If the NY slimes think we have a powerful national interest in Afghanistan you can bet that we do not .

[Imperialist]

Obama is a total wuss. President Bush never left us wondering what his intentions on Afghanistan were going to be.

Is the NYT calling for Bush tactics? Sure sounds like it. Too late however, Obama is a total wuss.

NYT disagreeing with THE ONE?

Oh the Humanity!

This communist claims Americans are losing faith in N0bama and the Afghanistan war. Meaning: they would rather cut and run then secure America. If Bush were still in office I'm sure they'd stay positive and keep supporting our troops.

July's death toll of 66 American troops was the highest since the war began... the administration has sent a host -- a cacophony -- of conflicting signals about the deadline, the strategy and its commitment to the war. Americans need regular, straight talk from President Obama about what is happening in Afghanistan, for good and ill, and the plan going forward. More ambiguity will only add to the anxiety and confusion.

Wait for it... wait for it...

Both the NY Times and Zero will blame all of us for whatever it is that's going on in Afghanistan. Thanks Pan_Yan. G'night all.

What are the ROE now vs. 2 years ago?

We just have to defeat the Taleeeeeban without shooting them...no problem...

Who wrote this editorial?

The writer still blames Bush for doing too little.

[Nosterrex]

Obama does what other people tell him he needs to do. He has no interest in Afghanistan, but his handlers tell him that he cannot just declare victory and leave. Obama would much rather use the military against the Tea Party than against his brother Muslims.

[edpc]

When campaigning, Obama regularly said the Bush administration "took their eye off the ball" where Afghanistan was concerned.

Nice to see Obama is more concerned about bouncing that ball on a court or whacking it around a golf course.

[tcrlaf]

The Gay Mafia at the New York Times is admitting Obama is blowing it in Afghanistan?

Anyone know what the temperature in Hell was today???

[ILS21R]

Americans need regular, straight talk from President Obama...

Regular straight talk....from Obama?

The NYT Editorial Board cannot be that freaking stupid. It's impossible. Or is it?

[Liberty Valance]

The NYT Editorial Board

[Southack]

The NY Times is simply agitating for Karzai’s ouster...because Karzai is the real deal instead of someone whom they can stage manage.

That’s their entire motivation for the editorial. 100%.

Yes, 100%.

Everything else in the editorial is designed to convey that singular objective into terms that the White House of 2010 understands.

[Waverunner]

Obama out his guy in charge, then loses our fellow US citizens in combat at a rate three times that of GWB, but it’s GWB’s fault... NYT, the grey lady with alzheimers, forgettin the facts, but enjoying the song from the dead parrot.

[Danae]

Hey NYT! Good luck with that whole straight talk thing... let us know how that works out for ya...

Bawahahahahahahaha Like they would know straight talk!! Hahaha What a freaking laugh!

[xzins]

The huge national interest actually lies in the connection between the taliban/al qaeda and Pakistan. Pakistan is a nuclear nation, and it is unfathomable for the jihadists to gain entry into OR control of the Pakistani government.

I worry less about the taliban forcing burquas on afghanis. If they want serfdom, then let them have it.

And when they get to be a bothersome infestation, then come again and clean them out. Eventually, a government will arise that wants to stay in power and leave others alone.

But Pakistan’s nukes are a huge issue.

[popdonnelly]

I thought this was the war that Democrats supported. I guess they’re liars.
