Yes but this has the ulterior motive to demoralize the military and to keep everyone off balance. Just another day and another few outrageous issues by obozon and company.

There we go. Be a typical democrat, Cut and run, then watch the people die. Its okay you know because the MSM won’t cover all the deaths as a result, they just won’t report it.

No big deal. Good, lets go home and pretend it never happened and tell ourselves how great we are and how much we care about folks.

Leftist thinking is so easy, no remorse and all.

While this might please the left wing loons of the Democratic party, Barry's credibility should be shot as during the campaign he kept harping that Bush had dropped the ball and Afghanistan is were we should be fighting etc. Thank God we did not have this kind of Presidential leadership in the past as we would have withdrawn Union troops from combat after Bull Run and capitulated to the Japanese after Guadalcanal.

So all the comments Obama made during the campaign about the Afghan War were an absolute lie. Susan Rice (Obama’s UN Ambassador) was his chief foreign policy adviser during his run for the WH, both he and she proclaimed countless times during the campaign that the real war on terror was in Afghanistan and not Iraq. So now that things are getting tough Obama is going to run away like a coward. Pathetic.

“Among the many, many unforced errors made by Obama since Jan 20, this has the be the biggest and the worst.”

I disagree... If he does not want victory anyway, and he has said that, the best thing for us to do is not have any more of our men killed.

I don’t think they care much about politics. I think it is about speed of destruction. They will be political if they think they can’t act quickly enough to implement. Beyond that, BO doesn’t care about being reelected.

There are some other reports as well that Obama is asking networks to clear October 5th for a prime time press conference. Isn’t that when the Supreme Court goes back in session?

Something is up.

What can any rational thinking person say about this pile of bovine crap?????
Why doesn't the idiot in the white house just tell the world that we will open our doors and let everyone who wants to come here and kill our people???
This gesture will be interrupted in exactly that manner by a big part of the world. It will tell them we are weak. It will tell them that we don't have the heart to stand up for what is right and just.
I had the opinion that Obama couldn't do that much damage to our national security in 4 years. This crap made me remember Carter and how badly he devastated our military and intelligence interests in his four years of pretending to be president.
I can only hope there is another Reagan waiting in the wings.
I'm about to join the “Birthers.” Anything to get this stupid moron out of the white house.
