Obama consults with Taliban on end date, that's a certainty…beware the islamic treachery of Obama…why would Obama … being the street whore he was and is…what would make him expert on war…nothing would. Nothing…so that is why we are dying everyday in Afghanistan…Obama demands it.

What he really said is the “time line” was a made up fiction with no basis in reality, and everyone this administration has working for him has their head firmly buried in their arse. Ask the guy he just replaced.

Joe “cut and run” Biden and the rest of the WH staff reviewed the weekly talking points, and figured they needed something to cut the negative slide on the numbers, and to distract the headlines away from the tanking economy and massive spending. Dem Solution: “Everyone home in a year!!! War’s Over!!! We Win !!! Hopefully before the 2011 election so we won’t totally have a lame duck president” and just like that, it’s policy!

These guys are idiots. Send the military in, but don’t let them fight. Just send them in to get shot at to make it look like you’re doing something — only cause you said Iraq wasn’t important, Afgan is the problem.

Guess what. They were both problems. One president stuck to his policy and made massive progress despite your liberal slanders, and your guy can’t even figure out what his policy is. It’s “cut and run” this week, what’s it going to be next week?

Johnny does it again. He asks the general a question that leads to put the general in the middle of white cross hairs. Johnny needs to go. Contribute to JD.

So the timeline was arbitrarily set by some peon in the current regime.

No wonder Obama is the worst president in history.

Got marx?   June 29th, 2010 - 8:21 pm

Obama double crossed America and McChrystal by agreeing to increased troops and then stabbing us in the back by simultaneously announcing troops to be withdraw July 2011, dooming any effort to succeed.

I hope Patreaus schooled Obama and won’t crap from him. Gates is Obama’s best and most professional cabinet pick by far and he’s a holdover Bushie, who thinks Obama is an idiot. I would leave if I were him.

‘LAME DUCK’ FOR THANKSGIVING…AND WON’T IT BE GOOD AFTER ALL THE ‘STALE BREAD‘ WE HAVE BEEN FED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS!

THEN ONTO IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ RECORDS OF BIRTH…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME…AND 2010 WILL BE THE TIME!
——————————————
——————————————

America…the ‘wanna be’ dictator in our White House…also known as the puppet of the Bilderberg…Obama the Bush…thinks he is the army, the supreme court, the congress and can speak for each and every citizen! It is he that puts forth the decisions based on what his puppetmaster…the Bilderberg…tell him!

He is no Commander N’ Chief…and someone needs to call for that ‘original’ birth certificate to prove it!

GOD bless Lt Col Lakin who is putting his career on the line to go through a court martial to force the issue.

He has more guts and love for our great Republic than any of these so called elected leaders!

Just another reason why we are fighting to cleanse the Washington cocoon…they all have to go!

And…we need to elect conservative men/women who are not afraid to make hard choices and hard decisions to stop the spending.

And…who will not be afraid of the word…I M P E A C H M E N T !

Never give in and never, ever give up!

The tomorrows of our children depend on what we are doing today!

Thanks to http://www.americanparchment.com, come to find out, he is a social liberal, he banned Fox News from his HQ. He was not open to conservatives either.

Rogue President   June 29th, 2010 - 9:04 pm

Sounds like we have a rogue president, or is he going by Emporer or Maximum Leader (like Hitler and Castro) now?

we already know   June 29th, 2010 - 9:19 pm

Veteran CNN broadcaster Larry King announced his decision to step down from his long-running show, ending a record-breaking career that saw him conduct more than 40,000 interviews.
***********
INTERESTING.
he announces he is going to step down AFTER CNN announces he is being replaced?
see, Larry – after all that this is how it ends up.
the very least you deserved was an opportunity to be called into the office and have them tell you they’re letting you go and give you an opportunity to announce your departure.

as it is this is highly embrrassing for you. you get claim you are leaving after the whole world gets the headsup that you have been replaced due to poor ratings. hope they have a nice gold watch for you.

BHO-R-POS-POTUS   June 29th, 2010 - 9:28 pm

It was the pasty-faced Marxists and their punk leader Obama making these stupid decisions that got our soldiers killed and favored the Talibana and Al Qaeda. And they wouldn’t care if every one of our sodiers were killed given they hate our military, which is our last defense of America against Obama.

hmmmm   June 29th, 2010 - 9:35 pm

no military not involved in that decision but the troops must follow the decisions made by the higherups. where’s the difference/

What a Disgrace   June 29th, 2010 - 10:09 pm

Noone in the military was consulted! So major military decisions are now made in non-military private meetings? Maybe they have to be approved or decided upon by Soros, Podesta, Stern, heads of MediaMatters, MoveOn.org and whatever other radicals are hell bent on ‘fundamentally transforming america’ and are likely pulling teleprompter O’s strings. Maybe that’s why it took 3 months for the strangely ‘disengaged’ Obama to answer General McChrystals request for more troops, only to get stabbed in the back, another major military decision (based on a Rolling Stone Magazine article – i doubt it, he was set up). Columbia has a more professional and coherant foreign policy.

no duh   June 29th, 2010 - 10:22 pm

Why would the dear leader need to consult anyone when picking an arbitrary date out of his own butt? It only had to sound acceptable to his base. There was nothing more logical or considerate about it than that.

NWO puppet gov   June 29th, 2010 - 10:39 pm

Petraeus is a Bilderberg puppet:

and Mccain another puppet..

Mahakala   June 29th, 2010 - 10:58 pm

There is nothing like fighting a war and the bonehead politicians not even consulting the military leaders on the best way to end the conflict and the best way to do it. Prez. Osuma and VP Bitemen have to go. They make me want to puke.

Obama sent the bust of Winston Churchill back to England because a group of British Soldiers under Churchill’s Command tortured his Kenyan Grand Father for Two Years in Kenya. That is why Obama hates England and all her Allies including the United States. That is why he is Reshaping America to be in his Own Marxist Image. God Help Us ALL. (Link to Story Included Bellow)

Rat vermin corrupted Boss Tweed-Obama and his corrupted Tammany Hall regime is finally being exposed.
Otraitor is a man-child emperor-with-no-clothes. He is a rat vermin traitor with a plummeting popularity rating because he hates America, hates freedom and hates liberty. He works for Goldman Sachs and the banking oligarchs along with Dodd and Frank. He supports expanded wars – but strangely Soros funded Code Pink and Media Matters are silent for this baby-dictator Obama. Obama is weak and the world is destabilizing, he is a slave to the oligarchical collectivists and rules our population with an iron fist with a velvet glove. Obama coddles terrorists, Iran, MS13 gangs, Mexican Narco-State Drug Czars and criminals with sanctuary and open borders.. He cracks down on the middle class – the law abiding tax paying child bearing middle class whom he considers subjects in his regime. His IRS has audited at a rate 300% above normal. His census is a Nazi-like info-gathering attempt. He has outspent all previous presidents in one year. He is big brother, he is a traitor and he is a little man child moron figurehead empty suit that acts childish and thin skinned because he is uneducated. Sure he was indoctrinated with progressive trash, but given what he says and thinks he is a stupid uneducated failure of a man that could not hunt, grow food for himself, nor even change his tire. He knows nothing of math, history, physics or chemistry, his ideas are idiot Alinsky eructations and regurgitations, his speech capability without a teleprompter is pathetic and he is one of the stupidest people to ever grace the Office of the President. This moron man-child Otraitor looks and acts like a thin skinned loser. He is a disgusting traitor and a progressive rat that will rot in hell.
This Obama regime is the modern Boss Tweed Tammany Hall. The depraved nature of the Democrat party and its hidden progressive-Marxist agenda has been a cancer on America for well over a 100 years now, and today, the main stream media is controlled by the progressives so we don’t have Thomas Nast drawings exposing what this rat vermin Obama is doing.
