If we leave Afghanistan expect the attacks within the U.S. to skyrocket. We have three cases right now in the news, all foiled....our luck will run out.

” Even asking for the contingency plan and letting that leak would be a terrible blunder. “

Just putting this out as a trial balloon is the act of a moron .
What local would even consider aligning with and helping the US troops now ??
The tactical move for the locals now would be to side with the Taliban.
Which will guarantee more US military and coalition deaths.
First the ROEs and now this.
Obama should be in an orange jumpsuit awaiting arraignment on treason charges.

The daily award is the STUCK ON STUPID award winner.

I believe he’s won that award more than several times.

It’s all good though. The Man’s going to lay some wrap on those brothers of the book, and they’ll hand over all there C4, rat poison, and ball bearings. Then they’ll load up the hookah with some Lebanese Blonde Hash and smoke themselves a peace treaty.

It’ll be all Bob Marley and Al Green, you see.

I agree with you, bring them home.
But are they talking about bringing them home or just pulling them out of Afghanistan? (that's the question)

Vietnam all over again. The stinking leftist dimocrats are responsible for the loss of Vietnam to the communists. Now OStalin will be responsible for his beloved muzzies taking Afghanistan back again and everything done there, every death will be A TOTAL WASTE JUST AS VIETNAM WAS!!!

Our elections had plenty of fraud for Obama so why doesn’t he leave here.

What did he give to the Russian President for us to pull out?

I had the opinion that Obama couldn't do that much damage to our national security in 4 years.

So, did you vote for him?

Your tag would indicate NO

Among the many, many unforced errors made by Obama since Jan 20, this has the be the biggest and the worst. And will put him in positive numbers on the next Ras survey..

In the Ras index thingy of plus/minus it will, for a while. But the overall approval will not move much, for a while. When the consequences for such a rash (stupid) move are felt and can perhaps even be measured on the reichter scale for a few concentric miles around the crater, those polls will take a dive.

This is very simple. Gen McChrystal said more troops or I quit. Obama either had to do the right thing or appease his base. He will always appease his base since that is from where his adulation comes. Without that hero worship crap, he cannot even exist for in his mind he has become some sort of hero.

GWB predicted that the weight of the office would alter obama. It did but not in the humbling way that I think W had in mind. Instead, it has turned him into an even crazier person who must be on TV 24/7 and will squash dissent in the way handiest at the moment...which makes him much more dangerous. Clinton at least had an instinct for self preservation politically. obama has nothing like that; he has no since of the middle road or the mindset of independents. He will not fool them twice.
