Re: Obamanation here today
He claimed to have all the answers before he got elected. I didn't realize he needed to go back and study his notes. Its clear the guy went back to his political advisors and said oh crap what do I do now.
what obama has done is actually pissed off most of the country with his decision. Those that wanted him to fully support his troops are now pissed because he short cut them.
those that wanted him to stop the wars are now pissed he decided to increase the troop levels.
Can you at least wait until President Obama has addressed the nation, and then state a rational rebuttal, based on facts, instead of opinion?
You're right the latest news reports now say Obama will give his generals thirty thousand instead of the forty asked for.
BTW, the general is NOT President Obama's commander, just the opposite, in fact. The last I looked, this was still a government run my civilians, and that goes for the military, too.
Silly me. I thought the the commander in chief with no military experience should support the troops who are fighting and dying for him.
General's are not always right in their judgment. I seem to recall a judgment made by General McCrystal in the Pat Tillman case that was far from being the right choice. He's lucky he still has a job.
I'm fine with that argument. Relieve the general and lets send Obama over there to personally lead the troops.
Your assessment the President Obama 'screwed his troops' is so far off base, but it should be pointed out that making an informed opinion has never been shown to harm our troops. It is rushed behavior that does harm.
Fools rush in ....
