1) Isolate an entire Marine Expeditionary Force ( approx one division) and Army Brigades in Afghanistan by placing their supply lines at he whim of Vladimir Putin.
2) Ensure that the intelligence, that even liberals were so keen on pointing out is essential to counterinsurgency, cannot be obtained. Obama accomplished all this by implementing policies that make it impossible to get intelligence out of captured prisoners and by haranguing the CIA with endless lawsuits.
4) Ignore the advice of seven CIA directors to end the Justice Department’s criminal probe into the harsh interrogations of terror suspects during the Bush administration.
3) Embolden the terrorists by issuing a never ending list of apologies for infractions that America only committed in his own putrid mind. These apologies give moral justification to terrorists and provide a general atmosphere in which America is seen as weak and evil.
4) Tho ensure that our technological strategic and tactical advantage is fully eliminated Obama has for the first time ever appointed a French general to a Supreme NATO position. The French General will be head of NATO’s Allied Command Transformation (ACT). That innocuous title is NATO -speak designed to camouflage the incredibly important mission of this command. Here is NATO’s brief description “Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is leading at the strategic command level the transformation of NATO’s military structure, forces, capabilities and doctrine. It is enhancing training, particularly of commanders and staffs, conducting experiments to assess new concepts, and promoting interoperability throughout the Alliance.”
What this means is that the French general will be in charge of all technological advances and new strategies and tactics that NATO implements. And why not after all the French are great at all those things. Technology? Why they have an aircraft carrier that is sea worthy at least for few weeks per year. Strategically they gave us the Maginot line and as far as manpower goes if it wasn’t for the 8000 strong Foreign Legion they would not have been able to fulfill their commitment to Desert Storm! Can you think of a better candidate to fulfill that spot? And what did Obama get in return form the french? NOT A SINGLE ADDITIONAL SOLDIER FOR THE RIGHTEOUS WAR IN AFGHANISTAN ! So why the appointment?
5) Make sure that he, Obama, speaks with the current Commander, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) General Stanly McChrystal at least once every three months!
6)Ignore the advice of the current Commander, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) General Stanly McChrystal
7) Ignore the request of CENTCOM Commander Gem David Patreus for additional troops !
8) Ignore the request of the Chairman Of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen for additional troops
9) Consult one of the stupidest people to ever hold national level office Joe Bidden on the matter of counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan.
10) Postpone the decision to send more tropes for six months as he, Obama , is looking for the opportune time when other news will obfuscate his announcement. In the mean time he will head to Copenhagen becasue the liberal socialists at the Olympic committee really love him
That’s it for now but I for one really don’t like what all this adds up to especially the part about isolating our troops in Afghanistan! There is an entire Marine division there. Understand that there are only 3 active divisions and one of them in Okinawa.
What do you think?
great site. Uze ur spll chck
You are so right but I have so little time I am sorry I know its annoyinK
hmmm, didn’t president bush, republican conservative declare that the “mission accomplished in Afghanistan? I thought I saw him on some kind of aircraft carried declaring victory in Afghanistan and then go start another war in iraq? Or maybe it was Obama who started those 2 wars?
That was Iraq
I was in error and you are correct. He did declare the Iraq war over as it continues on till this day. Bush’s general in Afghanistan 4 months before he left office stated he believed we needed to be in there 10 to 15 years. His general at the time said we needed 15K troops. Now it’s 40K troops.
Sounds more to me like drag obama into unending war which people will not tolerate and new guy says in 2012, I’ll get us out, I’ll win, or something like that
Obama said this is an war which we must win
