Obama issues orders to begin Afghan escalation
I’m trying to catch up from a great holiday/vacation and put together a column on this topic for tomorrow, but in the meantime, from Fox:
“Top military and diplomatic officials got their marching orders Sunday evening from President Obama ahead of a planned speech Tuesday in which he’s expected to outline his new Afghanistan war strategy and call for about 30,000 more U.S. troops to be sent to the war zone.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama issued the orders during a meeting in the Oval Office Sunday.
While offering few details of the contents of Obama’s speech — to be delivered at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. — he stressed that the president will discuss the importance of an exit strategy.
“This is not an open-ended commitment,” Gibbs said.”

It really is a shame that Obama is placing his political capital above the value of our troops.
He’s still trying to make everybody happy. Can’t do that as leader. Tough decisions HAVE to be made.

Bottom line…. Obama has failed to take the advice of HIS chosen one, McChrystal. During the campaign, Afghanistan was for HIS win. Now Afghanistan is, once again, in hopes of HIS personal win. Stratfor’s take:
The normal course of these things is that you put some more troops in because it is easier politically and diplomatically than pulling out or dramatically increasing your forces to a level of real significance. You keep doing that. It is like boiling a frog. It is done so slowly that the frog is dead before he realizes he’s dying.
It’s kinda like kissing a frog…he turns into a prince. With Obama it’ll be the reverse.
Kiss a prince, you get a frog.

Well, there’s always Bill’s failure to accept Bin Laden when offered up.
Clinton: So we tried to be quite aggressive with them [al Qaeda]. We got – well, Mr. bin Laden used to live in Sudan. He was expelled from Saudi Arabia in 1991, then he went to Sudan. And we’d been hearing that the Sudanese wanted America to start dealing with them again. They released him. At the time, 1996, he had committed no crime against America, so I did not bring him here because we had no basis on which to hold him, though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America. So I pleaded with the Saudis to take him, ’cause they could have. But they thought it was a hot potato and they didn’t and that’s how he wound up in Afghanistan.
Clinton later claimed to have misspoken and stated that there had never been an offer to turn over bin Laden. It is clear, however, that Berger, at least, did consider the possibility of bringing bin Laden to the U.S., but, as he told The Washington Post in 2001, “The FBI did not believe we had enough evidence to indict bin Laden at that time, and therefore opposed bringing him to the United States.”
Even Sandy (in his pants) Berger admitted the option was available.
“The FBI did not believe we had enough evidence to indict bin Laden at that time, and therefore opposed bringing him to the United States.”
Who knows? Had Bill done what needed to be done, all the innocent victims of Sept. 11, 2001 might have been spared.
But then that’s the part of the story no liberal/progressive/democrat wants to read. The ending….Sept. 11, 2001 is on Bill’s page in history.

Well, at least the IRS has cracked down on a few more of the freeloaders, residing here in the states, to help pick up their tab.

I was thinking along the lines of this kinda “social circle(s)”.
Social circles also overlap. For example, there may be people who work together who are also in the same tennis club or >>>coffee clatch,<<< or you may know someone independently of a mutual friend.
Social circles tend to have unique sets of norms and values. When an individual does not comply with them, the individual may be ostracized, admonished, or even embarrassed by other members of the group.

Of course you can read my posts and see where SOME of my interests are, but as to what I get out of this blog, and why I chose to participate here, YOU don’t have omniscient rule on that.
YOU don’t get to say why I come here and what I get out of what I read here. And again, for you to even consider that you have that kind of power is extremely dangerous behavior. It’s extremism at it’s worst.
If you scroll past my posts all the time, then how do you know what my interests are? You are contradicting yourself here, but that’s nothing new.
“You’re a needy little girl, that way.”
So you insist upon calling me a “girl.” I’m assuming you mean that as an insult.
The thing is – I like girls and women. I think the female species is a formidable force which should be treated with respect.
I wonder why you would choose that word to insult me? Self loathing?

When most people think of PMS they think of women. However, researchers recently discovered that many men suffer from a condition similar to PMS called irritable male syndrome (IMS). Men with IMS often experience mood swings, stomach cramps and even hot flashes. These symptoms and others are caused by a drop in the male hormone testosterone.

Midori, Bosch, et al – Of course it’s all Obama’s doing. As the CiC he’s ordering more troops onto Afghanistan. Obama also submitted a federal budget that includes the largest deficit in the history of the country, in excess of a trillion a year. One of Bush’s greatest sine was that on top of the recession and the war in the Middle East he gave the rich thee biggest tax cut in history. Now, still in recession with dounble digit unemployment and an obviously failed Middle East campaign, Obama is commiting more troops, submitting a budget with an even larger deficit, and trying to get a huge and ultimately very expensive entitlement passed disguised as health care reform.

There’s no justification for Afghanistan that I can see. Do you think there’s more hope of changing the government into a stable democracy in Afghan or Iraq? Maybe Bush should have tried to dig out OBL, but we’re not doing that in Afghanistan now either. Most of you are so blinded by party politics that you can no longer distinguish right from wrong. Hundreds of lives and billions of dollars for absolutely nothing in the Middle East is wrong whether Bush does it or Obama does it. Running even larger defcits when we’re already dangerously in debt is wrong, no matter who’s doing it.

Deductive reasoning causes me to speculate that President Obama didn’t agree to increase our troop strength in Afghanistan without some measurable objectives that must be met by our military AND the Afghan government. I will go out on a limb and suggest that if those objectives are not met (in terms of time frame and goals), we will see a winddown of our presence there. And finally I would conclude that none of those objectives will be released to the media.
President Obama expected answers to the following questions:
- What constitutes success (victory?)?
- How do we achieve success?
- How much support do you need?
- How long will it take?
- Will the Afghan government (installed by the previous administration) do what is necessary to get the job done?
- Will the Pakistani government do what is necessary to get the job done?
Do you think that the military and the CIA “dithered” while trying to get the answers to those questions?

Answer the question – what do we have to show for 10+ years in Viet Nam?
Iraq! Same question – we have been in Iraq for 5 1/2 years. What do we have to show for it? A government that may or may not make it?
A society that may or may not revert to another civil war? A nation that may or may not end up with a portion being a Radical Islamic State?
Bottom line – all we have to show for 5+ years in Iraq is more questions. Hell, we didn’t even get any cheap oil out of the place!

I’ll go out on that limb with you (hopefully it won’t break with both of us on it
) – but I have faith that Obama has very specific objectives, and does not necessarily trust the Afghan government, and I feel that if these goals aren’t made – he will have enough sense to get out. Of course it’s all speculation and we’ll see how he handles it, but I have a feeling it will be alot different than the previous CiC.
As far as the war itself goes, I don’t necessarily support it – I’m willing to try this stategy and see how it works without complaining, but after 8 years, the populace does not have the stomach for another slaughter of our soldiers, and won’t put up with it – and I don’t think Obama does either.
Were they dithering? Hehehe. The wingnuts new favorite word. I think a little, yes. To test the waters, see what was going on with the elections (unless we were behind that all along – for what reason is another topic), and to gather the best intel. I’d much rather see him dithering a little. Dithering can be good – I wish Bush had done a little more dithering before going into Iraq. I’m disappointed in the troop increase, but not surprised. I see the point of it either way, and damn – at least we don’t have Rumsfeld anymore! Good lord!!

When the troops come home the puppet governments we’ve installed will collapse, probably quite rapidly, like they did in South Vietnam and Cambodia. Actually, it’s done more harm than good, more Muslims hate us than ever before and we’ve probably created more radical militants than we’ve killed.

Now that President Obama has made a decision to send troops to Afghanistan, in my opinion a very bad decision, what will those who supported President Bush and his inept administration say now?
The Pentagon issued a report last week indicating that we only have 50,000 troops in reserve. If we send 40,000, the arithmetic says that leaves only 10,000 troops to fulfill the rotation quota. Will we have to leave the troops on the ground longer than the 14 months they are staying now?; we the time at home be shorter?; how many more suicides will there be in the military ranks?’ how profound will PTSD become amongst the returning troops?
The solution to the problem appears to be renewing the draft. This would bring some of the warriors we have heard everyday to the fight and our problems would be solved in less than 24 hours.

Barry had no choice since he was already on record from the campaign trail. He painted himself into the corner with few options, and now it will probably end up as a lose- lose for him.
His delayed decision makes him look like an indecisive leader. The generals have wanted more troops from the get go, so his delay should have ended up with a withdrawal, otherwise he will be remembered as “dithering”.
And to the idea that he has benchmarks and will pull out later – won’t happen. If he pulls out later he will be questioned as to why not pull out now instead. He will be seen as a quitter. His only hope is the surge will work and it needs to work soon.
And no, I don’t agree with the decision. I think the afghans are the ones that need to send 40k more troops, not us.

The third reason Obama’s strategy will fail is the way our forces are limited in this fight. We have an Army chief of staff who believes that if diversity were “damaged” it would be worse than the Fort Hood massacre. And we demand of our best warriors behavior that is irrational in war.
In 2004, security operators from Blackwater were ambushed and murdered in Fallujah, their bodies mutilated and hung from a bridge. The terrorist who organized and conducted that attack — Ahmed Hashim Abed — was one of the most-wanted terrorists in Iraq.
Abed is typical of the enemy: ruthless, implacable and above all barbaric.
As HUMAN EVENTS’ Rowan Scarborough reported last week, Navy SEALs captured Abed in a nighttime raid on September 3. And sometime after he was captured, one of the SEALs apparently punched the guy in the mouth and he suffered a split lip. He complained he’d been abused, and now instead of the medals they undoubtedly earned by bravery and skill in the raid, three SEALs — Matthew McCabe, Jonathan Keefe and Julio Huertas — are facing a January court-martial for prisoner abuse.

Hello Jay,
I trust you had a relaxing time. Such a variety of news stories in a few days. None of them good.
I’m interested to hear, tomorrow night, just what this strategy is that took all these months and meetings to craft. I’ve a feeling I’ll be underwhelmed.
All the emphasis on markers and a timetable? That is not a strategy. It’s political cover. I wonder if we’ll end up doing anything markedly different from what we’ve been doing. Just a bit of emphasis difference.
Hello Bosch
[[Because we have faith that he won’t go invade Syria or some other country that is not in this fight like Bush did Iraq.]]
The prior thread – I’m really interested to see how the Left handles the situation if we quarantine/bomb/invade Iran – a ‘country that never attacked us’ – given how that line has been used as the condemnatory end-all regarding Iraq.
Hello getalife
Nice job of pulling the hot iron from the fire with those Razorbacks. Didn’t matter who outplayed whom – at the end, it’s just ‘scoreboard.’
I’m going to the Big 12 championship game Saturday. See the game on the field and also on the JerryJumboTron.
But back to your question of ‘can we bribe the Taliban?” Sure! That entire society is bribable. We can do it with jobs. We can do it with agriculture. We can do it with threats “we’ll leave you alone but if you get in bed with AQ again, we will come back and kill you.”
I just hope that doesn’t clash with Progressive ideals, though.
Hello N-GA at 4:00
I’ll offer that what constitutes success – the critical question – is not for the military or the CIA to determine. That’s for the President. When he tells them what he wants to accomplish, then they can come up with a plan to achieve it, determine support requirements and lay out a timetable.
Just like they did with the Bush transition plan in Nov, which they refined and announced as a major event in March. Then backed away from when presented with the ‘how do we get there and how many troops will it take’ reality.
Kamchak
So sorry about your loss. It must be nice to be at peace. Me, I’ve been going over in my mind what I might regret leaving undone while they’re here. And I’ve been working thru the list. Interesting, though – I’ve found many of the things I’d regret don’t matter one whit to them – it was me imposing my ‘this is important’ baggage.

A Special Operations Command assessment got some attention this weekend. Blamed General Franks and SecDef Rumsfeld for the miscalculations. Also said getting OBL would have been symbolic but the crazies with their hating ideology would have continued. I’ll see if I can find a source to post later.

Yeah, that was one of the sickening stories that came out over the holiday. The general who preferred charges? A politician wearing a uniform. SecDef Gates should break protocol, tell the general it’s time to retire and let the SEALS get on with being warriors.

This reminds me of the sniper team that had charges brought will carrying out a ‘kill or capture’ order. The general who preferred the charges thought they could have captured him. The items you cited are the normal laundry list – and the SEALS called the command’s bluff by refusing nonjudicial punishment and demanding a court martial. I’ve a feeling the command will now drop it.

AmVet, thanks. (Mind if I blather a bit? Coping mechanism.) This song takes me back to my time in North Florida… where redneck meets beach bum in a tousle of unkempt, sun-bleached hair, leathered skin, tattoos, scraggled shorts, and shoeless feet. I watched some Skynard-friend local band perform it on the deck of a beachfront bar there. Waves slapping a few yards away, late afternoon sun blazing, tempered only by the salty breezes… the blue collar folks on the picnic tables, sucking on oysters and shrimp and pitchers of beer while the sticky-faced, shoeless children ran around and danced. I sat alone, sipping a cheap brew, relaxing in the warmth and easiness of the day, when the band hit the first chords of Simple Man. The singer, no more than 95 pounds including long, stringy hair, drew a breath like he was about to say the most important words ever spoken. The crowd turned and fixated…. the song began… and every voice out there joined in with all they had inside. The song represented everything real and true about who they were, who WE were… God’s creations living on His planet in a natural state… remembering what matters most, and what matters not. As the chorus rose up and rang through the beach, I looked at every face there, holding and remembering them and the way I felt in the warm easy sun, and the beauty of the voices lifted together, and vowed to remember it always as one of those moments you never expect, but which are, by the grace of God, the most beautiful.

There’s always more to the stories. In this one, the rest of the story is conduct that happened not involving the capture. And it arose solely because they were accused and the jihadist was given credibility. There comes a time when a military commander needs to look out for his troops, tell them ‘carry on, I’ll take the heat.’ That’s what I meant by a general as politician – more concerned about jeopardizing that next star than about his men, it would seem.

I think it’s too early to make that kind of assessment. Since no details are being given out, it could be pretty banal…or it could be really serious. It depends on what duty they neglected. From bits and pieces of info in several different versions of the story…it appears that they, or one of them anyway, was under orders to guard him from harm. If they took that opportunity to abuse him instead…that’s a pretty serious dereliction of duty.
Police officers have to learn to hold in their emotions when they are dealing with a cop killer, soldiers need to do the same. To ME it looks like an “across the bow” warning shot to the troops to not let their emotions run away with them in situations where the captured man has no defenses.
Which is why I think it will either be dropped, or they’ll get off with a slap on the wrist and maybe reassignment to a desk job for a while, to think it over.
Behavior on an actual field of battle should not, and should be be allowed to, spill over into off the field situations.

According to a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair survey, 26 percent of Americans rate Limbaugh as the most influential conservative voice, followed by Fox News host Glenn Beck at 11 percent. In a Washington Post poll, a plurality of Republicans say Palin best reflects their “party’s core values,” and they would vote for her “if the presidential nomination battle were held today.” Two people who don’t fare as well in the Post poll are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney:
Just 1 percent pick George W. Bush as the best reflection of the party’s principles, and only a single person in the poll cites former vice president Richard B. Cheney. About seven in 10 say Bush bears at least “some” of the blame for the party’s problems.

Trying to keep it short and not-so-sweet, it is the liberals’ last fall back line when they cannot think of any other reason that Obowo is such a complete and abject failure as a president.
He cannot be at fault. And that is because they cannot see that they were actually stupid enough to vote for that incompetent knee bending fool, SO, the logical progression is that if they weren’t as stupid as it is now beginning to appear on an hourly basis, then Obowo is not as incompetent as it now appears, thusly, any deviations from their self delusional state is that it must be Bush’s fault, because it certainly is not theirs or the Golden Child from Kenya.

If I may offer, wasn’t she like half a million in debt due to legal bills due to her opponents (and one guy in particular) filing ethic complaint after ethic complaint? Seems a pretty vile way to ‘get’ someone, especially considering the lack of momentous findings in all those cases.
So she resigns, then does the book deal and tour. Seems reasonable. She’s no longer on the public dime and she can pay off the bills. Would’ve been more of a problem if she’d have stayed on and done the book deal tour.

Well, she is resilient, isn’t she?
I didn’t catch many of her interviews, but I did catch the foreign policy and general policy interview done by O’Reilly. She acquitted herself well. If her purpose is to show she has a grasp of issues on a par with, say, SecState Clinton, then she’s on the road to redemption. In a couple years I’ll venture the story line will be ‘what we saw during the election was a result of political handlers. What we’ve seen since is what’s been there all along.” At least, that’s how I’d advise her to play it.
It was kinda funny, after her BOR interview BOR had on a woman he calls on often, a liberal radio host. I forget her name. Anyhow, she said what I was thinking – on Afg and Iran she was pretty general, hardly any specifics. BOR said “yeah, so? Obama’s been in going on a year and he doesn’t have any answers for those two either.”

Sorry Paul but your reasoning is flawed. Palin and Washington attorney John Coale set up a PAC and legal defense fund which virtually eliminated the accumulated legal debt that Palin had racked up. In addition, Palin was using state funds to pay legal costs prior to her selection as VP candidate. The McCain camp stepped in and said it would be politically improper to continue to do that so the legal bills began to accumulate as personal debt. Once the election was over, that restriction should have ended. Palin claims that the McCain campaign promised to pay those bills. She says that if they had prevailed in the election, the campaign would have quietly paid the bill. The McCain camp denies this agreement.
In short, she had other options to raise money to pay the bills aside from quitting.
Bill and Hillary Clinton had MILLIONS in legal bills and settlement costs relating to WhiteWater, Lewinsky and Paula Jones. I can assure you, not one single penny of that money came from either Bill’s or Hillary’s personal accounts.

At $20M+/year, she would be after him if he were a card carrying communist wearing Mao Tse Tung underwear.
I see you have a typo in your post tagline:
It SHOULD read: Conservatives rock

Recent studies have shown that cows are happy only if you don’t clean up their cow patties. Further, they are not angered by red as was once thought. As it turns out, the people that would head out into the cow fields to inspect the fungi growth in the cow patties would use red handkerchiefs to temporarily store their harvest of magic mushrooms and it was the theft of the cow’s mushrooms that truly got them riled up. It all makes sense now. Why else would any animal be happy walking around in its own poop all day, every day.

Dandy Don is singing in the background and I just placed a red X next to my Pats pick. Final for the weekend was 18-2 in College and 12-4 in the pros.

People who are urging us to do things to win the approval of other countries seem to put an excessive value on other country’s approval, as distinguished from their respect that we can lose by such bowing to “world opinion.” Do the world champion New York Yankees try to curry favor with teams that are also-rans?-Thomas Sowell
It’s not about us, it’s about world girlie, mmm, mmmm, mmmmm!

Yes Conservatives rock.
“Susan Richardson also claims that when she recently took a weekend trip with a new boyfriend and left her children with Glenn Richardson, their father, the House speaker sent her dozens of text and e-mail messages threatening to beat her up, to accuse her of abandoning her children and to use the Georgia state patrol and Georgia Bureau of Investigation to locate her.”
I guess Glenn Richardson confused rocking with stoning when he threatened to beat his ex-wife up…
You reps sure ain’t the smartest knives in the drawer, sending threats in traceable text messages, but they do rock…
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Just lookin’ this morning and most all of what I see are the backward looks (of envy, no doubt) at Sarah Palin.
She, like many flashbulbs, are bright for a moment but soon gone. The only ones that seem to keep bringing up her name are the leftist toadies of the bowing bumbler. She is, in my opinion,like AmWet for instance – a has been that never was and never will be, but can huff and puff up a good story on occasion.
You know, yesterday I wrote something in essence that the reason the left keeps bringing up the “it’s all Bush’s fault line…” was because those that use it were so angry that they had been duped by Obowo, and are very angry that their ignorance and continued support of the Kenyan Keystone Kop (KKK) made them look, well, just plain stupid, in retrospect.
After careful analysis of statements made and positions taken behind Mr KKK (I like this new moniker… the irony in it is ironic), I have come to the very studied conclusion that those expressing the most support still are in fact, that stupid after all.
You know, definitions can be very important in discerning differences in labels; for instance, I look at calling someone ignorant as not necessarily an insult, it just means that they are not in possession of the facts, therefore are not totally aware, or are ignorant of the reality.
Stupid, however, is very much an insult. I feel that a stupid person is one that is in possession of the facts, but simply chooses against reason or intellect to maintain that position despite fact to the contrary.
The logical conclusion therefore means that Obowo supporters are just plain stupid … or ignorant, because they simply be hiding themselves from reality, which then leads to being perhaps mentally challenged.
Have a nice day tools, I am off to the golf course (again) to attempt to correct some minor swing flaws. If things go as yesterday, there may be an eBay alert on partially used golf equipment this evening.
