Obama On The Campaign Trail In 2008: “We Cannot Wait” To Send More Troops To Afghanistan

“There’s not enough troops, not enough resources and not enough urgency” in Bush’s plan for Afghanistan:


The situation in Afghanistan is “precarious and urgent” and “we cannot wait” to send more troops and resources:

Meanwhile, now that he’s President, Obama can’t make a decision on Afghanistan.

    Obama as our President:

    Obama approves Afghanistan troop increase

    WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Barack Obama has approved a significant troop increase for Afghanistan, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.he new troop deployment is expected to include 8,000 Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, as well as 4,000 additional Army troops from Fort Lewis, Washington.

    “This increase is necessary to stabilize a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, which has not received the strategic attention, direction and resources it urgently requires,” Obama said in a written statement.

    “The Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan, and al Qaeda supports the insurgency and threatens America from its safe haven along the Pakistani border.” See what CNN’s Barbara Starr says about the increase on the AC360 blog

    Another 5,000 troops will be deployed at a later date to support combat troops, bringing the total to 17,000 the Defense Department said. A senior administration official confirmed the total.

    All 17,000 troops announced Tuesday will go to the southern region of the country where Afghanistan borders Pakistan, with the goal mainly being to stop the flow of foreign fighters, according to a U.S. military official with direct knowledge of the deployment and military plans for Afghanistan.

    He did send more troops to Afghanistan.
    Now what, nutters?

  • sayanything-2

    Yep, another 12 hours and no proof of your claim that Christians are using terrorism to force people to convert to Christianity. Why is that, whiny lying c&nt?

  • Hanni

    And you can keep pretending you don’t sniff Bush’s ever bowell movement, but you defend him from people who haven’t even attacked him. You’re like a mother looking over her baby birds. And were supposed to believe you don’t love Bush. Yeah right.

    Only a moron could be against the war from the beginning only to support it later after imagining they actually found WMDs.

    That’s why you are the spinning idiot, DJ.

  • sayanything-4272

    The occupation of Afghanistan serves no useful purpose for the citizens of the United States. Obama needs to end Bush’s quagmire.

  • Hanni

    So says the guy who has a worshipping picture of his dear leader as his avatar. *ROLLS EYES*

    The troops needed to be there BEFORE the leadership in Afghanistan went weak kneed and before the situation got worse, in terms of their commitment to work with us and help.

    Karzai is losing his nerve and his mental commitment to America on this issue. We didn’t even know who was going to be elected. You can’t just send in troops without considering how that will impact our ability to get the job done.

    Cons are careless with our troops and their lives, and merely play political games with the military. Shameful Kenny and Rob.

  • sayanything-2

    Where is all your proof that Christians are using terrorism to force people to convert to Christianity, whiny lying c$nt?

  • Hanni

    So says the fool who is defending Bush from all attacks before he is even blamed. That’s what you Avatar is.

    And you never admit when you are wrong, and pretend to be an authority on everything even though you have experience in nothing.

    What a joke.

  • sayanything-2

    boob, those were troops ALREADY alocated to go to Afghanistan, forces rotation. Now what, nutter?

  • sayanything-42

    That was Candidate Obama, not to be confused with President Obama.

  • sayanything-2

    Another thread where sanni is cry&ratsh*tting. Too funny! Now tell us again that camp means campaign, we all love laughing at your stupid a$$.

  • sayanything-2

    All of you leftards keep claiming it. What do you think “occupation” means, you whiny lying c*nt? Where is all your proof that Christians are using terrorism to force people to convert to Christianity,

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    And you never admit when you are wrong, and pretend to be an authority on everything even though you have experience in nothing. What a joke.

    Hanni’s autobiography in 26 words! He’s getting better at this whole navel gazing thing!

  • sayanything-2

    So, sanni? You are calling your boy Barri a “con”? Really? You need to go passout, the meth is really f*cking you up this morning.

  • sayanything-2

    Hey, Norway Boy? You have yet to provide that proof that America has claimed Afdghanistan as it’s territory. Why is that?

  • sayanything-2

    Where is all your proof that Christians are using terrorism to force people to convert to Christianity, whiny lying c$nt?

  • Hanni

    Your desire to call Powerll a liar and to disrespect him is exactly what I expect from a hypocrite who adored Powell when he supported your pet war, for your hero Bush.

    Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.

  • j.l.

    That`s because he`s BasedBob- there`s no reality in there.

  • sayanything-2

    Greece and Asia Minor, inextricably intertwined throughout all of human history. But hey, keep spewing your lies, its all you have.

  • sayanything-42

    Nah.

    He’s blackwaterboob, the self convicted and unrepentant racist and SAB troll. Someday y’all will figure that out and quit feeding his ego…

  • http://fu.com/ robert108

    On the other hand, killing your terrorist allies is great for the American people.
    You Dems wanted a quagmire, and now you got your wish, but it’s Obama’s quagmire of lies.

  • sayanything-43

    What, you can’t vote present when you’re the President?

  • sayanything-42

    Wow…

    sparkless-pig-fuckin-buckle the “pandering ninny” and apoligist for racists makes a foray into frank racism:

    Obama is a f**king hawk.

    Black people should never vote again after this.

    We always knew you had it in you, sparkless.

  • Hanni

    ..but Obama waiting and waiting and waiting to address the problem is admirable apparently.

    That’s what Colin Powell says, and i trusted him during Bush, and I trust him now. But who is showing their double standards now, but the Bush worshipper.

    Too funny.

  • sayanything-2

    Wow, sanni, you twist and turn and lie better than Colon Powell does. Bravo!

  • Hanni

    And Powell’s advice to Obama was to not rush to make a decision, and to take his time. And that is a direct contradiction to your stupid and hypocritical argument. You tool.

  • Hanni

    The same Powell who has the decency to admit he fought the intelligence and questioned it, before he had to do his duty. He is the only high profile Bush admin member to be honest about the manipulation of intelligence that was going on.

    And there is a difference between lying, and manipulating intelligence.

  • Hanni

    When Powell supported the war I was virulantly anti-war. As I have pointed out REPEATEDLY, I was extremely anti-war and voted for John Kerry. I came around when we started finding WMDs and all my anti-war nonsense was proven wrong. Or, in your simpler terms, I acknowledged my error and changed my view when the facts didn’t fit my preconceived notions.

    You are so stupid. But not only are you stupid, you don’t even know history.

    George Bush invaded Iraq BEFORE Kerry ran for president you idiot. And no WMDs were ever found.

    I supported the war only because Powell and Blair made me believe Bush had something he wasn’t telling us, not only was he manipulating intelligence, but he was also wrong.

    So you have it totally backwards and/or you are lying.

  • sayanything-9974

    All hot air and bluster – That’s what the Dem/Libs must do get elected. They are masters of the bait and switch. If his lips are moving he is lying. Simple as that.

  • sayanything-453

    Well, if you put put it that way, aren’t we occupying Iraq and trying to do the same with Afganistan, you lying rotten sardine smelling vagina?

  • sayanything-1317

    So, instead of admitting error, you simply change tactics and say it proves you right. But both the picture, and my use of it, followed the ridiculous claims that the left made. My decision to use it on this blog was primarily because of you, Dino, and a few others.

    Your criticism rings hollow with your previous avatar of a drunken Bush, insulting him with every post.

    And you calling anyone on refusal to admit error is HILARIOUS. Even if it was correct, though it’s of course not.

  • sayanything-453

    Sure they were. That does not mean Greece is located in Asia Minor.

  • sayanything-1317

    Haven’t you heard? Afghanistan is the only place that matters in the world.

    So sayeth your god, I mean, Obama.

  • sayanything-453

    The proof is in the pudding.

  • sayanything-1317

    The same Powell who supposedly helped “lie” us into Iraq? The horrible war where evil Republicans sign up to go in the army and shoot unarmed innocent brown people? Don’t talk to me about double standards tool. That’s a HUGE one!

    Moreover, what was Powell’s advice? “Make sure you think your choice is right.” Hard hitting stuff. Maybe next time he can talk to Dr. Phil?

  • sayanything-453

    And you are the unintelligent ex Naval intelligence officer who does not know where Greece is on a world map.
    The shame.
    Someday you will figure it out and I will stop reminding you of your stupidity.

  • sayanything-1317

    Moreover, let’s point out that this is coming from the guy who referred to all our soldiers as psychopaths who couldn’t wait to “go shoot innocent brown people”.

    Hanni was so concerned with Bush “ignoring” Afghanistan, even though the troop and money levels kept going up…but Obama waiting and waiting and waiting to address the problem is admirable apparently.

    Double standards are fun!

  • sayanything-7805

    That was from Feb 2009, uh care to join reality, nine months later commanders are still asking for more troops

  • sayanything-1317

    No there isn’t. Manipulating intelligence to prove a false point is…say it with me. A LIE.

    If it was a lie, as Powell contends, then he is filth for pushing it. If it isn’t a lie, then Powell is filth for coming forward and besmirching good men and women in pushing a new lie. Either way, Powell is not to be trusted, as, by his own admission, he is a liar. If the evidence was sooooooooo false, he could’ve come forward when it mattered and resigned. Then, as a civilian, he could’ve said…this is a faulty war, and we shouldn’t fight it. Or, even if he hadn’t done that, he’d have clean hands, as he didn’t help push a BS war.

    Like every liberal, you now love Powell for coming to your side, when you used to call him a liar and a war monger and an Uncle Tom and all other garbage. Now he’s your hero, and like other sites, you call him a brilliant man. YOUR hypocracy is the only one on display. But I can see where someone coming forward and saying “Now I know I lied a lot before…but now NOW I’m telling the truth would find support with someone like you.”

    And his advice was crap. “Do the right thing” is an after school special, not the advice of a man who was briefed daily on the realities of Afghanistan, and who still has his ear in circles to learn intel. If he’s so brilliant, why not advise Obama on what to do instead of giving him a glorified “follow your heart Simba”?

    You’re a joke, Hanni. And sometimes, I think even you realize it.

  • sayanything-1317

    So says the fool who still cannot admit error after I pointed out (yet again) the caption under my picture. And so says the Halfwit from Hawaii after refusing to acknowledge that I was more critical of Bush from a factual standpoint than every leftist who’s looked at this blog combined.

    You know, what are facts to Hanni, except inconvenient truths to ignore?

  • SteveCan

    Barack Insane Obama,
    mmmmm mmmm mmmmmmmm

  • sayanything-81

    Obama is a f**king hawk.

    Black people should never vote again after this.

  • sayanything-453

    Why should he provide such proof?
    Who and where has anyone claime such a thing?

  • sayanything-453

    The proof is in the pudding.

  • sayanything-1317

    When Powell supported the war I was virulantly anti-war. As I have pointed out REPEATEDLY, I was extremely anti-war and voted for John Kerry. I came around when we started finding WMDs and all my anti-war nonsense was proven wrong. Or, in your simpler terms, I acknowledged my error and changed my view when the facts didn’t fit my preconceived notions.

    And you’re too stupid to get off your “OMG, you love Bush” crap to acknowledge reality.

    That’s why you’re the halfwit from Hawaii.

  • sayanything-453

    Why is it you see racism everywhere but unable to see that Greece is not in Asia Minor?

  • sayanything-4416

    The occupation of Afghanistan serves no useful purpose for the citizens of the United States.

    That depends on how many young republicans we can get to sign up and ship out.
