Obama fouled his own nest there...it didn't help when he got caught negotiating with the Taliban behind Karzai's back.

"A videoconference between Mr. Obama and Mr. Karzai designed to defuse the tensions ended badly, according to both American and Afghan officials with knowledge of it. Mr. Karzai, according to those sources, accused the United States of trying to negotiate a separate peace with both the Taliban and their backers in Pakistan, leaving Afghanistan’s fragile government exposed to its enemies.

There’s no ‘pulling out’ of the War on Terror.

There’s only a collapse of the front lines closer to home - the mainland US.

Pull US troops out of foreign engagement, and the battles will be in America’s streets.

Obama works with al Qaeda.


President Ronald Reagan:

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
"

Obama strategy: Run, and spread chaos as you go. American soldiers should not risk a hangnail for Emperor Zero.

I’m getting a mental picture of a helicopter on top of an embassy building with a long line of people jostling for access to the helicopter.

Anybody seen a picture like that before?

It’s too late for a “faster pull-out” - In 2008 Obama promised we would be out within a couple of years.

We’ve been in Afghanistan for a decade longer than we should have been. You can’t civilize a nation of savages, at least not with the constraints of modern political correctness.

Loosen the ROEs so our guys can protect themselves and get the h*** out.

I “considered” a faster pullout once too. My daughter is now 31 years old.

Karzai has really screwed himself. His temper tantrums about American ROE’s and his comments about how the US is in cahoots with the Taliban have made him extremely unpopular stateside. This guy probably subscribes to a zillion conspiracy theories about how America presidents are dictators who can do whatever they want, but the reality is that the only way he could have kept GI’s in-country was by keeping the American public on his side. By making Americans hate him, he has made certain that he will face the Taliban without American troops and perhaps without American financial aid. Karzai is yet another example of Dubya’s lamentable personnel choices. Iraq’s Maliki is another one.

That Gay Pride celebration probably didn’t help much— But I can agree with Hagel in his comment it “makes us stronger” especially when we flaunt such crap as a guest in a Muslim
Country -but can’t claim we doin’ it in the name of allah.

He’s not frustrated with Karzai. He made a deal with the next heroin/opium kartel, the returning Taliban to make the world safe for black tar heroin. That is what this about now. That and the correct backing for the correct natural gas pipeline to be built. Articles all over the place about the pipeline. The dope issue has been there since we got over there. Remember that karzai’s brother was shot dead with a hasselblad case full of what was (?) 56 million headed for a dubai bank. Seriously. obamaumau and his pals, just like many elitists... are dopers.

Obama can’t get along with anybody who doesn’t agree with him...

I really wish Obama’s Daddy would have pulled out faster.
