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. Just because it is "our" war does not mean we are going to win.
Is it "unseemly" to tell the truth?
Hope is not a strategy. Neither is trying. 0bama does not even use the term "win". Get out now and save lives until we get an administration that can prosecute a war and win.
We will win if we want to. Pulling out would be incredibly damaging to our nations interests.
Having a President who is incompetent, is also incredibly damaging to our nation.
We did have a choice in Nov 2008, and we as nation chose incorrectly. Whatever the faults, McCain/Palin would have at the least run a proper foreign policy.
What's happening today is what the election was all about.
