Public Opinion Turns on Afghan War

A recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll shows that opposition to the War in Afghanistan is surging.

According to the Wall Street Journal, 68% of Americans don't feel that the Afghan War will come to a successful conclusion despite the fact that Afghanistan has been President Obama's strong point since he took office and tuned up his strategy. Only 44% of Americans approve of Obama's job with the war. This is a decrease from March when the majority of people approved.

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has said that the initial troop withdrawals next summer "will be of fairly limited numbers." Petraeus is expected to argue that the rest of the troops set to be deployed by Obama will not arrive until later this month, and therefore the counterinsurgency campaign needs more time.

TOPICS: Conspiracy; Government; Military/Veterans; Politics
KEYWORDS: afghanistan; bho; bhofailure; bhofascism; communism; liberalfascism; obama; waronterror
The verdict is in: n0bama doesn't know how to steer the country during wartime. Replace him w/ a real wartime president and Americans will be supporting the troops and national security once again.

I know this is from a communist blog. Even communists are losing faith in n0bama.

My heart goes out to these soldiers.
It was AFU under Bush due to NATO, Now it is totally out of control under Obama

Obamas solution is budgetary cuts for defense.

0bama is well on his way to ceding to the enemy, if he isn’t actually on the opposing side altogether that is. He’ll screw it up, of course. Down the road REAL Americans will be looking down the barrels once more, after some atrocity like 9/11 has further crippled us. I honestly think that we will wind up under a military dictatorship in the near future, within twenty years or so. That is what usually happens when a Republic rides off the rails under fools like the Democrats.

LOL. Truth is we don’t know who the terrorists are. Why speculate? Take down all the cities and bomb every mountain. If the terrorists aren’t dead by then I don’t know what. America needs to stop looking weak.

I saw we bring the troops home now. By allowing a mosque to go up near Ground Zero, New York City has surrendered. What is the point of having our troops fight and die to protect people who aren’t interested in keeping themselves safe?

Oh yeah pull out now and watch the terrorists celebrate. Then they’ll attack us again and we’ll have to go back in.

Despite pretending to support the “good war” in Afghanistan, liberals have wished from the beginning to see both of Bush’s wars fail. And now that they’ve got their guy in the White House, their wish is likely to come true in Afghanistan.

They're already celebrating with the mosque going up at Ground Zero.

We needed to roll through there like Patton would have. Instead we are still pussyfootin’ around over 9 years later.

my prediction is n0bama will de-fund the war effort until the troops are on their last legs and then he’ll use the “suffering” of the troops which HE caused as propaganda to convince Americans he’s right about choosing to cut and run.

Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice.
