There are red flags up all over this Obama "deployment" of United States Soldiers and Soldiers of other nations into his Afnamistan.
The first of which is Obama at West Point almost chanted "as your commander in chief" at the cadets. That reveals immense weakness in Obama if he has to be Manchurian candidating American Soldiers, like pleading, "I am your wife you must love me!"
The cadets as this blog noted were an unhappy lot. The intelligent ones were studying Obama and judging him. Most though had the look in their eyes of misted regrets in knowing Bowbama had decided their lives by dumping them into his Afnamistan.
The above cadet reading a book was the ultimate slap coupled with the bored cadet. Obama's captive audience had committed the Great Escape while he lectured at them from the podium.
The worst of this Obama deployment is as this blog exclusively noted, is this is giving every sign to be a stage act which is murdering US Soldiers just so Obama can "win the day" in the 2010 Pelosi elections and win the war in 2011 for his re election.
Murdering Soldiers for political dynasty is disgusting and criminal.
A further affirmation of this Obama politics of using a crisis war he created was observed in the Joint Chief appearing on Charlie Rose, and nowhere did this military leader speak of fighting a war. His entire change was "stability" to Afghanistan.
That is Freudian in every measure, because Mike Mullen knows very well there is nothing in Afghanistan which can not be squashed with minimum force. The JC is by psychological slip speaking the facts that there is nothing there for a over one hundred thousand troops to do, but die in terror attacks.
All that needs to be done as the JC noted was to bribe the Taliban and kill off some al Qaeda which the JC really screwed up on in giving Bush credit in noting they have been diminished.
Mr. Obama in his sadistic Chicago slick willy attacks on President Bush's leadership which was perfectly successful in the two wars, will not appreciate the JC slipping up and telling the world there is nothing to fight in Afghanistan as Bush wiped out al Qaeda in mass.
Mr. Obama though has more of a problem as Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld today called Obama the liar he is in Obama lying to the cadets and the American people, that no troop requests were granted in Afghanistan.
Mr. Rumsfeld would know the war as he designed it to be fought on Caspar Weinberger deliberate terms with Dick Cheney, meaning, Donald Rumsfeld limited troops in harms way to reduce casualties as there was not a need to deploy mass troops in Afghanistan.
The commanders knew this and the world knew this, and yet Obama lied to the world at West Point and made it sound like the Bush Administration was not fighting nor maintaining Afghanistan.
This blog will repeat, American Special Forces in small groups with local Afghan support conquered Afghanistan in weeks. Americans maintained that victory and handed it over to the British whose officers bungled it much like they did in South Iraq.
There are no finer combat Soldiers than the British, but their officers have not been up to par for 100 years. That is why Sir Arthur Conan Doyle started the National Rifle Association in Britain to teach British subjects how to shoot like the Boers in South Africa were masters of the rifle.
The British have in their empire history turned out fantastic leaders in Henry V, Henry VIII, Sir Francis Drake, Gen. Wolfe and Gen. Montgomery, but they have also churned out complete twits who get masses of their combat Soldiers dead.
In Afghanistan, the combat infantry refused to call in the RAF for bombing runs as the RAF kept bombing British Soldiers. The infantry would only call on the American Air Force.
The same defeatest British officers created a problem in Afghanistan, which was taken over by the Americans again before President Bush left office and the situation was stabilized.
If one checks the Obama press reports attacking Bush 43 from that time, one will note that the "massive" al Qaeda spring fighting push had like 2000 terrorists at most.
The American military handled it and Obama has been wagging this dog as a way to get elected and a way to get re elected, all the while costing American lives as he emboldens, makes pacts and nurtures terrorists.
So Mr. Obama has been outed as a bore at West Point as cadets brought reading material apparently to help Mr. Obama keep his boast he could get bin Laden, been outed as a liar by Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and has been outed as a political ghoul in using dead American Heroes he is causing to be slain in his orders of "American Soldiers can not raise their weapons unless terrorists raise their weapons first", in order to keep the White House in 2012.
If this was Rahm Emmanuel's defining moment for Obama as he announced this was Obama being a leader, Mr. Obama has been defined as lacking.
