Gee, I hope the Obamas really enjoyed their evening out.
You bet the white/black house is manageing the war aka Vietnam and Lyndon Johnson.
Reflecting on the Leftist MSM during the Bush years, and their daily count of the dead and maimed in Iraq.
Wondering where those Transylvanian’s are today that we get the count from abroad?
The Taliban were probably desperate top get a big attack in before the winter.
We should counter immediately. Throw everything we got - all over the place.
That is my question and my hope. You can't put men out there in small numbers in isolated outposts unless you are going to give them prompt and effective air support.

Our guys are warning us. This is another 'Vietnam' if we don't put the resources and Rules of Engagement into place to allow them to fight!
It's time to BRING THEM HOME - if we are not willing to do it RIGHT!!!!
Dat long legged mack daddy ain’t got no time for a bunch of dead Americans killed in Afghanistan. He be jetting to Denmark, dining in Georgetown, and he ain’t got no time to discuss the Afgan situation. It be the mack daddy’s war, and he can pull the troops out... as he promised prior to the election. This be a waste of American lives, pure and simple.
I wonder if a strong statement of power by the C-in-C would have staved off this attack?
I guess we'll never know. Now what does Obama think of posting pictures of the coffins as they arrive home?
(Newser) – Back when George W. Bush was president, the media made a big fuss about the administration’s refusal to allow the press to photograph soldiers’ coffins, saying it hid the true cost of the war. President Obama lifted the ban in April, and the media flocked to snap shots of that first returning coffin. And then? Then they swiftly lost interest, notes Byron York of the Washington Examiner. From here.
For once, try running this Country instead of trying to rule the world. This is out of control.
Prayers for these and all our fallen heroes!
POTUS deigned to give Gen. McChrystal just twenty-five minutes of his oh-so-valuable time, on Air Force One, yet. What a jerk!
We know what an arrogant SOB he is. But is Obama so stupid as to risk losing the war in Afghanistan on his own watch? Is he!!?
If Obama doesn’t commit to those 40,000 additional troops, Gen. McChrystal should resign NOW.
Obama doesn’t give a damn about how many American military are killed. He is content to let them wither while he dithers. After all, few of them will vote for him. That’s why he wants those illegal aliens made citizens. They will vote for him.
20 million illegal aliens are more important than 2 million soldiers.
RIP.
Obama’s fault!
Obama’s plan: Let things deteriorate to the point that a majority of Americans are clamoring for withdrawal, then blame Bush and announce a withdrawal.
“It’s what the people wanted” will be his plea.
I’m willing to bet the new ROE’s have stopped the hearts of some of these soldiers....gads and I never bet, I need to pray more, we all do.
Obama has yet to publish a National Security Strategy as required by Goldwater/Nichols. The US Military is rudderless all over, not just in Afghanistan.
