Midknight Review -- new and revised: You are aware that in just 12 months, Obama is done with Afghanistan. Good idea ?

Editor's notes: if Obama is true to his word (lol), he will pull the troops out of Afghanistan next July. What does that say about the hundreds of young men and women who have died during his tenure as Commander in Chief and the waste of life his decision represents? The LA Times has an article that deals with some of these questions. As members of the military, the military "brass" in charge of winning this war has to be careful in the wording of critical comments. Read the article and note the implicit criticism of Obama by the good general:

Reporting from Washington, Julian E. Barnes writes —

Recent setbacks in Afghanistan have intensified debate over the wisdom of the Obama administration's plan to begin withdrawing U.S. military forces next summer and highlighted reservations among military commanders over a rigid timeline.

At a Senate hearing Tuesday, Gen. David H. Petraeus, who oversees U.S. forces in the Mideast and Afghanistan, offered "qualified" support for President Obama's plan to begin withdrawing troops in July 2011.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
