It’s surreal.

I know we take shots at Obama, but over there, since Monday for some reason, they act like scorned women. I’m almost beginning to feel sorry for the O-man.

So now the bold prediction is that we will be out of Afganistan the year after his second term (if there is one) runs out. I thought he was not going to leave it to his successor to deal with. Oooops.

The next bold prediction will have to be about when we will be out of Debtsylvania. I wonder if that year will start with a 2?

My suspicious mind tells me this is just a way to keep the best of our troops out of the country, so that they’re unavailable to “keep their oaths” to defend the Constitution against our Enemies Domestic.

Oh, that’s just brilliant. Now the Taliban know exactly how long they have to wait us out. And the rank and file Afghanis know they can’t oount on us for the long term. Let me think, where will they throw their support....hmmm.....?? [/s]

Deciding when to get out of there is above Zero’s pay grade, so he’s assuming he’ll be re-elected and spend another four years primping and preening, then in 2016, a REAL president will be elected and he will make the tough decisions necessary to end the war.

That’ll be well into a second term for whichever Republican is elected in the next election.

The message to the Talibs ought to be, we can do this til the cows come home. We can do this and more without breathing hard.

Give up, or prepare to spend the rest of your lives hiding from us. However short that might be.

In the meantime, I’m glad he is giving Petraeus and McChrystal what they need to do their jobs.

So the Afghan War will last longer than the Iraq War, which the libs characterized as “Bush’s endless war.”

Destroy all their drug crops and they’ll have a lot less to fight for and with since they use that cash crop to finance themselves. Not like we’re destroying their food after all.
While i’m sure some idiots will decry that act they’ll look pretty stupid doing it.

What a coincidence. Obama won’t be in the White House after the election of 2012.

Obama now has to admit that the Taliban is the enemy otherwise why stay? For the past 7 years the Rats have been claiming that ONLY Al-Qaeda was the enemy with minimal linkage to the Taliban.

America dies with a CIC that acts this way. Why even have a well trained military force, if you are going to support them. I don't think anyone wants another Viet Nam, but if you are not willing to win from the start, you will never win, and you will have another Viet Nam.

My oh my. Are we looking at WWIII?

Are we looking at another depression that will make us pray for the Great Depression? How can small people be expected to make the large decisions that will save our Country on all fronts, if they want to spend, spend, spend (to pay off their nepotistic friends for getting elected..., under the guise of Saving the Country... and in the end, we all cry because our children are crying?

God Save Us.

30,000 over 2 1/2 years is not a counter insurgency. It’s a trickle.

One typical snippet:

“I had such high hopes for Obama, he has done nothing but disappoint me. “

So who said there’s nothing we could agree with the DUmpsters about...

I wouldn't say we agree with them, we didn't have high hopes and he didn't disappoint us with his actions, he is doing exactly what we said he would do. Now, if they say they are disgusted with him, then I would say we agree with them.

Actually, that’s probably about right: first year of President Palin’s second term. She’ll manage to win the war despite the current mess the Obamaites are making and except for some advisors and the contingents at an air base and army base remaining under a new status of forces agreement, the troops will be home by the August congressional recess in 2017. (^_^)
