I predict serve losses in the off year elections will cause the left to turn on him. Obama in turn will bail out of Afghanistan before 2012 to avoid disaffected leftists from voting Green Party in 2012.

Which picture is goofier? Obama on the “girlie bike” or Dukakis in the tank?

Well done, Haystack.

It is sad that you had to write this.

With your condemnation of POTUS (and MSM) indifference, let me make two points:

Increasing the fighting force in Afghanistan with the objective of driving the bad guys out of areas they have occupied will naturally result in more casualties on both sides.

AQI having been soundly trounced, but not eliminated, we should expect to see increased AQ activity in Yemen, Somolia and, by those who really want to take on the “Infidel-Crusader”, in Afghanistan.

We cannot expect the anti-war leftists to comprehend this, but it pays for us who understand the nature of the GWOT to keep it in mind.

His actions speak louder than his words…and he’s screaming those words every chance he gets but the majority of the media do what they can to provide him cover.
Look at his decisions. What was it like 70+% thought the mosque should be relocated out of sensitivity and respect for the victims. He comes out for it.
He knows the numbers on peoples feelings about illegal immigration yet right now he has a team out right dismissing deportation cases in mass. The border is ignored and there are parts of Arizona, USA where American citizens aren’t safe to travel. He begins back door amnesty.
Fighting terrorism? They can’t make up their minds Military Tribunal or Civilian Court…..we know they are enemy combatants and Tribunals are the correct path but what does this administration give us? Nothing….nothing at all. As a matter of fact the the Military case against the USS Cole bombers has been “shelved” for now AND the Federal case against the 9-11 plotters is stalled…..It’s like Obama and his administration aren’t even on the USA’s side.
Every choice, decision, action has been against what the majority of Americans want and a detriment to the country.
He won’t be happy until the whole country is dependent on the government to survive.

This post is a sad rant made all the more pathetic because you seek to use the sacrifices of our fallen soldiers to score “points” against a politician that you don’t like. skorrent1 was sympathetic in simply pointing out the massive error in your logic.

You can find the bias in their own videotapes: if you could stand watching them, the Big 3 News at 6:30 back in W. Bush days would ALWAYS lead with the anchor’s tragic and disgusted voice saying: “TWO MORE AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVE DIED TODAY IN IRAQ, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO…”

And behind the fake tragedy and the fake disgust was an absolute glee that Iraq would bring down W. Bush and the Republicans, even though Dems had trumpeted and beat their breasts for a removal of Saddam as much as anyone else.

Iraq is now a success…because MAObama is president and is withdraweing the troops. And how much mention was there that 14 Iraqi cities were bombed last Wednesday in co-ordinated attacks, apparently as an in-your-face response to MAObama’s withdrawal of our troops?

The Wall Street Journal ran an article on the weekend about how it took 3 decades for South Korea to establish a stable democracy after the truce. America needs to be reminded about this, especially given the lack of proper History teaching in the schools.

My son was home on leave last week. If you think the TROOPS arent watching this , you’d be wrong. They know a failure in leadership when they see it too. Today, the Golfer-in-Chief is taking time from his golf game to vist the TROOPS and supposedly to chat with GWB. He’d be better off saving the jet fuel for AF1, but this narcissist thinks a photo op might help his “numbers”. pitttooooey!
This clown is getting our TROOPS killed by his incompetance and for THAT he should be impeached.

Remember this POTUS asked his general on the ground what he needs to win this, and was told a surge of 70,000 ASAP that waiting would be losing and require more. At the ABSOLUTE minimum, he needed 40,000 right away.

This POTUS waited months to make the decision to send in 39,000 troops phased in over a year’s time, while other troops are cylced out. Does anyone have the numbers? During this year did we ever really have 39,000 more troops in Afghanistan than we had when Gen. McChrystal made his request for the necessary force to win this conflict?

I would wager not.

Those mountainous regions where the Taliban practice need a little shock and awe to have them run right into us and take them out. Namby pamby will not cut it with them.

Gone are the days of the incessant tallying of the body count.
The contrived angst over the “cost” of war.
The pictures of caskets are no longer peddled to the public.
The face of death made from the faces of the dead.
The unceasing calls for investigations and prosecutions.

All we now hear is a deafening silence.
A matter of fact accounting of events like sports scores.

The dishonesty of the legacy media outlets is negligent bordering on criminal malpractice.

We are playing by the democrat rulebook now.

All the rules change when we use their rulebook. It has nothing to do with the Constitution and even though it seems like hypocrisy, it is just a different set of rules.

The rule is: they do whatever they want to do and we are racists and bigots.

now. (No, I don’t post very often, but I read RS daily and learn something of value with everything I read here.)

Now that he’s finished two combat tours in Iraq, he’s taking a little break. Time to find out what the college kids were doing these past four years while he was busting his arse as a machine-gunner and weapons instructor in 112 degree heat and freezing dust storms. He’s finding college pretty damned easy. He tells me that if they call him up for duty in the other desert (which they may), he’ll go willingly. Maybe he can help out his two cousins, both West Point grads, who will soon be on their way to Kandahar.

My heart aches for the families who are getting those devastating visits from Soldiers and Marines in uniform today. They do not deserve the additional pain of knowing their children died serving under a Commander-in-Chief who cares nothing for their sacrifice.

We have the power to put a stop to this dictatorship. And we will.

One question we must ask is “Why?” Why are we there? Fighting terrorists we made in previous decades to fight the Soviets? Or, could it be Oil? There are undeveloped oilfields in 4 of the “Stan” nations; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. But they are landlocked by Russia, China, Afghanistan, Iran. How do they get the precious oil to the Persian Gulf? A pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan is the likely answer. Our involvement in these never-ending “Police Actions” always involves money. Usually trade route and/or resources to be collected. In a true War there is a victor who occupies a completely crushed enemy. When was the last time that happened? 1945?
