Like there ever really was a mission.

Obama announced a “comprehensive plan in March 2009” when he appointed McChyrstal.

Then, when McChrystal requested more troops, Obama dithered for months, announcing that he was studing various options. In other words, there never was a comprehensive strategy in 3/09. Like everything else with Commander Zero, it was just a speech that he thought would play well, but there was never a plan.

Then he announced again that he had a comprehensive strategy, and gave McChystal only some of the troops requested.

Then the rules of engagement were so strict that our brave soldiers become sitting ducks, almost helpless to return fire. And we announced that we’d leave in 2011.

You don’t need to be a military expert to realize that Zero just makes it up as he goes along. He says anything that he thinks will sound good at the moment.

I hope Zero is impeached after the November elections.

This is larger than Obama or McChrystal. O is the ultimate schmuck, worse than Carter, but the civilian run the military.
In an ironic twist, guess who Stan voted for?
