SEOUL -- President Barack Obama will not announce his decision on sending more troops to Afghanistan before the Thanksgiving holiday, senior aides said on Thursday.

"You guys make a pretty good photo op," the president said.

He got a huge cheer when he told them he was increasing military pay. "That's what you call an applause line," he said...

Could be the truest words he's spoken this year.
52min on the ground, minus deplane/replane time=30min
At least he thinks he's funny.
I just sent a Thank you card via Xerox’s Give Thanks website that sends cards to the troops and then I clicked over and read this. I weep for our men and women in uniform who are sacrificing so much to be treated with so little respect by their commander in chief. It’s a million times more offensive to me that his actions scream that he “hopes they fail” than Rush hoping Zero fails.
By the time he makes a decision, winter will set in, and even if he authorizes the troops, they won’t be able to get there timely. The fix is in.
Policy dump on Friday evening.
and after Thanksgiving the line will be that he won’t be making any decision until after the Christmas Holidays and the New Year...guaranteed.
This is shameful.
He’s an islamist. No other reason seems possible.
“The troops will be home from Kosovo by Christmas.”
Here’s the deal as I see it.
Obama wants to get health care passed first so that the left rejoices. Then he hits them upside the head with the Afgan troop decision, figuring it will all balance out and the wards of the state will continue to love him.
And that's all it is.
And that's all it is.
Worthless POS Pres_ent gaffes again. That's all anything or anybody is to him; a photo op to make him look good.
He makes me sick.
I really knew he had no regard for our troops when he didn’t visit them in Germany back when he was campaigning for the Presidency.
I’d call him trailer park trash, except that would be an insult to anyone who lives in a trailer park.
You know, if that were Bush, Cheney or Palin up there saying things like that, the media would pounce on them like a lion on a wounded gazelle.
Sycophants all.
Every time I sse that beautiful little boy with such deep pain on his face I start to cry.
