Our troops have paid the price for Obama's gross incompetence as Commander-in-chief. A year after he stupidly tells the Taliban just wait us out until July 2011, he suddenly (and quietly) says, "never mind."

This will help his re-election in 2012.

Paging Mrs. Clinton!

Sadly, that was probably his only consideration.

Well, all right then. 2014 it is - mind you, that would be midway through the term of the next President whoever she turns out to be. I mean he, of course. In any case, it’s one of those little peculiarities of military planning that one stipulate what one intends to accomplish before withdrawing the troops. I don’t see anything like that here. The date is irrelevant - what’s the plan?

Three more years??

The entire Left Wing will come unglued. What do you suppose the margins would have been in both the Senate and the House had he mad this announcement before the elections??

Rotten manipulative bastards. Anyone who read Woodward’s book knows what utter hypocrisy and BS this is.

Isn’t it great how the MSM gives Hussein a pass on these issues (Iraq and Afgan.) Not to mention they no longer keep us updated on troop casualties, like they did when Bush was Pres.

Hypocrites.

My son deploys to Afghanistan this coming Spring, and my fears for him are 1000 fold worse than when he was in Iraq.

Even Barbara Lee would have had trouble getting reelected if Obama had put this out the week before the election instead of the week after.

I understand. Hopefully Gen. Petraeus is influencing this change.

It is far worse that that but idiots who watch TV including Al Waleed’s Fox don’t get it. Al Waleed invests Saudi Arabia’s money for his uncle the King.

The US govt, military, intel agencies have all been infiltrated by islamics, muslim brotherhood moles and Hassan types.

The King got him in the white hut and he and islam want to see the American military humiliated, destroyed and our troops killed. Keep watching TV because TV keeps Obama in power. The Saudis have deals with ALL 6 TV networks which own all the TV channels.

The networks sold you out to gain access to 1.8 billion viewers in islamic countries plus you alsoi have been sold out by multinationals who sell consumers goods and other things there.

They don’t care. Obama is their guy. He can do whatever he wants. He could start another war and the libs would not care. He is getting mostly conservatives killed in uniform which makes them happy

The left just looked for ways to attack Bush.

You're right, and his criminal, flat out treasonous criminal ROE are getting our men and women wounded and killed at an accelerated rate. Any wonder the conflict turned so deadly after hussein took office?

hussein is finding out that the world is in fact a dangerous, unfriendly place. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan aren't so easily won, or even swept aside.

Hey all you lurkers/obama supporters, how's that on-the-job-training thing working there? Your boy hussein can't even figure out how to close one prisoner camp (Gitmo) let alone run two wars. I'd bet hussein couldn't even lace up a set of Army boots without help.

Obama has walked away from being a leader. He would rather just be king.
