Jon – Undercutting McChrystal just opens the opportunity that the war will continue on long after it is necessary. Give him the troops and enjoy the victory.

Debbie – Thank you and your son for your sacrifices.

RT – Nope. Obama is the smartest man in the room. Just ask him.

Ingineer66 – Frak compromise. Get the job done, O!

McCrystal actually asked for 40,000 to 65,000 more troops, but the media has been reporting as 40k because they know Obama is going to undercut the minimum requested to achieve victory and make it sound like a compromise between the Pres and the military. A real compromise would have been 50,000.

Yeah, so 34,000 just smacks of arrogance: “I’m in control and I will decide what it is best, because I am the ONE and I know ALL. Can’t he just listen to the guys who know about matters of warfare?

My name is Debbie and my son is a member in the 5th Stryker Brigade 1-17 ID fighting in Afghanistan. I can’t just sit here any longer while the extra troops they need are being pushed on the back burner. I created a YouTube video and I hope you can help by watching it and passing it along. We need to keep our Soldiers in the forefront and I don’t know how else to help them. Please help me and view this video immediately and pass it on. This comes straight from the heart of the mother of an American Soldier. Here is a link to the video. This can’t become yesterdays news.

I know obambi loves Lincoln so maybe he’s treating McChrystal like Lincoln did McClellan and undercutting his requests so he can feel historic.

I love Rurik’s ‘nom de guerre’ in the comment section for obambi though…’Dinglebarry’. LOLOLOL

In all seriousness, give the general the manpower he needs along with more helicopter support and about 10 times more predator drones…or..get off the pot dinglebarry.
