Joe Bidens observations;
Biden wasn’t always defending Obama...

On Aug. 1, 2007, when Obama unveiled his counterterrorism agenda, the Biden camp fired off a snarky email congratulating him for his “Johnny-come-lately position” on Afghanistan, noting that during two Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afghanistan and other subjects, Obama didn’t ask questions about the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Afghanistan.
I imagine Obama perhaps factoring in Biden’s opinion here only because it matches his own.
Another delay on an issue that needs a fast response. Yet he will sign whatever healthcare bill appears without a second thought.
"Ga-hyuck, where'm I gonna fly and have lunch ta-day? ga-hyuck."
I hear when “The He” gets back, “The He” and she bee Michelle are going for another “First” for any president. “The He” and “She Bee Michelle” will be partners and will be practicing their own “Chicago Two Steps” to be presented on “American Idol” and “Dancing With The Gods” shortly before “The He” makes his final “final” decision regarding Afghanistan.
Putin has volunteered to run the United States until after the shows are completed. Putin promised to give back the country to “The He”, much in the same manner he gave turned over the reins of power to Dmitry Medvedev.
They can’t decide which white flag to use. Some of them insist on white flags produced by union workers, the more fiscally conscious say they can get a good deal on used white flags from the French. Yet still others want to stay the course, hang in there until they can fidn a convincing way to pin the failure on Bush.
What we can't do is protect our troops from the CIC. If 0bama won't LEAD, there is little we can do. How many of our sons, daughters, fathers, and mothers must die before 0bama makes the most important decision he has to make in the Oval Office. 0bama must decide to pick up and wear the Uniform of the United States of America as the Commander in Chief.
I suspect he can't and won't. He has never served. His ilk have no respect for the military complex of the United States. His preconceptions are the same as those who think our volunteer troops lack some level of intelligence. He will sit in conference with the brightest of the military and is unable to understand the strategy, the hazards, the real dangers. Worst of all he fails to value the opinion of real warriors.
Signing the order to close Gitmo was easy for 0bama. Now, though, Afghanistan, he has to decide he will lead troops, our troops either to victory or out of Afghanistan. I submit he is unfit for the duty.
