Don't like to be an "I told you so"..but..

  Nine more Americans murdered in Afghanistan today...
   http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_afghanistan

  When the Obama administration reopened the Afghan war, that was a bad move...but when he also forced upon our troops the "new rules of engagement" which favors enemy lives over our own troops, it was setting a recipe for disaster.  I and others have been harping on this since he issued those troop endangering orders.
  I said that instead of as in Iraq where our troops were getting killed one or two at a time (bad enough)...but I was told by the troops themselves that Obama's brainstorm of PC was going to result in our guys getting killed by handsfuls.
  No  prophet here...just common sense, experience and listening to troops who "have been there, done that"...unlike the Boy/King !

I saw this. Saddening at the least. Limited warfare, isn't.

When you are around a group of people that has done this before and will do it again. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. PAY ATTENTION.  THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE IN A HELL HOLE LIKE THAT. WAKE UP.

You know this leads me to a question I have had for some time now: Now that Obama is president where is all the yammering from the media about wanting to film the caskets of K.I.A.'s returning to the U.S. for burial?

It seems americans dying in 3rd world crap holes is no longer a problem not that we have a "just' president fighting a "just" war.
Hi NSA! Can you see how many fingers I am holding up?

  Now Lakota;
  You must realize that as in Libya, Obama doesn't commit to war...but trather to non-war.  He drops non-bombs upon Ghadaffi's headquarters which isn't there .
   He never causes 'collateral damage", simply since there is no action ..there just can't be damage..

   Remember..Not "war" ..but "kinetic exercizes"... ;) :D ;D          ....Hey!  The sippers will buy into it !

On Public TV they have also seemed to have forgotten about showing the pictures and names of the fallen US soldiers in the Mideast on the Jim Lehrer Newshours on Fridays Nights. What would a liberal shout? Shame Shame Shame

We are wasting the wealth of our nation on those wars when we don't have much left. With an unsustainable debt to GDP, we are making America less safe. Why do those young people volunteer to be slaves of an oppressive regime? Is it the propaganda? They have my sympathy. They should realize that they are not making us any more free. The second amendment is what makes us free.
The sole purpose of government is to protect your liberty. The Constitution is not to restrict the people, but to restrict government.  Ron Paul

The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. - Thomas Jefferson

  When the Obama administration reopened the Afghan war, that was a bad move...

When the Bush administration abandoned Afghanistan to go into Iraq was the worst move. I was behind Bush 100% when he took us  into Afghanistan, but was 100% against the Iraq invasion.. 100% against Obama for NOT getting us out of the region altogether...........like he promised he would do...Ha Ha
