The President said he would not release the number of troops or when they will strike ... but strike they will!

Putting Pakistan on the spot is huge.

As he said he would do.

Or not do I guess.

Don't tell your enemy what you are going to do!

Kill mooslum terrorists! No more PC-Clown-Dunce-nobama ROEs. Sounds like a good plan.

“We can no longer be silent about Pakistan’s safe havens for terrorist organizations, the Taliban, and other groups.”

“Our commitment is not unlimited and our support is not a blank check.”

We must united to defend America from its enemies abroad.”

‘WE WILL FIGHT TO WIN”

On Fox Biz, Neil’s first words are—well, no interruption for applause from the troops...but then maybe they were told not to clap. (back to Game of Thrones)

No, you did not miss it—he simply did not say how many troops we are committing because he does not want to telegraph our plans to the enemy.

Unless the previous CIC.

>> Putting Pakistan on the spot is huge.

That was my impression as well.

I respect your opinion but this is wrong. This is not what we voted for.

Perhaps it is not what you voted for. Understand. I do believe this President will execute the job differently than past Presidents and be more aggressive in killing terrorists.

I think that will depend on how badly they want US bucks.

The President has made the right call – this framework for action is the right thing to do for Afghanistan, the United States, and the world.

There is no question that a secure, stable, and sovereign Afghanistan remains in the national security interests of the U.S.

We stand ready to work w/ @POTUS because the world is safer when America leads.

He looked fine to me and sounds like he’s in good spirits. Good speech...slightly awkward ending...he should have just walked off the stage sooner to shake some hands. President Trump is very tough and resolute mentally. Criticism about Charlottesille doesn’t bother him. He doesn’t care what punk news reporters say about him.

Afghanistan is really all about Iran now. Afghanistan is a NATO base where NATO keeps the pressure on Iran to not restart its nuclear weapons program. That’s why the US and NATO are still in Afghanistan, to stabilize the country so NATO can maintain its airbase in Afghanistan.
