On war, we should always set aside politics. The only right thing to do when Americans are fighting war is to support victory, only victory.

Yes, and that is the point, Obama isn't going for victory, he is looking for an escape hatch.

That's ridiculous.

If Obama announced tomorrow, "As Commander-in-Chief I am ordering all US Military units to immediately commence a land, sea, and air campaign of annihilation against the terrorist State of Israel -- Allahu Akbar!", would you say that we should support "victory, only victory"?

NO! Such an imperialistic campaign of aggression against Israel would unquestionably be an immoral and unjust war. When considering such an immoral and unjust war, the proper Christian, Patriotic, and Pro-Troops response would be to demand, "End the War and bring the Troops home!"

Even if one believes, "My Country, Right or Wrong" (and I sympathize with this sentiment, even if I didagree with it), that's a sentiment which STILL falls far short of, "Whatever-President-Obama-orders-the-Troops-to-do, Right or Wrong"!
