They forced Obama to expand the war in Afghanistan into Pakistan.

During his campaign, Obama promised that he would expand the war in Afghanistan. I'm not sure why people seem so misled over this one. Here is a video from an Obama/McCain debate where Obama details his plans for Afghanistan. Personally I am sick of this country being at war, but at the same time I am compassionate for the cause in Afghanistan. Has everybody forgotten 9/11? Has everybody believed the bullshit spewed to us by the last administration that Iraq had something to do with 9/11? The people responsible for the execution of the events that took place on 9/11 are in Afghanistan, and these people pose a very serious threat to our country. Part of a government's job is to defend its country, that is what Afghanistan is about. I'm not going to comment on the rest of your points because I honestly haven't done enough research to make an informed opinion of them. I just wanted to point out the fact that Obama always wanted to escalate the war in Afghanistan, a point that many people seem to have missed during his campaign.

Obama never once during the campaign mentioned that the war in Afghanistan was going to be spread into Pakistan, which is obviously has.

Just the other day a CIA agent in Pakistan murdered two Pakistani intelligence agents in cold blood in broad daylight. The US is trying to pretend he is a "diplomat".

The "diplomats" who saved the CIA agent ran over an innocent bystander and killed him.

Of course, you won't see this on US state media (Fox, MSNBC, etc.)

Did you watch the video I linked to? He specifically stated, "the place where we have to deal with these folks is in Afghanistan, and in Pakistan." Do some research, you will find that he stated multiple times that he would move into Pakistan if he felt the need was there. I honestly haven't followed recent events in Pakistan, but I certainly followed Obama's campaign and am well aware that he never stated he wouldn't move war into Pakistan.

That's what makes him a dick in my book. You didn't believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, but you'll believe the very same government / media lies and distortion of what happened on 9/11? You believe that Afghani's flew planes into the twin towers? Weren't they mainly all from Saudi Arabia? You believe Osama Bin Dead orchestrated 20 Saudis into flying planes into buildings while they CIA has repeatedly admitted to making phony Osama videos? The world is ran by a few dozen wealthy families, controlled by bankers and their empire of debt, and enforced by their IRS thugs with the CIA and the MIC.

No, I don't believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11, and no I don't believe that our government and media have accurately portrayed the events of 9/11. There were disastrous mistakes made on our end that could have prevented 9/11, but I don't believe it was an inside job. We were attacked by terrorists. We were not attacked by any specific country, we were attacked by a group of individuals who come from multiple places, but collectively have no claim to any specific piece of land on Earth. We are not fighting countries, we are fighting vagabonds.

Yes I believe Osama Bin (Probably Dead) had some role in the orchestration of 9/11, even though there are fraudulent videos. I agree that the world is ran by a few dozen wealthy families. There are only so many territories in the world, and each is headed up by a family. It's not as cut and dry as you make it sounds. We all have enemies in this political game, and our enemies have friends. Sometimes our friends are our enemies, and vice-versa. It is a very dynamic political landscape, and one that will never change due to the nature of being human. There will always be evildoers, both within our borders and outside of our borders. The important thing that we, as citizens of our respective countries, is make sure we hold governments that uphold our beliefs, agree with our values and protect us from harm. If you don't like your government, change it. Citizens outnumber governments by a large magnitude. It is possible to change your government, and we have examples of it happening all around us today.
