Obama: US soldiers in Afganistan so poorly equipped they use Taliban equiment.
Posted on 02/22/2008 6:20:46 AM PST by HD1200
Tuned into the debate last night and this idiot Obama proved again does not have a clue.
He made the statement that US platoons are going short manned to Afganistan because a portion of them are being sent to Iraq. Then he said our soldiers in Afganistan are so poorly equipped they are using captured Taliban munitions!
I can guarantee you if this was the case the media would have been all over it months or years ago. Who is going to challenge him on this?

But but I thought that tapdancer Obama wants all the troops removed from the ME???
What better way than to stop giving them weapons.
Is this guy for real - and running for President?
Gimme a break.

I’m sure some of our forces are using Taliban weapons - specifically, Special Warfare types. When you use the same weapon as your enemy, you can’t be identified by the report of your weapon.
This does not change the fact that Barack Obama is an idiot.

One of the goals of war is to capture the enemies supplies, munitions. This guy is an idiot.

This is so much crap. When I went to Afghanistan, everything I had from body Armour to my M-16 was brand new. Furthermore, everyone I ever met was fully equipped. The only thing people bought on their own was the occasional after market accessory such as a combat sling. If some Spec Ops guys are occasionally using an AK, it is because they want to, not because they have to.
Apparently neither Obama or his wife have any advisers to keep them from saying something stupid when they deviate from the script.

No big McCain fan here......but no question our troops would be better served with McCain as Commander In chief than nitwits Obama or Clinton.

No, he wants to withdraw from the middle east,
hold summits with jihadists,
meet with Imanutjob,
and invade our only Islamic “ally” in the war on terror.
The reason that the left is so adamant about Afghanistan/Pakistan and “getting Bin Ladin” is that they are still in the “prosecute the criminal” mindset instead of “worldwide terror war” mindset.
Once we “get Bin Ladin”, they’ll call it “even” and “justice served” for 9/11 and go back to the 9/10 mindset where their biggest concern was validating their narcissist/hedonist lifestyles.

I hear the Taliban Chinooks are especially prized. Dingle berries over the cockpit windows, plush red carpet through out, wood panel doors.
