Our Guys

[rightwinger]

Lets put this all in historical perspective.

It was President Bush ..
- Who decided to invade Afghanistan
- Who pulled our soldiers back from victory in Afghanistan and turned his attention to Iraq
- Trumped up reasons to attack Iraq against the advice of most of the world
- Who failed to gather an international coalition
- Who ignored Gen Shinsekis advice that more soldiers were needed to control Iraq after the initial attack
- Who thought we would be treated as liberators
- Who extended tours of duty
- Who expanded stoploss
- Who put our soldiers in harms way based on questionable intel

It was President Obama
- Who came in with an existing conflict and existing strategy
- Who pulled soldiers out of hot zones in Iraq
- Who drew down troop strength in Iraq
- Who sent 20,000 additional troops to Afghanistan (where the terrorists are)
- Who got Pakistan to step up their fight with Taliban and AlQaeda

So.....who is unqualified to lead our troops?

So Obama is following Bush's plan in Iraq and not giving his new strategy for Afghanistan And you want to give him credit for what?

The die has been cast in both Iraq and Afghanistan. As you know, Obamas options are limited by the situation on the ground.
As you also know, he did not create that situation

I wouldn't say it's a bad thing that Bush decided to invade Afghanistan.

Never said it was bad.....only that it was his decision to be there
