One suspects my fellow alum Skins is readying for another Great Purge, that of the anti-war primitives. Wait, and see if I'm not right.

If you don't agree with Obama's Afghan troop escalation - why did you vote for him??
He's been saying he was going to do this all along and you all supported him throughout.
Don't blame the supporters of the troop escalation for Obama's decision or somehow insinuate we're warmongers and should all enlist.
You should go enlist and you're just as much of a war supporter as any of the rest of us because you voted Obama into office.
Try doing one of two things please, either admit that you don't fully understand the circumstances behind Afghanistan but you trust Obama is doing what is best for the country and support him or shut the hell up and look in the mirror. If you didn't want the surge you shouldn't have voted for it...and yes, you DID vote for it.
It's a big bonfire, so only the PoP:

this isn't rocket science. I voted for him DESPITE his Afghanistan position, not because of it. I didn't forfeit my right to criticize him.

6. Another plea by angry war cheer leaders to STFU
This one is not well reasoned or well written.

73. Bush lied this country into war and there is no perfect choice to rectify the damage of last 8yrs
BUT....I will give Obama the 18 months he's looking for to achieve a ground situation that will allow for the withdrawal plan to be implemented.

8. Because I thought he'd do something about warantless wiretapping and other stuff
Wait until the mountain man primitive finds out what Bo's likely to do with his social security retirement check.

38. Given the choices available to all of us at the time:
John McSame and NitWit Palin vs. Obama/Biden...I suppose a lot of people picked the lesser of two evils if they didn't support war.
I just find it interesting the promises Obama made that he's kept so far vs. the promises he hasn't kept. Do some research on that and see what turns up.

56. Well, he told us he could be swayed. We made the mistake of thinking he meant by us.
Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake of voting for this liar again.

76. His support for a continutation of Bush's policies in Afghanistan was a deal breaker for me.
But, I respect the people who did vote for him in hope that he had more sense and ethics to do so.
