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.

Our current CIC is actually on America's side... which is a refreshing change.

I do believe this President will execute the job differently than past Presidents and be more aggressive in killing terrorists.

He's already changed the ROE by lifting Obama's restrictions on troops in the field.

We're going to be killing terrorists!

How Pakistan reacts depends on what China wants, and will tell us much about China.
The overarching concern in that region is China’s “One Belt”.
There are huge sums of money involved.

They will as soon as the fax with their assigned talking points comes in from the DNC.

Having the bad guys/nukes on your border (India), is NOT a good thing.

Seems like it. John McCain is probably happy.

“Loyalty to our nation demands loyalty to one another. Love for America requires love for ALL of its people.”

Bill O’Reilly: The president’s speech on Afghanistan was strong in tone but cloudy on specifics.

David Horowitz: Exactly the speech you would have wanted from our commander-in-chief. Fixing Obama’s mess.

I gave 43 the benefit of the doubt....he let the generals sacrifice soldiers to show for nothing after Taliban and Al Queda were blown up. I didn’t expect much from 44. 45 is turning out to be a joke...his instincts were the reason people voted for him. But after he sits behind the desk, he admits his platform was vapid talk and was appropriate moonshine for the yokels? What else will be equally hot air? Immigration? Wall? Trade?

No benefit of the doubt to 45...hope for best....but hope is running short after 16 years, thousands of lives and billions of dollars!

The tough guy talk act is running stale....Deep State across the political spectrum has gone into full court press in selling this nonsense to public. The laudatory “analysis” coming out of every orifice is meant to reward 45 for being a good doggie.

This could be 45’s equivalent of 41 breaking his pledge for “read my lips. no new taxes”.

All the smart set applauding this decision is by itself suspect and worthy of skepticism. Rapid exit is both “predictable and catastrophic”? Nothing that was predicted as come true......Sen. Graham getting all excited makes me even more skeptical....

Incredible what we as a nation, and what our military have had to suffer through for the eight Obama years.

Which is why McCain and Romney can go straight to hell--do not pass Go or the Planet Molob.
