He should bring the legions home to fight the Tryant in the White House.
Cross the Rubicon, Gen McChrystal.

Obama’s czars are probably building re-education camps in Guam for the returning American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, but they’re not done yet...

"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?"

Most likely. Wolfowitz said we would be welcomed with flowers and oil would pay for it all. When all that didn't work it became the purple finger, nation building mission creep that keeps us hanging on. Of course since more troops were out, there was always contractors.

No...why? because Obama isnt interested in our Armed Forces

they are their until he can get his own Army going...he is not interested in the results of this war...he is going to fight his own war....with his own army and in his words....”they will be bigger, better and better funded” than our own military!!!!!

call the WH and ask them what he meant by this.

They have had the report since August and don’t want to make a decision for 6-8 weeks...why? Do you not trust your leaders in the field?

This is why I hate Dhimmirats as leaders-especially in war time. The only reason they are delaying is to not hurt their chances for passing a bunch of domestic garbage. What else could possibly be the reason to wait 2 months while soldiers are getting killed and wounded and the situation is getting worse?

Ubam is being pushed to the wall.

Does he really want to win? And what defines “victory”?

Or does he want to lose because having “his own war” is harder to handle than Bush made it seem.

Win? Or lose? Decision 6 weeks?

FoxNews reported this morning that Obama Admin wants to wait 6-8 weeks before making a decision about adding more troops.

DU bit**ed about how long President Bush took to make a decision on 9-11 He took something like 7 - 10 mins. to get the ball rolling. Meanwhile this a** needs 6-8 weeks !

There is no room in this administration for a patriot.

Is Wolfowitz available to tell him he doesn't need troops and it will be a cakewalk?

Zing!

Odd. I seem to remember Wolf’s plan was to leave General Garner in charge after Franks initial assault.

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

Yup, never forget he is a hard core leftist, so deep down in his core being he HATES the military and sacrificing our soldiers is simply an act of a radical revolutionary to achieve his goals.

They are his collateral damage to achieve his Marxist dreams

...................Was it Wolf’s plan to put Bremmer and the State Dept in charge to screw things up for a spell?.............

Even with Bremer in charge we were making great progress in winning over the Iraqi citizens.

Then Lyndee England, Karpinski, and their ilk, got the full NYT press picture treatment, and the Iraqi’s got the impression that the US considered them muslim scum. Then the infighting and civil war began, amidst a lack of government leadership.

I say that the NYT and the MSM did the most harm to extend the war, still ongoing as we speak!
