What more did I need to know. I heard the words about the 8 years from the BIC's mouth this morning. I also heard Robert Gibbs, the one from the WH, say that our leader would tell us his decision in about a week.

Yes, I missed that, but I was referring to your words, roy. Did you miss that?

Here. Try again.

You: Finn, in reading that article I saw nothing but an attempt to continue the blame Bush for it all...

It would be too much to expect to have a decisive Commander-in-Chief who would due his duty first instead of floating balloons to see which way the winds of political opinion are blowing. Meanwhile as he dithers awaiting his press conference our men and women in Afghanistan have been lacking the support of their Commander and paying the ultimate price for his narcissism.

Pathetic!

You didn't read the article? Then why did you say, "Finn, in reading that article...?"

Nothing short of hanging him from the nearest tree will ever satisfy this group of haters. I personally am convinced of that fact and find it disgusting.
Substitute the name, Bush, for Obama there and tell me if it isn't the same story about those who didn't like Bush. You are throwing Pelosi as deep as any I have ever had to wade through.

And I find your comments and false accusations disgusting. When all else fails just play the race card. Brilliant......NOT. Why don't you go out and buy a clue with the redistributed wealth Obama is giving you?

Nothing about Gibbs in that article.
The words that I said Gibbs spoke were in a later press conference today. You need to try to read the thread before making accusations.

So what Roy? Is it not permissible to talk about last year, or years before that? Bush was the president before Obama, so it is quite ridiculous for someone to be so sensitive about it to suggest that no one should even mention his name.

Yes, we have been through eight years of dithering / indecision in Afghanistan, and George Bush was the CIC during that time. Get used to it. If it hurts your feelings to hear someone mention these facts, then that's just too bad.

You know that I mentioned Gibbs just to take the words of BBC to some place other than wholly true. Isn't it expected of all of us that we take the words of Gibbs as the truth about what the BIC is thinking? Hell, I am sorry for all of this but you are calling Gibbs a liar, right?
