WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

Great, we pull out. The Taliban takes back over. They train more terrorists. We’re attacked again.

All that sacrifice by our troops—from missing births of children, and special holidays with their loved ones, to losing limbs and even losing their lives—for NOTHING!!

I absolutely despise Zero. Despise him!

Bring them home. All of them. From South Asia, the middle east, Europe, South korea and Japan. Bring them home, along with their spouses, kids, and their billions of dollars.

Let the rest of the world put up with the BS.

If you don’t want to win, and if you want to see more good men and women die for a campaign pledge...bring them home. We shouldnt fight if we dont fight to win,

We are looking weak to the rest of the world right now. I expect we and Israel will be attacked again in the very near future.

obumber is an idiot, he wants out of Afghanistan at any cost. He does not realize that as soon as we are out of Afghanistan the terrorist will move back to Iraq. Then we will start taking a beating there and he will want to get out of there. He will lose in both Afghanistan and Iraq and the media will blame it all on Bush. During all this, the dollar is going to collapse. So ya, I’m optimistic.

This is so “Jimmy Carter”. Analyze the snot out of all the options while doing nothing and reading the polls to see what not to do next.

Nope Obama is Clinton II

Zero wants credit for brilliant strategic decisions he’ll never take.

And the media will give him that credit, as will half the American people.

This country has failed its brave soldiers.

He’s just having a hard time getting the
“Consensus” he wants, so he doesn’t have to
bear the responsiblity all by himself.

Reading that, maybe we’re where he thinks we are now because he failed in some of those earlier jobs in the zone.

The Left has spoken.

Hussein will obey.

If we aren’t going to fight to win, bring all the troops home RIGHT NOW!

Win? - Nope!

Lose? - Nope!

"I got it! I got it! - PRESENT!"

To paraphrase Patton: I’d rather have a Nazi division in front of me, than Obama behind me.
