Oliver North takes after the President today:
It’s already the front edge of winter in America’s Great Plains. Here, where the air is clear and crisp, there is a passion for walking behind a good dog while hunting pheasants and a good “alibi” for missing a fast-flying bird is an art form.
“It was too low for a good shot,” or “I didn’t want to hit the dog,” will get the tale-teller extra credit for “prudence” — once or twice. But if creative excuses exceed the number of birds brought home for dinner, a hunter soon loses the respect of his peers. Even the dogs recognize someone who is better at spinning yarns than bagging game.
That’s Mr. Obama’s problem with the fight in Afghanistan. He hasn’t been willing or able to pull the trigger on a decision about what to do — and now he’s running out of alibis.
Politics and War
Duke Friday, October 23rd at 10:56AM EDT (link)Obama could care less about what some mere “General” says about what’s needed in any given war zone. What’s important, in an all-consuming manner, is what’s needed to get reelected. And what’s needed is that the far left’s needs are met first.
Whenever a liberal (aka Democrat) is in office the military is left swinging in the wind.
O can't fight two wars at once.

Let’s face it, there are threats and than there are Threats and a man has to go where his heart, and ambition, take him.
What a guy !

War on healthcare
War on Fox
He is an empty suit that is all talk and when it comes to action and decision-making, he can’t do it. He shows up and people throw money and kisses to him. He can only go on ‘friendly’ shows.
It is all about him, his image.
Meanwhile Gates is left to go begging from NATO
bk Friday, October 23rd at 11:41AM EDT (link)I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I read this.
So Gates flies over to Europe to ask NATO to commit more troops to Afghanistan while his own boss has been too busy the past three months shooting hoops and hosting bands at the WH and flying to Europe to push for Chicago Olympics and going to $15,000 a plate fundraisers and trying to shut down Fox News and waiting for honest Afghani elections and (fill in the blank) to be able to develop his plan for a plan for stalling making any decisions.
Gates is heartened because some of the allies say … well I don’t know it seems to me like they said pretty much the same thing Obama has said. “We’re thinking about maybe doing it someday.”
Gates might be the only man

Seriously

And Truman, God bless him, had the guts to make a hard choice that to this day has probably kept the world out of Nuclear War.
Our enemies are watching his weakness on display. Russia and China are busy taking notes.
