Obama at West Point: Shhh, we can't say 'Victory'

First, the executive summary: President Obama announced to our enemy the date we will walk away from the fight. Win, lose, or draw, we are gone in July 2011. Now I am no general, but it seems that telling your enemy that, after fighting us for 8 years, he only needs to wait another year and a half and we will be out of his hair, is frankly idiotic. Oh, and just for good measure, he threw in that we would be cleared out of Iraq by, you guessed it, 2011. Good plan for the ol' reelection bid there Mr. President, not that Obama would even consider such a craven political angle in drafting a military plan.

He is counting on the bad guys not overrunning Iraq and Afghanistan and murdering a lot of people between July 2011 and November 2012. I am sure the jihadis will see his goodwill and respond in kind by not cutting off a lot of heads before the election. If we are lucky the Iran thing will blow up before that and moot the whole thing.

I am sure the whole event today was hugely disappointing to the cadets. Most of them probably were convinced they had the Kenyan Usurper right where they wanted him. But the orders to apprehend the traitor never came.

[cranked]

The crap is both hilarious and a travesty. These boys and girls are taught nothing but what is and what constitutes a “victory” or “defeat,” and to have a pansy-in-chief who can’t even say “victory” or “defeat” in his speech at West Point is a flat out joke and disgrace.

[newnhdad]

Can’t say victory and he votes present.

[prayerfullywaiting]

and you can’t say “terrorist” either. Then who are we fighting...
