Obama On Afghanistan

[eastariel]

"War on Terror"??????????

That's like trying to get clean by jumping down the hole of a porto-potty.

It sounds like he's saying: as soon as we have peace we'll stop waging war.

How about this: as soon as we stop waging war, we'll have peace.

Mr. Sparkle, learn to think backwards.

[eastariel]

I have an idea, Mr. Sparkle.

Let's bring our soldiers back home from Afghanistan. This war on terror cannot be won through conventional means, so let's be unconventional!

Let's send our brightest American superheroes around the world to chase down those Al Qaeda criminals. The CIA and special forces can track them down and put them behind bars where they belong.

Have you ever sent an elephant to catch a mouse? Doesn't work. Send a cat instead. Send a small, stealthy, brilliant team with claws.

"as soon as violent extremism can be contained" - a politician telling the truth for once - he knows, as well as all of us know, that that is going to be NEVER.

"Our president likes to be on both sides at once.

...In Afghanistan, he wants to go but he wants to stay. He’s surging and withdrawing simultaneously. He’s leaving fewer troops than are needed for a counterinsurgency strategy and more troops than are needed for a counterterrorism strategy — and he seems to want both strategies at the same time. Our work is done but we have to still be there. Our work isn’t done but we can go." --Maureen Dowd, New York Times, June 26, 2011

When this guy continues Bush's CFR foreign policy, think of all the people who have lost their life savings, got foreclosed on, and are having their cars repossessed. Oh, but we'll be out of Iraq by 2010 correct? WRONG!! He'll tell you he's pulling them out by Sep. 2010, but there will be a substantial troop presence left. He lied just like Polisi did before the 06' elections. All about power. Those of you who voted for Nader, atleast you voted against these wars, well done.

END THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN NOW, OBAMA!! The people have spoken, and you sound like BUSH in this speech!! If you continue these disgusting, needless wars, I'm voting for the other guy next time (3rd Party)
