The sooner the better. The way this war is being prosecuted is a crime against our troops.
Pray for them.

I believe the discussion of the July deadline yesterday is why we see McCrystal speaking up today.
He knows he can't possibly win this thing by July and he is angry at the White House.

I believe you’re dead on, McCrystal knows for sure it can’t be won by then but to tell the Taliban a date we even begin to leave is asinine.

If Obama does go through with the cut and run, there better be a mass resignition and retirement of a good number the top generals. Of course, a lot of them are too political to have much integrity.

I really do believe the US is finished. I don’t even believe an election can fix this gawdawful mess.
The people at the top would all need to be removed and replaced by those who aren’t corrupt.
A lot of our troops are dying at a faster pace, yet their deaths are no longer reported by the marxist media. The admin plays each day with no respect for the sacrifices made by the people for their country.
The MSM and the Obama admin have no conscience and no honor.

Karzai is a dead man three months after we leave.

they will bide their time...striking from cover until next year this time and then the Mojahedin...or Taliban...or Al-Qaeda or whatever these goat raping towel models are calling themselves these days, will crawl out of their spider holes and take over....
and zer0bama and Ernst Röhm Emanuel will shrug their shoulders and say, like in Goodfellas...”...there was a problem..and their was nothing we could do about it...”

OBAMA bears full accountability for this GIGANTIC CLUSTERFCK :
1st - by DELAYING BY MORE THAN 4 MONTHS (AUG/SEP/OCT/NOV) a "decision" on what to do in Afghanistan!
2nd - by letting this TRAITOR Emmanuel announce to our enemies that it will be open season in 2011 against our troops.

We saw how well that worked in ‘75.

Not only has Zer0 drug his feet on Afghanistan but has put our troops in more peril by what’s going on right now.
He’s ignoring our commanders and when he’s not going to parties, ballgames and playing golf he’s politicking on the Gulf oil spill and supporting Dems candidates.
Hello Obama? You are the CINC and you have a war going on, get with the program. Rahmbo Emanuel is a flunkie and not the CINC, he should butt out.

We saw how well that worked in 75.It worked out fine for the left, since they share philosophy with the commies.

To: jazusamo
the start date is necessary because it has "created a sense of urgency" among the allies to get the job doneLying asshole. It has "created a sense of urgency" among the allies to get the hell out before it all collapses.
To: jazusamo
“Everybody agreed on that date.”
I don’t think McCrystal, and the military agreed
as much as had it rammed down their throats pretty
much like we had health care shoved down ours.
The problem with the Whitehouse is that they treat
America as if it was the enemy.

Karzai has already cut a deal with the Taliban. He's a survivor, and way too smart to trust the Obamanites. He saw the handwriting on the wall by election night 2008.
