it shows how clueless the left are seeing as most of them never serve.

we have outposts which need more troops and we need more troops for those more out of reach patrols .
Maybe if the left had a brain they would realise that electing the American idol with no experience costs more lives

Very insightful.

May I also suggest a latent Muslim sympathy ?

I do NOT believe he is a practicing Muslim, but that is his entire impressionable youth, i.e. "bring up a child in the way that he should go," etc.

I don't think we can dismiss this powerful sway on his "inner child", evidenced by his kow-tow to the Saudi Prince Abdullah.

You write what I can't bring words to express.

You are absolutely correct that 0bama is capable of waging war.

It's just that he does not see the Muslims in Afghanistan or Iraq as his enemies.

He sees US, traditional "clingers to guns and religion" of the Conservative Right, as those who he wishes to take down.

This man is a walking nightmare, far more unbalanced than any other man who has held that office.

He just covers it up with "cool."

Hence the photos of him, sitting in the Oval Office with his feet on the desk.

Usurper.

...hundreds of thousands of Afghans who trusted us will end up dead along with many hundreds more of our own.

Thanks for the reminder of those real people there.

During the thiry years since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the subsequent war of the warlord//mujahadeen/Islamists, over 1,000,000 Afghanis died.

How quickly we have forgotten the news post-Taliban, when women could leave their houses and children could fly their kites.

He looks a little “limp-wristed” IMHO.

Please see my reply #15 which is in keeping with your observations.

“He just covers it up with cool”

This why people voted for him, and the same reason people supported Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.

If his daughter was in Afghanistan, no amount of troops would be enough. He is a total scumbag. And I will keep calling him what he is, even after free speech is outlawed.

Obama is a cowardly self absorbed America/Troop hating traitor as far as I am concerned.

Hasn't got the guts to be a real American who can make right decisions cause he is sold out to the leftists and others that hate America.

I'm steaming mad, and so are Military families.

Bless Cheney for calling the wee wee'ed up little pipsqueak out for his sissy little dithering!

Obama lies and dithers, and American Patriotic Troops DIE!

That may be a photoshop. I’m not sure, and don’t recall where I got it from.

Golfing: 96 hours. Afghanistan strategy sessions: 20 hours.

White House Spokesferret Robert Gibbs announced that Obama met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff to discuss the war in Afghanistan. Gibbs bragged that Obama will have spent 20 hours on Afghanistan strategy sessions (after today, of course). Gibbs even called this 20 hours over nine months "an extensive and exhaustive review" of the situation.

Meanwhile, Obama has played golf 24 times in the same period. Let's see... 24 sets of golf at about four hours a pop... that's 96 hours on the links, and that doesn't count the drive to and from the course.

Leadership is all about priorities. And apparently, golf is about five times as important to Obama as the life and death struggle in Afghanistan. Perhaps Gen. McChrystal can buy a set of Pings to get a little more face time with the CinC.
