OBAMA IS A MARXIST IDEOLOGUE
Obama is going about systematically, and with a will, bringing the marxist fundamental change he promised. But more and more Americans are awakening to it and will not let it stand.

Obama is refusing a General’s request for REINFORCEMENTS..
So what? Generals ALWAYS want more troops and presidents often turn them down. Bush turned down his generals early in his administration who wanted more troops in Iraq so did LBJ did when Westmoreland wanted 200,000 more (on top of 500K!) in 1968.
Besides, who elected McChystal as God? He wasn't so God-like when he clumsily covered up the truth about Pat Tillman's death.
Bump!
See you got an isolationist Paulbot on your thread.
Of everything Obama has done, this is the most unconscionable, he is truly evil.
Yes, and then Bush listened to General Petraeus and he got his troops and it turned the tides. Bringing up LBJ as justification for Obama not sending more troops. That makes it ok?
IMHO, we have seen the Taliban move in because they know we have a weak President.
Now a question for you: on what basis do you justify giving Obama more of our blood and treasure with (apparently) no strings attached? Are you prepared to defend the consequences here if he asks for and gets those troops?
Why is it “evil” to put formers fighters of the Taliban on the payroll when it is not “evil” to put the Sunnis insurgents who have American blood on their hands on the payroll?
Actually, I believe the evil is the indecision and lack of any sort of plan. If he does not have the stomach to fight this war than say it and bring everyone home. Do I want us to see defeat? No, but I don’t want to see our military sitting ducks while he waits it out.
The “Taliban” are not necessarily Afghani’s, they are zealots that grew out of madrassa’s in Pakistan and have taken over the country. The average Afghani are farmers and nomads, however, they have seen so much war over the years they are just trying to survive. Right now the Taliban come in and will kill the locals in order for them to submit.
In speaking with some Marines that are just back from Helmand Province, the Taliban come in at night, I can understand us having more of a presence but that needs to be backed up by a different policy of ROE, if not, no more troops and they all come home. They can’t sit and wait on indecision!
He must be, but it would be bad enough if he were merely indecisive, in over his head and agonizingly incompetent.
In reality, he shows himself to be all of the above.
What else can be said about the top guy in an administration that is taking seriously the ideas of a complete buffoon like Joe Biden on what to do in Afghanistan at the same time it deliberately attempts to diminish and silence the public assessment of it's top military commander on the ground?
There's more excellent analysis of the reasons for Obama's dithering at the link below..
In analysis...we’re not dealing with a rational POTUS or a rational opponent, they’re one and the same. McChrystal is twisting door knobs.
Excellent piece, Kaplan tells it exactly like it is.
In the eyes of our enemies Obama has already weakened himself and with his ego will never regain their respect.
Even, unfortunately, Jed Babbin, a former JAG officer, either does not understand the Constitution, or has been ordered to be quiet about John Marshall, John Jay, George Washington, C.J. Waite, Alexander Hamilton, Joseph Story, John Bingham - perhaps having been threatened with fomenting civil strife if he dares tell the truth. Ask Mr. Human Events Babbin to cite any supreme court decision which does not use the common law definition of natural born citizen cited above. There are none, while there are at least ten citiations of "born on the soil of parents who are citizens." It is a simple truth.
Ridicule is a potent weapon on weak men and women. The strife will probably come anyway, and could be worse as Obama’s team of Marxists destroys our economy. We have a great Constitution, but many men and women who, for a variety of reasons, protect only those provisions which suit their fancy. At least Obama told everyone that this Constitution prevented him from redistributing wealth, and suggested, along with FDR, a second bill of rights. We have hundreds of prominent pundits and politicians who are more devious because they know the truth and pretend they don't.
We seem to agree for the most part. Shades of LBJ, Obama is splitting the difference and that is worse than either alternative.
