WTF is obama thinking? We were pounding the {expletive} out of AQ and the Taliban, had driven them into the hills as a non-factor. Now he wants to surrender a Country to them? I've got friends over there in both sandboxes. I myself have volunteered to go twice on two different security related projects. There is no reason to surrender except for the gutless socialist obama doesn't know what he is doing, and is just smart enough to know he doesn't know. But rather than take the advice of professional military strategists, he wants to surrender.
Obama has delayed making his decision such that it most likely will not be announced until the end of November, three months into the twelve month window left to win the war Gen. McChrystal stated in August...
He wants to delay his surrender until after the current election cycle. I think the 'rats are going to get pounded anyway. But maybe he is just trying to keep the races close. Yes, I believe he is letting soldiers fight and die while he delays based on politics.
Troop casualties in Afghanistan have skyrocketed in the past three months...
Absolutely no surprise there, given the ridiculous ROE our soldiers have thanks to obama's gutlessness and desire to look nice to the world's socialists.

I can’t say how I feel right now because to do so would get me the boot on this forum......Dear Lord, protect us from what this man can and will try to do in the next 3 years and give us level-headed, common sense people in the Congress next year. Have mercy on us Lord.......
Absolutely. He has no right whatsoever to claim the CIC title any more. He should resign in gutless disgrace but he doesn't even have the ... to own up to his mistakes and shortcomings - which are many and grave. He is the sorriest excuse for a man I've seen in a leadership position in a long long time. He is without a doubt the worst President our great Nation has ever been saddled with.
The Taliban and al-Q will then have free reign to spread across the world...because, never again, will any country or peoples dare to trust in the US to save/protect them...
They will remember Viet Nam, they will remember Cambodia, they will remember the Kurds after the Gulf War - and if we also desert the Afghans...that's the end.
All will know they are only safe so long as we don't have the democrats in charge...and since we have elections every 4 years - that will be a gamble no one will ever dare take again.
It's a sobering thought to remember we have a president who said that the Muslim call to prayer is the most beautiful sound on earth - and repeated it in perfect accent.
I submit to you that anyone who could still repeat this in perfection today has done so much longer than childhood. Listen and judge for yourself... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuXxtg4M_z8 ...This is a man who does not want to salute our flag.
It sobering to hear the president of this country state: “WE are no longer a Christian Nation...”
He says we are one of the largest Muslim nations in the world -

(77% Christian to .6% Muslim makes us one of the largest Muslim countries?)
Listen to this video all the way through and if you can say this man is a Christian, well - I hadn't heard this one before - I;d like to see this one in the media...Maybe Hannity? email him?
As did the British.
There. I fixed it.
What's to settle. They get to saw off our heads now, or over the next couple of decades?
I'll do my negotiating with 7.62x51, 5.56x41 and .45 ACP, thank you very much.
Who was it that was just over there talking with them? Yep, John Kerry (who served in Vietnam and while still in uniform went to Paris to talk with the enemy to make peace) ... dontcha wonder if ol’ John is doing it again?
He won't lose it, he'll give it away to the head choppers and butchers of women.
This is turning into a big sick dirty joke on all of us.
No,no you dont’ understand, That’s a French Monkey. I guess he dropped his white flag.
“... White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs bragged Obama has spent almost twenty hours in meetings on Afghanistan since August.”
Bragged! Bragged? Cripes, that is less than 1 hour a day...much less!!!!!! These people are freaking unreal!
Well, I guess this is a painful situation for a man who doesn’t like hard work and can only vote present. God help and have mercy on our soldiers and our country!
When the Iraq strategy wasn't working, and we were in danger of losing to an insurgency, Bush approved the surge, and beat back the insurgency and won the war. When Obama is presented with the identical situation, he chooses to lose the war.
Oh yes...we are fighting a holy war...not only with the Muslims everywhere but with this imposter renegade in the WH.
Obummer has made a career of throwing people under the bus. He'll just get a bigger bus to accommodate the Pakistanis and non Taliban Afghans.
