Former Obama aides push back on Gates [Daley, Axerod]

I find the responses to this book interesting. This seems to almost confirm it:

AxleGrease: "And there was no declaration on the president's part that he made that decision on a political basis."

[Texas Songwriter]

According to Gates, Obama has continued to send American military men to Afghanistan for political reasons. Americans continued to die for whimsical Obama political reasons. This is the same reason Obamas left 34 people to die at the hand of Anwar al Sharis in Benghazi. That is why Obama and the Beast could not communicate on that night (Sept. 11, 2011). Obama was upstairs either partying or doing drugs or watching his favorite reality show.

No one on FR is surprised by this at all.

Daley & Axelrod... now there’s a credible pair to defend a democrat president from Chicago.

[matginzac]

Too little, too late...
We could have told Gates what Obozo/Clinton/Biden were all about years ago..
would he have listened?
We could have told him that troops were being sacrificed on the libtard altar of political gain years ago...
would he have listened?
We could have told him that congresscritters could care less about how we committ our troops to over seas conflicts...
would he have listened?
Hind sight is a convenient excuse but when it has cost us precious lives on the battlefield, the hind sight turns into criminal negligence.

[Alas Babylon!]

Axelrod is a liar and even when he isn’t bald-faced lying you need to carefully scrutinize his words.

Note how he doesn’t defend Hillary at all!

Note how he said “...there was no declaration on the president’s part that he made that decision on a political basis.”

No, no “declaration”; whatever that means. But he did it just the same. It was about opposing Bush, even beyond the waters’ edge, to get votes and smear opponents. This type of despicableness leads to things like Fast and Furious gun selling to Mexican drug cartels, Benghazi diplomat abandonment to their deaths, and wanting to bomb Syria when the whole world only wants to know the truth...

Is it me or does Axelrod remind you of that uncle you won’t let babysit your kids.

"Still being fought making mincemeat out of our troops because of O'Blahblah's rules of engagement.

This particular Daley, one of six other spawn of the original Mayor Richard J. Daley is just another con and goon of the Daley machine...now known as the Socialist Democratic Party. Disgusting POS to side with communist Axelrod and the communists/socialists/marxists/muslim infiltrators in our government. So proud of ‘ya, Billy, my azz, from a school mate of yours and Ritchie's at Nativity.

Axelrod IS a slimy communist, from a long line of commies starting with mom and dad. He's fast talking and a slime ball..kick him in the balls when you can.

What really makes this difficult to stomach is the fact that casualties in Afghanistan have tripled under the the Purple Lipped Prince's command.

He does't consider it 'his war'.
