That's because when you look at the actual policy there is no substantive or common sense argument that supports it. That's always been the lefts MO. Kill the messenger and you kill the message. When you argue strictly the message liberalism looses every time. It looses because it fails every time it's tried.

was/is as long as it is Bush (or Palin or Cheney or who ever) no matter the subject...the result is a character/party bashing. When a question is asked about an Obama position....or if one disagrees with an Obama position, statement or what ever....that is interpreted by the same bashers as bashing Obama. The questions usually have nothing to do with his character or person (or color)....just the issue.....but most of the Obama supporters ALWAYS take the position of any non conformance is bashing.

The other cinsistency is the Obama supporters, to date, will never present their case for why they are in support of a given Obama issue being challenged....NONE to date. And the ongoing question....now why is that???

Unfortunately this post is right on !

I always wonder why supporters of our President NEVER say why except in platitudes, NEVER about what he has done or what he is doing....ONLY his words that never translate to action.

And you are correct...if you disagree with the policy you are attacking the man...it is very predictable !

Also if you disagree with Obama you are a racist.

Could you please supply a link or something to validate your comment...

"And the Army doesn't have em till we draw down in Iraq."

Thanks

I was under the impression that the strategy....never really defined just called "strategy"....announced in March is under review and the request for more troops is on hold until the WHO makes a decision on a new strategy !

Appreciate your help on the Iraq holding back the troops thing !

Bucco...It was discussed on The News Hour so that is where I got it. They also talked about the Army needing 6 months for training and the Marines 3 months. We have been in Iraq and Afghanistan for a long time now .... my nephew is gearing up for his 5th tour, Marines and the other will be sent for his 1st tour this summer, Army Reserves.

Today on The Week they discussed military equipment....the bad shape that it is in. But I will look for a link.

I would appreciate that very much as I have never heard this from any source, but based on your post will do some searching at a few military sites

Got the following infor.

there are 65,000 troops in Afghanastan approx

There are 125,000 troops in Iraq approx

3,000 are presently earmarked to Afghanastan by end of this year.

There is a substantial reduction scheduled in Iraq early next year and there should not be much stress in fullfilling the request IF the President wants to go that way !
