Six years in, the lame duck Obama is gearing up to be a war president.<br \/>\nThe dismissal of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and many top military brass who disagreed with him is the latest sign of the president&#8217;s growing hawkishness and his total repudiation of where he stood in 2002. That stance as a very junior senator was that IRAQ was a \u201cdumb war \u2013 a rash war.\u201d Those comments put him on the Democratic radar and he would soon be campaigning and winning the presidency with promises to end that unpopular war. \u201cMission accomplished \u201cin 2011. Or was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Having botched the mid-term elections and being snubbed by his own Democratic compatriots, he is now creating one war scenario after another. Proxy Wars by economic means such as in the Ukraine or whatever presents itself. Afghanistan is not finished yet, nor is Iraq or Syria. I find it totally alarming that my own Democratic representatives in WA State agree with him. Nothing like being brooded by a war military industry and corporate lobbyists.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I only hope that our young men and women do not fall for this Roman like expansion. Once used and abused they have a damn hard time even getting Veteran medical care. That said, we are also creating a mercenary army made of illegals, who will be eligible for citizenship after serving. Remember Rome?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>This \u2018Noble Peace Prize\u201d President has so far this year conducted about 900 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, as well in other Middle East Nations. Oh yah, most of the victims are civilians.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Glad to know he is listening to Gen. Martin Dempsey, rather than Hagel and we can be damn assured that we will embed more troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. The right wing neo-coms and the Democrat (Republican) lite have won! Nothing like a \u2018good war\u2019 to correct fiscal irresponsibility, something that is much harder to fix.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cVision\u201d was supposed to be Barack Obama\u2019s strong suit, wasn\u2019t it? Hope? Change? Well the clowns have won. The Russian \u201creset\u201d; the Syrian red line, the Libyan red line, Egypt, Turkey, Israel and the ARAB SPRING that turned into an ARAB WINTER.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I for one will not accept the loss of personal freedoms due to the Patriot Act and NSA actions nor forget the mess of this Presidents actions around the world. This was a lack of vision, or at best a narcissistic and petty vision of how the world should be. How American is that?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Regarding \u201cVISION\u201d, Clinton had it Biblically right \u201cWithout vision, the people perish.\u201d With the puny vision that Obama\u00a0has created we are indeed going to perish to a vision that is both warped, puny and beholding to the corporations that it\u2019s hardly worth the name. <a title=\"OBAMA \u201cWorst president ever?

America seems intent to export its interpretation of democracy and freedom to the rest of the world, yet most don&#8217;t want it.
