This Afgan fiasco is playing out about how I thought it would. Very dismal indeed. All our troops who made the ultimate sacrifice are better individauls and Patriots than Obama and his minions could ever be. Would rather see the Marxists in DC six feet under than these fine individuals. Yes, the US Armed Forces are about to be thrown under the bus and more will die needlessly bacause of our Idiot In Chief.

That letter sums up the way that I feel. I just want Obama to make a decision, one way or the other. If he is not willing to send the troops needed for victory than we must get our heroes out of there.

Obama is getting ready to throw our fine men & women in the Armed Forces under the bus.

Now they will go quietly, they will remember this insult to them.

I can’t help but wonder what our fine military men and women must think and feel. God help us! We need a real man to be C&C not this snot nosed man child that seems to think games are more important than our military.
THANK YOU to all the brave souls that serve. It means alot to
those of us that sleep a little better at night knowing you are there. God Bless each and every one of you.

I too hope things start getting done right in Afghanistan. My son just got back home in August from his second tour of duty in Iraq…now in 3 weeks he will be headed to Afghanistan for 11months. At least this time he will get paid a little more since he will be a ‘consultant’…training the Afghan soldiers how to fight the rebels.

Obama will adopt the Biden position and pull most troops out except around Kabul and we will fire a few hell-fire missiles at isolated huts in the mountains killing one or two terrorist leaders while claiming a tactical victory and the war will go on and on and on. Americans will continue to die and soon, very soon be confined to fortess Kabal because venturing far from that encircled city will mean running into more and more IED’s. Thats how I see it. Oh yes, McChrystal will resign if his request is rejected, he can’t stand in command, because he has already said we will lose if more troops are not sent and to command forces remaining there after making such a statement is impossibe—the question will be what other general may follow him into retirement. This could be another MacArthur moment. Enough of my crystal ball image.

Longstreet, you may very well be correct. Someone WILL take a fall, Afghanistan needs to be addressed NOW, and a 30-40K man surge is the most logical approach…

Or, get the hell out and hang our heads in shame…

McChrystal should have had his resignation ready to hand deliver to Obama at that meeting. I cannot get past the feeling that he is being set up to take the fall for Obama when Afghanistan tanks.

BHO’s own narcissism tanked the deal with the OIC. And that rejection was a real slap in the face to BHO. He doesn’t realize the insult, of course.

That BHO spent more time worrying about impressing the OIC than in consulting with the commander on the ground for the war in Afghanistan is beyond despicable. BHO is unfit to be President.
