If he’s so smart, why doesn’t he come up with a way to win the war? The military should protect our soldiers and just sit back and wait for the Presidents strategy. This guy wouldn’t even know how to load a weapon, let alone fire one.

He’s making the decision to let someone else make the decision for him. He looses no matter which way he goes. You gotta love it..........as long as he doesn’t endanger our troops, which he cares less about.

Groping for a “cut and run” strategy that looks good. Better that than wasting our troops’ lives in a no-win strategy assured by hamstringing ROE. In a war of attrition (which is always the case against an enemy who doesn’t value lives, including his own)obe must attrit the enemy on a grand scale, whatever the cost in civilian casualties, or get out.

He knew during the campaign. How could he forget so soon?

Obama is an EEO jive turkey who wants to spend his life "looking cool" above all else; he is not smart enough to come up with a strategy for winning a poker game, much less the HIS war in Afghanistan.

He impresses some of the more ignorant segments of our society, but he's still trying to vote "present". The empty suit that became president is shrinking from the heat.

Sadly, no.

He wants islam to win.

Everything 0bama has done has:

A. weakened America
B. strengthened islam
C. attacked Israel

or some combination of the above.

Can you cite something he’s done that doesn’t fit A, B, or C?

Although SJackson has dibs on: “He bought a Portuguese water dog.”, Califreak asks, “Didn’t the swimmer pick the breed, or is that just a rumor?”

Do you have something, anything else? Come on, help me out here!

Obama has a hand picked general and ambassador in Afghanistan, one says to send troops the other says don’t send troops one of them must be fired.
