The Bitter Pill of Afghanistan

It's been weeks now since General McChristy presented the president with his recommendation for more troops in Aghanistan, and still the president is mum. What an act of disrespect for the men and women fighting to keep Al Qaida and The Taliban at bay. The latest excuse is a lame one. Because of the corrupt elections there must be a run off to determine who will be the leader of this god forsaken country. We must wait until November 7th to find out who the leader will be, according to Raum Emanuel. What kind of logic is this? I'm beginning to believe that this whole administration is idiotic.
As more Americans are killed every day, Obama attends fundraisers in New York for the Democratic Party at $15,000 a head. He's sure worried about our brave fighting men and women, isn't he?
I've never been so ashamed of a leader in my life. I've had disagreements before with various presidents over the years, but to blatantly ignore the needs of our soldiers is a slap in the face of freedom.
I heard this morning that Obama is going to honor a group of Vietnam veterans for their efforts in that war. Is it an honest effort or merely a publicity ploy to take the heat off because of his attitude toward the Afghanistan situation?
Another rumored excuse is that he wanted his healthcare passed before he took on the war. What a sad commentary to our military's importance to this country. No wonder their morale is at an all time low. This is an embarrassment beyond measure. We must look ludicrous to our enemies.
I realize that this is a bitter pill for this adminstration to swallow. The left wing advocates want us out of there, and so do most Americans, but we're there fighting to keep terrorism at bay. But it's become a political war. If the generals would just let the men and women fight and quit pulling them back, maybe we could avoid all the comparisions to Viet Nam. Let them fight this war and end it, with victory. ~ One Voice
