You dig through and post what makes you feel comfortable with your cut and run crapOla.
I read first hand what the Generals say as in today’s San Diego Union Tribune. It would not fit your agenda.
10,000 more Marines are being deployed from San Diego in a few months to Afghanistan and they know why and support the mission
I dig through and post the record. Do you have a problem with what is on the record? You would have to be blind not to notice how Obama is conducting his war in Afghanistan.
I read first hand what the Generals say as in today’s San Diego Union Tribune. It would not fit your agenda.
"Actions speak louder than words" as they 'say', and the actions of Obama's Command over the war have been abomidable. The body count is quickly adding up. (But then again, what do you expect when your taking orders from a Waffler for a CIC!!!)

I know darn well that they are deploying more Marines from Pendleton! God Bless our Marines as they have had a mountain-sized governor placed on their chests by the Yahoos at the top. Makes me love and respect them all the more! Unfortunately, the CIC's ROE's are tanamount to taking their clips every time they go out on patrol and then saying they may have them back only if king Obama thinks they are Big Boys enough to handle them.
Why don't we review the record there too!? Here is an exchange we had back on Sept. 10th. After you accused anyone on the thread who weren't going along with Obama and McChrystal's incompetance and giving it a thumbs up.

Cut and run? No, this is all about the ROE’s and McChrystal’s lame ass decisions which are leading to our guys getting killed. If you are going to have boots on the ground over there, for heaven’s sake, let them defend themselves against terrorists and do their job. If the Obama Administration wants to ‘win hearts and minds’, have them send over missionaries. If they want to win battles, have them send Marines!
Sorry SoCalPol, but you are WAY off on this one.

I'm a unleash all “H” on the enemy if it saves even one Marine’s life...admittedly...I'm biased.;)

I don't believe in 'cut and run'. I DO believe in WINNING if you plan on engaging in a war. In giving our military clear goals and objectives and the trust,permission, ability and 100% BACKUP for those objectives to be achieved. I believe in placing one American Servicemember's life over ALL the lives of the enemy. Not in handholding and catering to the enemy through weak and incompetant ROE's!!
Now, I'm going to ask YOU a question AGAIN.
Sooooo, are you defending and supporting Obama and McChrystal's passive and deadly (to our servicemembers) ROE’s?
I did a 6 month tour in Afghanistan, and my two oldest kids did tours in Iraq.
Iraq I understand. I supported the fight in Afghanistan until I had been there. Now? I don’t know.
The problem with Afghanistan is the people are so incredibly screwed up by radical Islam that changing things will take a generation, and maybe more. Back in 2007, most of the radicals went to Iraq to fight - now they are ‘back home’ in Pakistan & Afghanistan. And you must carry out the fight in BOTH countries, because the large bulk of the fighters are training in and being supported by Pakistan.
I suspect McCrystal (?) is right, but I don’t think Obama and the Democrats who control Congress will give the support needed - and I don’t want our troops being hung out to die.
