Article excerpt - “Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton yesterday said Obama is getting “the exact opposite” advice from McChrystal than from other counterinsurgency experts.”

..... Just lovely. Obama himself just recently appointed McChrystal to implement a new Afghan strategy on the grounds that the existing plan was somehow wanting. Now, a mere few months later, it is being not so very delicately implied that McChrystal is some sort of military clown who doesn’t just get it.

There is definitely a clown involved in this political circus, but it is NOT McChrystal. The current occupant of the White House strikes me as nothing less than an amalgam of the worst possible features of Gore, Carter, and Kerry: clueless, irrational, and insufferably arrogant.

“He can send more troops and it will be a disaster and he will destroy the Democratic party. Or he can send no more troops and it will be a disaster and the Republicans will say he lost the war.”

Perhaps he should follow the advice of ACORN and Code Pink. They seem like such nice and enlightened people. They both have always been held in such high esteem by the Democratic party, especially when they were making life difficult for George W. Bush and the Republicans.

Oh, a person could argue that destroying—parties and the country and the economy and our military and our history—is just the beginning.

Obama WILL SEND TROOPS in the end, but he will reduce the number of troops.

The Dems can’t save him if he pisses of the Independent voters.

He cannot “Campaign” his way out of this one, a DECISION IS REQUIRED.

If he Says NO.....his YOU LIE label sticks like Superglue.

Looks like from where Zero is standing it’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. That much pleases me but I worry about the troops and the country. We all will ultimately pay the price regardless.

We can only hope that he does just that.

Obama finally gets a real job and he’s learning how to do it. Unfortunately for all of us, his first real job is the presidency.

I don't know if this was posted here, as it's about 4 months old, but the story of an Afghan warlord/drug baron turned governor working with the US to build irrigation and replace opium with wheat was quite inspiring to me. He'll be the first against the wall when the counter insurgency comes, unless he has a lot of firepower. The Bulldozer

This will be Obama’s Vietnam; Obama will be the next Lyndon Johnson. Afghanistan is a quagmire. I never understood why libs always called it the good war, it is the unwinnable and stupid war.

I think Obama is putting any decision regarding Afghanistan until this annual U.N. meeting is over.Then he will wimp out.

You can’t destroy the dem party. It’s like cockroaches. It will rise again, just more leftist/marxist than before.

I'm late to the thread and know this has been said. First the dems agreed that we should go into Iraq. Time went on and then they lied and said we never should have gone into an ‘unjust’ war.

They said, ‘why aren't we in Afghanistan instead, that's where we should be!”

Now, they want to give up and withdraw just like in Vietnam.

Democrat is another word for LOSER.

ObaMugabe is soooo out of his league. He is not anywhere near ready for prime time.
