I wonder where the antiwar demonstrations went?
I thought things were going pretty well in Afghanistan... at least up until just about 7 months or so ago... what changed???
Oh...wait...
Nevermind. Praying for our troops.
That is a good question. But ya know the saying by the moonbats: “it’s only an evil war if a Republican is president”.
Or, 'it's only an evil war if America is winning it.'
They're busy attacking senior citizens who ask questions about Obamacare.
What happened to General Petraeus? I thought he was in charge of Afghanistan now?
I thought the magic negro was going to focus on winning?
“Taliban Now Winning... Quagmire” = Obama Mission Accomplished.
Beware of hyped reporting, even from the Wall Street Journal. A sidebar article said that Taliban Attack Afghan Town.
Eight Taliban on a suicide mission took over a building in a lightly guarded little town and they were wiped out after killing three Afghanis.
Watch to see if this is made into the Viet Cong attack on the US Embassy during Tet 1968. The VC never got into the embassy despite poor reporting that they had, and all 8-11 got killed for their troubles.
However, you would have thought that the Alamo had fallen again if you read the press in the US.
See Don Oberdorfer’s “TET” and Peter Braestrap’s “The Big Story” for the truth.
The Failed Democratic Party© and The Failed Obama Administration© are clueless of history. They and their media hacks led folks to believe that Iraq was a mistake and the real threat was Afghanistan. How very wrong they were (as usual). These deaths are the fault of Obama and the Democrats. Period...
Defeat rescued from the jaws of victory?
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the U.S. commander, is making protection of civilians a priority over hunting Taliban rebels.
Is somebody freaking kidding me?
Well gee, what a frickin’ surprise.
I guess this is what happens when our troops are ordered NOT to shoot.
just SWAT the Taliban
They are NOT winning ....we are kicking the snot out of them in Helmand
Where? Detroit, maybe?
He drastically restricted the rules of engagement so as to offer the enemy cover anywhere near civilian populations, and has pretty much banned pursuit, or the security check of women.
So, they fire on our troops or plant IEDs, many times from civilian areas or afterwards running for the civilian areas to avoid pursuit, and then dress as women in full burkha covering and simply walk past our forces in groups of women to escape.
And of course, they are terrorists, so they are civilians living in civilian areas in the first place. So by banning so-called civilian areas for military operations, Obama has literally banned our troops from the battlefield, while simultaniously requiring them to remain in a position where they can be constantly targeted by the enemy.
