obozo won’t micromanage our troops in Afghanistan?
Nope, he just won’t allow enough troops to go there to get the job done of winning.
Instead he allows our undermanned troops to get killed.
f-ing marxist piece of garbage.
Obama ses the Rules of Engagement, which ties the troops hands, then tels them what he wants done and wont give them enough troops to do it.
The strategic command by our generals should be to keep Americans from getting killed in Afghanistan fighting for a President who has abandoned the mission.
That sounds great but the question is:
Should the US run a counterterrorism operation or a counterinsurgency operation.
After you have decided which type of mission you plan to implement, then you can "get the job done of winning".
If you decide to go the counterinsurgency route, you are going to need a lot more troops, and you will have to accept a lot more deaths because there will be many "operating outside the wire", in smaller units, and in remote locations. But if that is what you, Cheney, and McKrystal want, go for it.
