1. Mr. President: What's the exit strategy for Afghan?

2. When are the next peace demonstrations?

3. When will code punk call for impeachment since we have escalated the war?

Let’s see, we’re still in Iraq? Check. We’re still in Afghanistan? Check. We’re still in Gitmo? Check.

Add to that about 3 mil. unemployeed, businesses cratering, taxes rising, on and on.

So how’s all that change workin’ for you Obamamorons?

Obama is incapable of being anything other than a failure. He doesn't have a clue as to economics or warfare. He wasn't elected because he knew anything, he was elected because of was black. It was a combination of white guilt, black support, and lies.

Victory is not an option, or a benchmark.

Amazing how little news we hear about either of the wars. During the last administration, we saw protests and had daily body count reports. If I didn’t know better, I’d think we weren’t at war anymore.

It’s such a good thing Lincoln had such great “benchmarks” at Antietam.

How about US casualties?

Medals?

Successes?

Oh, no. A Democrat has given us a guagmire in a foreign war.

Shock there!

He has yet to publish a National Security Strategy.

I don’t think he can, with his beliefs.

Hate to say it FRiends, get the troops out now.

Why die for Obama? He says the WOT is over, so we must have lost.

Our allies are going to pull out soon. Just wait.

Perhaps Junior can call Robert MacNamara back from the grave. After all, he was the king of the “Best and Brightest” from 40-45 years ago who set up the inside the beltway measurements of success. Then they fudged the the Vietnamese political and military scoring in order to paint a rosy picture of them, followed by the dim view of our own troops performance and chances of success. NEVER, EVER, TRUST YOUR NATIONAL SECURITY, ECONOMY OR SOVERNTY TO THE DEMOCRATS. THE RECORD OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.

Well... during the debates he promised to capture Osama. Why doesn’t he pull that off to show GWB how it’s done?

I'm 67, my Dad told me exactly that but at the time they hadn't been in power that long but he sure knew the track record of FDR. Then the family (like many families) ended up in ferrin' places fightin' ferriners.

He also taught be about the fifth columnists and I'm reminded of Ayn Rand's, "To All Innocent Fifth Columnists", now THAT is worth the read. When you read it, remember that it was written in 1941.

I think all FReepers should read it, it sure seems to fit what's happening now.

So let’s say he does come up with 20 benchmarks and actually succeeds on 19 of them. Because there’s one left, he’s a failure. Same standard as applied to Bush.
