I don't think I would call exploiting the deaths of our soldiers to make a political point is "helping your country".

So the right should do it? I don't think I ever have done it, nor do I approve of any one doing it.

We can play your game, I can come back and suggest you would rather have troops die, than consider Obama is being indecisive and thereby critisizing him.


What is it? Is dear leader above all reproach, even soldiers lives?


You care more about your party than you do about your brothers and sisters who came after you. I find this, out of line.



We can go here. Its all on you.

I don't care if you bitch about Obama, but using troop deaths to get at Obama is low. If Obama is wrong, you don't need troop death totals to make your point, if he is right, then using them won't help your case. In other words, you are exploiting out service people, and gaining nothing for doing so.

You have no standing.


I already explained how I thought Bush I, did the same thing. I also explained, how those I know in Afghanistan are feeling. My position comes from my care and concern for our brothers and sisters in harms way. For you to go back down this line of attacks because I DARE critisize your guy, is what is low. And I suggest you pull it back... BN rules dictate I use the articles title. I did so. I then explained what my concerns are. Now I don't believe you to be of low intelligence, so I think your attacks on me are deliberate and considered. And that is most regrettable.



I think his indecisivness is endangering the lives of our troops. YOu could care less about it. So don't try to turn this around on me that I am the one "using the troops" when it is you ignoring thier plight for your guy.
 
Re: 43 U.S. Troops Have Died in Afghanistan Since Gen. McChrystal Called for Reinforc

Redress, if one of the consequences of indecision actually is that more soldiers are being killed, how is it out of line to point that out?

Unfortunately, even if Obama is being 100% thoughtful and high-minded about all of this, he's is unquestionably giving the appearance of indecisiveness by doing all these other things while the decision still hangs in the air. And the appearance of indecisiveness is the appearance of weakness, and weakness emboldens the enemy.

You are clearly of the mind that a President should defer to his military leaders' advice/suggestions/recommendations and follow those recommendations without hesitation. This is not only foolish, but incredibly ignorant.

Yea, like if a panel of brain surgeons were telling Obama that his wife requires immediate surgery or she’ll die in one week he would need to sit down and apply his own understanding of brain surgery to the situation before making a decision…:roll:
