Could not agree more… My nephew is there and if you think I am sleeping soundly at night, think again… Insert any republican president name in there and the media would be all over it. He is off getting the olympics secured, and not Afghanistan.

By that I mean to say I want Gen. McChrystal to succeed.

President Obama has time to fly to Copenhagen, Denmark to schlep for Chicago’s 20016 Olympic bid, but he doesn’t have time to talk to General McCrystal about Afghanistan.

Wasn’t one of his campaign slogans “judgment to lead?” Yeah, not so much apparently.

First, I wonder if Newsweek or TIME will have on their cover a soldier in Afghanistan, pictured with his arms outstretched with a “now what” expression with the headline, “Obama’s Forgotten War.” Since this is a similar treatment they gave to Bush. Somehow, I doubt I’ll see this.

And second, we know that certain democrats wanted Bush to fail in Iraq and Afghanistan as a way to prove that ‘they were right’ about Bush. When you say that you want Obama to fail except in Afghanistan, you need to consider the possibility that maybe Obama couldn’t give a cr*p about Afghanistan, and wants our previous mission there to wither on the vine. He can give a speech that he supports it, but if he’d rather work on the government takeover of our healthcare system, and travel to lobby on behalf of the olympics for Chicago …. and not speak to the commander of Afghanistan for almost 3 months. This is neglect. If Obama’s goal is to have Afghanistan to fail, then I want Obama to fail.

fits the Liberals’ agenda perfectly. There is nothing better to turn off the populace against the war than a well-publicized, steady stream of flag draped coffins.

Once public opinion has been turned, retreat and defeat is acceptable and soon followed by an accelerated destruction of the military which is one of the primary goals of all Liberals. (See Vietnam)

If anybody believes that Obama cares about how many soldiers die while he achieves his political ends of destroying the military, they are a fool.

I hope all the so-called “moderates” who voted for this walking disaster area are sick to their stomachs.

Actually, this sort of thing is a conclusion that I realized a number of years back, and which Mark Steyn has also concluded about obamos.

In the worm-eaten mind of a “progressive” (sic), the main goal is to elevate human society to the highest, terminal endpoint of human social evolution - the western European social welfare state. (Never mind that all of those are crumbling completely to dust - these clowns are theorists who couldn’t care less about results.)

From the very beginning, their basic attitude to the war that was thrust upon us was to curse that d*mn thing - coming along as a distraction and diversion of resources from “the mission.” So now they just want to make the rest of the world go away so that they can concentrate on the “true mission.”

And go back and read this of course:

because I have no idea what his objectives in the region are. When he makes public statements on how he is not seeking victory, and when we have a conflict as horribly-defined as Afghanistan has been, it’s hard for me to say that I even support Pres. Obama on that.

with our military advisers. The less he interferes with them, the more likely they will accomplish what needs to be done while minimizing casualties. What bothers me is that he isn’t willing to back them at any point. Of course, I can’t think of any examples of him backing anyone for something the way Bush did.

I’m guessing General Stanley McChrystal will be relieved of his duties before the end of the year. He’s far too transparent for this “most transparent ever” administration.

and it’s youth crime problem before inviting the world to see what
is not right with America.

Every night I see another Nat Geo special on Gang Wars….

Oakland, LA, Chicago….young black & hispanic youth - 15-18 years old….doing nothing but drugs, alcohol & gang banging….

The parents have lost control. The schools have failed them.
These kids look at doing time as an opportunity to hone their skills.

I say round them all up……
Ship them over to Afghanistan….
Leave them with crates full of weapons, ammo and C-rations and
let them get it on with the Taliban…..

The White House has ended weeks of hesitation over how to respond to the Afghan election by accepting President Karzai as the winner despite evidence that up to 20 per cent of ballots cast may have been fraudulent.

The decision will increase pressure on President Obama to justify further US troop deployments to Afghanistan to prop up a regime now regarded as systemically corrupt.

Emphasis mine: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot ?!?

Want the Afghan election to go the way you want it ?
Simple.
Send ACORN over there.
All of ‘em.
Tonight.
Please.
