AP: Obama Rejects All Military Options for Afghanistan Given to Him

AP: President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

Let us suggest a new TV sitcom “That’s Our Obama” The story of a young wealthy family and there egocentric pop who can never decide what to do. It would be a cheap show one set the family would never leave the living room. Dad whould just walk from his full length hall mirror Smile and Say “Man I am Good looking” walk toward his desk muttering “I am not Dithering” and start over. We wouldn’t even need a writting staff.

During the campaign the Liar said he had the solutions to get bin laden, he would listen to the commanders and actually made fun of the previous Commander in Chief. Instead the Liar has no solutions, refuses to take solid military advice from men who have actually participated in war and instead of being concerned about the security of his armed forces like a competent Commander in Chief the Liar is more interested in playing political games with Karzai. What a mistake.

Just saw Oberman On PMSNBC he was debunking the Fox and Friends statement of large crowds at Bachman’s rally Fox had used the wrong file footage of the Large crowds at the 912 rally instead of the smaller crowds at Bachmans rally. HMMMMM did Oberman just admit there were large crowds at the 912 rally. They used the Hanity and Beck crowd scene shots. I am sure that was the first time that view showed up on PMSNBC

It’s becoming clear that Obama’s so called war of necessity is becoming his war or inconvenience.. He’s too busy trying to shove health care, cap and trade and every other leftist program down our throats before he loses the blue dogs and the 2010 elections.

LOL

The law professor/community organizer does not have a clue what to do with this situation. Maybe he should find a Taliban and give them a big hug. Or ask them “can’t we just get along”. LOL

Maybe invite them to the whitehouse for a nice cup-o-tea and some tofu salad.

LOL

Well after 90 days he hasn’t been able to point his military leaders in the direction he is looking for. Just like when he went to speak at the joint session. The said what he ‘wanted’ yet Congress still hasn’t written a bill that comes close to what Obama wants. So his mouth might be moving but is anyone listening.

obama: he just keeps pounding nails into the coffin of America. Why doesn’t he just say what his “big plan” is – to turn America into a communist country so that he can rule forever. The Axis of Evil is obama, reid and pelosi and they are on American soil. Time to boot them all out.

Right now the leftoids, had they more than two brain cells to rub together, should be screaming at the top of their lungs of this becoming another VietNam. The empty suit with unemployment over 10% and bankrupting future genrations, decides now he wants to run the war. I’m glad he has so much more experience in military matters than his economic mess. So is anyone going out to watch the movie 2012 this Friday? lol

oldbluesboy   November 12th, 2009 - 8:59 am

Yada yada yada. BO doesn’t like any options whatsoever except tucking tail and running. He does have a definite end game policy for America; complete devastation of our society. That’s a war strategy.

Hillary has the gall to say that Obama is waiting becaus of “corruption, lack of transparecy, poor governance” before making a decision. Well, they can resign and let us Tea Partiers elect someone who is not destroying this country. The blood of our servicemen are on their hands.

another “two weeks?” AMERICA and AFGHANISTAN must WAIT another two weeks?!

usurper barry soetoro aka/alias barack hussein obama “knows better” than his Generals as to what to do in this war in AFGHANISTAN?

who is instructing him? who is he really working for?

the clinton’s and the obamas are in the same camp – that which favors relinquishing our Sovereignty to a one-world government

is not that one-world government the enemy of our freedoms as AMERICANS?

As President of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, has usurper barry soetoro aka/alias barack hussein obama, failed to lead in RIGHTEOUSNESS or “right-doing”, earned an “F” – and flunked his assigned course? Has class ended? Is it now time for him to leave the building? If not now, when?

the usurper informed us of his strategies – with his own mouth – during his campaign: “Antagonize-Intimidate-Manipulate” – “Disrupt-Dismantle-Defeat” ~ barry soetoro aka/alias barack hussein obama

Obama is a greater threat to America then anybody in Afghanistan–and his continued lack of judgement and action are going to cost more American lives.

No one has yet presented the option of remove all AMERICAN armor and ammo and just send the US troops in door to door as community organizers, So his “brothers” can slaughter them at will. Then he will send a trroop surge, so more AMERICANS will die for islam!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s a simple question coming from me, why are we in Afghanistan? Are we there for
the opium or something? I really do not know why where still in Afghanistan, and I
really don’t know who the enemy is in Afghanistan, now I notice some of you here are
going to accuse me of being a pinko and being anti-military for raising the question,
the truth is I am NOT anti-military nor I’m not a moronic pinko, I just want to know
why where in Afghanistan? And I’ve also heard it’s for our national secruity issues!

You have to sympathize with the guy. Can you imagine how hard it would be to intentionally lose this war without appearing to have that as your objective?

Not only is Obama indecisive, but he lacks the basic good judgement needed by an American president. More Americans are at risk because of this waffling.

Payton, I admire the interest you have in attempting to change the actions of these traitors in Washington but most people still don’t get it. The leftist wackos from the sixties that think stalin and mao were great men have insinuated themselves into power in Washington, the press, universities and even our military through lies, misrepresentation and much hard work. They don’t care what you or I think. They will implement the plans that they have been working towards for almost 50 years. They have said themselves that power comes through the barrel of a gun which is why they want yours and mine. I am afraid we will eventually have to prove them correct. See the “Declaration of Independence” for further explanation. That’s if they haven’t branded it subversive literature yet.

I say we send Obama to the FRONT LINES in Afghanistan so he can assess what the situation really is like over there. Maybe he can think of a plan then.

Sean R I never thought I would see the day I would agree with you.

If the rest of you are so interested in sending our troops to Afghanistan go down to your local military recruitment office and sign up.
They have lowered the standards so many of you will have no trouble getting in.
While you people are sitting in the comfort of your home spewing vitriol at Obama, an American soldier is literally freezing in the mountains of Afghanistan, sitting in the sights of the enemy or about to get blown up. For what? He/She might be on his/her third or fourth deployment.

Why we’re in Afghanistan
- and why we’re there forever

Accessing 11 to 12 TRILLION dollars
in Caspian Sea Basic Oil and Gas

1. The Caspian Sea Basin (Kazakstan, Turkmenistan etc.) holds between 11 and 12 TRILLION dollars in oil and gas resources
2. There are only three ways to get it out:
- East to China
- West through Iran, Russia, and Turkey to Europe
- South through Afghanistan and Pakistan
3. The Taliban who controlled Afghanistan before 9/11 made pipeline deals with non-US companies and refused to change them to give control of the region’s resources to the US

Emudude   November 12th, 2009 - 11:25 am

Duncan,
There is More OIL in the U.S. than in the Entire Middle East combined. This is not about Oil, but the need for the U.S. to keep its Dependency on the Middle East Oil. The Oil Reserves for the U.S. is in the Montana, Dakota areas. Enough to last (with Current Technology) for almost 2000 years. Our Government refuses to drill here because they want to Join the New World Order with it’s One World Government with Obama Being in Charge of the US Sector of the Planet. Only Then will they drill for the US Oil and give it away to the rest of the World. Did you know that the US is paying to drill Oil in Brazil for the Brazilian People ONLY. Al Gore got Millions of Dollars in Stimulus Money to start a Car Company in Norway. All of Our Multi-Generational Tax Payers Dollars are going to everywhere but the US. Don’t you just LOVE our Current Administration? Love the World, Not the US.

The problem with being a grifter. Con men are wonderful at promises. It’s just they can never deliver. This so-called president doesn’t have the goods to make a decision. He’s a sham, a farce, a loser. He has all the expertise in the world in front of him everyday, and he cannot push the button. This is leadership?

This is a joke.

America…this first Kenyan/Muslim President of this Christian nation…does not want the advice of American counsel…that would be in the best interests of our Republic…

No…he is waiting to get his marching orders from his Muslim brotherhood on what would be the best interests of the “radical” Muslims…

You know all those “mentally challenged” jihadists that he associates with!

CONGRESS WHERE ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU PERMITTING THIS MAN TO GO ON?

WHO IS GOING TO STAND UP AND ASK FOR THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

WHO IS GOING TO START THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS FOR BREAKING HIS OATH OF OFFICE TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE…HE IS DOING NEITHER!

WAKE UP CONGRESS…AMERICANS ARE DEPENDING ON YOU TO SPEAK FOR US!

WHY ARE “YOU” SIDING WITH THE ENEMY WITHIN?

Obama likes to watch American troops die. The Fort Hood massacre put a bounce in Obama’s stride. It’s probably similar to the way a serial killer likes plucking the wings from a butterfly or sticking pins into the eyes of goldfish. That’s probably why Realist likes Obama, cus they share common interests

Dear WTF idiots? at 2:42 pm…Hard to come up with “new” material…when the same Kenyan/Mulim appears day after day with the same “old” stuff!

So until we have a “change”…a “real” American “change” in this Republic at the top…there will be no “hope” for new material…just the same old story out of this Democratzi administration…lies and spins…and lies and spins!

But thanks for the suggestion, Bubba!

I think we’re asking barry soetoro aka/alias barack hussein obama to do something he cannot do: “deliver results” – except they come via his shadow government, leadership from other countries, and those like-minded.

I think Rush Limbaugh is right.

I think Dr. Stanley Monteith is right.

I think “We, the People” of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, are being played like Pavlov’s dogs.

I think the gun-toting muslim terrorists “infidel killing spree” at Fort Hood was ‘part of the plan.’

I think we aint’ seen nothin’ yet.

Not only is Obama smarted than Wall Street, smarted than the automobile industry, smarted than insurance companies and smarter than the healthcare industry. Now Obama is smarter than all the military generals in the US military.
=================================
WOW! All that from a junior senator with less than 2 years federal government experience.

awffp   November 13th, 2009 - 11:24 am

“President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team.” How comforting that this one-term senator, with absolutely no military background is rejecting any idea put before him. 2012 cannot get here fast enough.
