LIVE THREAD - Obama to Read From Teleprompter (Obama to lay out pace of troop pullout)
Washington Times ^ | June 21, 2011 | David Boyer

Posted on 06/22/2011 5:09:01 PM PDT by Hoodat

President Obama will explain Wednesday night his plan for withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan, with indications of a more rapid recall of soldiers than military advisers recommended but not enough to satisfy his liberal allies.

The president will announce his plan in a televised address from the White House at 8 p.m., spokesman Jay Carney said.

Good try Axelrod, but being I am posting to myself, I sense a waning of attention even among the politically astute. O’Reilly is giving his old media analysis now.

I see this entire thing as a slow and painful surrender, done for political reasons and done in such a way to insure more U.S. casualties.

My son-in-law ships to Afghanistan within 23 days.... while much of his backup leaves.

“There will be dark days in Afghanistan”

“We must reconcile the gov., including the Tall-E-Bon “

“Next summer troops will leave Afghanistan.” (so I can claim victory in my reelection campaign and the sh*t won't hit the fan until the second week of Nov.)

10 years wasted. Obama sucks. That is the nicest thing I have to say.

As much as they think they can plot it out and plan it, it’s war and it’s unpredictable, I wouldn’t show my cards.

If it’s can be any comfort about your son-in-law, I recall a Private from basic training who’s dream was to be an Army Ranger, and I thank God for brave souls like that. I have out-grown mine, but bless them all as they serve this great country, the United States of America!

going directly against every military mans advice .. now the Taliban can claim victory as Al-qaeda moves back in and sets up shop again.

WAY to go Obama .. anything for a vote. Gotta get that base back. To hell with American security. Now they can plan another 9/11 from the safety of Afghanistan all over again.

he is a genius.

Did he mention how many more expensive private contractors he’ll be sending over as replacements?

Maybe we'll get some pics of blackhawks pulling the last survivors off the embassy rooftop. You know, the updated version.

I wish you and her the best.

Rick did a tour several years ago in Iraq, during it’s worst battles.

Candidly, I have tried to talk him out of this tour, but he’s his own man.

Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.

You know pulling out of Afghanistan will be timed to occur before the election next year. Anything for a vote.

That's exactly as the Aphgan leadership sees this move as well as the Brits and others who have troops there. They see it as so because of course that is exactly what Obama's doing....using it all and every move he makes for re-election. We are all pawns on Obama's game board.

Could anyone look more arrogant if they practiced for hours in front of a mirror? Most arrogant looking man I have ever seen. It’s amazing how arrogance can be so captured in the face of a man.

It pains me and infuriates me that he’s using these brave men and women as pawns in his Hopey-Changey 2012 run.

Just disgusting...playing with life and death for politics sake...as usual.

The usurper needs to bring all the troops home so that their votes against him will count this time around.
