Here’s what Obama thought of Bush’s troop increase:
How quickly America forgets...

"Either you are with us or you are for the terrorists."
~~George W. Bush
What a coincidence!! Few Americans at home could STAY awake for it, either!!
The Biggest Loser was on twice tonight. At 8pm from West Point and then at 9pm from California.
The only way I support a troop increase is if we go in there, whoop the $h!t out of them and then pull out with our middle fingers waiving goodbye. My buddies and I are tired of fighting a politically correct war and we, especially those of us who have been deployed four of the last six years (I personally have only deployed once which is rare in the Army nowadays) are very tired of not being allowed to win decisively after this many years. Thank God the American people are tired of it too. We must not have learned from Vietnam; hopefully, this time we’ve learned so that in the future we get in, whoop @$$, and then get out.

Few Marines in Afghanistan wake for Obama’s speech
“
Marines need their sleep.
(like all our military)
Because, “great work gets done, DESPITE MANAGEMENT”.
And that requires a good night sleep.
Our troops despise the Puke as much as we do. Pelosi is a close second in the Puke category.
My son is a Marine who will likely be part of this surge. I asked him how he felt about going. He said, “There are Marines there-that’s reason enough for me.”
The list, ping
Pres. Harry Truman showed us how to win World War II, but then he showed us how not to win in Korea.
FK NO! Get politics out of WAR and let our troops do what they do!
Just as long as we’re out by 2012 so there’s no quagmire there which might impact Obama’s odds at re-election. What’s more important?.. America (Defeating the terrorists), or The Democrat Party (winning an election)? And the Democrat’s answer is.. (drum roll please)... ELECTION!
Why should they wake to support someone who betrays them when they do their duty, and will hand them over to foreign prosecutors for what? giving a TERRORIST a fat lip?? Then has the nerve to go to west point to deliver a speech about how he’s only sending in 75% of the needed troops?
Our folks in the war zone need their sleep a helluvalot more than they need to be even further depressed by the idiot-in-chief.
Our military men and women already KNOW what’s going on. They also know this baby from Chicago doesn’t have a friggin’ clue!
Obama stood,coolly absorbing his audience; seeming to imagine their power and pride in accomplishment, was his and his alone. Whatever few warm words had been edited into his speech; they were stone cold on delivery.
And so it is; and will be, a demeanor assumed by our narcissistic and puffed-up President; who appears only cognizant of himself while emoting his arrogance of self-importance. Even when standing before one of America's greatest treasures - our incredible Military.
No doubt; they were a great photo-op. Albeit, another 'inappropriateness' missed by the One.
George Bush, on his worst day; could not carry off what Obama manages so deftly. We can be grateful for that (and for much more per GW, for certain.)
McClatchy report by Jonathan Landay, the reporter who broke the story of how our rules of engagement in Afghanistan endanger the troops.
McClatchy report by Jonathan Landay: Report: "Rules of engagement led to soldiers' deaths." A detailed follow up:
“The lack of timely air support - was a consequence of the manpower and equipment shortages bequeathed by the Bush administration’s failure to secure Afghanistan against a resurgence of the Taliban, al-Qaida and allied groups before turning to invade Iraq.”
“The denial of heavy artillery fire to those trapped in Ganjgal also has roots in the Bush administration’s decision to divert resources to Iraq and the resulting stress on the U.S. military.”
McClatchy investigation: Birthers are just plain nutsDoes McClatchy get its talking points from DNC operatives?
Harry Truman showed us how to win a war?
What?
You must mean WWII. Truman inherited the plan that was already in the works before he became President. He had little to do with those plans prior to Roosevelt’s death.
Are you talking about Korea? Korea was a failure and Truman was partly to blame. Korea remains divided to this day. Truman fired a famous general, if you recall because that famous general actually wanted to chase the Chinese back to China and take care of the North Korean government once and for all. Truman sought permission from the UN. Korea was the first war we fought with one hand tied behind our backs, Korea led the US down the path of limited warfare which led to the mess the US government made out of Vietnam.
Korea was Truman’s, and he blinked.
