With the post you made about his judge pick in the other topic you are not fooling me one bit.

As for McCrystal's sorry butt we spent a great deal of manpower and treasure in Iraq and frankly we just cant spare the manpower to fight another endless war in Afghanistan. On top of that the recently mineral desposits that had right wingers foaming at the mouth dreaming of extended war are now considered too costly to extract by international companies.

Therefore its not worth sending more troops to die for a country that is unlikely to stabilize for decades and likely can only be temporarily muzzled by having drones hovering like vultures all over the place. Troops don't mean a darn thing compared to a squad of drones in such a conflict.

agreed. its unfortunate what is happening in Afghanistan, but the only way to really turn things around would be with a massive influx of troops and billions of dollar of aid, none of which is likely to happen. Better to cut our losses, pull out altogether, cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Not fooling you? WTH do you mean by that? I thought I laid it out on the table pretty cut and paste! It's not my fault that you require assistance with reading and comprehension! I'm not playing any tricks here about how I feel about Obama. I would think most people could see that. What exactly do you want me to say about him that I haven't said already?

Then tell me why Obama hasn't brought home the troops? If he feels that Afghanistan is a lost cause (like you seem to think) then why hasn't he brought them home? You don't know what you're talking about! The fact is, McChrystal is a "war expert". He's a 4-star general and you don't get any higher than that in his line of work. He requested 50,000 more troops a year ago and Obama only gave him half that many and it took Obama half a year almost to give him that half. Therefore, Obama set McChrystal up for failure and it has cost many American soldiers their lives as well as innocent civilians their lives as well. All Obama did his first year in office was sit on his own two hands and blame Bush for everything. He's still trying to blame Bush for everything yet America isn't buying that excuse anymore. Obama is a clueless moron that doesn't know how to lead. He's never had a legitimate job before in his life. He's never been a leader. He didn't even have enough time in the Senate to learn how to play politics. He depends on others to make decisions for him. All he is is a puppet! Why don't you see this? You're living in denial mate! Face it!
