He wasn’t brought up with a father.... probably he needs Michelle to tell him what to do.

If he makes a decision and it goes bad, how the hell will he blame Bush? He will own Afghanistan.

Plus, he wants us to lose.

So yes, its difficult for Hussein.

A spokesman for the White House has said that the decision as to whether or not to send troops into Afghanistan is an
"excruciating" decision ?

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Folks, we are in trouble. OF COURSE it is hurtful and extremely difficult for ANY HUMAN BEING as commander in chief to be RESPONSIBLE for sending our young men and women into war....but YOU DO NOT TELL THE TROOPS OR OUR ENEMIES of your' excruciating' dilemma, no, you TELL YOUR TROOPS OF THE VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF WHAT THEY ARE DOING, of your COMPLETE and UNRELENTING SUPPORT AND YOU TELL THE ENEMY 'he' is IN FOR A GENUINE battle to the end.

He meant it’s excruciating because he cares so deeply about the lives our brave servicemen & women.

Excruciating agony is how I would describe the 15 or so military families who have received the worst news possible the last 48 hrs or so.
Meanwhile, the 2.5 million of our money spent by the Obamas on their Copenhagen jaunt wasn’t enough of a break.
They had date night last night at a fancy DC restaurant.
The First Gluttons happily downed their foie gras and Dom Perignon
oblivious to the flag draped coffins piling up at Dover .

It is only a difficult call if you view it as primarily a domestic political issue.

He’s getting all wee-weed up and about to act stupidly. Pop the corn! We owe it to our military and our country to ‘do it right’, but I don’t think Barry’s got what it takes. We will see more attacks on US soil if this region is allowed to host training camps and provide comfortable logistic support for the idiots who wish us dead.

It's "excruciating" because the answer hasn't been displayed on a pair of teleprompters after being percolated up through focus groups.

We are literally a leaderless nation with treason-infested offices and foreign invaders entrenched throughout the land.

And this month, the balloon goes up.

Pray. Shoot. Store. Grow. Prepare.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

He said last week that this is not Americas War, it involves all nations and he wants NATO to take more responsibility so he can BLAME them when it fails

Obama is planning to lose. That IS his strategy. His goal is to do the very minimum until casulties drive public opinion to support a withdrawl even if it’s perceived as another Vietnam.

He’ll just say “we tried,” “we shouldn’t have been there” and “it’s Bush’s fault.”

That’s his strategy. It will work perfectly for him and Democrats and the anti-war freaks.

And it will kill a lot of Americans.
