Sure he is.
"Keep in mind again, federal candidates, this was a war of Obama's choosing. This is not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in. Now take this soup back. It's cold and needs to be reheated."
is that supposed to be Dennis Franz?
Dr Phil
this was a war of Obama's choosing.
Say what?
The video was very difficult to understand and the transcript did not give the entire presentation, but how does he lay this at President Obama's feet? Especially with a straight face?
Immie
It's easy. I can lay this at obie wan's feet. Remember his campaign speeches? "Afghanistan is a war worth fighting." Then instead of pulling the troops out he doubled down. It is his war and his choosing. The buck stops in his slippers.

However, you cannot do so in a non-partisan manner. Bush put us there. We would not be there today if it were not for Bush. Whether our being there today is right or wrong, we are there because of President Bush.
To lay this all at President Obama's doorstep is nothing shy of partisan blame pushing.

I'm fine with this part of the statement.
This is not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in.
This part, however, is a steaming pile of bull squeeze.

The problem I have with that first statement is the attempt to push all blame upon President Obama. It is not whether or not Democrats and Obama supported our efforts, thus making this a war of their choice, it is the obvious effort to shove this off on him alone and exonerate President Bush and Republicans from all blame. If something good comes out of this, do you think Steele will share credit with Dems and Obama? I doubt it.
Immie
I'm fine with the entire speech. Who gives a shit what that idiot says?
He's head of the RNC, that's why one should care. You're downplaying his importance or how bad his comments were.

Ordinarily I couldn't care less what the guy says but I do give enough of a shit to say how dumb of a statement that is on an anonymous message board.
Steele will be out eventually. Although i agree with him on this,he has been a big disappointment overall. Palin is the logical choice to head the RNC. She is aggressive & intelligent and skers the chit out of the Democrats. Steele will go quietly pretty soon. That will be good for the Republican Party.

I take it you're an Obama supporter. How much is his administration paying you to post this shit?

Are you claiming to be a Republican?
I've been a registered Republican my whole life but parasitic neocon/religious right fucks like you are fucking clueless so when you meet real Conservatives you get so flustered all you can do is scream "Liberal!" because that is your Sheeple Staple response to everything that confuses you.
Good job on trying to deflect on what.....your 3rd post? Lol......
You're whole life? So when you were a baby your family took you down and registered you as a Republican? LOL
You seriously are mentally damaged bro.
I'm a necon? LOL Do you even know what that term means? Obviously not, so let me help you out.
Neoconservatism is a right-wing political philosophy that emerged in the United States of America, and which supports using American economic and military power to bring liberalism, democracy, and human rights to other countries. Consequently the term is chiefly applicable to certain Americans and their strong supporters. In economics, unlike paleoconservatives and libertarians, neoconservatives are generally comfortable with a welfare state; and, while rhetorically supportive of free markets, they are willing to interfere for overriding social purposes.
A) I support bringing our troops home from all over the world and not interfering with other countries
B) Although I allow some compassion into my beliefs I am anti welfare state.
Religious right fuck? Ok, I AM semi religious , but I have never pushed my religious beliefs on anyone. In fact I rarely mention God unless it's specific to the thread.
And you are HARDLY conservative. In fact I have seen you called MANY things, but never conservative.
In fact you know , the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced I could make a case that Obama is a neocon.
Steele Says We Shouldn't Be In Afghanistan; Calls It Obama's War Of Choice | TPMDC
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele may be misremembering exactly how and when the Afghanistan war began.
At a Republican Party fundraiser in Connecticut on Thursday, Steele declared that the war in Afghanistan "was a war of Obama's choosing" that America had not "actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in," in a response to an attendee's question about the resignation of Gen. Stanley McChrystal -- which Steele called "very comical."
"The McChrystal incident, to me, was very comical. And I think it's a reflection of the frustration that a lot of our military leaders have with this Administration and their prosecution of the war in Afghanistan," said Steele. "Keep in mind again, federal candidates, this was a war of Obama's choosing. This is not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in."
Late Update: We asked RNC spokesman Doug Heye for comment -- and it's not quite clear what his answer is to the main questions raised by Steele's remarks.
Wow. Just wow.
