Thanks for the updates of the statements and (lack of) response. For those of us not watching, it is very heartening!
1. Did he ask the Afghanis about this?
2. Mr. O what is your exit strategy for Afghan?
3. Where are the peace demonstrators?
” In Afghanistan we will be there to help the Afghanis defeat Al Queda.”
I have no idea how that will be acomplished with Barry’s new strategy of yelling Boo! and then running away.
Or Bombs Not Away.
” A new military approach in Afghanistan may mean buzzing rather than bombing the enemy,
according to the general taking over the air war there.”
“The first thing we do is fly over head,
and the bad guys know airpower is in place and oftentimes that’s enough. That ends the fight, they vamoose,”
said Hostage,
who will direct the air battle over Iraq and Afghanistan. “
“Hostage says the Air Force can easily drop bombs with pinpoint accuracy.
But in some cases, it may be better to fly over enemy forces with noisy warplanes to get them to disperse first,.”
Drumroll please for the money quote.
Hostage said McChrystal has told his forces,
“If you are in a situation where there’s a civilian at risk,
he’d rather have us back away
than pressing to engage the enemy and
run the risk of damaging or hurting somebody.”
Obama will fight Americans at town halls, but, he won’t fight America’s enemies.
Bring the troops home now, it’s pointless.
