Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the enemy going to view an announced troop withdrawal as a sign of weakness? Will this not embolden the enemy?

God forbid, if another terror attack against our homeland occurs, would this benefit Obama politically?

As people have said, from the very beginning the Taliban has been visiting villages in Afghanistan saying, "The Americans will leave eventually. The foreigners always leave eventually. But we will stay. And we will remmeber where your loyalty lies. So, be friends with the Taliban and not the Americans, or you will pay a price when the Americans leave."

Now we are leaving. Any guesses as to how much support the Afghan villages will be giving us overt the next coupel of years? The situation there is likely to go downhill rapidly. In part because we have fewer troops, and in part because our friends are scared and in part because our enemies are emboldened.

If we have another terror attack, Obama can declare martial law and doesn’t have to worry about elections.

If any of our Congress-critters were actually concerned about the way their actions jeopardize this nation, they might realize that failure to remove this usurper BEFORE he takes the country down that road puts the nation at huge risk. Obama has shown a total disregard for the rule of law, in spite of his own advisors warning him. He is a clear and present danger to this country, and every minute that Congress stands idly by is more time off the ticking time bomb.

. . . well, no; unless Obama is able to hold out and continue weakening the military and this country in any way he can, as Clinton did. Then, BAM!, when he’s out, it’ll be time (nod, nod, wink, wink) for an attack under a Republican President’s watch. - Simple, but elegant in a macabre sort of way.
