It’s hard work ain’t it, you lousy P.O.S. poseur!?

I was reading a post on a different site from someone whose brother had come back from Afghanistan, back in the old days a few years ago when we were committed to driving out the Taliban. The US had captured a place that that the Taliban had been using to punish women who were accused of some “unIslamic behavior.” The women’s stomachs would be slit open, their intestines would be tied to a mule drawn cart in front of them, and they would be forced to walk behind the cart until they collapsed and died.

Islam is a bestial, evil cult, and we were doing a great thing by liberating the Afghanis from some of its worst practitioners. But all of a sudden, everything has changed.

He needs more ice cream to help make this momentous decision. /sarcasm

President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government

So, when does Raum go ballistic over this leak?

Don’t be so sure he didn’t leak it. He was the Clinton leaker, remember?

Nyah! Nyah!

Beatcha by exactly one minute.

(But you know what they say about great minds.)

Can you imagine if FDR had tried to run WWII like this????????

It’s mind boggling. He wants an exit strategy but won’t commit to a course of action that could determine that exit strategy. All things cannot be predetermined....some things go better...some things go worse.

So is he wanting to announce to the Taliban exactly when we’re leaving??

>> Obama wants his war options changed

Yeah. Everything he’s seen so far might actually work. He wants to see something that will ensure defeat while making it LOOK like he’s actually doing something. Back to the drawing board.....

[mojitojoe]

Another reason is he has divided loyalties.

[Chode]

the boy should just tell them what he wants them to say and be done with it...

[BelleAl]

Can I get my options changed too?

I didn’t like my options of McCain vs. Obama.

Someone should tell him he needs to grow up.

Uh-oh. Break out a huge supply of body bags. Zero is deliberately trying to get our guys killed and demoralize our military. Surely Gates has figured out by now that zero will not follow sound military and intel advice. If he’s smart, he’ll bail on zero quick. Gates has no power to protect our guys when zero issues policies that will get them killed for sure.

Oh come on people....

Bammi won the Nobel peace prize, he must keep dithering until after it has been given to him.

Then he will or will not decide or maybe just vote present. I don’t know, I’m so confused!

Since 0bozo is going to dither & dally & procrastinate while our troops are needlessly going on undermanned missions and getting killed & slaughtered, WHY OH WHY doesn't the military brass in Afghanistan just shut down most of the operations and hunker down instead of putting our soldiers out on missions to die needlessly. Just tell 0bozo the strategy is to get the enemy TERRORISTs to walk across open fields to get to us. In the meantime at least we would have less casualties & loss of life. I am more concerned about saving our soldiers lives rather than continuing on mindless useless deadly missions when we can't even fire unless fired upon first.

Could we do this? Just a thought....

[MaxMax]

HAH!

[popdonnelly]

His National Security Council comes up with options, and he can’t pick one? Aren’t these the best, most informed choices he’s likely to get?
