It astonishes us how quickly Afghanistan is moving from being a "war of necessity" to "too tough to do." President Obama's comments over the weekend gave the clearest signal yet that his administration is seeking an exit strategy from a conflict he described in August as "not only a war worth fighting" but "fundamental to the defense of our people." Commitment to that fundamental defense is eroding.

Oh jeez...
Bummer to Hillary!: “Honduras fits pretty nicely under the bus. Can we cram Afghanistan down there too?”
Couple Million folks died when an agent of freedom left Vietnam. I wonder how many folks will die when we cut and run in Afghanistan. He is such a poor leader he cannot even fight the good war. LOL
Too big to fail.
Too tough to do.
Words to live by.
I will go anti-war myself if he doesnt fight to win. Go big (and smart) or go home. I dont want this jack*ss being commander-in-chief any longer if he isnt going to win this war.
What was all the crap in the campaign about how important Afghanistan was — more important then Iraq?
Obama is nothing but a COWARD who is afraid of his own shadow and makes friends with our enemies and disses our allies.
Is he afraid he might actually kill some Islamic Terrorist?
Otherwise, he should pull them out before they're slaughtered as a result of his ineptitude.
Good conclusion as any so far - why else the ROE keeping our soldiers from firing back when fired upon?
“We thought our civilian commanders were complete idiots , that did not have the least notion of what it took to win the war “ John McCain ‘ Faith of my Fathers ‘
Because he wants our conservative youth (volunteer forces) to die as cannon fodder?
Viva La France!
I was typing a reply and changed it when that popped in my mind that he doesn’t want to kill Islamist.
It hit me that he didn’t think twice of bombing in Pakistan at the beginning of his Administration. Did he start making the new rules of engagement after bowing to the Saudi King? I haven’t looked at the timeline but his attitude has shifted about 180 from being on the offensive to not really engaging the enemy if they go in any type of village.
That’s a good one!
Get it right or get out.
LIES!
Each and every day, and in every way, I'm coming more and more to suspect that 0 is using liberalism and marxism and the Cloward-Piven Strategy as a populist cover and a dastardly and conniving tool in a Machiavellian effort (sprung from the mind of Frank Marshall Davis?) to bring America to its knees via fascism (Are we becoming a fascist nation?) to ripen America for a complete islamic conquest of the country.
He wants to hear that "sweetest sound at sunset" blasted from speakers atop the White House and watch everyone in his administration stick their butts in the air five times a day on their official White House prayer mats.
Cloward-Piven Strategy, aka Cloven-Piven (which is it? I don't know):
The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Interesting - sounds like something to look into.
