What did Ron Paul say that was wrong? Afghanistan IS Obama's War, now; if he screws up the war, he can't blame Bush any more!

Legitimately elected or not, Obama is the Commander in Chief. "The Buck Stops Here". What Ron Paul said is correct -- Obama can no longer blame any mis-management of the War in Afghanistan on anyone but himself. I'd think that any serious conservative would agree with that sentiment.

I didn't comment about the content of Ron Paul's statement, only Ron Paul himself.

When you line up with the likes of Adam Kokesh, Code Pink, and Cynthia McKinny, you are a loon!

They are our enemies(with the possible exception of Kokesh), period; they are not just mistaken, they have taken up, at least rhetorically, arms against the United States, our culture, constitutional government, and us by extension.

On war, we should always set aside politics. The only right thing to do when Americans are fighting war is to support victory, only victory.

It is OUR war. It is in our nations interests to be there and to be successful; then get our people home.
It is OUR neighbors, friends, family serving there. To try to score political points for winning and losing is unseemly.
Obama is incompetent at everything he does; we hope the right thing will get done anyway.
