The U.S. ALWAYS falls short when the lowlifes, morons and buffoons on Capitol Hill decide that they are going to tell the military how to fight a war.

The Obamadork falls short of min standards for a sentient human. He (or, it) is the problem, not the U.S.

Nice. I’m sure the families of the people who laid down their lives appreciate that one.

That piece of crap. The only part of the war in Afghanistan that has fallen short is his bloody rules of engagement.

Breathing deeply.

Bronco Bama is setting the stage for a bug-out, in the manner of Viet Nam. Most of the combat troops left in an orderly manner in 1973, but the remaining installations were driven out by a rout some two years later, on April 30, 1975, in a totally graceless and chaotic rush for the last helicopter out. The embassy was overrun and stragglers met with who knows what fate.

This is what lies in the future for us in Afghanistan. What the heck, in a less emphatic way, it is happening to us in Iraq. And it happened in Benghazi.

Nobody seems ready to pick up that phone that has been ringing almost endlessly and relentlessly at the White Hut.

0bama really knows how to boost troop morale, doesn’t he? I’m surprised he didn’t say “fallen short, except for the gay soldiers..”

Afghanistan is Obama’s war. He’s the one who said that was where the real war was. Most of the fallen heroes died there on his watch. Barely made the news. He’s a poor excuse for a Commander in Chief. Most unworthy person to ever hold the office.

“Bronco Bama is setting the stage for a bug-out, in the manner of Viet Nam.”

Yes, and 38 years after their glorious victory over the Yankee oppressors, the Vietnamese willingly and cheerfully have their children make tennis shoes for our children.

I think that is kind of funny.

Couldn’t agree more! He embodies “falling short.” Our soldiers have gone above and beyond, even with his destructive ROE. What a rotten weasel.

When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled... Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat...

Bravest of the brave, sir Barry.
