0bama has checkmated himself because he’s used McChrystal as his own General Petraeus.
He drops McChrystal’s name constantly and keeps insisting that he’s waiting for the General’s assessment. He stated this several times over the weekend, even. Now we come to find out that 0bama has had McChrystal’s assessment, and it calls for a massive troop build up.

So lets see now how 0bama conducts HIS war, the one he said we need to fight and win. The one he said was the RIGHT war.

Our President will most likely send Van Jones over there to run the war. He’s use to street fighting.

Sure he knows what to do, but then his base will revolt! He’s never had to make tough decisions. But it was sooo much easier blasting every move the Former President ever made....

speaking of honorable men, where is Colin Powell who backstabbed Bush for not sending enough troops to Iraq at the beginning of the war?

The blood of every one of our wonderful troops that gets killed or injured is on the hands of that SOB in the White House.
I don’t know how he can possibly explain his hands off policy to the families of these troops. The tragedy is he probably won’t ever face them because he hasn’t the balls!!

From The Times September 18, 2009

Afghanistan is hard all the time, but it’s doable
As in Iraq in 2007,

attacks are frequent and challenges significant. But success is vital for the security of all nations

Gen. David Petraeus

I’m anything but an anti war nut but I can’t see the point of staying if we have a president who has no intent of winning. Or worse, a president who wants to lose.

Ideally Obozo would resign. Granted that would leave Biden in charge but I suspect he knows he isn’t the sharpest crayon in the box and would likely listen to the military leadership. I also don’t believe Biden hates America.

And did everyone call their Representatives and the white house and say SEND MORE TROOPS?

congress.org to contact your Representatives and the white house 1-202-456-1414

While you’re at it, contact Eric Holder and tell him lay off of our C.I.A. guys and investigate ACORN at 1- 202-353-1555

Obama doesn’t want to fight. He doesn’t want to leave

Exactly correct.

He wants to break the Army.

He wants it to be 1974 all over again.

He wants Church hearings, he wants fragging, he wants radical Democrats elected to Congress, most of all he wants a military powerless to resist him.

THAT'S why he will crucify our soldiers and marines in Afghanistan.

The road forward to a socialist America lies over the broken spirit of our soldiers and marines, and that is the only explanation for his actions vis a vis Afghanistan.

Lets pull out our soldiers and let Obama send in his own personal army. I'm sure all those liberals will do fine in Afghanistan.

When is someone in Congress going to grow some testicles and proffer Articles of Impeachment? Whereas the moonbats harped about impeaching Bush there was no basis in fact - Obama’s treason & malfeasance is obvious on so many fronts - where do you start?

It took Tommy Franks 3 weeks to conquer Iraq. Was it Wolf’s plan to put Bremmer and the State Dept in charge to screw things up for a spell?

Ubama is in a heck of a quandary. Does he support normal, traditional America and its troops, or does he appease his base Democrat constituencies of America-hating jack-in-the-box clowns, socialist goofballs, and confused scumbags? What to do, what to do......
