoid-genital-contact kind of a way. |

lesbian
and anyway, it's a well known fact on this here board that the only man I'll ever offer my genital area to in a sexual way is Duff Mckagan. And that's only because, if you squint, he sort of looks a bit like Heather Locklear in TJ Hooker. |

Oh yeah? and what has that got to do with Obama's possible response to 9/11. I do wish you Americans would stick to the point sometimes. I really do! |

you're the one who brought your genitals here. but anyway, he would have listened to his advisors. also, he would not have pushed the iraq angle. after all he's a thinking man not some unqualified dumbfuck |

OK, I doubt the Iraq angle would've surfaced, as you say. But I think the national mood for revenge would've put him in a bit of a spot really. Saying that, was that mood enhanced by the increasingly militaristic rhetoric provided by Doubleyaah and networks such as Fox, or were they simply providing a voice for an already existing mood of revenge?

the original drive was to take ossama down and i think he would have focused on that. i remember when this happened i was talking to my dad on the phone & i told him ossama was gonna get fucked in a bad way-- and the taliban, good motherfucking riddance-- but then they started with the crapola and the bullshit and the lies. i think that's when a lot of people got off the revenge train & starting asking "what the fuck?" i know some fairly intelligent people that were CONVINCED saddam had WMDs simply because they trusted the government clowns. |

Do you think he would've ordered a military strike on Afghanistan in order to do so?

well if you recall the taliban was asked to turn over ossama and they said no. so the obvious next step was to go get him |

Well, I said in the first post that noone could answer it absolutely, but isn't it a perfectly reasonable thing to wonder how a politician would've responded to an event in the past, based on what you know about his general position on things? As for the meaningless thread thing. I guess it might be, but considering that only about 5% of threads onthis forum have any really great significance, who cares. It's a debating point, that's all. Ignore it if you want. And if enough people follow we can all watch it drop down the list until it disappears. Simple as. |

He would have said "Excuse me children, The President has to go put a boot up someone's ass. And not sit there biting his lip like a student with a dunce cap.

He would have invaded Afghanistan, same as Clinton would have, or any other person who would have been President.
