Just announced by Jennifer Griffith in a live interview, WH has asked Pentagon for a formal assessment of a withdrawal from Afghanistan, that the Afghan War is no longer in our nations interest, blamed the Afghan elections.

You're DONE?

This fight has just begun. The enemy is counting on people like you to give up.

DON'T DO IT! Don't give in to the Marxists. WE outnumber THEM. WE SURROUND THEM.

Don't give up!

I don't care what your "I love Bush" credentials are, so you don't need to bother with that.

Do YOU give up your beliefs and core convictions just because others around you have done so? What you are saying is that President Bush should do what he believes to be wrong just because the Dem presidents have done it.

That's what decent parents spend a lot of time teaching their kids NOT to do, isn't it? And isn't that the antithesis of what decent people do??

It is not President Bush's job to speak out, and it wouldn't help anyway. It's OUR JOB as the American people to speak out, and we will make a difference......we already are, in fact.

Comparing President Bush to the despicable Nero just because he stays true to his convictions is just plain wrong. I'm sorry if that offends you, but it is.

This Nation is more important than your feelings... my feelings or some misguided notion that Bush may have on decorum. It will not matter because we are on a highway to hell and the fast-track to our destruction... but oh my my we must remain civil and above the fray. That is a major reason that communism and sharia are in full fledged assault on our very way of life. New Tone and Bush's absolute refusal to defend himself and those like me that supported him, is a large part of why he is viewed as a failed President and why we find ourselves in this battle today... that and his big government spending and his embrace of amnesty. My credentials will not be brushed away that easily.

I say, if we are going to fight this war, then let’s fight it. I’m tired of this pussyfooting around and trying to play nice to people for whom death is their god. They want to die? I say let’s help them attain their desire - not just a few of them either. WWII style warfare is the only way to deal with these cretins.

My feelings? What are you talking about? I was talking about President Bush's convictions.

And one of those convictions is that his presidency, in time, will be judged by what he actually did, not how many people opposed him at the time, and who got ticked at him for not doing what they felt like he should do. And that most certainly includes those of you who are still angry with him because he didn't "defend himself" and as a result hurt your feelings

btw, blaming him for "where we are today" spits in the face of the historical facts about the election in November. It's emotion, not reality.

But none of this is the topic of the thread, so I won't take the time to further my argument here. The facts of the November election are available to all who choose to look into them.

".....those boys ..well men..."

That's okay.

We can call them "Boys", because as conservatives, we respect them and it is a term of respect and endearment.

When Liberals call them "Boys" they are trying to use the term to politically manipulate the perception of them to make them appear as children, unable to understand anything they have done, signing contracts against their will and being forced into servitude.

I think it is one of the reasons most military personnel are more conservative than liberal...they know this, even if they don't say it. Remember the response by most military people to Kerry's comments?

The closest thing?

How about a link to the story posted?

I find it highly unlikely that the “White House considers withdrawing from Afghanistan”, and NO ONE reported it?

With Obama, every enemy is praised, and every friendly country is castigated and vilified.

Rush Limbaugh first mentioned Operation Chaos on February 5th.

On February 9th, Romney withdrew leaving only Huckabee in the fight.

On March 19th, McCain clinched the nomination.

Explain to me how Operation Chaos had anything at all do do with McCain winning the primary.

I didn’t post the thread. I was searching for a confirmation and the link to the Fox News story was the ONLY thing I could find that even came close.
Having said that, it would not surprise me in the least if it was true. obama is not for US. He is for the enemy. He IS the enemy.

I know you didnt post the thread...didnt mean to imply that if I did...sorry...

I am just getting a bit frustrated here...everyone in this thread is acting as though it’s true...and we dont even have a link to the story claimed in the first post...

I have plenty of comments...but I want to see the source BEFORE I make them...

The post sounds more like wishful thinking than anything the white house said....even off the record...

No link....no confirmation....no story.......

You just did, between February 5th and March 19th, millions of Conservatives voted in dim primaries. That left moderate Republicans to select the nominee, which they did. OC was an absolute disaster for our country, thanks for participating!
