GENERALLY SPEAKING, JOHN McCAIN IS AN IDIOT

I made the comment in the previous post taking issue with our current crop of generals. In both Iraq and Afghanistan, each time a commander was changed he was gushed all over as the next "Patton" or something. Eight years of occupation with no progress, and don't tell me 75 civilian deaths instead of the usual 98 a month is progress, should be enough time to tell us these generals are at best a mediocre crop of buffoons in cool uniforms.




A good general will trade lives for land and victory. What the generals and the two idiots giving them orders for eight years, Bush and Cheney, did was trade lives for time. They were hoping that by just sacrificing the lives of our fine Soldiers that perhaps terrorists and insurgents would get tired and go away. Of course in their ignorance, they just kept creating more terrorists and insurgents. But their lives for time strategy also benefited Halliburton and other defense contractors so perhaps there was a method to their madness.






John McCain is also an idiot. To argue against a time limit shows him to be the sheltered and blind fool he is to his life and the right wing.





The time limit President Obama gave the Afghans last night sends them the right message. There is nothing wrong with telling a deadbeat to get his shit together. To do so without a deadline makes it meaningless. All McCain's way of thinking would mean to Karzai and his band of merry clowns is that in a a few months they will be told to get their shit together. In the meantime more terrorists and insurgents will be created and we will look weak, stupid and dishonest for propping up scumbags.







President Obama aid out the plan he had to lay out in order to keep a campaign promise. I'd much rather he give the order and bring our Troops home today. But we can't always get what we want. And President Obama also showed us that he will do what he thinks is right and not be afraid to stand before America and tell us why. Thank you Mr. President.
