Obama on Afghanistan: "this is not a war of choice, this is a war of necessity" Updated at 7:55 AM
Obama: Afghan war secures America
Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:53:28 GMT
US President Barack Obama says there will be no quick or easy victory over the Taliban, noting that the war in Afghanistan is crucial in protecting Americans from terrorism.
Talking in a meeting of veterans in Arizona on Monday, Obama tried to step up the campaign in Afghanistan. “The insurgency in Afghanistan didn't just happen overnight and we won't defeat it overnight," he said.
US administration is sending 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan, therefore the success or failure of the mission of US forces in the war-torn country is crucial for its future plans in the region.
"This will not be quick, nor easy. But we must never forget this is not a war of choice, this is a war of necessity," he said. "If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which al-Qaeda would plot to kill more Americans," he said.

So big 0 is continuing on with Bush's illegal war and not one call for frog marches or impeachment.
DU wanted to frogmarch * before the first shot was even fired.

3. I disagree - imo it is a war of choice. Terrorists should be handled...
...like other crime groups & with coordination between law enforcement from many countries.
Yep its a job for the police (another group despised by the DUmp) :whatever:

5. No, Mr. Obama, you are incorrect, and sadly
you are following in the footsteps of your predecessor.
Afghanistan is a fool's errand, as are ALL hostile occupations, and like those before us, this will not end well.
What no demands for impeachment for this war criminal?

10. So, in other words, "We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here..."
Good one, O.
Uttering those words was an impeachable offense for * so where are your calls for impeachment?

26. It's war of CYA political necessity to show that he's "tough on terror".
And, to not have to acknowledge (another) lost war.
Wow so Obama is doing this to make the small minority of people who don't agree with you happy? :rotf:
Its funny watching them shrug their shoulders as Obama is committing *war crimes.
* War crimes as defined by DU for the past 6 years or so.

What war is that? Last one we "lost" was Vietnam, thanks to cheese eating surrender monkeys like this one.

I'm waiting to see what happens when Dear Leader starts/escalates a war with Pakistan. :popcorn:

I hope he's not nuts or naive enough to do that, though I can see it happening if Pakistan implodes and he sees it as necessary for someone who is not India to step in and impose order.

If Pakistan implodes we will have to go in so we can secure their Nuclear weapons and keep them out of the mits of terrorist groups!

We could probably neutralize the nuke sites with SOF and air assets, assuming there was still anything there to hit instead of it all winging its way to India when we show up, or the Indians don't jump first, but sticking around on the ground to quell things is completely beyond our capabilities.

And the Libs wonder why I say that if the terrorists and/or Communists ever took over this country THEY (the Libs) would be the first ones killed.
The Dummies have proven that not only will they turn on their own country...now they're even willing to turn on the man they voted for.

If that Oboma character keeps f-ing up, impeachment will be the last of his worries. Lefty communist have a long history of "aborting" their mouthpieces who fail to bring the desired dynamics to the front. Remember JFK?
