The guy who can’t get legislation passed and executive orders written fast enough is going to do his impression of selecting a church on this issue. That’s just great.

He’s trying to put lipstick on a pig.
Fact is, he’s Mr. Dithers.

“To support our troops and mission is to anger those who we differ with and we shouldn’t seek victory.

It’s best for me to give some hope to my anti-American base. And I’m going to hold out and give them hope for America’s defeat as much as possible.”

Obama

he will dog it as long as he can because it is not nearly as important to him as health care.
any decision he makes will upset people somewhere and he doesn’t want to have to make up for that with the health care debate on now.

This is something he should be called on NOW by republicans.
FORCE his hand. He is just showing that he can not make a decision!

One small problem, Grasshopper. You made that decision back in March.

It’ll be interesting to find out what’s really behind this.

I think he wants out for his own political purposes. He’s going to use the Afghan election as the beginning of his excuse. He doesn’t want to spend anymore money there and he wants to shore up his base. The biggest gesture would be pulling out of Afghanistan. He’ll blame the blood bath on Bush, and the sooner he pulls out the easier it will be to blame Bush and others. Nobody will ever trust us again, but that’s fine with the Marxists. In fact, that works to their advantage.

You know there is trouble when the head stops watching the tennis game. Zer0’s neck must be quite flexible.

Idiot in Chief doesn’t get it that his inability to make a commitment is what is putting OUR troops at greater risk.

Hey Obama your either in it to win it or get the hell out.

What a gutless, traitorous wonder, Obama is. He will allow our troops to suffer casualties rather than engaging the enemy for fear of upsetting his leftist friends before the state and local elections in New Jersey and Virginia.

Has anyone heard that Obama may offer the taliban money to stop the resurgence in Afghanistan?

How long does it take to tell the commanders to organize a withdrawal? I mean, that’s what his idiot fans were voting for right?

I knew he had a hard-on for invading Pakistan, but I think I was the only one paying attention to him in the debates where he kept saying he wanted to take the war to them.

It doesn’t seem like it should have taken so long.

By the way, exactly what is our purpose there? Fight the War on Drugs?

This occupation is stupid and a repeat of mistakes of empires past. The military did a great job routing the Taliban. We should have left then and said “don’t make us come back and kick your ass again”.
