I think they will be cheering him when he tells them that they have done all we've asked and now they can go home. No more three or four tours of duty, no more worrying about IEDs, go back home to your regular life. That ought to get him a standing ovation.

But Obama's not sending them home. He's sending them to Afghanistan.

Are you saying he's going to go there and lie to them?
Wow!
by Trebuchet

So this won't be one of those sneak in the middle of the night photo opportunities holding a fake turkey on thanksgiving visits like little george likes to do?

He won't be holed up in the green zone with a flak jacket on like Condi Rice?

He's not going to have a ten minute parade in the market place surrounded by 100 troops and a battalion of attack helicopters?

He'll actually meet some of the troops?

Won't that be great.....for a change!

military contributors give more $$ to Obama than to McCain.

Why is it that American politicians
by Trebuchet

have to visit Iraq in secret (remember how little george had to have all the window shades on Air Force One pulled down so there was no target when he landed in the dead of the night?) and have to have heavy armoured gunships accompany them wherever they go like McCain, but when Ahmadinejhad came to visit (technically, Iran is still at war with Iraq!) he announced the visit way in advance and then stayed at an unguarded hotel and visited the neighborhoods pretty freely?

Maybe we should ask the Iranians how they do that.....

I don't know, ask Obama?

But what that has to do with my response to Jammer?
I don't know what it has to do with your response
by Trebuchet

to Jammer. I am not even sure what you mean by send them to Afghanistan. Aren't we already in Afghanistan? Wasn't that where the 9/11 attack came from? Weren't we supposed to find bin Laden dead or alive? What happened to that? I thought little george promised us that would be the first priority - or did he say he didn't care much about bin Laden?

I forget - which one did he say?

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."

or

"I don't care, dead or alive — either way. It doesn't matter to me."

What part of sending the troops from Iraq to Afghanistan don't you understand?
I don't know if you have been keeping up with the news
by Trebuchet

But our troops (and French troops too! ) are in Afghanistan.

I know, FAUX News doesn't like to talk about Afghanistan. All that messy business about little george failing to follow through with his claims to bring bin Laden to justice and all....

Want to bet Obama brings bin Laden to trial the first year of his term?

And your idiotic premise is based upon what??
by Bruce

Polls show troops in Iraq want this war OVER!

The troops in Iraq will cheer anybody pledging to get them home in 16 months vs getting home in 100 yrs.

"Want to bet Obama brings bin Laden to trial the first year of his term"

Yea he said that, he's going to invade Pakistan. I see another war in our future. Maybe he's unaware that Pakistan has nukes.

Well, don't think so! Soldiers are not build that way...at all...
You're afraid of Pakistan?
by Trebuchet

That's it? little george hasn't brought bin Laden to justice - the man who murdered 3,000 Americans - because he is afraid of Pakistan?

If that is the real reason - and how would you know what the real reason is, you listen to FAUX News - then that sounds like grounds for impeachment to me.

Cowardice in the face of the enemy.

Re: You're afraid of Pakistan?
by teigan
So your looking for another war? Ok lets go for it, but I thought you liberals hated war. Thanks for the update, I wasn't aware that you had a change of heart. You want to be a war monger now, way to go!
