Live from New York...it's Barack Obama!
On the banks of the Hudson River at West Point, Obama will give his military strategy for Afghanistan, based on the tactical genius of Capt. Spaulding, aka Groucho Marx:
Oh dear, he is coming, At last he's here.
(Spaulding) Hello, I must be going, I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going. I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going. La La.
(Mrs. Rittenhouse) For my sake you must stay. If you should go away, You'd spoil this party I am throwing.
(Spaulding) I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer thru, But I am telling you, I must be going.
(All) Before you go, Will you oblige us, And tell us of your deeds so glowing?
(Spaulding) I'll do anything you say, In fact I'll even stay!
(All) Good!
(Spaulding) But I must be going.

He is losing it. The economy? This is the wrong audience.
I'd feel much more confident if Obama spoke with an American accent, and not a Koranic accent.
OMG! Is he done yet?
We are being lectured by an anti-American poseur......GOD help us.
McChrystal’s Statement
http://www.dvidshub.net/?script=news/news_show.php&id=42227
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The statement of General Stanley McChrystal, Commander NATO International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces Afghanistan regarding the address by the President of the United States:
“The Afghanistan-Pakistan review led by the President has provided me with a clear military mission and the resources to accomplish our task. The clarity, commitment and resolve outlined in the President’s address are critical steps toward bringing security to Afghanistan and eliminating terrorist safe havens that threaten regional and global security.
“The NATO International Security Assistance Force objective is equally clear: We will work toward improved security for Afghanistan and the transfer of responsibility to Afghan security forces as rapidly as conditions allow. In the meantime, our Afghan partners need the support of coalition forces while we grow and develop the capacity of the Afghan army and police. That will be the main focus of our campaign in the months ahead.
“The 42 other nations of the coalition will benefit from a strengthened U.S. commitment, as success in Afghanistan must be an international, integrated civil-military effort - from our security and training capacity to the governance and economic development assistance that sustains long-term stability. The concerted commitment of the international community will prevail in bringing real change to Afghanistan — a secure and stable environment that allows for effective governance, improved economic opportunity and the freedom of every Afghan to choose how they live.
“We face many challenges in Afghanistan, but our efforts are sustained by one unassailable reality: neither the Afghan people nor the international community want Afghanistan to remain a sanctuary for terror and violence.
The coalition is encouraged by President Obama’s commitment and we remain resolute to empowering the Afghan people to reject the insurgency and build their own future.

God grant him wisdom and courage as he leads
this half measure he requested.
God bless and protect him and our brave military.
(he’s forged new alliances ...??? With the Muslim world???)
He’s delusional!
You and I don’t believe in the same things, Obama.
Is it over with yet?
What an utterly clumsy statement with such an unnecessary broad brush. Bush was not trying to build a one world government. He invaded two muslim countries kicking butt and certainly is not worthy of comments like yours while we are listening to the likes of socialist scum like Obama. Bush had lots of faults but Iraq and Afghanistan were not on that list.
GITMO?! Where the hell did that come from?
shirley you jest
I should have made Pok-E-Ston the drinking word.
Hey there, bad enough listining to this POS but he has the nerve to do this from West Point.
Damn, just what I was thinking....GMTA
Yes and that surrender is very dabgerous. It may plunge our nation into a total war.
America has forged a new beginning with the Muslim world????
OMG, he can so bite me.
(and your mother is a wise woman.)
Oh yeah America will speak out for your human rights - you mean like we did in IRAN...
