Anybody else dislike Obamas prepared speech last night?

Because he predicted there was absolutely no possible way to bring a victory. It wouldn't take long before those old tidbits were smoking up the internet. Let's get nostalgic...

Do you remember when he said it was a "failed war" and voted against the strategy that brought that victory?

I was being sarcastic, it clearly was not a victory and to decleare victory would have been disengenous and patritonizing to those who died and were injured for America.

I just think it was distasteful. The ethos coming out of that speech is one of defeat not victory. I think the commander of the military owes it to those who got the short end of the stick fighting in Iraq to at least be paid there dues and declare victory. If there is a loss/victory category Iraq is certainly in the victory category.

To me its like having a boss who didnt agree with the way you were going to do a project. but then when you hit it out of the ballpark he/she was to much of an asshole to give you credit and pay you complement out of spite.

So, you belive the CIC should declare victory no matter what? Bullshit, I would not want to be patronized that way!

Instead you'd rather be patronized by hypocrisy.

The CIC should be capable of flat out admitting he was inescapably wrong when he voted against the stuff he was cheering himself for doing. Jumping in front of a parade doesn't mean the parade happened because of you.
