Let me start with saying … TRUE LEADERSHIP DOES NOT NEED A TELEPROMPTER!
EIGHT US soldiers were killed this weekend in Afghanistan, Obama has said nothing… the mainstream media has said nothing. The same media that sued to get access to take photos of the caskets of fallen troops and that Obama lifted now say nothing! Where is the media’s outrage? Where is Obama’s outrage? He was all about criticism when he was running, he was full of idea and mouthy talk and now he says nothing, he does nothing, now he doesn’t have a clue… it’s easy to be a arm chair general, it’s a little harder when you’re in the game. I’ve been in the game and I know Obama hasn’t get a clue… and while Obama waits American life’s are lost.
Afghanistan deaths
Soldiers Who Have Died Since 1/20/2009
Since Obama took office over 318 American lives have been lost in the war on terror. We have a general asking for more troops, 40,000 to be exact to suppress the Taliban and Obama does nothing. Oh Obama says he’s going to study it… he’s going to look at it… he’s going to think about it and he is going to delay and cost more American lives.
This really pisses me off… Obama doesn’t understand that in a combat zone you don’t have time to wait, you don’t have time to study it and mull it over decisions have to be made quickly and decisively. You can not micromanage a war… this is what has made America great (in the past) the ability to make decision on the battle field and this is the reason we failed to fair well in Vietnam, empty suit politicians setting in leather chairs behind oak desk calling the shots on a battlefield they knew nothing about… this is why the President SHOULD TALK TO the commander on the ground in person. Get the information first hand not from some secondary source. Obama is failing our troops, he is falling the military and he is failing the American people. He is clearly way out of of his league, he has no idea what he is doing, he has no idea how to run a war and he clearly… crystal clearly has no idea how to be a effective leader. The man is a utter failure as a Commander and Chief… he is a joke.
The President and the Congresses job is to tell the military “Go out there and WIN! Do what you have to do and we have you’re back… tell us what you need and you’ll get it.” That’s their job… sadly we have a president that doesn’t know his job, mainly because he’s never had one.
I have a number of friends and family in the military some serving right now in the Middle East and I know from speaking to them that they do not feel that the President or the Congress has their back. They feel they’ve been left out to dry or as one says “hung out to die.” They feel they are on their own and are led by a weak-kneed spineless government.
I hate what I’m seeing… Obama is playing politics with the lives of our military.
The media and Obama both are guilty of ignoring our troops… you want and example? The following linked story is nearly a year old… have you heard it reported yet?

Then get up off your ass Obama and send them the support they need!! You overwhelm the enemy with superior firepower. You seek out and destroy and collateral damage be damned. Fight to win or don;t fight at all.

The thing that really chaps my a$$ about Afghanistan is that the entire pretext of the war was to get Bin Laden and his towel headed lackeys and bring them to justice. Why, after all of this time and all of the resources that have been spent, is the freak still breathing? This is about the only thing left that O-dumbo can blame on Bush and rest assured when the heat comes down on him for his mismanagement of the situation it will be the first thing that comes out of his wagyu beef hole.
Put me in charge I’ll give the rag-heads 30 days to produce every terrorist, insurgent, suicide bomber or their hide out and I’d turn those mountains into pot-hole.
