Watch this moron on CNN try and get Katrina Pierson off the subject and every time she tries to clarify what she's trying to say he goes to a break. The truth of the matter is in the 8 years of George W. Bush as president 575 Americans lost their lives in Afghanistan. Under Obama at least 2,000. He moved out of Iraq to try and concentrate on Afghanistan and made matters in both countries a 1000 times worse. So yes Obama owns Afghanistan and Iraq. ISIS wouldn't exist if he and dimwitted Secretary of State hadn't pulled out of Iraq.

I also read today about Pierson being on CNN and the anchor calling Trump racist for relying on Heritage for immigration policy.

How can someone in his business not know or have heard of the Heritage Foundation?

Bush was pulling out of Afghanistan. Obama criticized him for it, and said we needed to pull out of Iraq and go into Afghanistan. Which he has done.

Security demands a new sense of shared responsibility. And that’s why we will launch a standing, trilateral dialogue among the United States, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Our nations will meet regularly, with Secretaries Clinton and Secretary Gates leading our effort. Together, we must enhance intelligence sharing and military cooperation along the border, while addressing issues of common concern like trade, energy, and economic development

Trump is sure infesting this talking head. Was Trump sarcastic or not sarcastic or semi-sarcastic? We really need to know.

Obama has done really well in restoring Afghanistan as the world leader in opium production. And now that his daughter is smoking weed, the classic gateway drug, it shouldn’t be long before she moves up. He must be so proud.

Well, Obama did increase troop levels over Bush era levels in Afghanistan making it his war.

Bush starting the planning for a surge in Afghanistan, and Obama reviewed the plan and followed through.

If they liberals succeeded convincing people that LBJ’s Vietnam War was Nixon’s War, then we can do the same with Afghanistan.

Remember back in ‘07/08?? Obama and all the Dems were chortling about how terrible the Iraq war was and that it was draining resources from the “real” war, Afghanistan?? Back then, they claimed ownership of the Afghan war which they said Bush was deliberately ignoring. We were subjected to months and months of “Iraq BAD, Afghanistan GOOD”! While Bammy didn’t start the war in Afghanistan, he sure ran to the microphones to claim it all his own, in an obvious effort to bury Bush and McCain. He and Hill OWN it!!

The CNN interviewer attacked Pierson in mid interview and asked her Gotcha Questions to which there was no sensible answer and then they edit and twist her words to make Katrina sound foolish.

Why would anyone want to be interrogated by CNN?

Looks like CNN doesn’t allow comments on these things.... they should get an ear/eye full on their bias.
