Obama at Odds With Advisers on Afghan Exit Strategy, Woodward Book Reports

We need to exit from the Afgan war immedately and bring our troops back to the US to focus on protecting American soil and its people...

President Hamid Karzai is as useless as Yasser Arafat was. We wined and dined Arafat for decades and got nothing. Karzai needs to go and the Afghan people need to show that they want to help become a free nation. So far this has not happened. Obama has no b**ls and is scared of his own shadow. He is a really poor Commander in Chief. We either need to commit to Afghanistan or get out and secure our own country and borders. We don't need to fight the rest of the worlds battles. Other countries show no interest in combating anything as long as we foot the campaign. NATO(No Additional Troops Offered) is as useless as the UN. Let's pull back and rethink our strategy and for sure we need to get rid of Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Take back America!

I am not surprised at all that Obama said that We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger. I wonder, do you think the families of the 9/11 victims believe we can absorb another attack? I think one attack is one too many. We are all very lucky that President Bush was in office when 9/11 happened. If Obama was in office all that would have been done is a lot of talk and speeches saying what he thinks the people want to hear. Nothing this man does or says surprises me at all any more. This man is a fantastic at giving speeches; however I have yet to see him do anything to help the people of our Country.

Other Countries and the UN are always bashing our American Capitalism, but they are quick to put their hands out to get some of our capitalist money to run their countries,or pay for their wars or cleanup and rebuild after a disaster.

As long as there is corruption in governments, the war will go on. We give other countries money to aid them in fighting against the bad guys............but where is the money? In the pockets of corruption?

Sure Obama is playing politics with the war on terror, the healthcare bill was crammed thru for political reasons, just like the borders are not being secured by this Administration because of political reasons(vote buying)and job bills are passed for political reasons(Buying off the unions). Everything this Administration does is done for Political Advantages and Political Agendas to Further the power of the Dem Party. But they pat us on the back and tell us they are doing it for us, the American people. And they think we are buying it.

Shortly following my arrival in Vietnam in 1970 (25th Infantry Division), and extensive contact with scores of Vietnamese) it was abundantly clear that Kennedy/Johnson, Nixon and the congress had involved us in a disasterous and pointless adventure that ultimately cost the lives of tens of thousands of Amearicans, hundreds of thusands of Vietnamese, and billions of American treasure. Then along acme Bush 11, a man composed of equal parts of ignorance and arrogance and involved America in "a war of choice" in Iraq, sacrificing the lives of more thousands of Americans, billions of dollars, and the death or displacement of a hundred times more Iraqis that had Saddam. He left our armed forces battered, and stuck in a quagmire in Afghanistan as bad, if not worse than Vietnam. Now Obama has denounced Nation Building, which unfortunately appears to included America. Is it not perhaps time we do-figuratively-what the British did to Washington DC in the War of 1812? Palin and Beck to the rescue assisted by Christine O'Donnell. God help our poor grandchildren. They will inherit the cylcone of political greed and incompetence of a democracy convulsing in in its death throes.

Rest assured, you could let Newt,Palin, Romeny or whom-ever turns you on, we shall be in afghanistan doe at least a generation - we're already half way there.

obama knows everything so why should he listen to or heed the advice of any of his Advisors when he can listen to the advice of his cronies instead. Oh, yeah, thats right. We are in a mess both here and abroad because he failed to listen to the experts and listened to his cronies.

Obama should have gone with his gut instincts on Afghanistan, bring home the troops and used the last remaining dollars in the Soc. Sec lock box to rebuild our decaying infrastructure. Trouble is, our military industrial complex carry's too much political clout - our parents generation should have heeded president IKE warnings during his farewell speach to the nation. Contrary to whether Obama wants to do 10 yrs or not, it's where we shall be for the next generation or until our nation is rendered broke - it happened to the Soviet Union and the British Empire before us ( in Afghanistan ).
