America and the President have checked out on the Afghan War.

Our troops are fighting a foreign war and how many days did it make the leading news last month?

Very good comments by everyone, thank you!

The story, kinda buried in the article:

Unfortunate Revelation: Obama uninformed and unconcerned
with war effort in Afghanistan to defeat Islamic Terrorism

The startling and disturbing news that Afghanistan Commanding General Stanley McChrystal found President Obama uninformed and unconcerned about the war in Afghanistan has been front page news.  But what bothers us it that the media has ignored the most disturbing detail of the story.

General McChrystal got in trouble for voicing his frustrations and difficulties in working with Obama and his administration on the war in Afghanistan. Let’s not forget the most important detail was that McChrystal feels Obama and his people are checked out. They’re not paying attention to the war.

Ironically, Obama has turned to General David Petraeus to take his place.  This is the same General that was criticized for wanting a surge of troops in Iraq.  Democrat Senator Harry Reid even said the war in Iraq was lost, and he wanted American troops to withdraw as losers rather than follow the Petraeus strategy to win the war – which our military did brilliantly.


Obama opposed the Iraq war, claiming that Afghanistan was the real war.  Now, we hear from the top General that Obama was uninformed and disinterested.  Do you know how dispiriting this is to our troops in the field?  They are feeling abandoned by their own President.

Our troops are not getting the attention they deserve! There is a frustration that with all the domestic turmoil, the bailouts, Obama’s domestic agenda he keeps pushing, and the outrage at his handling of the BP oil spill, our troops are getting LOST in the tide of the news cycle!

I think ideas just float around Obama's brain and when one grabs a synapse out it comes from his purple haze.

Fires one General and hires another one who his handler Soros spent probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to hang the new one with the title General BetrayUs.

Oops, wait a minute. That is what they want in a General!

I just found this thread, Go New General!
