BaracKabuki Theater in Afghanistan



Does anyone really believe he's doing this of his own accord?

Ambassador Eikenberry is counseling the president to not send more troops to Afghanistan, and he pulls some weight.  He was the ISAF commander there for two years before going on to a NATO posting and then retiring to become the US Ambassador to Afghanistan.  He's just the man to cover the president's dithering backside.
Eikenberry described his serious concerns about sending tens of thousands of more American troops to the country without dealing with the corruption and incompetence of the Afghan government, according to U.S. officials familiar with the cables.
Does anyone really believe SecDef Gates is "appalled" by this?
I am appalled by the amount of leaking that has been going on," Gates told reporters
"If I found out who" was involved, he said, "it would probably be a career-ender."
Prepping the Battlefield
This selective leaking, followed by feigned indignation, is called prepping the battlefield, or more fitting to the Obama administration, "propagandizing the masses."  

Yes, during the campaign Obama said this was the right war, but, well...  A president's gotta listen to the smart people and be willing to change his mind...

Bonus:  He gooses the nutroots and loony lefties who voted him into office...

The saddest part of all this is that BHO has eight meetings over sending help to Afghanistan and refused to be rushed. Instead he goes on a week long trip to Asia. What piece of work he is.

Obama's entire administration is crammed full of the most dangerous loony leftists, the majority of whom are about one brain synapses away from a padded cell and frontal lobotomy. You can be sure that they are there because they are exactly what Obama wants in his administration. If Obama had a brain and you took it out of his head and laid it on a rail of the AmTrack railroad, it would look like an ant on an eight lane highway.

Leticia: I agree. He's not looking for a way to win, he's looking for a way out.

Reverend: You can tell the character of person by the company he keeps. Doesn't say much for out prez, does it?

What the hell is Holder making the anouncement of trials for the Terrorist. These guys where captured during a WAR and should be susceptable to military court versus a federal court. The US court system is fairest but things can be drawn out for years and don't want to see in the news every night like OJ was.... Freakin idiots!!
