PRESSER NOW: BHO More civilians on the ground in Afghanistan (brilliant!). Emphasize training. (they will learn from U.S. and shoot us in the back).

Unbelievable! This isn't change - it's going to be a wholesale slaughter of Americans.

I will never stop supporting our Troops.

I will, however, continue pointing out any fallacies in B HO’s “contigency plans” for them.

Since he plans on sending in more Troops, along with doubling civilians, I will remind the liberals of all the calls of our Troops are over taxed and “broken,” so how is it they are now refreshed enough to follow this?

I will also point out similarities between any policy of his and Bush’s.

I want terrorism defeated, but B HO’s call for all this extra funding, including domestic policies, are a pipe dream bankrupting our country.

Then again, we can remind Rangel of his calls for reinstituting the draft.

B HO says the world must help out in Afghanistan. We’ll see how they respond to that.

More civilians in Afghanistan. Who protects them? I see a slaughter ahead. He hates his fellow Americans.

I wonder how many in the State Department and USAID will refuse to go?

Oh right! This is not Bush proposing this!

Yes, bo is back to using the teleprompter. And hillary’s head bobbing in the background. Back and forth... up and down....

It's like animation on a Disney ride. Obamatronics.

What a joke. Stumbling over the lines on the prompter. Gates looks very concerned and hillary all bobble head. “Pokeston” “Tolybon” “more muslims killed”...UGH!!!

The O asks Congress to approve $1.5 Billion to Pakistan, yearly, for the next 5 years.

Oh sure. Make all the taxpayers "sacrifice" for the emperor Obomas goals - a few billion, trillion, gazillion, or whatever.
What's a trillion dollar spending spree here or there, anyway? On top of that, why not rebuild Pakistan's economy? Heck, rebuild the entire globes economy! Spread the wealth around.
The American tax slaves will continue to do as they're told - like they always do. Why worry?

“Yup, and Hill’s head bobbing is distracting!”

I was in a class a few weeks ago. The gal seated in front of me kept bobbing her head every time the instructor uttered a statement. That went on for two hours.

It was so distracting, I wanted to pull her hair and smack her head.

However he is not above gambling the lives of American military in the vain hope of salvaging his presidency

The left LOATHS the military anyway. Right now, he's scrambling for a distraction (that the American people will get behind) to hide his total screw up on the economy and his massive Stalinist power grabs.

The totalitarian take over by the left is suppose to happen without the American people noticing. Once they notice, the movement gets sent back by generations. Oboma has exposed them by moving it forward too fast. The American people have noticed. Quick! Create a distraction! The American people aren't suppose to be noticing their loss of freedoms like this. They're resisting!

Seems those thugs in those countries now know how to highjack us for money, they must have took lessons from Sharpton and Jackson.

Send them more money, that's it, that will solve the problem, um huh.

Blow the infrastructure up, no problem, we will send you more money to rebuild.

What was the DEMS kept saying, something like "All that money being spent in BUSHs war, and we need things at home".

Shoe's on the other foot now, bomb the damn place, THEN start over.

I cannot think of a single policy of Obama’s that I support, but if he can stabilize Afghanistan the way that Bush stabilized Iraq I think that would be a good thing.

I’m not saying he’s doing the right thing, for the right reason, or that I am not having the wool pulled over my eyes somehow.

I look primarily at the policies being proposed more than who is proposing them, to decide what I think.

IF I end up agreeing with Obama on this, it will indeed be a first.

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

Bull. What they are doing is supporting the troops, supporting the mission - that was in place for 8 years now - and totally condemming everything that the keyan does.

See the difference yet?

This dolt still said during the campaign he would not support the surge even knowing it succeeded. Now he has a surge in Afghanistan based on the same principles that he tried to vote down for Iraq. What a pud.
