Obama has risen far beyond the level of his own incompetence. Hell, he couldn’t even straighten out Chicago!

The American voters elected a slogan, instead of a competent leader with experience.

I'm not sure any democratic government in which everyone votes can survive indefinitely.

People are too gullible and easy to manipulate.

Since Obama doesn't believe in war he can't understand military strategy. His response is a watered down “surge,” an exit date and a public pissing match with Karzai.

Relieving the general of command sends a message that Obama is thin-skinned, arrogant, and easily offended.

Nothing new there...if they needed this incident to grasp this they just haven't been paying attention.

can we stop promoting dick morris. He’s a dumb hack of the worst kind. I know he’s an ally, but he’s still a dishonest person who would say anything

“Obama’s Left Wing Base”

People you see on the street, at work, in your own family. “Obama’s Left Wing Base” are insane, utterly destructive media robots.

The Left should be mad. Quite simply, Obammy replaced his own guy with Bush’s guy.

Obama is going to sign an Executive Order for OPEN GAYS in the Military!! That will then mean that the DRAFT, FEMALES INCLUDED, will HAVE to re-instated!!! Straight, good, Godly men will FLEE......but since there are NO JOBS available, maybe they won’t be able to!!

The loyal opposition would do well in making a plan rather than betting November on rankled liberals. I doubt they are as rankled as we like to think. Where, after all, are they going to go?

To conservative voters and commentators, his comments underscore doubts about Obama’s competence.

What doubts would those be? I don't think there's any conservative, voter or not, who has even the slightest doubt about Obuttocks' incompetence; we're just trying to figure out how far his incompetence extends - so far, each time we think he's gotten as incompetent as a grown human being could, he surprises us by going the extra mile and showing that he can be even more incompetent that even we imagined.

Any war can be won. For us, its a question of having the will to enough firepower to break the enemy’s will. Clearly, we don’t. From the accounts I’ve read, the current rules of engagement have turned out troops into a laughstock in the eyes of the Afghani locals. It does not engender respect when you know exactly where the insurgents are and then you let them escape. When the locals don’t respect you, all the aid and jawboning in the world won’t help.

The Democratic Party is really a synthesis of environmentalists and peace advocates with a few gay rights activists and public employee unions thrown in.

But this was true back in the Clinton days as well, Mr. Morris. To my observation, it's been that way at least since 1968.

They already are against his decision to send additional troops there and have long believed that we should not be fighting in Afghanistan.

For 5 years under Bush we heard the liberals saying that Iraq is a distraction from "the real war".

Now that Iraq is not an issue, they oppose "the real war".

Bush would have given the troops he needed and the ROEs to win the war. Course he worried about the lives of the troops more than his image.

Pray for Our Troops

I think he’s applying too much rational logic to libtards. If anything, they’ll look at Obama’s decision to fire McCrystal and say...

“Look! He’s sticking it to the military.”
