Wilson had World War 1, Johnson escalated Vietnam, and Bush had Afghanistan. The President gets elected or re-elected and brings us into a war within the first year. The votes just don't mean much at that point. Our beloved Democracy. Assuming Obama gets re-elected, do you think there will be a conflict we get involved with?
Obama's second term

You know, wars occur within a president's second, third or fourth years also. That's the beauty of the conspiracy theorist's mind - picking and choosing to *discover* perceived patterns and ignoring everything else.
I can go outside on a clear night and connect the dots among stars to spell out "The Illuminati are coming! The Illuminati are coming!" Proof positive that it's been writ in the stars since the beginning of time.

We already have been getting our war on in the U.S., I don't think Obama's administration wants to pretend there is funding for another one.
did you mean Bush had Iraq? i'd say Afghanistan is a whole other ballgame from Vietnam and WW1.

You forgot Clinton, who had two terms and no major wars. Reagan also had no major wars. Neither did Coolidge. Nor did Teddy Roosevelt have any major wars. Eisenhower ended the Korean War and had relative peace afterwards.
You could say we were attacked, but being a conspiracy theorist I don't know what really happened. If it was an inside job or the attacks were allowed to happen, I can't see too many differences between Afghanistan and the other wars we've been in. I'd have to know what really happened.
Not disagreeing, but when you consider the small number of major conflicts we've been involved in the percent that have started in the first year is very high. Talk about Iran seems to be increasing lately. If a conflict with Iran occurs, I would assume it'll happen in 2013 regardless of who is President.

Well even the mainstream media acknowledges there was a document regarding the attacks from August. I don't recall Bush doing anything regarding the document. If he did everything to try to prevent an attack from happening, then we were innocent and Afghanistan would be different than the others. Otherwise you can't make that argument. I'd say logic is definitely being applied.
Well, if someone attacks me, I'm innocent regardless of whether or not I did everything possible to prevent an attack from happening.
I sometimes wonder whether conspiracy theorists are conspiracy theorists simply because the existence of incompetence terrifies them, so they have to manufacture other explanations.
I'm also starting to think that religion was invented by conspiracy theorists.

Obama doesn't need a third term, he's just a puppet for the lizard people.
Usually when people know they're going to be attacked, they do something about it. I'm not sure what your example has to do with Bush though. Bush used the attacks to get us into two conflicts we never should have been in. It's much different than a person off the streets being attacked.

Are you implying that the US had no counter-terrorist operations before 9/11?
