Obama Says He Will Not Rush Afghanistan Decision

[rw5791]

afghanistan descends into chaos.Karzai is illegitimate.I know it,you know it,the whole world knows it.I'm sorry for the troops but I'm enjoying seeing obama sweat bullets.

[envanje]

This war must end now !

When the Iraqis and Afghanis go to the polls and vote...what's that called again? To my recollection, the Aghans have voted 2 or 3 times and the Iraqis 3 or 4. They have parliaments, and presidents. The men you call "puppets" were elected, and if Karzai wins the runoff election, what will he be then? I'll tell you: He'll be the legitimate leader of Afghanistan with whom Obama will now have to deal with in a post-adversarial relationship. What happened to Obama's "I have a plan" speech?

[astronato]

Rushed? He has been President for 10 months! During the campaign he said over and over that he had a plan. He needs to piss or get off the pot. While he golfs and does late night talk shows people are dying. Where did the anti war protestors go? Why doesn't the press hilight the returning coffins and climbing death count any longer? Because Obama is a rock star and the press loves him? Fuck that!

That's not why my nephews enlisted... You don't sign up to drive tanks, or as a Marine Rifleman for "freedom", you do so to be the point of the spear. My eldest nephew joined to kill people and blow shit up for what was done to US by Them. Well he did that. My younger nephew always wanted to be a Marine, and That's why He joined(well, that and the certain knowledge that he would be put in proximity of enemies of the USA). It's either Democracy, or Despotism. Maliki or Ahmadinejad/Mullah Omar.

Furthermore, you want your President to do exactly what Obama is doing - make sure you have a winning strategy BEFORE you send young men and women to die. Wish our former President had done that in Iraq. Maybe we would not have lost almost 5000 people. If Obama had sent 40,000 more troops just because his general asked for it we would all be calling him naive now - Generals do not make Policy - Presidents do.

[realpipster]

I feel sorry for America when I read some of the comments here. When I see comments like "those Muslims over there" and "he is just going to dump them". I mean come on people show just a little intelligence. The US is NOT fighting Muslims, there is no war against Islam. There is a war against a handful of extremists who much of the Afghan people themselves hate. Try to understand this. Most of the Afghan people hate the Taliban and Al Quaeda.

[BertGriffin88]

Obama,

The Bush and Dick screwing of America just keeps on screwing us. Bush and Dick were not interested in getting Osama and fighting the Taliban & AlQuaida in Afghanistan. So they dithered around at great expense in Iraq for 8years. Leaving you to hold Iraq together while fighting the war in Afghanistan that Bush & Dick refused to fight. So along with the busted economy, Bush and Dick pretty much made sure that your Presidency would only be the one, 4year term. Why aren't they in prison?

"will always support you at home"...not overseas but at home because that is where his butt is.

@jewwrecknationss

I personally think it was the president who started 2 wars without an exit strategy, ruined a decent political party, oversaw one of the worst recessions of all time...and so on.

but judging by your username that logic probably wont work for you.

[GreatSatan1]

How about some reinforcements for those whose ass is already on the line in Afghanistan?

Is he just going to dump them? He sent many of them there already.

[DeveloperJermaine]

Its atleast good he wants to make a strategy first...instead of blindly sending in troops..

Sadly I just dont think the war is winnable though..Those muslims train their babies to be terrorists..

Kill one leader, and another one pops up.

[solomon4451]

alright but you go first

[logitechoz]

0:16 that sailor is to fat

[rap1800]

NAVY = QUEERS

[LiveFreeOrDie091]

Well then from this point on the boys who die over there are on your head MR. president !!!!!!!! You low life piece of shit ! Pull them out and CARPET BOMB those towelheads ! Ya fuckin stupid motherfucker !

[treid100182]

OBAMA has proven not to "RUSH" anything...

even if it is absolutely imperative, unlike this foolish war in Afghanistan...

Why are we Not in Africa, where children starve and become victimized by atrocities???

But for some reason we are going to war in a country that supplies 90% of the world's poppy plants???

...Wait a second...

[IntrepidGizmo]

Already, there are patriots at the Pentagon discussing the plans drawn up long ago for what to do to defend America From the "unlikely" event of someone like Obama ever getting elected. The Pentagon cannot allow the disintegration of the USA as the USSR disintegrated by the unlikely event of someone like Gorbachev gaining leadership. Obama has already crossed the line. God help the free world.

[freestylee19]

why were the helicopters REALLY brought down? i wonder...

[RonFella]

When Wall Street asked for help he couldn't make the decision fast enough. He passed the stimulas bill so fast no one had time to read it and tripled the national debt in one night. This is pathetic and despicable.

[DeveloperJermaine]

ya but wall street does not kill people.....

[nomandclature]

Obama walks like a girl 0:15

[wideawake123]

2 of my nephews have enlisted since 9/11. 1 served in Iraq, and the other is deploying to Afghanistan...So I Care! How many times did we hear this teleprompter of a man talk about the neccessity of winning the Afghan war, of defeating the Taliban, and how that would be his "number one focus", even to the extent that he's replacing commanders in the field. Well, as I said, he just threw his own man under the bus(again) yet again, proving that his straegy is to vaccilate while our troops bleed.

[Vleesball]

agree.

[MonkeyDeLax]

Obama = Fail

[THEUTUBEHATER]

Obama's war. Not G.W.'s. It is Obama's. lol

[DeveloperJermaine]

ya now it is.

[ChristinaWatkinson]

Ughh why don't these Afgans realize that they are the bad guys. they are the villains, the Green Goblin of Spiderman, the Lex Luther of Superman, the Angelica Pickles of Rugrats.

[midevalcheese]

First the govt has to make an excuse to go to war with Iran.

[chingon711]

Get out of Afghanastan altogether. Trying to rid that country of terrorists is a lofty and impossible goal for a financially and mentally depleted United States military. You kill one and ten more join.

[dcjhrj]

define the mission

[wideawake123]

What's a few dozen more troops dead right Mr. President? Your handpicked commander in the field has sent you a request as per your instructions. New news Vacilator in Chief...Troops ARE in "harm's way". Last year you referred to Afghanistan as "a war of neccessity" and swore he would pull the troops out of Iraq(The war we won under Bush) and send them to Afghanistan. Now, you are MIA and refering to imaginary "moderate elements of the Taliban"... You are incompetent and men will die for it.

[ChristinaWatkinson]

size plz.?

[Pvtjamesryan2]

LOL

take your time Obama. It's not like American lives are at stake...
