Ok, so we for once agree on something, i.e., that the OP is BULLSHIT.

Ah. You like semantics. Yes. The President did invoke the term "war" on more than one occasion. Not many, but yes he HAD used the term.
If you think that invalidates the point made in the OP, then you are not being honest and there's no real purpose served in having a further chat with you on this topic.
He's escalated the Afghan war and increased targeted attacks on suspected Al Qaeda. What more do you want?
Not only is he trying to clean up Bush's mess in Iraq, he's now fighting terrorists affiliated with people BUSH released from Gitmo.
How did he escalate the Afghan war? How did he increase targeted attacks on suspected Al Qaida?
I want some proof that he did so? Because he didn't.
Well let's look at Bush's last year for afghanistan:
"Documents show more than a 30 percent increase in attacks on Afghan roads
In 2008, Taliban and al Qaeda attacks increased 31 percent
There was also a 60 percent rise in civilian deaths in 2008"

After 7 years the Bush admin really royally still had it all fucked up.
Obama was in office for less than a month before he escalated the war.

Do you ever stop whining?
obama inherited 'bare bones' and is building it back up.
Comments like these are truly old and worn already.
obama inherited 'bare bones' and is building it back up.
It's been a whole year. The I inherited it nonsense doesn't work any more.
The commander of Afghanistan has been pleading for more troops and resources for many months, and new toops and resources still hasn't come despite, Obama finally making an announcement to send troops.
In any case, Afghanistan is one front, Iraq, is another front, and Yemen is still another.

The documents, based on NATO statistics, show more than a 30 percent increase in such attacks on Afghan roads around the country from January to December 2008
Also, the commander in Afghanistan shouldn't have to beg Obama for more troops and resources. Obama should make sure they were provided for, before it got to this sad state.

General Calls for More U.S. Troops to Avoid Afghan Failure
September 20, 2009
WASHINGTON The top military commander in Afghanistan warns in a confidential assessment of the war there that he needs additional troops within the next year or else the conflict will likely result in failure.
The grim assessment is contained in a 66-page report that the commander, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, submitted to Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates on Aug. 30, and which is now under review by President Obama and his top national security advisers.
The disclosure of details in the assessment, reported Sunday night by The Washington Post, coincided with new skepticism expressed by President Obama about sending any more troops into Afghanistan until he was certain that the strategy was clear.
His remarks came as opposition to the eight-year-old war within his own party is growing.
General McChrystals view offered a stark contrast, and the language he used was striking.
Failure to gain the initiative and reverse insurgent momentum in the near term (next 12 months) while Afghan security capacity matures risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible, General McChrystal writes.
A copy of the assessment, with some operational details removed at the Pentagons request to avoid compromising future operations, was posted on The Posts Web site.
In his five-page commanders summary, General McChrystal ends on a cautiously optimistic note: While the situation is serious, success is still achievable.
But throughout the document, General McChrystal warns that unless he is provided more forces and a robust counterinsurgency strategy, the war in Afghanistan is most likely lost.[/COLOR]
...Mr. Obama and his advisers have said they need time to absorb the assessment of the Afghanistan security situation that General McChrystal submitted three weeks ago a separate report from the generals expected request for forces as well as the uncertainties created by the fraud-tainted Afghan elections.

You are admitting seven years of neo-con mismanagement took at least one year of BHO's term to figure out how to fix it and get going. Thank you.

Then why are you complaining if the neo-cons did a good job. You are in a dilemma, between a rock and a hard space. You have lost either way you go.

The commander has been begging for troops from Obama. Obama at the end of this year, finally made a decision to send more troops.
Do you have any evidence that Pres. Bush didn't give the commander troops that he requested from him?
