Nail on the Head, the simple fact is that we are proud of what we do, and i am tired of the anti war BS. I accutually went to a wedding when we went stateside in Pensacola, when I was wearing my Full Dress after the whole reception, I was accosted by a man who called me a baby killer, it took three officers to keep me from getting at him. I believe you are right, get those Harvard liberals. I have seen bad things and they could never know what we do, but we fight for their right to say stupid things. Those people sickin me.

Democrats or may I say hypocrites and their support
Sure now this is a WAR we need to win. The only problem is none of you Liberals want to go over there and fight? We send the same troops back and forth its time we draft some of those weak anti war Liberals in Harvard or Berkeley. Now it's a WAR because Odumma is supposedly the chief, sorry he is incompetent and truly a liability to all. But getting back to sending troops lets start the draft and bring in some fresh recruits from Harvard and Berkeley than we would be doing a justice to our troops.We need the elitists serving instead of talking. Come on you fat cat wimps show some support instead of the whining.

Chamberlain was a poll watcher - Churchill, not so much. I'm thinkin' we need to channel Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt right about now. What'da we got? Brown and Obama - may as well channel Lou and Bud or Stan and Ollie.

Please stop reading your bible and spend more time with grade school grammar. That way perhaps we could understand what points you are trying to get across.
Polls . . .
And your suggestion, Allen, is do what the polls tell you to do?
Like the "polls" are the benchmark of what we should do?!
That's akin to taking a poll from my children and asking them to you want whole wheat cereal for breakfast? I already know their resounding answer: "No!" But guess what? They are going to get a healthy breakfast which will likely include whole wheat cereal. They certainly are not going to get Fruit Loops, or Lucky Charms!
My point is this: sure, the polls may demonstrate waning support, but we absolutely, unequivicably stay the course. Now is not the time for Obama or military commanders to vacillate. Stop expecting America's military to be glorified policeman. Give them the leash and resources and let them pound these Taliban terrorist peasants into oblivion. Let them prosecute the war. Let them do what they do best.
Should the president vacillate then he needs to be reminded of his very words, "Our troops and our NATO allies are performing heroically in Afghanistan, but I have argued for years that we lack the resources to finish the job because of our commitment to Iraq. That's what the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said earlier this month. And that's why, as President, I will make the fight against Al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be. This is a war that we have to win…. We need more troops, more helicopters, more satellites, and more Predator drones in the Afghan border region. And we must make it clear that if Pakistan cannot or will not act, we will take out high-level terrorist targets like bin Laden if we have them in our sights. …Make no mistake: we can’t succeed in Afghanistan or secure our homeland unless we change our Pakistan policy."
Is he true to his word or is he the "Vacillator in Chief?" Does he "Man-up? Or does he get a bigger skirt?
We shall see.
Your president
Not much more needed said than he Obama is a Failure! Why support incompetence.
