During the campaign, Obama made it clear that he was dedicated to winning the war in Afghanistan. Candidate Obama railed on Bush and Republicans over Iraq, blaming our shortcomings in Afghanistan on the lack of resources due to the "Bush War" in Iraq, and promising to devote the needed resources to "finding and killing Osama Bin Laden." We heard speech after speech from Obama and Biden, about how THEY could revitalize our efforts in Afghanistan, THEY would be committed to doing what needed to be done to get Osama and WIN in Afghanistan. Biden himself was selected as VP because it was believed he had the needed foreign policy and armed forces leadership experience, and we were all reassured that under and Obama presidency, America would remain safe and strong in the war on terror.
Now, after almost a year in office, the generals on the ground in Afghanistan, are literally begging for more troops, saying point blank, that we will lose this war if we don't step it up... and Obama announces that he will have to think about this a while... maybe a few months! A few days later, he announces that we "can't defeat the Taliban" regardless of the number of troops we send to Afghanistan, so I think we can see where this is headed.
At this point, Afghanistan is Obama's war, and there is NO exit strategy. It is Vietnam all over again, with an inept administration who doesn't have a clue of how to WIN a war. Thousands of American soldiers have given their lives for this mission, and for what? So that Barack Hussein Obama can waffle on yet ANOTHER promise he made during his campaign, and eventually throw in the towel on Afghanistan. Make no mistake, that is exactly what the administration is setting up. A complete tucking of our tails between our legs and bugging out of Afghanistan, because LIBERALS don't know how to win wars.
And where are all the liberals on this? Deftly silent! After berating Bush for 8 years about Iraq, and criticizing the "lack of an exit strategy", we find that Obama has NO EXIT STRATEGY for Afghanistan, and it will be a few more MONTHS before he gets around to deciding on one! Meanwhile, he continues to practice his jump shot and fly his family all over the world, continuing to "apologize" for America and make speech after speech, which sound like they were written by Natalie Maines, denigrating the actions of America at every opportunity. THIS is what you people elected.
