Absolutely treason. He is a disgrace to the Office of the President. I have absolutely no respect for him as a man, he has disgraced himself and is doing everything in his power to undermine the foundations of this country. I cannot wait for 2012 so he can be voted out of office and return to where he came from.

What is the purpose of our continuing to keep troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan? We should bring them all home, save our soldiers’ lives, and save several hundred billion dollars. Let the Muslims fight and kill each other, as they have been doing for centuries.

King Hussein will do anything to have US troops out of Afghanistan before he runs for reelection. It will be the big foreign policy pledge he delivers for his base, after disappointing them so often.

If that means he has to make a dishonorable or disastrous peace that ultimately undermines US interests, so be it.

OUR surrender, of course.

Standard Operating Procedure of the Left:

Raise the surrender flag and declare victory!

they want the rest of the world to submit to their barbarism and chains. Correct...that is their definition of peace, convert or die.

You forgot Nixon, he was the one who started it all with,”Let me make one thing perfectly clear.”

Bill Clinton did the same thing in Somalia, while our service men were bleeding in the streets over there.

I wonder if this is why General Petraeus is leaving the theater.

The Kenyan Clown and his circus outdo themselves: capitulation to a 9th century enemy?

Mrs. Clinton in particular is outrageous in her pusillanimity:

“I know that reconciling with an adversary that can be as brutal as the Taliban sounds distasteful, even unimaginable. And diplomacy would be easy if we only had to talk to our friends. But that is not how one makes peace. President Reagan understood that when he sat down with the Soviets. And Richard Holbrooke made this his life’s work. He negotiated face to face with Milosevic and ended a war.”

What an embarrassment to a great nation with an honorable history, to have this foolish old harridan act as our Secretary of State. At least the Kenyan Clown is a mere usurper, and not a legitimate successor to Washington and Reagan.

I am no military expert but it seems to me our supply lines are not secure. We have to go through Pakistan to get in there. Or by air over unfriendly airspace. If things go bad we will be in a bind.
