Obama’s War. Shout it from the rooftops.
I said it on another thread but repeat it:
Since Obama took over the management of the Afghan War, 37 months ago, 1,836 Coalition troops have been killed. During the 87 months under the Bush Administration, 1,069 military were killed.
During the election campaign Obama was preaching that we weren’t focusing enough effort on the Afghan War and he bragged that he would.
I think he NOW is trying to get out of this war before his Administration is responsible for the deaths of TWICE as many Coalition troops in Afghanistan as was Bush. At the historic monthly average of fifty Coalition troop deaths under Obama, he has six months to get out, longer if he lessen their combat exposure.
The election day is eight months away.
And another piece of information:
US SAYS IT’S STEADFAST IN REBUILDING AFGHANISTAN
By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press – 13 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The top U.S. diplomat in Kabul and A CAMPAIGN ADVISOR to President Barack Obama said Sunday the U.S. isn’t rethinking its commitment to Afghanistan after violent protests left more than two dozen people dead, including two Americans shot inside a government ministry.
U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and ROBERT GIBBS , OBAMA’S FORMER PRESS SECRETARY, said they believe Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s fragile government could collapse and the Taliban would regain power if the U.S. were to walk away.

Gibbs????enough to make you sick to your stomach!!!
Exactly. There was a reason we were fighting and drawing the enemy into Iraq and didn't go full bear in Afghanistan. For political expedience, obama decided to step up the fight in Afghanistan to make it look like he was fighting the "right" war. As a result, he messed up the progress our troops made on both fronts.
For a long time I have said we should have started to pull out of Iraq when they had their first free election. After that they can fight and die for their freedom. Not us. Politic’s kept us there. If they cannot keep their own freedom, its their problem and I don’t believe in making the other guys problem, mine....I have enough of my own..

Don’t give up on Afghanistan yet,we can make them fill good about themselves.
Obama tasked the head of the space agency with the “foremost” job of reaching out to dominantly Muslim nations to sure up their belief in their historical achievements in math and engineering.
