I laughed so hard I almost choked when Rush said General McChrystal “...is a genuine general, and General Biden, is a general buffoon”

If they’re blocking the surge then the troops need to come home then. No use letting them be sitting ducks for the Taliban.

“”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!

[subterfuge]

Biden is the true General Disarray.

[cricket]

As for the summons; hope the General made it clear to Obama that he will lead; with - or without - him. Perhaps, Obama will pay more attention to our military, from now on. Granted, it requires a bit a pretense on his behalf as we know; like all on the Left; that Obama hates our Military; but then, unlike the others of this political ilk; he happens to be their Commander-in-Chief.

Congressional Progressive Caucus— Spell— Congressional Communist Caucus
Another example of the truth hating dims—refusing to even admit who they really are.

[RoadTest]

“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.....

[linn37]

GIBBS: No. I think that the president believes strongly that we have a process that is working, that we ought to take the time to get this right. As you heard Secretary Gates say, it has been since sometime in the mid-eighties since we actually had a strategy to deal with Afghanistan.

HUH??
