It depends on the GOP. They don’t have to say anything, since it’s Obama’s ‘War’.
The GOP has enough ammo to go after the Dems in 2010, if we make it.
:-)
Do you think the RATS in Congress would vote to deny him if he asks for more troops?
Rats fleeing a sinking ship will do many different things.
It depends on the Rat, if it’s a anti-war rat, they might vote against it. The Blue dogs, might have to do something else.
The Big O has the “right” as Commander in Chief to be skeptical, of course. But like LBJ, he has neither the education nor experience nor the will to make his skepticism worth the proverbial bucket of warm spit. His self-importance, like LBJ’s, is going to get a lot of our soldiers and airmen killed.
I have many friends in Afghanistan and Iraq, and more going. I pray for them daily.
Whose side is he on?
That is a reasonable answer. :-)
Can you please provide links these stories? I have not run into anything that is more than chatter.
” “We think the time for decision is now.
As Senator [John] McCain has pointed out, when you delay a decision like this, you may be arguably endangering the lives of our soldiers,” McConnell said on CNN. “
May be ??? Heeelllooooo
I don’t know one military family who has any confidence in Barry as CinC.
Because of his political dithering and waffling ,
his crap ROEs which handcuff the troops and cost lives,
his suffocation of the intelligence community and
his overwhelming disdain for the military and America.
All during the campaign, Macho Man bragged that he was going to be a better Commander in Chief than GW,
that he was going to “ kill “ Osama bin Laden and in fact, he was going to invade Pockeystan.
The troops would have everything they need to fight the WOT.
And now, he flicks the troops and the war effort away like a he flings a cigarette butt onto the White House lawn.
It’s good that Republicans are starting to emerge from their slumber and challenging Obama’s
laissez-faire attitude toward the war and troop deaths.
I fear what it’s going to take to finally wake up every American .
And more and more are starting to murmur that Obama is undercutting and abandoning our troops in war time ,
on purpose.
Well said and the first thing to be done is change the ROE so our troops can protect themselves.
Prayers for them all that are in harms way.
This wouldn’t be the first surge he was skeptical of. He’s invaribly wrong.
Whatever doesn’t fit the idological template does not exist or did not happen. Simple as that. Dang those pesky facts. Why don’t they just go away?
So now Onada declares himself Napoleon—military strategist extraordinaire. What a guy, what a man, what an idiot.
Like a true liberal he thinks he knows more about the military than the military.
We didn’t have to lose Vietnam.
We lost because of liberals here.
We might still lose Iraq and Afghanistan.
It will be because of liberals here.
I think he thinks that the best way to deal with all of these conflicts is to decrease the power of the US and thus lead others to not resent us. It's all our fault. If only we were ‘fair’ and less rich and took better care of our ‘people of color’ the world would love us and we would all live in perfect socialist harmony.
I agree...For sane people Afghanistan is not another Vietnam but for liberals it is and if they have their way it could in fact turn out the same. They either don’t learn from history or learn too well, probably the latter.
Yes he did and he would, IMO.
The guy can’t even come up with a plan for his healthcare boondoggle. He won’t say what he wants with it cause he can’t commit and risk losing support. Same thing here. He is the undecider.
That’s ok: The troops are skeptical of Obama as well.
The list, ping
