Sarah Palin: Finally, A Decision for Afghanistan: We're In It to Win It

Three months ago, I joined a number of Americans in urging President Obama to provide the resources necessary to achieve our goals in Afghanistan. Tonight, I am glad he mostly heeded that advice........

It seems someone has hijacked Shaft29’s account this evening.

Rahm is that you?

I'm sure your little response will go over real big when she is asked by the media to define it. Nation building road to failure not victory.

[missanne]

Yes...I looked over at DU immediately after BHO address. Heads are still exploding!

[Pan_Yan]

It is the equivalent of Shakespeare's Caesar where Marcus Anthony said "But Brutus is an honorable man" while dismantling everything he did.

[Clyde5445]

Actually O agrees with Sarah. Remember the Afghan letter Sarah had her name added to it.

[Sarah Barracuda]

LOL AWESOME!! Libs heads exploding is always awesome to see. Did they read Sarah’s statement. That outta drive them over the edge.

And people of your type are exactly why we lost in Vietman, without suffering even one military defeat.
It was ankle biters, the loony left, the left-wing, anti-war media, and bomb throwers of your type defeat in Vietnam.
The good news is, vermin Like Walter Cronkite don't control the gateway to how American here the news anymore.
You can't pull a Vietnam on us if you tried. The loony left tried that trick in Iraq before the surge, and all but demanded surrender. We fought right back, and made sure sanity prevailed.

True. I mean I can’t judge. I have no clue what to do about Afghanistan. I just want the war won because if we don’t win, the enemies win and all those soldiers who died would have died in vein and I dont want that.

“HA! DUers must have blood shooting out of their eyes right now. Nice way to chip away at his base support. Brilliant!”

Agreed....and I thought most Freepers were smarter than those at DU......she set him up, Why can’t these people see it, you can’t just go full blazing shooting it out all of the time, you have to play it smart.....What will the liberal and media people do now that Sarah supported Obama on the WAR?

[SoCalPol]

Sarah is correct. She is plaing chess while some are still playing checkers.

There is more than one way to put Obama on the hot seat besides an outright slap

[missanne]

Hey where are the ZOT Kitties!?

[Islander2]

“I suggest that everyone who is disagreeing with her statement should read it again. She stops just short of adding “even though he’s obviously a freaking moron” at the end of the last sentence.”

That is exactly what I understand from her statements.
Mahalo

[missanne]

I know you were having fun...thought I’d help ya out with the troll tho. But seriously, where are the ZOT kitties??

[Clyde5445]

Sarah agrees with the surge strategy over all but there is a lot of room for criticisms down the road such as the rules of engagement etc.

[MileHi]

What will the liberal and media people do now that Sarah supported Obama on the WAR?

>>>>snicker<<<<<

Sissy what's-his-name is having a coronary right now I hope.

[offduty]

I NEVER said nation-building. The key is to break the will of those who would pick up arms to fight against us. As for VietNam, we would have won the war if the politicians had gotten out of the way. It was no secret the the bombing of the North was taking a heavy toll and it was just a matter of time before the North would have collapsed. And, since you bring it up, what unit did you serve with?

[SmokingJoe]

“I'm sure your little response will go over real big when she is asked by the media to define it.”

So far, she has been handing out one smack down after another to the media, making them look stupid and ridiculous time after time again, since her book came out {the 11 AP "fact checkers", the ridiculous story over her taking a plane" etc}.
I am sure she is more than able to handle whatever the pinhead little minds in the media would care to throw at her on this.
In addition, she just happens to be right. It helps when you are right and the other guy is wrong, you know.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I have to say that you are 100 percent right. I admit it, I did not see it that way, but your right. She is setting him up. If this was indeed her intention this is absolutely a brilliant move. Someone should go to the DU and see their response to what Sarah posted. Oh man, blood is probably pouring out of their eyes

[Art in Idaho]

". . that fewer troops mean assuming more risk. Talk of an exit date also risks sending the wrong message. We should be in Afghanistan to win, not to set a timetable for withdrawal that signals a lack of resolve to our friends, and lets our enemies believe they can wait us out. As long as we’re in to win, and as long as troop level decisions are based on conditions on the ground and the advice of our military commanders, I support President Obama’s decision.

Perfect. Political savant Sarah makes a statement that can be used later to "call him on it" when he fails. She never ceases to amaze me.

You are full of it, my dates of service 1967-1971, what was your dates of service.

And the day the last man pulls out of Iraq, Iran will drive in bet on it.
