I guess deaths by º are okay.
Another prophecy from Guru Joe! Obama is going to be tested within 6 months and more troops are going to war. From the anti-war party, the Obama “give peace a chance”, let’s try diplomacy administration.
You also "inherited" the best military in the world Joe! Suck it up and let the military do their job and just stay out of their way.
Might just be me reading into it, but that sounds condescending and dismissive of American lives.
Asked if this would lead to more losses of U.S. soldiers, Biden said: “I hate to say it, but yes I think there will be. There will be an uptick.”
Oh please.
They got their asses handed to them on a platter.
The US kicked major ass, defeated them in open battle, and drove the survivors to scurry off and skulk in the tribal areas.
Now hussein and co want to move in major troop strength to really do very little at all.
Until Afghanistan can pull itself together - and I hope that it has been - another 50,000 troops will do what?
I'm a hawk, I know that there are remants of these human wastage scattered about the country, but the key here is Pakistan, and they are going to be a problem for a very long time, if not forever.
After all, it was the Pakistan military who essentially created the taliban.
That Joe, he's a real military genius.
There is absolutely no geographical significance to Afghanistan. It is a dead-end country where Obama wants to waste our assets. Actually, it will pin our troops in, and will endanger them. This it what Biden was talking about, “in the first six months, we will be tested and it may not appear to be the right thing.”
These people are freaky. I'm sick of them already.
Keep talkin’, Joe! You didn’t get the VP slot (or Secretary of State offer) fer yer brains.
(Biden ~ Delaware ~ Sinclair) Shhhh!

6. Acts intended to denigrate the religion, religious practices, or religious objects of the individual will not be tolerated.
Does that sound like a strong departure from the Bush Administration’s Interpretation of the Geneva Conventions Common Article 3 as Applied to a Program of Detention and Interrogation Operated by the Central Intelligence Agency?
It’s not. It IS the Bush Administration’s 2007 Executive Order 13440.
Just what the families of service members need to hear. Idiot Joe.
“We’ve inherited a real mess,”
Thye will be saying this for the next four years whenever anyone dares question the success of anything they do.
Where’s Cindy Shehag?? Quagmire alert!
Pray for America, Our Troops and Ocoward’s Guidance
I hope Scary Reid and those like him do not get wind of this!
Scary will say we lost and we need to pull out.
Hey, Joe -
Any chance you, Rahm, and the POTUS Mutt have talked about how the United States can achieve VICTORY in Afghanistan?
The people you work for would like to know, Capisce?
But the communists over here and the main stream media will be quite as church mice about it.
