The Biden Plan.
Biden our time to ensure defeat.
What the hell?
Obama has no policy for Afghanistan.
Obama has yet to publish his National Security Strategy required by Goldwater/Nichols.
Its no wonder the confusion exists. The State Dept has different goals than the U.S. Military and the CIA and the FBI. The JCOS and the heads of each service are unclear of our policies.
Afghanistan, Honduras, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Brazil, Poland, Czech Republic, Russia, China, ROK, Taiwan, Israel, Japan and Columbia all know there is confusion and no common goal.
I was wondering about that too.
Huh? What kind of sense does that make?
Actually, I didn’t know Chia Plugs had another name.
"Who writes this shit?"
Sounds like a plan to lose at best, retreat at worst.
I don’t like the war in Afghanistan, but losing it would be a disaster....as bad if not worse than losing in Iraq.
If the Taliban gain control of Afghanistan, I’m sure they will eventually take Pakistan. Then we would have a terrorist state armed with nuclear weapons. I think we should at least give the General his troops, get rid of the ridiculous rules of engagement, and get down to the business of breaking things and killing people. Lets win this thing! A bunch of cavemen aren’t better than our armed forces.
Gibberish. Its clear why Obama chose Biden; they speak the same language.
This is Standard SOP for a Democrat Administration.
Confusion and chaos is a way of life. How else to ensure you plan will work.
It’s all they know and the only way they know.
They have no plan (except to destroy the country) and it is replayed with each and every election.
Just a different face at the top.
No clear policies have been issued in regard to the US Military.
Are we to follow the current policies set forth in 2002, 2006, or something not published?

Obamas Current Page.
On Mar 27 the haloed one with Gates and Clinton at his side announced that strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan had been decided and would be implemented. Now we are told that strategy is under development. What’s been happening the last seven months. (thanks to Charles Krauthammer for revealing this bit of Obama’s verbal gymnastics)
I read awhile back that our military isn’t to engage any targets in Afghanistan if civilians could be killed. Something to that affect anyway.
“Uhh...I vote “Not Present” (That doesn’t count against me , right?)
That was from a memo from the White House
He has not published any strategy or official policy in regard to military actions.
He has been in office for 8 months. He is required to publish a National Security Strategy for the United States by the Goldwater Nichols act.
He has had 8 months.
Exactly.
You can sum up Zero’s National Security Strategy in two words.....
TO LOSE.
