There is now not even a hint of an effort to make the narrative on Afghanistan consistent. From the AP:

President Barack Obama’s national security adviser did not rule adding more U.S. forces in Afghanistan to help turn around a war that he said on Sunday is not now in crisis.

James Jones, a retired Marine general with experience in Afghanistan, said the United States will know “by the end of next year” whether the revamped war plan Obama announced in March is taking hold...

My daughter is being deployed to Afghanistan in a few months. These Liberal wads have no clue what to do there. If real American's lives weren't at stake I'd hope that this could help trigger another LBJ like one term presidency.

Should we Tea Party this issue? Should we stick this debacle in 0's eye? How many real Americans need to die in:The Good Obama War" before we will have won. Do these S***birds even know what the objectives are? What-socialism for all Afghanis? S**t, we could have let the Soviets do that.

My condolences on having a child serving this man, in this war that is turning into obama’s very own Vietnam. I do believe the nation needs to hear your voice.

Hope all goes well for her

Barry and Dems were for victory before they decided not to use the word "victory" when applied to Afghanistan. Accordingly, since Barry and company seem to keep reminding us and being that they are having such difficulties in using the word "victory" in relation to Afghanistan or the development of a successful position, maybe they can simply resort to utilizing "We Won".... =.=

The Commanding General over in Afghanistan has the brains, and experience in the AOR to get the job done - if left alone to attend to those matters which professional soldiers understand. When complete amateurs in the matter are in charge (interpreted as the clowns running operational and tactical decision making from DC), the path is so fraught with peril as to be unfathomable. (Interpret as Danger Will Robinson, DANGER!)

Thanks silverleaf. She swore an oath to the Constitution and takes that very seriously. It just cracks me up that we don’t hear from the left about this now that zero is CIC.

Don’t know if you saw this youtube vid on Marine LCPL Lara’s return to Texas:

Zero and the other leftist “Constitutional Law Professors” will never measure up to these Americans.
