Gilpin, a Democrat, said he's been satisfied with the president's efforts to this point.

"So far, so good," he said. "But I back up my leaders 100 percent."

Right. Any Marines out there that think different?

But as the president was considering withdrawal from Iraq, he recently announced plans to deploy an additional 8,000 Lejeune Marines to Afghanistan,

He's very good at what he does.
nothing up his sleeve...

Their new role will be to come back to the US and be social workers.

“Whiteman is a die-hard Republican but likes President Obama”.

...either Whiteman is a bonehead or the writer is a liar.

Zero just said: “We will work with the United Nations”.

What the hell for?

[lakeman]

A base spokesman said there would be little fanfare for the event. A single American flag has been draped in the field house where Obama will speak.

That will tick off Obama.

I could be mistaken, but the Commander in Chief telling the Marines their mission is to retreat sounds like a mistake to me.

(Marine Sgt.) Whiteman is a die-hard Republican but likes President Obama.

Why am I not surprised? If Marine Sgt. Whiteman's HEAD would have been too large to fit in the Corps' tiny JAR he might have had brains enough to be a Sailor and then would have realized what President Obama intends for the military.

That statement caught my attention as well.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Now he’s saying Iraq is the center of civilization?....King Zero speaks and the world flips him off!

“But I back up my leaders 100 percent.”

There’s quite a few I’d like to see backed up to a wall, body searched, handcuffed, put in the back of a police car. . .

Pfc. Matthew Gilpin is an imbecile ... what’s he doing in the Marines

[Redleg Duke]

Yes, the US Marines new role will be in house-to-house search and confiscation of privately owned firearms, knives and patriotic DVDs.

Houses without Ispiring Portraits of "The One" will be burned as a warning. Survivors will be shot.

...either Whiteman is a bonejarhead ... There fixed it!

[Old Professer]

Easy on the redundancy...

Squids, ya hate them but can't get to the war without them. Corpsmen excluded.

[NoMarxist2010]

Obama to Marines: "You new job is not to fight terrorists of MUSLIM FAITH. We want them to love us. Your new JOB is to FIGHT CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS in the USA."

MARINES: "HELL NO you SOCIALIST JERK!!"

[verity]

Have you any idea what quotation marks signify?

Right-o-tight there, Sgt. Stryker...it really takes a lot more gray matter to charge up a fortified hill with a M-16 than to sit back and pound that hill into dust with a 16-inch naval gun doesn't it?
