Ditto. Bump.
Stop the dithering.
ZERO SHOULD BE IMPEACHED FOR VIOLATING HIS OATH OF OFFICE. HE IS NOT PROTECTING US FROM ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. OUR SOLDIERS AND OUR ALLIES SOLDIERS ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED WHILE HE GOES ON DATES WITH THE FIRST HAG!!!! And, yes I’m shouting!!
Everywhere, dithering seems to be the word of the day..
This makes me BEYOND sick. Either PULL THEM OUT.....or FIGHT, dammit! I think Zero and Brown WANT our boys and girls to be slaughtered and claim a loss. That would gratify the left-wing base. Then they can lay the blame on Bush. That’s all they’re about. Laying it on Bush.......using our troops.
It doesn't look like our elected officials will.
So.....Barry is pissing off our allies and reducing America’s image in the world, and is still blaming Bush for the very same thing? Bizzarroo World indeed!
Her son was in Iraq (military intelligence)
Her first words to me where,

When the Defence Secretary asked the frontline soldier what he needed most, he quickly replied: ‘More troops on the ground.’
His stark statement left Mr Ainsworth on the back foot, as he tried to justify delays in responding to calls for reinforcements from the top Nato General in Afghanistan, America’s Stanley McChrystal.
Mr Ainsworth acknowledged the need but said the Government could not ‘throw money’ at Afghanistan, adding: ‘We know that there is an ask for increased troop levels coming from General McChrystal. Yet it is very important that people recognise that we are not alone in this.
‘We cannot do it alone. It’s got to be a coalition effort. We have got to think how quickly we do it. It takes time.’
After the encounter, Staff Sergeant Hughes, 30, was unrepentant. He is a member of the Joint Forces Explosives Ordnance Device Group which has the job of dismantling Taliban bombs.
He said: ‘What was he going do, send me home? It’s been a ridiculously busy, ridiculously hard tour. We have lost two guys.
‘Clearly more troops are needed on the ground - but then the same could be said for equipment.’
Staff Sergeant Hughes, from Shropshire, added: ‘The teams are stretched. Ideally you would have more equipment and more troops - that would help a lot.’
This is an absolute disgrace to ask brave soldiers to sacrifice themselves while politicians sit at home with thumbs up their asses unable to make decisions or give them what they need.
SNIP
British troops complain that they can take ground from the Taliban but do not have enough men to hold it. They have to keep retaking areas over and over again, increasing the risk of casualties.
Obama, in my mind, is the worst American commander in chief ever.
Obama fiddles while Afganistan burns.
