Snap?? Did Eaton ever set foot in Afghanistan? I seem to remember him in charge of training the Iraqi Security forces back in 03. Which years later Obama called for a halt to all training and missions with the Iraqi forces. Ironically he is part of Obamas team.

"No, as I pointed out, there is some intelligence in waiting to see how the presidential RECOUNT comes out there and listening to ALL his advisors, not just an off the res general who thinks it's smart to talk to the press (and thereby our enemies) before talking to Obama...."

Instead they should listen to the loudest critics coming out of both Houses like Bush was supposed to do. Shouldn't Harry Reid be calling Obama a loser by now? Shouldn't he be about ready to say the war is lost? Who is going to replace Kennedy saying the this is another Vietnam? When is he going to say a new torture prison is being opened under Barrack Obama? Where is Biden calling for his brilliant assesments? Every one of these fuckers and many more couldn't wait to open their yaps. Now these same experts have held all Committee Chairs since 2007 and what have they done about Afghanistan? Are they all adhering to the expertise of Obama? WTF!!!!

Who was the CIC from 2001 thru 2007 and 2008 Crispee?

Christ almighty!!! You forgot that as well?

why do you outright lie smurphette? it's that or you are just ignorant of the facts.
the plan that was put in place in march was actually sitting on bush's and cheney's desk for an entire 8 months prior.

obama filled that troop request after 8 months of dithering from bush and cheney.

You may want to look at the plan approved by Gates back in December 2008 to add more troops. You may also find they were expecting 60-70 thousand troops by years of 2009. Obama hasn't done anything that wasn't already expected.

posting all that bs at #56 in a lame ass attempt to debunk anything i posted...

Noooo...
It shows you are a blatant, partisan, hypocrite and have a horrible memory.

#62...

Another Rip Van Winkle post by Woke defending Obama's lack of making a decision? Obama just "Woke" up and has had only seven weeks to make up his mind? Or is this the Miss Cleo defense that he knew months ago he should wait until after the elections?

"Cheney dithered in Afghanistan for 7 years while he and his oil buddies decided to go take over the Iraq oil fields, you know, since they were in the neighborhood."

Ahh the resident "Iranian" expert is chiming in. Blaming Cheney no less. Classic...

Blaming Cheney no less

Jeff Gannon's idiot girlfriend was Deferment Dick's sock puppet for most of the 8 years, until Condie told GW that that was not a suppository up his ass.... and GW decided to listen to someone other than the Chickenhawk in Chief.

Followed up by the inevitable deflection of Bush and Jeff Gannon. Somehow they are relevant to Obama and his failure to make a decision on Afghanistan. Beautiful!!!

but, please continue to post your inanities so everyone can continue to see how ignant you is....

LOL

No doubt I have a "long way" to go to match your ignorant skills. Getting further and further away after every one of your posts.

'Scuse me. I sometimes forget how context is irrelevant to rightwing ranting..... please continue.

You also forget shoving your foot in your mouth praising Obama and the Iran charade. Pretty much sums up any credence to your knowledge of Afghanistan, which is why you invoke Gannon and Company...

#74...

WTF does that have to do with Obama today and Cheney's claim of dithering? You think spewing the same crap over and over and over and over is somehow a intelligent or informative post? Or does it just make you feel all warm inside writing the 750th post that showing you hate Bush and Cheney, etc. etc. etc.

"But since we pushed the rest button the other day, we will soon have a better idea of whether we will have an actual partner there who can hold the ground we take."

"Until then, the whiny bitch Right will continue to try to make political hay over troops in the field."

What the hell about the time he has had prior to the election seven weeks ago?????? What is his excuse? Everything that was planned back in December 2008 has pretty much changed. When is he going to act on the changes??????

praising Obama and the Iran charade.

At least I'm not in the position of having to piss my pants and whine and moan when diplomacy does work.... as you are.

"Country First".... what a laugh!!

You call that working???lol Yeah so far it is working for the IRANIANS...

You are classic. Somehow Obama being played is succesful diplomacy and good for our Country? Are you serious????

Republican Sec of State Gates has no problem with getting this right.... but I guess he failed to ask that internationally known expert on everything, Mr Critter.

At least you admit to running away from a reply. Maybe you should quit defending Obama, if you can't answer a simple question

admit to running away from a reply.

When you have something other than specious, self-serving questions, please do get back to us.

What's funny is that Cheney can dither away, totally ignoring Afghanistan for 7 years, and Obama can install over 20K troops right after he gets in office, but there are always some Party First partisan fools who think the military timetable should run on a 24/7 cable news "now or never" agenda.

Pitiful, just pitiful
#89 | Posted by Corky at 2009-10-23 02:17 PM |

Why do you ignore the fact those troop levels were in line with the decision the DoD made back in Dec. 2008? What has Obama done different than those levels and original plans in place, that now seem to have changed in the last 10 months?

"Go back to your lurking and leave the decision making to elected officials."

What decisions are they making? The decision to not make ANY decisions? Sounds like Obama is getting advice from Kerry...

the decision the DoD made back in Dec. 2008

"Actually, Cheney (bush) had commander in the field proposals for more troops in front of them since AUGUST of '08, but DITHERED away until Obama finally installed them in March."

Actually it was Gates who I referred to earlier and that includes the DoD in my retort. Stay on track if you are going to run. Those deflections are getting in your way....

"Afghanistan needs its election settled before we make a decision. Funny how right wingers are whining when the country was ignored for 7 !/2 years..."

This from the genius who claims Al Qeada recruitments are down because Obama was elected...

BTW... I think that line has been repeated a few hundred times on Drudge just in the last few months alone.... How about an original thought?

The really, really funny part is that you likely actually believe people like Cheney or Bill Bennett on this, when they would laugh at you in private for not discerning their political posturing.

So I guess the answer is NOTHING. Fine. I will move on...

-This from the genius who claims Al Qeada recruitments are down because Obama was elected...

That was a different genius, 'cause I never heard it before.But it does ring true, considing how well his Cairo speech was accepted in that part of the world.

Maybe because you are not Timex. Seeing as his retort was who I pasted and put quotations around...

But I would say your ridiculous last sentence is as foolish as his. Maybe you are not that far apart to respond for each other. Like you did in #104...

"That's why the president asked me to get in the plane in January and go to Afghanistan," Mr. Biden said. "I came back with a different review."

Hey Joe... Think maybe 9 months is long enough to decide what to do about the cahnges you saw??? Because right now all we see is the same levels and plans from late last year. Any idea when your boss is going to act like the fucking President??? Or are you and he going fall back to your do nothing jobs like you did as Chairs of Comittees over seeing Afghanistan??? Listen to the fucking generals on the ground. I know you and Obama never bothered to serve or have an ounce of military experience, how about listening to those who do????
