Afghanistan Follow-up: All the White House Generals

The top military leader in Afghanistan Gen. McChrystal, WHO OBAMA APPOINTED IN MARCH 2009, thinks there is some urgency and in August he recommended 40,000 more troops. The area commander Gen Petraeus, who engineered the turnaround in Iraq (which Obama opposed as a Senator and then denied as a candidate) seems to support Gen McChrystal's request. All of Obama's statements from 2007 through August 2009 state that Afghanistan is the "war of necessity" to clearly defeat Al Qaeda and the Taliban. But now, General Hilary Clinton, General Joe Biden ,General John Kerry,General Nancy Pelosi, General Harry Reid and all of the make-believe Generals in the Cabinet and crowd of advisors surrounding Obama are warning that Afghanistan can jeopardize Obama's domestic socialist agenda, so maybe the U.S. should get out of Afghanistan. After all, what Democrat in good standing would want to trade-off all of the pork billions being spent merely for national security and defeating an enemy sworn to kill more Americans? When that happens, the Democrats can always blame it on Bush-Cheney. Meanwhile, American troops are in harms way in Afghanistan, more civilians are being killed and the United States is on a path to be defeated.
