Afghanistan War, President Obama, McChrystal, Gates, more troops, Taliban

On 29 August 2009, General McChrystal, commander in Afghanistan, said to President Obama, "if we don't get more troops on the ground, we risk failure." As of 22 October 2009, the President still has not made a decision. Please Mr. President: SEND OUR TROOPS HELP OR BRING THEM HOME. Don't leave them there like sitting ducks. The United States of America is at war. A war against terrorists. With American families putting their lives and hearts on the line for us daily, a decision is required. Partying, vacationing, petitioning the Olympics board, making your rounds in the media, and criticizing Americans who disagree with you but love America all of this is optional. If you are in a war, do whats necessary to win or get out. YOU ARE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF - PLEASE MAKE A DECISION.

@bobbytiger i forget where Bush was a draft dodger

@born2leader: the sooner we can get off this oil, the sooner we can cut ties. Saudi Arabian leadership doesn't care about religion (I know they walk a thin line, cuz their people still do). It's complicated, but we're getting tired of this. We had better make all the right moves while we have the military strength.

@TheJaychristopher5 How can Americains go after Mecca when 1 of their biggest allies are the oil rich kings in ARABIA .imposible iran can,t even impose sharia on itself, they differ so how can they impose it on america IT is America who impose their ideologies on the world.so tcb washington

@bobbytiger: exactly. This Obama is one big joke upon the USA. At least if he didn't serve his nation, he should show the utmost respect for the U.S. military. He never has and most probably never will. What a disgrace!

[ConservativeRuleinUS]

@360jarhead: This is what the USA gets for electing someone who hates the military in the first place and doesn't appreciate them. Obama has been hurting our troops by not granting them the proper rules of engagement to insure victory. Obama is one big disgrace.

@born2leader: you make large assumptions about one's ability to influence or their background. You are living in la-la land, if you don't consider "Iran or others" Islamic nations. Those bastards would impose Sharia on you and those of us here in the USA, if they only had the chance. I say TCB on these bastards. If they wish to play hardball, then go after Mecca. We'll see in the end who has the last laugh. Our downfall will only be if we don't exercise the strength we have.
