What conservatives REALLY FEAR from the Obama plan? Not failure, but success:

I’ve written you a few times. You’ve responded, once. I’m usually not too happy with you.

Anyway, I’m now in Kandahar, working for Stan. That Stan.

I was anti-Iraq. Beginning to now, in the US and in Anbar with a gun in my hand. I was anti-Afghanistan … the Bush/Rummy version, after about week six. So … here’s my tip:

We’re going to win this one. We have a plan. I call it C2. COIN and cordwood.

We’re trying to learn counter insurgency, while at the same time, we’re stacking insurgent (the only accepted term at the moment) bodies like cordwood. They’ve gotten a little bit afraid, and are growing more so every day. The relatively fast 30k is going to relatively quickly change the picture, in noticeable way, in Helmand and Kandahar. We’re booting the Canadians out of command of Kandahar City. Omar’s town. We’re putting a bright, smart, tough, funny Brit 2 star in charge of RC South, where the battle really matters.

Come on out. I’ll show you around. But, please, avenge your Iraq mistakes by backing us when we need you, and other reasonably sane guys with platforms, to help out a little. Obama has taken some huge brave risks; but they’re smart risks, and we’re going to prove him right.

White House insists F-22 be removed from backdrop for speech venue

When President Obama spoke to troops at Alaska’s Elmendorf Air Force Base last month, the unit there parked a shiny new F-22 fighter plane in the hanger. But according to multiple sources, White House aides demanded the plane be changed to an older F-15 fighter because they didn’t want Obama speaking in front of the F-22, a controversial program he fought hard to end.

“White House aides actually made them remove the F-22-said they would not allow POTUS to be pictured with the F-22 in any way, shape, or form,” one source close to the unit relayed.

Stephen Lee, a public affairs officer at Elmendorf, confirmed to The Cable that the F-22 was parked in the hanger and then was replaced by an F-15 at the White House’s behest.

The airmen there took offense to the Obama aides’ demand, sources told The Cable, seeing it as a slight to the folks who are operating the F-22 proudly every day. They also expressed bewilderment that the White House staff would even care so much as to make an issue out of the fact that the F-22 was placed in the hanger with the president.

Guess we should be thankful he didn’t replace it with a MiG.

For the first time in my life I am ashamed of my president. We need to impeach this pretender and throw out his thrift store reject dressing wife. Also, all of his czars and his cabinet. None of them could tell the truth if it were required by law. God bless our brave troops, and bring them home safe despite what our pretender in chief wants.

What do you expect from guy who can’t make up his mind whether a botched aborted, and a baby alive deserves medical attention. He voted present, disregarding the life of that baby, and rather let it die on a soilet metal table.
Why would you think he cares about the troops whther they live, or die in Afghanistan? As long as he can vote present, and continue to blame his troubles, and mess on President Bush, he will continue to vote present.
Remember, the guy needs to remake America, not fight a war against his muslim brothers, he doen’t believe in, and would rather quit yesterday, then in 2011.

One hundred days to vote present, accomplishing nothing except to strengthen the resolve of our enemies.

Obama you should do business or get off the toilet, Americans and our allies are tired of the uncommitted and indecisive leadership that urinates on the floor and on the outside of the toilet. You impress no one with that behavior, you are just leaving a mess that someone else is going to clean up after you are gone and hopefully, that will be sooner than later.

My God, this is what comes from 3 1/2 months of intelligent thought? Go help us if we as a nation are ever faced with an imminent threat. This was his old lawyer trick of presenting both sides of the argument and deciding nothing. This was so blatantly a political speech that I was caught off guard. I had imagined the speech would be one of two like everyone else. Get in and win or get out and quit. This is an example of what happens when you elect a man/woman who has no core values. Everything becomes only a matter of the least desirable choice. People talk about so and so is not qualified to be president. I think the first quality that a future president must have is core values and a belief in what they are doing. Obviously Obama did not want to do what he laid out because he does not believe in it. He had to do it for political reasons. The lives of many young men are now on the line for his timidness and desire to get re-elected. Even his own team thought 18 months was only a guide but today he corrected all of them including General Mchrystal and Hillary by saying that troop withdrawals would begin in July 2011. I realize that there is a lot of political room in that statement but so did all of his team. He could actually bring home one soldier and be complying with his own order. Stay mad people, we need that anger to throw the bums out in 2010!

The soldiers in Afghanistan also gave a reaction of mixed feelings, and that’s easy to understand. They have a job to capture Taliban and terrorists, which is a big commitment to this country and Afghanistan. When listening to Obama, one can’t help but feel his all of his “thanks” to the troops are empty, since he sounds like he’s flip flopping between supporting his troops and doing what the people who voted him into office want him to do.
