Obama's liberal buddies are blocking a surge. This is from the blog at TheHill.com, the Briefing Room. "Nearly two dozen House liberals have signed onto a bill introduced this past week that would prohibit an increase of troops in Afghanistan. A bill introduced by Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) Thursday would bar funding to increase troop level in Afghanistan beyond its current level. Lee and 21 lawmakers, largely from the liberal Congressional Progressive Caucus..."
Do they really need a separate liberal caucus in the House? Aren't they all liberal socialist jerks? They need their own separate caucus? They introduced the bill, H.R. 3699 on Thursday. Who is this? Jones. "James Jones, the national security advisor vowed that the president's decision on troops wouldn't be swayed by politics." Wait 'til you hear the next story. James Jones said, "I don't play politics. I certainly don't play it with national security, neither does anyone I know. I can assure you that the president of the United States is not playing to any political base." Mmm-hmm. Right. And here's the next story from the UK Telegraph. You would not expect to see this here in the US State-Controlled Media.
"According to sources close to the administration, General Stanley McChrystal shocked and angered presidential advisors with the bluntness of a speech given in London last week." Ohhhhh! So that 25-minute meeting aboard Air Force One was a dressing down! Obama flew all the way across the world to yell at his general. That's another thing I predicted: Hey, he was really there to talk to McChrystal. The Olympic thing was an afterthought. "The next day McChrystal was summoned to an awkward 25-minute face-to-face meeting on board Air Force One on the tarmac in Copenhagen, where the president had arrived to tout Chicago's unsuccessful Olympic bid."

I laughed so hard I almost choked when Rush said General McChrystal “...is a genuine general, and General Biden, is a general buffoon”
Here, Here, Biden served in Vietnam...sorry it was the other doofus wasn’t it lol...
If they’re blocking the surge then the troops need to come home then. No use letting them be sitting ducks for the Taliban.
Worst and most insulting is that everyone knows it; and yet; still they want us to consider/weigh the merits of Biden's military plan versus that of General McCrystal. . .
'Stand up Joe'. . .wherever you are. . .

“”James Jones, the national security advisor vowed that the president’s decision on troops wouldn’t be swayed by politics.” “
And his politics won’t be swayed by the need for troops. He’s a Muslin Communist and a cancer on America!
Biden is the true General Disarray.
. . .and a bump for thread. . .
====> 
Didn’t we have another failed Rat presidential candidate that served in Vietnam?
Congressional Progressive Caucus— Spell— Congressional Communist Caucus
Another example of the truth hating dims—refusing to even admit who they really are.
You know, come to think of it, after viewing that pic with the two MUSLIMS side by side, I think ellison must only be about 5’5” or 5’6”. Man, what a blow to your karma, ya know? The rest of “da Brothas” wont be like’n dat! You know what they say, short is stature, short in..., well, you go ahead and finish it.
“If they’re blocking the surge then the troops need to come home then. No use letting them be sitting ducks for the Taliban.”
Amen!
“If he lets Biden run this, if he doesn’t listen to the general whose job it is to win these things, if he’s not going to listen to him, then it’s not just the women in Afghanistan who are going to be losers. The whole country will be losers, but the people that worked with us are certainly dead, if we pull out of there.” (Rush)
And no nation anywhere will side with the Americans again.
That’s probably why we’re having such difficulty getting the Afghans to cooperate with us - they know what happened to the Vietnamese who cooperated with us when we pulled out.
There's are real frickin' braintrust.....
I'll bet everyone on that list had a poor childhood.
The liberals score a "twofer", they get to "dis" our military and give our NATO allies the "green weenie" at the same time. Meanwhile, the Taliban just walks in and erases nine years of hard fought progress toward a better life for Afghan citizens.
