We’re going to have a huge number of troops there, whose supply lines run through Pakistan. I see future problems with this.

“U.S. troops are expected to start leaving the region ‘well before’ the end of Obama’s first term, the AP reported Tuesday.”

Looks like the MSM is conceding that it’s all about politics and the ‘bama not wanting to be a one termer. Very revealing.

I get the feeling that every decision Obama makes is based on whether it will help him get relected or not. Maybe that is normal for a 1st term president but either way, I don't feel comfortable with anything he's doing just for that reason.

President Clinton said U.S. troops would be out of Yugoslavia by Christmas 1999

A senior government official told NBC contributor Col. Jack Jacobs that the president believes that a transition from American-led combat to Afghan leadership of the effort will begin in July 2011.

Obama's about to find out that the fortunes of war do not neatly comply with political timelines.

Its a stunned development....
O sends in THIRTY THOUSAND troops into harms way under a catch and release program...Fat lips? you get court martialed. And you cant point guns at suspects...

There is no real support in the big white house as he doesnt want to see his brothers in the nation harmed. Pakistan? The ISI are a wing of al quada and there is a huge problem... yet he pumps a shitload of cash in there to fight ourselves.

It is an upside down world but what do you expect from the great destroyer of America, a marxist muslim president?

Great. Tell your enemy when you’re leaving, so he can just lie low and wait it out.

Now THAT’s some military strategy for you!

This is a political decision based almost entirely on political calculations. There is very little military calculation in it at all.
