Well I guess the deaths of American citizens is just not worth it. You know why bother having a military. Our government failed to keep us safe. Why do I bother paying taxes. Sad day for a failing country.

IF President Obama withdrawns from Afghanistan; to say the very least — he would be today’s TOTAL IDIOT award winner. Time will tell if he takes this prize.

Agreed, but they seem to be thinking they will be reaping big benefits by keeping hands off of obozo. News flash for them, they only matter until the total takeover.

Apparently this is not breaking news on Fox. They don’t even mention it on their main page. Can anyone verify this?

This will plague us for decades, just as Carter’s letting Islam take over Iran.

No freaking way......they aren't that stupid.

Are they?

No. Not to do it outright like this, no. What I think is that 0bama's people are trying to shift responsibility for the conduct of the war to the military who have been tasked to come up with the parameters. He needs an out, Bush isn't available, and he can always say later, "well, they lied to me."

It would, OTOH, make a grand international splash, and 0bama's a glamor boy who lives by them. But I think the obvious consequences could not be avoided even with all the pundits MSNBC and CNN could throw at the job. Given 0bama's intense risk-aversion in Iraq I have to conclude that no, they won't suddenly withdraw. But I have been wrong before.

THE BRIEFING ROOM

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary
___________________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release September 21, 2009

NOTICE
- - - - - - -

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO PERSONS
WHO COMMIT, THREATEN TO COMMIT, OR SUPPORT TERRORISM

On September 23, 2001, by Executive Order 13224, the President declared a national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706). The President took this action to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by the grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists, including the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York and Pennsylvania and against the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks against United States nationals or the United States. Because the actions of persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States, the national emergency declared on September 23, 2001, and the measures adopted on that date to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond September 23, 2009. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

BARACK OBAMA

THE WHITE HOUSE,
September 21, 2009.

TY if you heard it did she say they want to do it, are going to do it, or are considering this?

Even asking for the contingency plan and letting that leak would be a terrible blunder.

Didn’t Obama tell us Afghanistan was the just war during the election?

Obana thinks that the Taliban will be a good alternative governance, compared to democracy "imposed" by US Iperialism.

Obathing is one sick libtard.

George Bush liberated millions of Iraqis and Afghanis. Obama will enslave them. That does not bode well for we Americans here at home. Its not rocket science to see what the Opretender has in store for us.
