I don't think he ever used the words 'victory' or 'win.' In any case, if I understand this correctly, it will take us 9 months to get the half-stepping step-up of troops in country. Then all of the troops must be out a year after that. ???

Is this just an exercise in moving troops and equipment around the globe and back?

This is very bad news. Obama just made enemies out of 60 % of the country who realize now that they want him gone, as of yesterday.

Of course many of us wanted him gone before his inauguration, but now the tipping point has come. And the left don’t care a wit.They will not change or compromise, and so the hatred will ramp up and up.

Where will it lead? What will America do in this ramped hatred of its own executive branch, and congress?

I have no idea.

9 months to get the troops in place and then in another 9 months start pulling them out.

It's all political strategy gone wild.
