I thought we were going to invade Pakistan.

[hippyhater]

Does Al Qaeda have a cell at the Whitehouse?

[chuck_the_tv_out]

One Big-Ass Mistake, America.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

He intends to pay tribute to the terrorists in an effort to buy them off.

[Enterprise]

Cut and run.

President Obama conceded today that the US was not winning the war in Afghanistan

Not content with talking down the economy, President Hope cast doubt on our mission in Afghanistan today...

[American in Israel]

Since the Military asked for troops, and he refuesed them we are not loosing the war with some rebels, HE is loosing the war with some rebels.

What a cowardly looser this Marxist, Muslim puke is.

You know, I prefered things when we were a Christian Nation. This new way sucks and is bearing some real bad fruit.

[TCats]

Great negotiating strategy! Announce we are losing the War and then offer to talk to the opponent.

Would love to sit across the Poker Table from these guys for a little while.

[Logical me]

King Obama is a pure nitwit. All a truce with the Taleban would be is giving them time to train and obtain more weapons. Then they will strike again.

Obama says US is losing war in Afghanistan and hints at Taleban talks

OMG, we're losing...let's surrender?;-)

[brushcop]

loosing=LOSING

[LS]

Utterly unbelievable. We had already won this. The resurgence in Afghanistan was caused by the escapees from Iraq who lost there. But since it's too late to declare defeat in Iraq, now he's going to declare defeat in Afghanistan???? The war he said to concentrate on???

[silverleaf]

To our Commander in Chief: Thank You Sir, may we have another?

When do those extra 17,00 men report to duty in your “losing” war?

Mullen said it was winnable. Bam doesnt want to.

[American in Israel]

He pointed to the success of peeling away Iraqi insurgents from al-Qaeda in Iraq, and said there may be “comparable opportunities” with the Taleban, although he warned that the situation there was “more complex” than in Iraq.

Oh, Iraq was only the strongest Arabic army in the strongest Muslim country, it was simple compared to a rag-tag army of backwoods rebels like the Taliban. Obama is a total whiner as well as a looser.

Oh, He inherited the mess he is making, Oh, the remains of the taliban is kicking his arse where a fully prepared and stocked army in Iraq was easy for Bush...

What a wannabee looser we have for a president now.

[Veto!]

What a crock. There are NO moderate Taliban members. Period.

Ibn ‘al 0bama is giving them back the country. Millions will be stoned to death, especially women who have made even one single little stride out of slavery.

Send them Michelle, Zer0.

[Jagman]

Talk down the economy. Talk down the military. For a guy with supposed “soaring oratory,” he sure talks down a lot.

[MindBender26]

If you remember Rule #1, everything else becomes very easy to understand:

Obama wants us to lose.

It’s that simple.

[jessduntno]

"emerged after a frenetic 48 hours of American diplomacy"

STOP! Enough with the "frenetic pace" already! Someone get these idiots a Cliif Note pamphlet on governing...Or a copy of The Politics of Prudence...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It was awful to hear the nonstop bleating from the Dems in Congress that we were losing in Iraq. Now we have to put up with the CIC bleating that we are “losing in Afghanistan”? There’s nothing like steely resolve and optimism to bolster the troops. For the CIC to do the exact opposite is sickening and disgraceful.
