Finally an admission from Obama that he has no clue how to keep one of his promises, if he ever intended to in the first place. An admission that he was wrong in his handling of the situation.

...and Libya, and Syria, and Iraq, and ISIL, and the debt, and jobs, and pretty much everything Obama ran on fixing, and a bunch of new horribles Obama created or helped create during his presidency.

Did you watch the Democratic debate? It was like Obama has not been the Democratic Party president for the past seven years.

This was Obama's good war. Can't leave yet.

The solution for the next President is very simple:
Pack our people up, and bring them home!
Allow the Afgans to solve their own problems.
Or not.

It was a DEBATE, not an Obama discussion and I wouldn`t expect to see many repubs wanting to talk about the economy or national security issues. They`ve pretty much disqualified themselves.

Oh the selective perception seeing only what you want to see. What peace exactly? Prosperity? I suppose to a liberal record numbers on food stamps and dependent on government is prosperity. Did you even read the title of the thread or just see "Obama" and jump in to throw your utter, blind devotion to him?

Well, you're not exactly ready to invade Iran, which I keep mentioning is part of the Grand Plan.

The next president will have to invade Iran, or maybe whoever is elected in 2020 (although by then it might be too late).

Then you'll have troops in Iran and Afghanistan until you regain control of Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

Then you'll have troops there, until you gain control of the Russian eastern republics in Siberia.

What is so difficult about sending in C 130's , loading everything up and getting the hell out of there? If Obama could have accomplished one thing he could have done that. He fails at everything, even being a liberal, anti war President.

Well it sure won't be Obama winning that war. Apparently, he's still not comfortable with the word "victory."

Proportionate force? Huh? Obama's cleaned house of real generals to further this administration's social experiment goals, but can you imagine the response to that by any of yesterday's great generals? With all due respect, Mr. President,...proportionate force? Shouldn't that be disproportionate force?
