I'm surprised I don't hear more whining from the Wingnuts on this.
Okay, reality time. If anything, Obama has been more supportive of continuing missions in Iraq and Afghanistan than the American people are.
Put it to a national vote, we'd pull out tomorrow.
Where I criticize Obama is that he tried to look hawkish during the campaign of 2008 by calling Afghanistan the "War of Necessity". It really wasn't. He went along with the Surge AFTER Karzai stole the election in 2009, effectively destroying the argument that we were "supporting democracy".
The only thing Obama supports is his daily golf game. He doesn't believe in the military or anything they do.
your TEAM ignored OBL and AQ until our country was hit on its own soil.
Wait, our team was the Clinton Gore administration? Who knew?
or did you forget that we were attacked shortly after an administration change? One where the transition was delayed because Al Gore tried to cheat his way into the White House.
now what?
your precious right will say and do anything to avoid the blame they deserve
It certainly seems that way.
Of the Military itself?
Or the Military/Industrial Complex.
I was is in the military during 5 administrations and I never joined in with this so-called military complex.
Seems the guys that Clinton and Obama have a problem with is the average grunt. The fat-cats and the perfumed officer class rarely catches Hell from Democrats. As a matter of fact, they're part of the same cliche. Democrats run Washington and always have. If anything the corruption is well known and a symptom of the easy money that is doled out to friends of the administration. So the military complex isn't just one side's doing but everyone's.
I have been waiting to hear his views, wise man who is very well spoken...http://nbcpolitics.nbcnews.com/_new...adership-bidens-foreign-policy-chops#comments

I agree. This guy could care less about the military.
In fact I think he looks down on anyone in the military like they are beneath him.
Bush was an embarrassment and still is. His own party shuns him and he runs the risk of arrest if he leaves Texasss.
Obama walks softly and carries a big drone.
Bush did not do his job. He protected bin Laden and bi Laden's family. With Obama in office, a lot of terrorists look up at the sky these days.
Deal with it.
Bush is more popular now than Obama.
Deal with it.
Bush is Number One Hero to the bin Laden family.
All the dead and maimed Americans and Iraqis and Afghans?
Not so much.
Deal with THAT.
I have been waiting to hear his views, wise man who is very well spoken...
“I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades,” Gates wrote of Biden, whom he also described as a “man of integrity.”
"Hillary told the president that her opposition to the [2007] surge in Iraq had been political because she was facing him in the Iowa primary. . . . The president conceded vaguely that opposition to the Iraq surge had been political. To hear the two of them making these admissions, and in front of me, was as surprising as it was dismaying," Gates writes, according to the Post.
They threw Bush under the bus all the while they supported Iraq, classic Democrat lie their asses off to get into office...
How convenient...

You do know whose "team" was in charge for the prior 8 years. Right?
Thanks for being so clear this is a team sport for you and nothing more
Actually she thinks it's some sort game.
If you don't know that it IS a game to the war profiteers like Bush and Cheeny, you're a fool.
Robert Gates not Bill Gates. Mental block I guess.
The only thing Obama supports is his daily golf game. He doesn't believe in the military or anything they do.
I agree. This guy could care less about the military.

You're a fool:
"I never doubted Obama's support for the troops, only his support for their mission," Gates writes.

I've known plenty of veterans and nearly an equal number of them split along party lines.
But as Republicans and Conservatives in general seem to side with the wealthy and as such play a major role in awarding Military Contracts to private industry.
That's the "Complex" side.
And it seems to break mostly one way.
The only thing Obama supports is his daily golf game. He doesn't believe in the military or anything they do.
again, main reason why Obama was elected was because the American people were sick of the wars Bush lied us into.
Can't blame the man for doing (somewhat tepidly) what the people elected him to do.
Which lends credence to Gates assurtions that Obama's feelings on Iraq were purely political.
Obama was critical about the war and all he wanted was to disown it. He had no intention of winning. This to Gates was destructive to the mission. If Obama cannot manufacture a positive outcome he simply bails on it.

Then why did Obama throw 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan? 4 out of 5 casualties in Afghanistan have happened under Obama's watch.
As usual you contradict yourself with inane bullshit. Typical partisan hack.

I agree!
Gates calls the president's decision to order Navy SEALs to raid a house in Pakistan believed to be the hiding place of Osama bin Laden "one of the most courageous decisions I had ever witnessed in the White House."
