This is a president who wants to go down as the nation’s greatest POTUS in history, yet he is facing a firing squad on both sides. Give his hand chosen commander on the ground what General McCrystal says it will take to accomplish the mission (as he said he would do WHEN he was campaigning) and be fired on by his far left base; or….
lose the war in Afghanistan, cut and run, and go down in history as another LBJ who was unwilling to take the gloves off to really win a war and be fired on by the rest of the nation as we hang our heads in shame again, repeating history from 40 years ago.

What to do….what to do….what to do…..

The idiot puppet of the puppetmasters Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, is looking for any excuse not to make the decision that ultimately lies with him, learning that leading a nation is a hellofa lot harder than reading speeches off a teleprompter during campaigns. He is also learning that 15 years from now, no one will remember the names of those who are advising him, but they will remember his name and it will either be tied to victory (a word he said he was “uncomfortable” with) or defeat. LBJ lost the war in Southeast Asia, but the man who held office when we withdrew in defeat got the blame, Richard Milhouse Nixon.

There is another choice: continue the status quo, racking up dead soldiers for us to bury here back home because they are denied the force they need to win. It is my guess, that will be Obama’s choice as he tries to play the game, hoping that enough dead bodies in flag drapped coffins will turn the entire nation against Afghanistan and he can look presidential, serving the people’s wishes, when he withdraws.

Considering his reaction to Fort Hood and the terrorist (ooops, excuse me…man-made disaster) attack there, it is clear that our soldiers are not his first concern. Even Clinton did not look as uncomfortable around our military as our first [Kenyan] president does. But oh, how those caskets at Dover presented a prime photo-op opportunity, didn’t they?

I can honestly say that, although I disagreed with him on almost every policy issue, I did not hate Bill Clinton and have a standard of not hating any president.

I have decided to make an exception to that rule in Barack Hussein Obama’s case and am beginning to wonder if the damage I think he is capable of can ever be repaired.

Perhaps his bowing to the Saudi prince was a more revealing act than any of us thought.
