that is my point ex........and, I know Obama has not yet ulitized our military....but he talked to General McChystal once since he took command of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan...THIS is just me and my opinion....we will soon see, how he handles the military.

we will fare no better than the Russians did in Afghanistan.  The general will think he can win it, but we can't.  We should be killing al quida not chasing a bunch of mujahadeen (sp?).

Excerpts from ...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/12/AR2009101202391.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

"Somebody explain this to me: The president of the United States wins the Nobel Peace Prize and Rush Limbaugh joins with the Taliban in bitterly denouncing the award?

Why, oh why, do conservatives hate America so?

Okay, I know, it's just some conservatives who've been exhibiting what they, in a different context, surely would describe as "Hanoi Jane" behavior.

Let the rejectionists fulminate and sputter until they wear their vocal cords out. Politically, they're only bashing themselves. As Republican leaders -- except RNC Chairman Michael Steele -- are beginning to realize, "I'm With the Taliban Against America" is not likely to be a winning slogan.

You will know they have, and have "the way" when limpball starts shitting in the fields.
