I wouldn't say the generals are smarter than Obama. I would say that they are more versed in military tactics and the reactions that militants may have to the release of those pictures. Fact still remains that Obama listened and made the appropriate decision. You can't get around that fact.

Dubya wouuld've ignored his military commanders and listened to his belt buckle.

If you didn't vote for Bush, you sure do spend a lot of time defending him. I guess you're one of those all around haters.
Obama has stated he's against the war but wasn't in the Senate at the time for the vote so talk is talk and there's no record of a vote. Once he got in the Senate though he voted FOR every war funding bill that Bush put forward.

I know this but Obama's dissent was on the record..Once we're there, every American wanted the troops to have what they needed to fight the war no matter how illigitamate.

Congress could have held out demanding a timetable on all those funding bills.

My ass. Many of you liberals wanted to cut and run and do your best to ignore what the consequences would be. Thankfully you failed miserably.

So why'd all the funding pass without a problem? So you know, invading a country isn't a bar fight. You CAN'T cut and run.

""I guess you're one of those all around haters.""

That seems to be the number one put down from Obama supporters for those that don't support Obama's policies..

Find a new line, that one is getting old....

I only defend Bush when I see people like you spewing your lies...

As a Veteran I was against sending soldiers into a war that I thought we had no business entering into.

Three and Four Star Generals don't become Three and Four Star Generals because they are dumb as Obama on world affairs!!!

An all around hater pretends to take no position, pretends to be righteous, offers no solutions and only provides hateful statements..For an example, see above.

YouTube - OBAMA DECEPTION HIGH QUALITY VERSION

There are good reasons that Obama isn't throwing out NAFTA, getting jobs for Americans, getting us out of that war, bailing out the greedy bankers.

Very good reasons -- he's deceiving the American people. Big time.
