The anti-war zealots are going to FREAK! Obastard announced just last year that he was going to start the pullout next year and now it lloks like

[Blood of Tyrants]

And now it looks like he is committing US troops for 5 more years.

The left wing would rather burkas and worship Wallah than support a war by the Bush monster!!!

[Huskrrrr]

I give Obama two years to LOSE control.

This shows how significant McChrystal's stepping down was and how dangerous the situation there must be.

Petraeus called for this as a line in the sand IMO. Probably said he wouldn't take the helm unless the 5 year timeline was announced.

This is a huge humiliation for Obama whose henchmen were calling only last weekend for a pullout in July '11..a complete turnaround. The far left is going to be blazing mad.

Blah, blah, blah...we are all about peace...blah, blah,...we don’t want to hurt anyone even if the enemy is wearing a dress (as verified today)...and just more blah..................

Taliban are thankful they’ve been given notice that they only have to fight Allied troops for 5 more years.

Not exactly a bad move on Obama's part, either. Pull out in a year and things immediately go to pieces and on his watch. Now he can blame the "delay" on the other leaders and the need for consensus while kicking the problem down the road to the next administration.

Don't think the pres__ent wasn't looking for a way out of the promises forced on him by his base. Perhaps based on Yon's assessment of McChrystal, Obama knew he could throw in a journalist from a friendly media outlet and the frat boys would trip themselves up in no time at all. And that's just what they did.

The anti-war zealots are going to FREAK!

The change will go unnoticed by all.

Unlike Iraq, Aftcrapistan will most likely continue to be a tribal based culture for years, if not decades. They have no interest in joining the world community.

Kinda reminds me of pre-Columbus native americans. They fought and killed and raped and plundered each other long before the bad Europeans set foot on this continent. Also, reminds me of the tribal British Isles who fought and killed and raped and plunder during its early years after the Roman Empire fell. And so it goes throughout history.

However, most every culture/nation has long since become civilized. Aftcrapistan seems to have a particular problem with growing up. As long as they remain tribal, there is no hope. If we left tomorrow, they would resort back to shooting women in soccor stadiums within months.
