Comments on: Afghanistan–Strategy Gone Wild http://blog.heritage.org/2009/10/08/afghanistan-strategy-gone-wild/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:16:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Shay Jones, Pennsylv http://blog.heritage.org/2009/10/08/afghanistan-strategy-gone-wild/#comment-60982 Shay Jones, Pennsylv Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:50:40 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=16681#comment-60982 I grew up in the greatest country on earth, blessed by God our creator and will not "go quietly into the night!" Unfortunately, my son is serving in Iraq for the most corrupt government we have seen since we were dominated by the King of England. I AM ashamed - ashamed to be living in a country which abandons its true allies, its own military and all of its law-abiding, hard working, legal citizens. My parents fled Europe to find a new life in America - the 'America' of promise in the 20th century - and they did it 'legally.' Why don't we just throw away the Constitution and rule of law - those in government don't want to follow it anyway! What is the purpose of having so many laws on the books (for the 'commoners')that any sane, intelligent human being CANNOT possibly keep from being a criminal by accident! Yet, the truly important laws formulated by God-fearing, intelligent men who understood the purpose of the Ten Commandments - well those laws are trampled under the feet of deceitful, power-hungry, arrogant, robbers. And all for what?! I pray every day that God will turn for good what men and women in high places have meant for the destruction of the United States. Wake up sleeping Americans! Or you will wake up in your cozy FEMA Camps guarded by a new fascist military who should be winning wars against our terrorist enemies. But then maybe globalism and Big Brother won't be so bad - maybe we can be paid in toilet paper and Vodka like the hapless Russians were. Think it can't happen here? Think again!

Heck, he's trying to help our enemies destroy our country. Why would he want to defend it. He's ashamed of our "arrogant ways" and continuously apologizes for American being proud of their country, but he had no bones about telling the world how proud he is to be from "Chicago." Wish he would go back there and stay. Our country will be a lot safer when he does in 2012, if he doesn't get us wiped off the map before then.

If I were the General I would pack all our men and women into planes and bring them back home. What is the General supposed to do? Wait till Obama goes to commercial in his 24/7 TV stint to make another dumb decision? If we can't play the game correctly, we should take our ball and go home!

Wonderful. What's the big difference? If the Taliban are allowed to re-take Afghanistan, doesn't this idiot think that Al Queda would be far behind? As far as Gen. Biden is concerned, his advice is worthless. It would be treated as such if it were not for the lap-dog Government Media, which keeps promoting his weird views on warfare.

What happened to that idea? Our federal government is the essence of corruption. We need a brand new party called the "CONSTITUTIONAL PARTY." Obama is destroying our country at a record rate. We need term limits for the House of Representatives and the Senate. They are all playing politics while our courageous troops are dying and our country is sinking into a mire of debt. Isn't it time for every true patriotic citizen of the United States to come together and clean house.

After the Surge was proved workable, how can he question the same strategy in Afganistan? It proves Ann Coulter's point how Democrats don't want to win. The whole point of the War is lost on them, and our Nobel Prize winner will be the cause of Armageddon if the Iranians get the bomb. Peace Prize? I am nausiated.

Obama wanted the job. He insisted that he knew just how to handle all the problems we face. Now that he realizes how difficult they are, he wants the rest of us to sympathize with him. Forget it.

You say Mr. Obama is "working hard to fix what's broken". Mr. Obama finally met with General McChrystal for a few minutes on his way back from Copenhagen only because of the furor erupting after the General's response to questions he was asked in an interview. Those comments being that he had spoken only once to Mr. Obama in the prior 70 days. I guess that sounds like working hard to you. Mr. Obama has been a long standing critic of the prior administration for not having an exit strategy in Iraq. He has been president for nine months now, what is his exit strategy for Iraq? What is his strategy in Afghanistan? Is it to win? If so, why is he hesitating about sending the additional 40,000 troops requested by Gen. McChrystal? U.S. troops are being killed in Afghanistan every day. Obama fiddles while U.S. troops burn. If Mr. Obama's strategy is not to win, then he is being successful. With his successful strategy of not winning in place, it would seem that maybe he ought to give some thought to an exit strategy in Afghanistan. Poor Obama. His mouth has written a check that his ego can't cash. Brian in LA — from the tenor of your comments, I can't tell if the "LA" stands for Louisiana or Los Angeles.
