It's pretty amazing I hear Dem's talking of sedition, and rationalizing the delay.
How is that Iranian diplomacy going? I thought they had a deal??????????? I'm reading in the papers, almost dead silence.
Iran misses another deadline it says, and I keep reading more articles calling for us to join Israel and gang bang those mofos.
Here we are, almost to the half way point of the NFL season (next weekend). Still no Afghan decision yet.
And they fired back with accusations that Cheney did the same thing as Obama's alleged dithering. Which is even more laughable if they are talking about late in Bush's tenure. Afghanistan is ungovernable, they knew this, and wanted a lighter footprint.
Correction, actually they said Bush had 7 or 8 years (his entire reign) to allocate the necessary resources.
Remember, Iraq was prioritized, and I don't give a fuck what these commies say about Bush, his surge was just what the doctor ordered.
In our haste, Obama has risked pissing away all the gains in Iraq, remember the actual country that didn't have any hope, that needed to be divided.
So that would include all of Bush's tenure, although there was a Gibbs remark about a Afghan troop request on Bush's desk for 8 months if I'm not mistaken.
If that was late in Bush's tenure, that makes perfect sense. As with Iran.
He passed the Buck to Obama, and our dear President Jihad Moe Bummer can't handle his hot taters.
It's a never ending cycle, Iraq was wrong, Iraq was a distraction from the "real war" the Democrats wanted, they will always say.
So here we are you Dem bastards. This troop request has generated alot of unwanted headache, and just keeps building.
One way to alleviate this pressure on your brain is to make a decision, and do it in a reasonable amount of time. Take a day, take a week, and pull the trigger.
Either surge, or pull em all out.
Bush was faced with a similar situation. Go big, go long, or go home. Going long was ruled out automatically, going home was popular, and well the rest is history.
As for other matters.
They didn't mind leaks to the press under Bush. They tried to get scalps over Plamegate, but now (you know communists) the 60's/70's radicals have turned corporate, and they are all about the "chain of command", and controling the message.
Bush took the correct policy, use a token force, and keep it simple. Afghanistan isn't anything in terms of Iraq as far as having/had the potential for nation building.
