I wouldn’t blame them for ending their involvement. This POS resident offends friends and appeases enemies. Cover your own a$$.

Don’t normally watch The O’Reilly Factor (haven’t since 2002) but was at my dad’s for Father’s Day weekend and he had it on for Friday.

Anyway, O’Reilly asked his two military guests how they would rate how the war in Afghanistan is going, with 10 being it’s going perfectly and 1 being it’s going horribly.

One military guy said a 3 and the other said a 2.

We can thank President Zero for this.

With Bush, the military would get what it asked for.
