We could have been out a long time ago, but it's nothing but being an apologist for not holding Obama to that same standard also.

I agree that we should be out sooner than Obama's plan calls for. I disagree that Afghanistan is Obama's war. Those making that claim are deep in the depths of hyperpartisan denial.

Obama is a simpleton- what do you expect from a community organizer who got involved with community matters just so he could be a big shot with little real regard to truly helping people.

Now that he has had a taste of grand power- He likes it. Like the twit he is - he is seduced through ego and thrilled to be able to command life and death situations. What you have now is classic- Drunk on power- a drunk and swaggering community activist who is now running with the big dogs.

I guess what they say is true- absolute power does corrupt absolutely. AND this little guy went for the evil bait like a hungry little sunfish.


Nothing worse than a wimp with a shot gun- It's similar to what I said yesterday..I am not anti-gun...I am anti-weakling with a gun. Obama is not a strong person and he is vulnerable to the worst invasive diseases brought about by power...Mission control we have a problem. The Captain was promoted past his level of skill/

Sure. It's Bush's war and both Bush and Obama are failures at ending it.

The POTUS had to take over for Bush because he didn't do his job in Afghanistan. You cannot deny that!

Republicans were against time tables to end wars when Bush was in office, but now they are complaining that Obama isn't ending the war fast enough? I just don't get the phony outrage. Obama ended the war in Iraq like he said he would. He promised a surge in Afgan and then a slow drawdown which is what is happening. Maybe just maybe if your boy Bush had not gone into Iraq and actually paid attention to Afgan. this crummy war would have been long over. Ever think of that?

So I suppose that means Romney must take over for Obama.

He had more than 7 years.

"Obama is a simpleton"- First Black man to be President and became a President. That's two major accomplishments in his lifetime. You call him a simpleton. What have you accomplished in your lifetime?
