T-Shirt. You couldn't buy a clue with a gold card.

Obama is dithering because he does not have a clue about leading and being Commander in Chief.He spent his whole life in academia which is a world all unto its own with no footing in reality.
This is the real world and he is incompetently out of place.Fighting wars and their strategy should be left up to those qualified,i.e.McCrystal.
Obama at first intrigued me,then he showed his incompetence or naivety.After that he embarrassed me.Now,I am fully ashamed of him being the president of the United States.

Neal once again uses a double standard that is right up up there with the best of all time. He screamed the loudest when left wing nuts accused Pres Bush of getting soldiers killed by his talk and his actions. Suddenly now it is alright apparently. Here is the simple fact. Neal never served a day. I mean he would have only been aged 18-28 or so during the meat of the Viet war. He had every opportunity to show his patriotism and take a position but instead he is simply another mouth breather who talks a good game. Easy to send other guys into a meat grinder when you are sitting on your fat butt back in the states. Way too many of these guys on both sides of the aisle and all over TV. I only served 6 years. Baumholder, Germany and Fort Rucker, Al. Fortunately for me it was late 70's and early 80's and peaceful. This is after seeing my father do 25 years and 3 combat tours, while also losing an Uncle in Vietnam. I appreciate every person who is willing to man up regardless of whether we agree politically on issues. What sickens me though is to see politicians and talk show hacks who play games with soldiers lives. These d-bags didn't have the nads to actually do anything and are left only talking about it. I don't care it is Cheney, Rush, Neal, Olberman, Beck, OBama, Clinton, or anyone else. Men die every day in wars that cowards create, drive, and present themselves as experts on. Sucks, but true.

In all fairness, I don't think "how many soldiers have died" is fair. I've hear even if Obama had approved all the troops to go imediatly, nothing would move for months.

There's no teleprompter for this one...errrr....uhhhh....ummmm....ahhhh...

RECONDADDY........thank you for your service........

my service was many years ago and in a different climate......we didn't win that one either......this is a mission impossible...

you and your comrades in arms were doin' your sworn duty.....butt.....it was mostly self defence....right??? you protected each other.....

these peeple are desert dwellin' not out of the stone age yet.....followin' a religion of hate and bloodshed.....and don't want any part of democrecy....

THANK YOU once again.....I hope you made it in one piece.....

redecorate......that's friggin' funny.....

well said t-shirt .. well said ...

...they did a crackerjack job waiting nearly 5 years to send extra troops. Oh, and we've been in Afghanistan since October 2001, and Obama has the nerve to delay victory for 86 days!! Our troops are dying!! (but didn't die from October 2001 until Obama was put in office, apparently). When our troops died in Iraq, fighting a sovereign nation that had never attacked us, we heard right wing stand on their soapbox and claim they were defending our freedom, so we didn’t have to fight the terrorists over here, etc.... and all those who disagreed with the then-President were America-hating, terrorist-coddling Osama lovers. Now that we've got a President that actually is looking at Afghanistan from time to time (as opposed to not at all, by the Bush admin.), I suppose that NOW is the time to be critical. It amazes me how so many people who were supportive of Bush when he was 'deliberating' for years on what to do (which amounts to making no decision) are so antagonistic toward an opposition party President that is making the exact same decisions you supported so faithfully, only these decisions are being made faster.

I just wish this President wasn't continuing the nation building policies of his predecessors - we are not an empire and it is not our job to run one.

Go in. Kill the target. Get out. Leave no men behind except an ambassador ...if earned.

That's what he should have done with the Stimulus.

Maybe we could use the same formula for "jobs created or saved" to calculate how many of our troops have died waiting for the Anointed One to make a decision.

Were you over there, boy?

While liberal pansies were back here stirring up fake indignation over "armored" HMMWV's, myself and my colleagues were knee-deep in spent brass and grenade pins, screaming NOT to armor our vehicles. Perhaps you've heard that armored HMMWV's aren't the most nimble creatures on the planet. If we'd wanted to be a sitting duck, we'd have been AMTRAK'ers or tankers. At least tanks have a big-a$$ gun turret.

Hey libs, do us real men a favor and stick to something you know a little about -- like styling hair or decorating my living room.

if you think "our young men and women dying fighting for our Freedoms and helping others to attain theirs" is true, then i've got some oceanfront property in Tennessee that i will sell you dirt cheap.

LOL

He isn't thinking it through. If he was thinking it through, he would have stayed at his desk in the oval office, instead of trekking around Asia and goofing off with other things. He would actually give a damn about our men and women in uniform and stop killing them with every day he wastes playing golf and worrying about that "emergency" healthcare bill.

that's so libertarian of you, neal. wanting us to increase the war that we are never going to win. i guess that's how you, and other neocons, want to strengthen america. off the dead soldiers backs.

perpetual war for peace!!!

Obama isn't dithering; he's thinking this thoroughly through so he can make the right decision.

Where is the public outcry??? Why aren't Americans getting really ticked off about our young men and women dying fighting for our Freedoms and helping others to attain theirs. Why? Where is the "I'm a dam mad American" and am tired of seeing soldiers die, people losing their jobs, their homes, everything we need to live is skyrocketing, employers costs going up and not being able to employ more people but instead in order to cut costs they have to lay off more workers. I'm sure this isn't the "Hope and Change" they were looking for when Obama got elected.
The Obama administrations answers, YOU need more government control because you are just a stupid, lazy, American who can't do anything for yourself, YOU need the almighty government to control YOU. No wonder there is no honorable work ethic in this country, the liberal government encourages people to sit on their behinds and collect government money, they are doing what they did to slaves, keep them down, make them humble for the scraps thrown at them, and when you get the leftover scraps from the almighty "O" and his administration be grateful.
Don't know about you folks but I've had enough, in 2010 there will be CHANGE and a lot of unemployment for all politicians who don't stand up for what Americans want .. we are tired of their self serving agendas.

Take the total number of casualties in the last 10 months in both wars- that's how many have died due to prezbo's incompetence.

The sooner they raise their fists and say "Woot.. we won! Let's go home!", the better!
