ATTENTION, ATTENTION,stop what ever it is that your doing and tell your friends, your neighbors, call your relatives,alas he has come down from the mountain and he has a plan. The messiah has a plan for the Afganistan war, a plan the he says everyone will follow and everyone will agree with when it is finally unveiled.
I'm thrilled, I may even have a small tingle going up my leg, nope sorry, it was the cat. Hallalua he has a plan, his Commanding General had a plan but what does he know, Obama has a better plan. I'm assuming he learned that at the Harvard war college, wait a minute Harvard doesn't have a war college, actually they won't even allow an ROTC representitive on campus.
Okay, okay, so let me get this straight, Obama has a better plan than someone who has maybe gone to the Newport Navel War College, Annapolis,or West Point, or maybe just learned his war strategy on the job. But the uber liberal has the plan that will save us from the disaster he claims was left, like every other problem he has; from (all together now)the Bush Administration.
This clown has been in office for eleven months and has done absolutely nothing about the Afgan war. The only thing he has done since he got elected, was to jet around the world offering up his "You love me don't you speeches" or a continuation of his "Appoligy Tour", only to show up long enough to step on the neck of someone he needs to vote for his damn health care bill, which by the way, only 38% of the American people want.
He employed General McCrystal to come up with a plan, which he did, then the annointed one deciedes that he as a former "Community Organizer" is better suited to formulate a battle plan than a career soldier. The arrogance of this man is overwhelming, the stupidity monumental. He has held up this decision for months, because Professor Obama was busy studying his options as if he were writing his Masters Thesis. Hey professor, unlike your thesis, people are dying over there, this is not a joke and if you fail, there is more at stake than a failing grade. If I were your mother, I would slap you upside the head and ask you just what the hell are you thinking. I wonder if you would be as cavalier about this decision if one of your children were over there.
I find it a horrible twist of fate, that a man who didn't even have courage to serve his country,now deciedes he is smarter than all who have. And yes, for all you liberals reading this, I did serve from 1969-1973. He is the commander in chief, which leads me to the conclusion that we need a caveat in the chain of command to protect our fighting men and women from this type of political showmanship.
Now we hear from the liberal blowhards on capital hill that we need to enact a war tax. The reason; and I'm paraphrasing here "If we spend the money we have on the war, then we won't have enough money left to do the other things we want to do". When has anything in this country taken priority over winning a war, and can anyone tell me what that should be, because I don't see it.
When you have the lives of men and women, son and daughters, mothers and fathers on the line, how can you look at the people and say we need the money for other things, I fear to say that if that statement were made to our soldiers over there, you may not make it home, because, well, maybe they ran out of bullets because you decieded
to give the money to Acorn instead, or the NEA or what ever pet project you liberals feel is more important than winning this war. I submit to you that after following politics for over thirty years, liberals have a number of projects they consider more inportant than the military.
If I may; as stated, you have had eleven months to figure this out, but you were more concerned with cap and tax, health care, stimulas (slush fund), bailouts, etc. How much money has it cost us over the last eleven months playing stalemate with the Taliban. How much could we have saved if you gave General McCrystal the money and the troops when he asked , and allowed our soldiers to go in, root them out,and kill them. Our troops are the finest in the world, and I would venture to say that if our troops, and their General got what they needed ,when they needed it, the Taliban would be substantially reduced, and they could look forward to coming home, but like your non-trip to the Berlin Wall, you were to busy.
For you who read this and think I have little respect for the President or the office, you're right. When we have someone in the White House who commands respect, I will again respect the man and the office. My father always told me that respect is earned, not handed out like a business card. When this man thinks about our soldiers and the Ameican people before himself, or his socialist policies, maybe, just maybe I'll start to respect him, until then , I will vehemently oppose him as well as any politician who sides with social policy above our troops.
