I love America, and would normally support the idea of carrying fire and sword into the heartland of the enemy. But not this time. American forces are operating under the command of a man who is ambivalent about their mission and their lives. Want an example? How about the fact that Obama has changed the rules of engagement for the use of smart bombs against the Taliban and Al Qaeda when civilians are present. Imo the result is fewer Taliban and AQ deaths, and more American deaths.
Obama is not concerned about victory or the national interest. He's concerned about not suffering political damage from his campaign lie that he would wage a necessary war in Afghanistan. Have you noticed there are apparently no Obama supporters on this thread? There's a reason for that. They can't articulate a defense of their president on this issue, and thus avoid engagement.
