I'm beginning to think Obama’s strategy was to pull out of Iraq and let it eventually deteriorate without the proper follow through. Taking away any gains from “Bush's War”. Then put us in Afghanistan knowing he wasn't committed and wouldn't back our troops with the ability to win. It appears like sabotage at this point with the ROE’s and total lack of objective or strategy.

And now he shows favoritism to the Talaban.

It IS happening in Iraq. The militias are reconstituting and the Iraqi Security forces spit on our guys and gals. They insult them. And they shun them as much as they can. Our Troops are isolated away from the citizens these days, only called upon by Iraq when they need heavy firepower. The Commanders in Iraq are LIVID at the way US Forces are being treated, but you don’t hear it. The silence is deafening.
And yes. It is intentional.

What changed Obama’s mind was when the columnist George Will called for a pull-out of American troops from Afghanistan.

Obama couldn’t sleep at night knowing he was to the right of George Will on any issue.

I think Will was wrong . . but it still is true that George Will’s article was quite influential in causing the present policy crisis.

I tend to agree, on surface at least. There is a lot of money in the sale of equipment to the US Govt. for the Afghani military. It is like a micro NATO being built. Will Obama leave all those brand new Russian helicopters behind? And why won’t he “Change” and have us set up U.S. production?
