    Hang out and regroup until that point, and then you can kill even more of our remaining soldiers.

    Regards,

    Barack H. Obama
    President - United States of America

    What a turrrrible speech that was. What was he thinking when he compared the number of troop deaths in Iraq to the troop deaths in Afghanistan?

    *our* troops.

    Although I do think that "out" troops should be able to serve openly.

    I wasn't a big fan of W, and I didn't think it was possible, but I think Obama is making him look ok

    Bush STARTED and escalated 2 pointless wars for profit, murdering a couple hundred thousand civilians .

    Obama INHERITED these pointless wars and the seething hatred generated by them, and is expected to solve them.

    Like comparing Adolf Hitler to Jimmy Carter.

    Maris, comparing Obama to Hitler is unfair and I wish you'd stop.

    Just out of curiosity, do you object to this because he's withdrawing too many troops, or too few? I ask because he seems to be getting criticized by conservatives for both.
    Or is the fact that he announced the withdrawals? Or something else?

    Because while 100,000 of our soldiers can defend themselves, 90,000 cannot?

    I'd love to see Obama come up with a full withdrawal strategy over there. We've been there too long and aside from being the local police force, I'm not so sure we've made any substantial or lasting gains for the people there aside from protecting them from deeply oppressive radical religious sects.

    Announcing withdrawal 'of the surge' is a bit disappointing. That was supposed to be temporary anyway.

    that background he uses makes it look like propaganda like transmission.

    This headline made me chuckle:

    Obama Says US Not Deserting Afghanistan: ‘We Will Continue to Follow You on Twitter’
    Promises Strong Social Networking Ties with Afghan People

    Not one of Obama's better speeches.

    A token gesture for his lefty voters.

    Bring 'em ALL back home, or let Patraeus do his thing.

    Or maybe they're needed in Lybia.

    I think the U.S. should occupy every country in the world. In fact, I think the U.S. should nuke every other place in the world on the off chance that there's a potential enemy out there. You can't be too careful in this post-9/11 world!

    That's a start.

    Then we need to close all our airports, train and bus stations, and gas stations.

    Then shut down all sports arenas and shopping malls, schools and churches, and anywhere else Americans gather in large, vulnerable groups.

    Why bring some of them home by September 2012? Election time!

    Not much on principle.

    I say bring them ALL home, now.
