He promised to announce “fairly shortly” how many U.S. troops will remain in the country after the current combat mission is concluded at end of this year.

Pandering. Only thing politicians know how to do.

You know who else can go to hell? Brad Paisley. I read in the article that he went along in support of the President.

Afghanistan is where great nations go to die.

OK, sounds like another Obama plan. Unfortunately, Hell will freeze over before a true “responsible end” is ever reached.

Soon, before the elections, he will announce the “responsible end” has now been reached (and everyone better get the hell out of Afghanistan anyway they can).

The media, the democratic candidates up for election, and the low information voters will bow and worship his great accomplishment and leadership.

Paisley played at one of the Clown’s inaugural parties, too. Must not really care what his home state of West Virginia think anymore....now that he has married a Hollywood girl and become a multi-millionaire.....

Sell out City.

Of course, Paisley will say “I did it for the troops.”. Bull.

Clown Prince nobama spent many, many millions on his photo-op trip to Afghanistan...how many left-to-suffer-and-die veterans could have been treated for that amount of money? This buffoon despises the military and veterans. It is in-your-face on Memorial day. The poofer is such an embarrassment.

Yep. Why would Barry suddenly start telling the truth. He never has before. Oops, I guess there was the one time when he said he would fundamentally transform this country. Oh, and when electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.

“He has a lot of gall showing up for a photo op with the troops. Thanks to him, the sacrifices made by our military personnel are for naught. This country hasn’t actually won a war since World War II because politicians run these wars, not military.”

And it all started with Harry Truman canning Douglas MacArthur over Korea. If MacArthur had been allowed to do what he was planning, there wouldn’t likely be a North Korea today. Or if the military had been allowed to finish Vietnam, it would not be a communist country today either.
But the real galling thing for me is the needless deaths of our young men and women. Next war, the Congress’ kids go to the front lines first.

Get the troops out, then nuke the poppy fields.

Of course the latter will never happen since we have a vested interest in them.

The Kenyan born impostor is a liar and is not worthy to polish the boots of our soldiers. He despises our brave soldiers and talks down to them. The millions and millions of dollars he spent on this photo op could have helped the medical needs of our soldiers who have given so much to our country. The Kenyan born impostor has no shame. Let the impeachments begin!
