Wow! 0bama sure went 180 on his decision to send more troops into the war in Afghanistan.

Do you think the fringe liberal left gave him the facts on how things work?

You want my vote on healthcare, shut down the war like they did in Vietnam and let the Taliban start chopping off the heads of anyone that helped the Americans.

Nawww the lib's would never do it again.

As I understand, last I’ve heard he’s been sending more troops there. Has something changed?

Yes! The WH now says it hasn’t made a decision.

Thanks. It seems we now know why Obama said victory wasn’t necessarily the goal in Afghanistan. He probably wants to draw down and quit but only when it is politically expedient. Ordering more troops is just playing both sides of the issue. Lip Service and nothing else.

Forget Afghanistan is Obama's Viet Nam..

Obama is U.S. forces' LBJ

Won't risk losing support for domestic agenda by helping military.

Oval Office interfering with day-to-day combat missions, too?

yup to “Oval Office interfering with day-to-day combat missions, too?”

2 Generals have told 0bama they need more troops. Another war run from the WH?

Obama has hung our troops out to “die.”

I do not disagree at all with that statement.
