How does obama sleep at night? He can’t have any conscious, he must be some kind of psychopath.
One more reason why Barry and compnay are failing in Afghanistan...
lets leave now , food people dying because of this.
Yeah, I’m sure our soldiers won’t mind risking their lives for this “catch and release” charade. [/s]
So when does the military stop fighting for Obama and start fighting for America again?
Time to pull our troops out until we get a pro-American government again. ***
Time to take back our country however which way we have to before our government gets us all killed.
To be fair, we mustn't forget clinton's bombing of Milosevics forces battling the muslim terrorist/drug cartel KLA.
He must just hate America so much that he sleeps like a baby.
There will be a point where we finally say to the Afghans, “We've done what we can, it's up to you now.”
Obama is an absolute moron.....
The morale of out troops is going to go downhill pretty fast. Our troops should not be fighting if placed under these conditions. I say, if this are going to be "Obama's Rules", then get them the hell outa there.
I saw a report that before we went there, Afghanistan supplied 12% of the world’s Heroin. Now it is 92%. That’s some great progress. So maybe Obama’s plan is to make war on us to see if we can turn it into an economic boom. Either that or we all become junkies.
I think the best plan is to pull out. If terror groups do anything to us, just go back and carpet bomb.
All we’ve really done so far is protect the world supply of heroin.
or we could just take no prisoners and rely on intel from the citizenry. That might be the better choice.
Where did you get information on this? It seems like every day I find new reasons to despise the dems.
Clinton’s bombing of Yugoslavia was a subject of great interest at FreeRepublic as it was occurring.
The KLA: from ‘Terrorists’ to ‘Partners’
The Kosovo Liberation Army “began on the radical fringe of Kosovar Albanian politics, originally made up of diehard Marxist-Leninists (who were bankrolled in the old days by the Stalinist dictatorship next door in Albania) as well as by descendants of the fascist militias raised by the Italians in World War II” [”Fog of War — Coping With the Truth About Friend and Foe: Victims Not Quite Innocent,” New York Times, 3/28/99].
The KLA made its military debut in February 1996 with the bombing of several camps housing Serbian refugees from wars in Croatia and Bosnia [Jane’s Intelligence Review, 10/1/96].
The KLA (again according to the highly regarded Jane’s,) “does not take into consideration the political or economic importance of its victims, nor does it seem at all capable of seriously hurting its enemy, the Serbian police and army. Instead, the group has attacked Serbian police and civilians arbitrarily at their weakest points. It has not come close to challenging the region’s balance of military power” [Jane’s, 10/1/96].
That’s from U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee found at http://www.fas.org/irp/world/para/docs/fr033199.htm
In that same statement it was reported:
In view of such tactics, the Clinton Administration’s then-special envoy for Kosovo, Robert Gelbard, had little difficulty in condemning the KLA (also known by its Albanian initials, UCK) in terms comparable to those he used for Serbian police repression:
” ‘The violence we have seen growing is incredibly dangerous,’ Gelbard said. He criticized violence ‘promulgated by the (Serb) police’ and condemned the actions of an ethnic Albanian underground group Kosovo Liberation Army (UCK) which has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks on Serb targets. ‘We condemn very strongly terrorist actions in Kosovo. The UCK is, without any questions, a terrorist group,’ Gelbard said.” [Agence France Presse, 2/23/98]
Mr. Gelbard’s remarks came just before a KLA attack on a Serbian police station led to a retaliation that left dozens of Albanians dead, leading in turn to a rapid escalation of the cycle of violence. Responding to criticism that his earlier remarks might have been seen as Washington’s “green light” to Belgrade that a crack-down on the KLA would be acceptable, Mr. Gelbard offered to clarify to the House Committee on International Relations:
“Questioned by lawmakers today on whether he still considered the group a terrorist organization, Mr. Gelbard said that while it has committed ‘terrorist acts,’ it has ‘not been classified legally by the U.S. Government as a terrorist organization.’ “ [New York Times, 3/13/98]
That statement about KLA not being classified legally by the U.S. Government has been disputed. The State Department at one time listed the KLA on their website as terrorists. It has been scrubbed.
There was one reference to the terrorist listing that survived the scrubbing but a lot of years have passed and may not be available anymore. I might have a link to it somewhere. If I find it, I’ll post it.

‘We’re pinned down:’ 4 U.S. Marines die in Afghan ambush
“U.S. commanders, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines — despite being told repeatedly that they weren’t near the village.”

Not the one I had in mind but it works.
The whole things is absolutely sickening. How anyone can support our current govt is beyond me.
this story should be everywhere.
