You mean the way we moved to kick the Taliban out of Afghanistan.
Please....the troops have been dying in GWB's process for years....yet all the people who are complaining about rushing a decision were remarkably quiet during that time.
Bingo. The anti-Obama crowd is all about how they can use the "troops" to push their agenda. Its so disengenuous.
No, what it shows is the Anti-Obama crowd couldn't give a **** about the troops. They only care about hurting Obama.
Do you guys all get the same talking points email?
Tell me anything to back up this lie?
Until Bush left office, Afghanistan was a "good" war, and had the complete support of Republicans. In fact it was Republicans who argued against leaving Iraq, insisting on a "victory" first. Where was your concern for the troops then? where was your concern when the troops themselves asked for improved armor and didn't get it? Suddenly, when Obama is in charge, Afghanistan is "his" war and he is responsible for the troop deaths. It is no lie that Republicans care only about demeaning Obama. Your disregard for the troops (they are volunteers after all) is well documented. Don't pretend to care for them now.

You mean the ones that did the surge while democrats said it was not working and Iraq is lost.
No we want a commander in chief that is capable of making decisions not avoiding them
Sure we should make snap decisions on warfare just like Rummy/Bush did when planning the invasion of Iraq.
just one more reason why this token will be a one termer
not to mention how congress will go grossly right in the next 2 elections
that is what happens when you elect to the highest office in the land, a person with ZERO executive experience. #ObamaFail
Not the point. Bush took quite sometime to get that in order. I see you refuse to condemn him for taking his time. And you ignore the actual problems of Afghanistan. You seem to prescribe to the notion that more troops alone will solve the problem. Care to support a single instance in history that worked with just more troops that did not result in near mass exterminations?
Just because the Democrats are scum doesn't make you no longer a raging partisan hypocrite.
When did Bush not send troops to Afghanistan when requested by the commanders on the ground?Interesting you say that when the decision you are heckling Obama over was the same one that Bush never made.
Apparently if Obama takes a while to make a decision that Bush put off year after year, he deserves nothing but criticism. But Bush deserves none despite not ever making a decision.
The fundamental problem with Afghanistan is the lack of economic development. And as all COIN worth its salt argues, without development, there can be no success. Now, tell me, what has changed in that aspect from Bush to Obama? Bush never made any real decision regarding that in 7 years of the conflict. Now you expect Obama to make a decision about the same thing in less then a year?
Partisan Hypocrite I smell.
Nah,the Dems will lose a couple of seats in the midterms and by the time of the next Presidential, if the economy is down to single digit unemployment, Obama will be reelected.
Sure we should make snap decisions on warfare just like Rummy/Bush did when planning the invasion of Iraq. Here is Rummys outline, comeing up with the commander's estimate to build the base of a new Iraq war plan.
< . In two pages the order said Rumsfeld wanted to know how Franks would conduct military operations to remove Saddam from power, eliminate the threat of any possible weapons of mass destruction, and choke off his suspected support of terrorism>
Yep Bunkie do all of that in two pages, and of course Franks had thirty days to come up with his estimate.
I can see where President Obama might be a bit reticent before making a hasty decision on troops.
Kinda easy for us computer warriors to set on our a**s and second guess battlefield decisions, as if our adeptness with google makes us second only to…well, hell, seeing as I’m a jarhead Chesty Puller in military planning.
OK, I’m done, lets hear the usual chorus of you don’t know s***.

the country does not approve of the Healthcare reform
he failed epically on climate change as nothing will happen in copenhagen and Cap n Trade is dead
he has failed on his 2 main commitments. his opponents hate him, and his supporters, littel by little are seeing how incompetent he is
he is a one termer, and a failed one termer at that
best thing that could happen to Barry would be assassination
than like JFK everybody could lie about what an incredible president he was
short of that, he is a failure
3 months is avoiding a decision not a snap decision

You’re either nuts, or drunk, or possibly both. Get on a political discussion board a say( best thing that could happen to Barry would be assassination) so that there isn’t any doubt who reported your dumb ass it was me ****head.
