So, you are faulting him for deaths in afghanistan. He wants to pull the troops out, so no more would die there, and you have a problem with THAT too? You can't have it both ways.

and you still haven't provided a link for your 1700 number. Until then, I'm calling bullshit.

As for CIM... you don't have enough money to pay to come in your mouth, much as you want it.

I wonder if the missing 28 pages of the 911 Commission report would have led us to a different adversary? Maybe the real enemy lies within those pages.

You're arguing both sides of the coin. Basically, you don't want Obama to reduce American presence in Afghanistan and you want him to reduce American presence in Afghanistan....That is literally the combined argument contained in your last three/four posts.

Well then, that would mean an almost certain increase in the death of American troops, in the hundreds, maybe even thousands.
One wonders exactly what the fuck are you trying to argue.

It's just typical argumentative drivel. You blather on with whatever you heard in the latest O'Reilly factor without having any actual substance to fall back on.

As it was, Obama prepared a strategy to end our foreign presence in Afghanistan by at first increasing the number of troops so that they could eventually hand control over to the Afghanistani government. He was successful in getting most of our troops out of that hell-hole wasn't he? You can't just declare war on a Wednesday and pull out on Thursday.

As for the apparent contradictions you whine about... I haven't taken a position other than to ask if Obama's actions made any sort of sense... or did he order the surge for political theater, and get thousands killed for no reason. Or is it your claim shanm, that "some semblance of order" in Afghanistan was worth the lives of those who died following his orders. Or were the orders wrong??

Ohh, and finally, who declared war in Afghanistan and when was war declared??

He doesn't. He never did. That's what you are arguing he should have done, by (ASSininely) claiming that the death of 1700 soldiers meant nothing. According to you, those 1700 deaths were meaningless and we should have pulled out as early as 2009.

Like I said, you can't declare war on a Wednesday and pull out on a Thursday. Obama DID NOT do that. He pulled out on Saturday where, effectively, we should have actually seen the week out completely. However, that would mean the death of more American soldiers and more American presence on foreign soil. Again, that is also something you seem to advocate by saying that we left the "region in Chaos".

What would you have done? Just left Afghanistan in chaos? Originally Posted by WombRaider

That depends. Is any war ever worth it?

We left Afghanistan after the Soviet-Afghan war. We pulled out too quickly. What was the result? The established government was weak and unable to stop the religious thugs (Taliban) from taking over. That is exactly what Obamas administration is trying to prevent in this instance.

You seem to forget that the surges ordered by Obama were actually ordered under Bush. Obama simply increased the number. Understandable, because the timeline was considerably shortened. Here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20090221...,2351712.story

The new troops are the first wave of an expected surge of reinforcements this year. The process began to take shape under President George Bush but has been given impetus by President Barack Obama's call for an increased focus on Afghanistan.

You're not simply ignorant. You're also blind with your hatred for Obama. A dangerous combination.

So tell us, as a dye-in-the-wool Odumbo supporter, how did he know the troops he ordered in his surges would accomplish the mission he assigned by 2015.. all the way back in 2009? Was he elected with a magic crystal ball to be able to see the future? Because if he did... how come he didn't know his economic plans would be such an amazing failure when he put them into effect in 2009? 6+ years later.. 8 trillion added to the debt.. and 2.2% growth is all he can achieve? Wow.

Lemme guess.. is this where, after defending him all over the political threads.. you say "I'm not for him, I just hate seeing you folks whine about him"?
