WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown have turned the focus of Afghan war planning toward an exit strategy, publicly declaring that the U.S. and its allies can't send additional troops without a plan for getting them out.

The shift has unnerved some U.S. and foreign officials, who say that planning a pullout now -- with or without a specific timetable -- encourages the Taliban to wait out foreign forces and exacerbates fears in the region that the U.S. isn't fully committed to their security.

After months of dithering, handwringing and option exploring, the boyking is now working on his exit strategy. What a relief: Finally, he's found a task that he can take on with real gusto.

Ping.

:-(

I've been afraid of this, that Zero would turn to the tried and true Democrat playbook from Vietnam.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Great, now we can look forward to him bowing down to Mullah Omar?

[cranked]

Only serves to re-emphasize that a politician will say whatever is necessary to get elected, right Barry?

[jveritas]

If we leave Afghanistan before we crush the terrorists there then we are going to have disasters that are worse than any nightmare we can ever imagine. This coward and defeatist is going to cause us incredible harm.

. . . . Debate Shifts to Afghan Exit Plan.

[Thanks, fanfan.]

[jveritas]

When the going gets tough the tough gets going but the coward folds and surrenders. Obama the coward has folded and has surrendered.

[Rome2000]

Now that the muslim in chief has signaled he intends to cut and run assuring his raghead brothers victory, asking soldiers and their families to continue to die and be wounded for no good goddamned reason is not going to go over big.

This commie MF is playing with fire, and I'm talking domestically.

You’re welcome LucyT.

Barry is America’s worst nightmare.

[fanfan]

Obama leaving Afghanistan before victory, ping.

[fanfan]

Post #6 bump.

Some of us observers are wondering why that hasn't happened yet.

In any event, history tells us that this can't go on much longer.

Either you Americans are going to take to the streets, and soon, or you will find yourselves living in Stalin's Russia.

I'm weeping for you. I also weep for civilization as we know it. America is the beacon of freedom for the world. If she falls, well, imagine a million Sarajevos, all over the western world.

Don't forget to allocate a bunch of helicopters to evacutate people from the roof of the embassy, and wherever people have worked for or with the US and its allies.

Since it's Obammy, he'll probably throw the latter group under the Chinook, and leave 'em for the Taliban.

[lookout88]

Send all of obamabots to Afghanistan when we take our country back.

[SaraJohnson]

Let him intentionally lose the war quickly before he kills any more of our soldiers for nothing!

[SaraJohnson]

Americans voted him in and Americans as a whole should get the consequences of his hate and foreign loyalities - not just our soldiers dying without support and leadership in Afghanistan.

[Candor7]

We need a task force to evolve an exit time table.I know , Murtha can head it up, and we can publish it in Farsi and Pashto, just so the enemey can have a clear picture!

I thought the British were working on an exit strategy for Gordon Brown and Labour rule?

[Canadian Outrage]

No S*it Sherlock!! This is already A HUGE DISASTER. He has done more undoing of America in 9 months than could ever be imagined.
