Obama puts his personal political well being ahead of the lives of US soldiers with his politicized Afghanistan War policies!! An Obama administration official admitted to the press that Obamas Afghan War Strategy driven by politics and not what is best militarily. Obamas first priority in making war in Afghanistan is his own political well being! "White House concerned it only has a year to turn around Afghanistan and Pakistan before US public support wanes. An official said yesterday that Obama's planners thought they had about 12 months to show measurable progress in Afghanistan before public support would wane and the policy turn into a Democratic-Republican political issue.

Obama knows his ultra-leftist (Im being kind in the use of that term) will not sit well with the American people. Already there is a growing sense of his extremist views and his falling poll numbers show it.
However he is not above gambling the lives of American military in the vain hope of salvaging his presidency by capturing and/or killing Osama Bin Laden. This, the papers will proclaim, is something GWB didnt do. Yes, on that sad day, the Zero will be the eternal hero in the WOT.
Welcome to my nightmare.
You heard it here first.

Do we stop supporting our troops and hoping for their missions to be successful when we dislike the commander-in-chief? I don’t think conservatives should have the same attitude towards the war in Afghanistan under Obama that Democrats had toward Iraq under Bush.
To: TomGuy
Yes, bo is back to using the teleprompter. And hillary’s head bobbing in the background.
Back and forth... up and down....
dang!!

Giving $1,500,000,000.00 to Pahkeestahn is a "down payment" on our security.
New deployment of 17,000 troops to function in SE (nowhere near Tora Bora).
He is following the early sixties VN model of training and advising.
"Dramatic increase in our civilian effort"...Who? Blackwater? State Department? Wackenhut?

Freepers are finally realizing that you can support the troops but not the mission.
