In remarks with Afghan president Hamid Karzai at the White House this afternoon, President Barack Obama said the U.S. has fallen "short of the ideal" in Afghanistan:

This POS POTUS is telling those who gave their lives for HIS WAR that they fell short? Somebody should remind him they didn’t fall short, the fell DEAD!

Hussein the Saudi tool has been arming the jihad.

His term has been marked by a spike of our warrior deaths in Afghanistan.

His aide de camp and ghostwriter Bill Ayers toasted Chavez in Caracas in 2006, "Viva la revolucion bolivariana" and now Chavez' bolivariana troops act as extensions of Castroismo sin Fidel.

"Gooks in the wire; it's a lovely war," was the Colonel's lament in Platoon (1988).

Treason never prospers
What's the reason
If it prospers
None dare call it treason

Behold the Islamo-Commie from Fake-istan, the taqiya closet queen riding the heroin trade to flexibility with Stalinophile Vlad

We here knew this was the road ahead in 2007

"So, you know, I think that, have we achieved everything that some might have imagined us achieving in the best of scenarios? Probably not."

Emphasis added to illustrate what an absolute JELLYFISH our pathetic president is! He can't even say outright that he fell short, he has to weasel-word it to sound like he accomplished everything he could, and that's plenty good enough. Anyone who thinks differently is part of some fringe that had wildly unrealistic expectations. Wipe his hands, move on to the next cocktail party to schmooze with Hollywood starlets, and forget about the whole thing.

Thanks Pride_of_the_Bluegrass.

Zero’s ROE, Zero’s Failures — but what he’s really talking about is his blaming US servicepeople for their murders by jihadist a-holes. He talks that way because he supports jihad, in particular, against the United States.

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

And my bet is that 2 years after the fact, the taliban will own the place, just like the North Viets did after we pulled out.

Maybe then the Afghani's will understand what we were trying to accomplish for them when they have to grow their beards and women are all ignorant and in burkas again.

Oh, come ON! zer0 the Bronco Bambi never makes a single mistake. Are you saying he’s NOT the messiah?

Nothing is ever his fault.

He’s never even seen “the buck” because he closes his eyes, and those of the presstitutes, as he passes it on to anyone but himself.

Why, he’s just ducky!
