He is the Commander-in-chief, so technically it is his war.

Maybe you can move somewhere in England where only a white person has always ruled. The fact is my daughter will grow up around children of other races who will not feel that the USA is as one sided as it used to be. Then while your over in England your daughter can be influenced by children of other races that look up to Young Jeezy. Good ole' lazy English descendants that couldn't do there own work for themselves bought slaves to do it for them. Then when a person of that same ethnic background rises to presidency, we have people like you complaining with your senile branded thoughts. I wish people like you lived in China. So when you talk shit about your ruler, the police would show up and cut out your toungue.

Of course it's Obama's war. Bush took us in but then ignored Afganistan after taking on Iraq. It wasn't relly Bush's war for many years.

Here we have the greatest mistake in US history. Oh, I meant obama. He is the greatest mistake that this nation has ever made in the 233 years of existing.
It is sad how no one has been able to see how he is trying to bring this great nation to its knees and surrender to socialist communism. Just watch and see.

To us military persons, Marines, we do not think of Obama as our commander in chief, since he was too much of a coward to become a real American and a real leader. Without military experience he nothing. He knows nothing of war, only the war he is trying to ignite here in the USA does he know.
