W. Bush should break his silence on this and start calling out the Kenyan.

AGREED!

Kind of says all it needs to about Democrats and RINO’s, anti_American scum along with the voters that put them there.

“bring ‘em home...Obama doesn’t know how to fight a war..those boys ..well men..are getting killed because of his dumb ass rules of engagement.”

Thank you for saying what I have been thinking. I am so sick of us as a country going in to do a job that we know how to do best (that is, our professional Military knows how to do best) only to tie one hand behind our soldier’s backs so that they get slaughtered needlessly.

If we would only wake up and really do the job and quickly, efficiently and thoroughly leave those hell hole countries looking like a parking lot, instead of making our soldiers tip-toe through the tulips, it would be a sound mission.

It is very disturbing to think of our wonderful young men dying because of those worthless half-wits in Washington, D.C. and for those worthless rag-heads in the Middle East.

Do not say infallible. That worries me. I like her, but I worry about that kind of thing.

Within the next 7 months my son will either be reassigned involuntarily, or transfer to a unit of his choosing - which will be a combat unit. Right now he’s in a job in which he is not deployable. After his PCS takes place that will change. He will be deployable. If he and his new unit goes overseas he will be in more danger than he was the entire 18 months he spent in Iraq as a front-line combat soldier. If he is killed he will have been murdered by proxy committed by Obozo.

Let’s say this is just contingency planning or a trial baloon. What ally in its right mind is going to commit more troops if the obama administration even appears to be wavering? If fact that might be the plan: get the allies to drop their commitment, then say “well now we can’t win, we have to pull out too”.

But I reiterate, this would destroy this presidency in short order. The only thing that could save it would be pakistan delivering obl on a platter the day before the announcement.

My tag line was “Fight to win or bring them home.”
I prefer Fight to win.

I’ll pray for you. I have none of my own in the military (I’m retired Army) but plenty of my friends have kids over there, and my old Brigade is headed there.

And yet, not a PEEP from the smelly, aged hippies who made their voices heard DAILY for the past 8 years!

It’s maddness!

I truly hope this is 0bama’s ‘Waterloo.’ He’s a dangerous, evil man.

Well Obama did not finish what he started.There is a lot more to it then just saying yeah yeah bring our babies home.

The liberals (hell everyone) made fun of Buchanan when he wanted to isolate and fix America.

I know you just meant she is up for the job and isn’t a die hard PUB. She is for us. But Im so disgusted with politics I don’t think anyone can get in government and stay uncorrupt and untempted to not be on the $$$$$$ take.

He is a traitor to this country and should be tried and convicted. He will allow our enemies to reconstitute their terroristic goals and further attack innocent people around the world. Each death from terrorist since he became TOTUS lies at his feet. The body count will be higher under him, yet you will not see any protests from the loons.

It’s going to be QUITE the mess for Sarah to clean up in 2012. But, she’s most likely up to it. :)
