I read enough to say, without a doubt, that Obama’s a puss. Withdrawal for me but not for thee? Right...
The US is not committed to victory, why should the Canadians stick around. If I were they, I would get the hell out while the “getting” was good.
Mundane observations from flyover-country USA:
1a. I suspect you couldn’t find one-in-a-hundred Americans that would
have a clue that about 1/3 of the military commitment in Afghanistan
is made by allies in NATO. (I suspect most would think the USA
was about 90 percent or more of the manpower)
1b. Never heard any mention about the infusion of more NATO troops to come...
Obama makes it sounds like every thing is a USA operation and that’s
why we need to get out (as if we’re the only ones that have made
any sort of sacrifice).
2. One does wonder what sort of real communication was made with
NATO partners like Canada, The Netherlands, etc...before Obama’s cut-and-run
speech at West Point.
Or has Obama proven to be even more of an “American Cowboy” than Dubya?
And decided, after MONTHS of dithering, to make the withdrawal
speech and not really talk beforehand with the NATO partners.
