It may shock you guys but even middle class working white people like myself want to see the Taliban win in Afghanistan

nearly every ordinary person was delighted with 9/11, we loved seeing those planes going in. Take it or leave it. We don't like the Taliban or the others but if they are killing yanks, weeeeell... you know!

I use my lounge to watch TV and see how many Yanks have been killed in the last 24hrs in Afghanistan and Iraq We like to see the milestones, like 4,000 and 4,500.

This is terrible, these soldiers are in all my prayers since the beginning of this war. What's worse, when they will eventually come back, some dogs, the scum of America, will be there protesting against them like in Vietnam. I hope the Hell's Angels will be there again to bash some skulls if it happens. Sick liberals can't even realize they can whine like monkeys BECAUSE of the soldiers' sacrifices.

They have a fraud, a Communist and a metally ill one at that, not a Commander-in-Chief. What our military and our country needs is to have the military commanders with OR without the blessing of SCOTUS remove this devil and his co-demons immediately. I will pass out the popcorn when they are swinging from the gallows. It is a fate they deserve.

Yowza. You really suggesting that NOW we have less direction in America's foreign wars?

Quick! What was W's 'grand strategy'?

Talk about a stupid post topic... as if somehow this war, raging for centuries, is something you can legitimately whine about after only 8 months of Obama's incompetence?

"Reality has a well-known liberal bias" "You can't hug children with nuclear arms!" "Yes, we can!" are a few among the many bumper stickers from which I have developed my political philosophy.

This shitstain called president has had more than enough time to figure out what he is going to do with the afpak problem. He has no backbone and wants to please everyone. Now soldiers are dieing for what? The prez doesn't even know what he is doing. Hope he accidentally fall's out of marine one.
Ed over at hot air sums it up rather well.

W's strategy was classic military/political. You take Afgoofystan and Iraq. That puts Iran between a rock and a hard place. Put constant pressure on the towelheads in Teheran and then (supposedly) it caves in and becomes a benign entity of some sort or other after the dust settles.

It's a long term strategy that is now gutted by The One caving in on all sides.

This is going to be Viet Nam all over again - but worse. The dinks never came here to blow stuff up during or after the war. Their political/cultural horizon ended at their border.

The devil worshippers will be coming in here by the boatload. Their political/cultural horizon is the entire planet. Europe will go up in flames. It'll look like The End Of Days. Those responsible will shrug their shoulders and blame Boooosh.

W wanted to win. O isn't interested in victory. These attitudes have a profound impact on the troops on the ground.

Not only that V the K, but having the liberal congress rebuke the General in Afghanistan and mock the soldiers, cut their benefits, send them a clear message "Get lost, lie low until after the next election. We don't want to hear about you."

"...a few among the many bumper stickers from which I have developed my political philosophy."

Not surprising.

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe Obama is trying to think of a more a peaceful solution than ‘shoot 'em all and let God sort 'em out’?

If he were a Republican, he would have just issued a ‘scorched Earth’ command and thought nothing of it, like George Bush did, but he isn't a Republican, he's better than that.

IIRC, Obama campaigned on the promise to END the war and bring the troops home.

How's that Hope & Change & Stuff™ workin out for ya?

While the soldiers are making a sacrifice, they are and have been sacrificed, a tragic fact. Instead of spending billions of dollars each month in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Congress would have done better to act on Article I, Sec. 8, Paragraph 11 of the Constitution: Issue a Letter of Marque and Reprisal. They could have put up a $1 billion bounty on OBL and let Blackwater or another privateer handle their business. This is a prime example of where that constitutional principle would be appropriate.

Oh, we might have a few more dollars in our bank account and several thousand soldiers still alive as well.

It doesn't matter who the Commander-in-Chief is, those guys over there can continue to nickel and dime murder our soldiers for the next 800 years just like they've always done.

With the way things are going in Afghanistan, do not be at all surprised if, in the next month or two, we are at the negotiating table with the Taliban. More than likely, they will agree to turn over Al-Qaeda for a cease-fire from NATO. Agree with it or not, I think that's probably what's going to happen, since it will provide a relatively easy way for countries to save some face, as well as acknowledge the waning public support in the major supporting countries.

President Bush executed the best possible solution by injecting freedom and democracy into a world ruled by Islamic terrorists.

President Obama will not only erase that progress, but strengthen the opposition.

I have to disagree with you on that first point. The culture of the desire for freedom is a unique one. Not everyone out there actually wants freedom. In fact, not everyone in the good ole' USA wants freedom, either. Freedom carries the risk of consequences should you make the wrong choices. Even here, we've got people willing to trade freedom for the security-like feeling of having others tell them what to do more and more. Does it suck for the people who live in oppression, in one way or another? Sure. But, the concept of freedom doesn't "click" to them. You can't fix every injustice in the world, because there's no end to it.

That Obama has no backbone is true, but I disagree with him wanting to please everyone. He doesn't want to please everyone, he just wants to convince everyone to see him as the great leader that he looks in the mirror and sees himself. And appeasement and pretty speeches is his method of operation... and while he's adoring himself in the mirror, most people see him as the weak, wishy-washy, empty suit that he really is.

I have this mental image of Obama Dithering, playing a Zither while wrapped in a white toga and olive branches around his head. Staring mindlessly into space saying "How great I am! How great I am...."

"Not everyone out there actually wants freedom."

Maybe some of the sick ones don't, but most people want it. It's human nature.

"Has it occurred to anyone that maybe Obama is trying to think of a more a peaceful solution than ‘shoot 'em all and let God sort 'em out’?

Ugh. You live up to your name.
The only "Solution" Obama has in mind is to have us all bend over for the terrorists.
btw, if Bush's policy on Iraq was "Scorched Earth," don't you think the death toll would be at least 5 times higher than it actually is?

That's friggin' hilarious! You used the words obama and think in the same sentence. What you mean he's waiting for the telepromter to tell him what to say.

"just issued a ‘scorched Earth’ command and thought nothing of it, like George Bush did"

Are you merely overstating or are you just that unaware of what comes out of your mind when you type?

Sherman's march to the sea was scorched earth. President Bush's policies in Afgoofystan and Iraq as nothing of the sort. In fact in both places except for the actual army-to-army war fighting it has been focused fire on bad guys with great concern for civilians. We've lost a lot of troops NOT blowing some place to smithereens. Falujah comes immediately to mind.

When they hung up the bodies of the Americans I would have just pulled back and leveled the city with a fuel-air bomb. But then that's me.

Get the press out.
Get the polititians out.
No collateral damage.

Way to selectively edit my posts there guy... clearly less interested in any actual discussion than in scoring cheap points with bumper sticker jokes... aren't we all shocked to the core that you find such things amusing...

Are you still in junior high, or is that just when you stopped attending "them lib'rul schoolin' places"?

Yet YOU'RE the one who brought it up:

""Reality has a well-known liberal bias" "You can't hug children with nuclear arms!" "Yes, we can!" are a few among the many bumper stickers from which I have developed my political philosophy.
"Posted by: Liberal Bias at October 8, 2009 8:02 AM"

And when it fell flat, you back-peddle and whine that it's everyone ELSES' fault!

It's YOU who doesn't want to debate!

LIBERAL DICTIONARY:
Debate: To hurl insults at your opponants and alow them a chance to agree with you.

I'm very concerned by the fact that I posted a comment October 8, 2009 8:45 AM, and the admin retroactively altered it to suit their own agenda and make me seem like a stupid twat.

So..... nothing like 1984 then......

LIBERAL DICTIONARY:

Debate: being the voice of reason against the howling mob.

So fuck you.

If you keep altering my comments to suit your beliefs, you are a bastard hypocrite.

If you allow people freedom of speech, you can't then complain that they aren't agreeing with you.
That would be fascism.
Oh wait, I just remembered who I'm talking to here....

Anon the only thing Van will do is delete a comment that is vulgar. You're on your way.

I am not in favor of editing comments. It pisses me off when mine are edited on other sites. I say, let the chips fall where they may.

But if you want your comments to be taken seriously, have the intestinal fortitude to not post as anonymous. Fair enough?

"If he were a Republican, he would have just issued a scorched Earth command"

President Reagan (R) found a "more peaceful solution" to end the cold war without giving a "scorched Earth command". Or did you forget?

By now the troops are beginning to catch on that Obama and Dem. generals want to get them killed in the line of duty. Just like Eleanor Roosevelt toward the end of WW2, Obama doesn't want them back in the US.
