That was a mistake.<br /><br />The media moved on, but we still had resources devoted to Afghanistan and hunting bin Laden...even if the media weren't covering it.The WordSmith from Nantuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-51191210582519722432009-10-01T00:08:00.507-06:002009-10-01T00:08:00.507-06:00its a real political stunt that's why Presiden...its a real political stunt that's why President Obama says that Afghanistan war is good..<br />But in my opinion war is go to hell..londonhttp://www.whatlimouk.com/limo-hire-london.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-90278074230219511402009-09-30T09:50:09.038-06:002009-09-30T09:50:09.038-06:00I agree it must be very stressful for our soldiers...I agree it must be very stressful for our soldiers being out there to live in such an uncertainty.

He has no leadership skills. He can command a room with his oratorical skills, so long as TOTUS is along for the ride. He stumbles and fumbles over and on everything. He is fast proving that he will be one of the worst presidents in our nation’s history.<br /><br />Whatever he does in Afghanistan – he’ll fumble that too. He supposedly chose Biden as his VP because of Biden’s foreign policy chops. He names Clinton as SecState.<br /><br />Yet he hasn’t let either of them do their jobs. He continues to hog center stage like the perpetual candidate he is.<br /><br />Not that either Clinton or Biden will do great job either. But Obama has already painted the country into a corner with his rhetoric about Iran – either do this or do that (or else being implied). He should have let Clinton take center stage on that – it’s her job. <br /><br />It’s clear he has no idea what it means to be president; he wanted the title without the responsibility. He can’t lead, he can’t get a consensus on anything even within his own party. In the corporate world he’d have been fired 3 months ago.<br /><br />And while all this goes on, our warriors are left hanging in the breeze, on the whim of a man clearly ill-suited for the job of being their leader. Any one of our warriors shows P.BO what leadership is just by breathing.<br /><br />P.BO has no prayer to ever earn the respect of our warriors. He’ll never earn mine either.Kris, in New Englandhttp://www.reflectionsbykris.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.com
