Obama: "Victory" is not our "Goal" in Afghanstan. [Obama also makes a false historical reference.]

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says he's uncomfortable using the word "victory" to describe the United States' goal in Afghanistan. He says the U.S. fight there is against broader terrorism and not a nation.

Obama said Thursday that the fight is not going to end with a country surrendering to the United States. The president says the fight is against Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations so that they cannot attack the country.

When Obama delivered a speech in March about his strategy on Afghanistan and Pakistan, he did not use the word "victory."

Obama's latest historical gaffe : He sites "Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur."

Well Mr. President, Hirohito was not present on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri in Tokyo Bay, on September 2, 1945... General Yoshijiro Umezu and Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu represented Japan in signing the Instrument of Surrender.

Obama really is an Idiot !! The Emperor of Japan never set foot on the USS Missouri ...And what's wrong with using the word Victory anyway,,,,,?? Is he afraid of offending the Taliban thus ruining any future plans he has for a peaceful negotiation...?

You're kidding, right?

Try Goggle. It will help you avoid the embarrassment you should be currently feeling. Maybe after you read a little about the African nations today compared to pre-Dubya.

@iowabeefshowman Bush had 7 years to get things straight in Afghanistan too. But you were all rooting for Iraq, WTG neocon

[DawnOfTheDead991]

@DWaves47 You call him a racist then a nigger, love the irony. You are a typical fascist cretin

[iowabeefshowman]

@claytonhjames Oh I see, we shouldn't be in Afghanistan! I bet you think we should just lie down and wait for another attack similar to 9/11. After we killed bin Laden, it was time to go! Great job, Obama, you got bin Laden, now leave, you have terribly failed on the 'postgame' of this debacle. Bush is not to blame, take a look at the real facts please.

My tolerance is used up, I can’t hold my opinion anymore. This asshole that sits in MY White House is a raciest, ignorant, stupid muslim, islamic, NIGGER. He knows nothing of American history. Anyone who voted for him or supports him or his ideas is a trader to America and should be executed for treason.

[thebluesrockers]

the only victory they have in mind is the New World Order. If you think Obama is running our Country, you are about as smart as his history knowledge. the President isn't any more than a National spokesmen. who decides who gets to run for president in the first place? what ever happened to for the people by the people?

we need a Revolution. everyone wants to bitch, but nobody wants to join together to stand up against it. United we stand,divided we fall.you ever read the Patriot act? scary!!!!
