Obama’s Strategy for Defeat in Afghanistan

Floyd Brown,Expose Obama

This horrible war is destined to end badly

This horrible war is destined to end badly

Last night before an audience of Cadets at West Point,the Commander in Chief,Barack Obama,displayed his gross ignorance of strategic affairs and inexperience with military affairs. In a speech in which Americans were eager to hear a plan for victory,Obama instead laid the seeds of defeat without honor.

His lack of insight was on display for the world to see. He was there to announce his new strategy developed over his last three months of dithering and indecision on the future of Afghanistan.

Clearly this is the biggest decision of his term so far. He had to choose between the recommendation of his commanding General on the ground,Stanley McChrystal,or options developed by the feckless doves who control the White House. He chose the latter. In so doing,he ended hope of American success and doomed thousands of young soldiers to death far from home in a quagmire he has exacerbated.

Obama,obsessed with pleasing and looking good to liberals,is desperate for an “end game.”He wants to “get in there quickly”and transfer responsibility for security to the Afghan military as rapidly as possible. Obama aims to begin winding down troop numbers as early as July 2011,regardless of military realities.

The heart of the decision is to send two brigades,one from the Marines and one from the Army,plus reserves,amounting to 30,000 soldiers. They are to be deployed to Afghanistan over the next six months,bringing the number of American troops in Afghanistan to 100,000. They are to be stationed in the south and east,where US forces are under pressure and needing reinforcements.

But the real kicker,which will doom his new strategy,was the announcement of an unrealistic timetable for withdrawal of 12 to 18 months. Announcing to Al-Qaida and the Taliban his exit strategy,he has given away all the information our enemies need to counter his moves.  By telegraphing his moves to the enemy,he just committed one of the biggest  strategic blunders possible.

So his errors are compounded and will America bumble to a withdrawal before victory because the extra 30,000 troops will not be enough to counter an increasingly confident Taliban. Plus,the timetable for training the Afghan army and police is unrealistic.  Finally,it is likely that the troops sent will be sitting ducks because of his wrongheaded change to the rules of engagement earlier in the year.

Overnight polling shows Americans are uneasy with his policy with only 35% supporting his Afghanistan policy. I am not surprised. He has now completed a trifecta of bad decision in Afghanistan.

    HAVING SERVED AS A COMBAT OFFICER I WW2,MY OPINION IS WE HAVE AN INCOMPETANT FOOL FOR A PRESIDENT. HE IS NOT ONLY INCOMPETANT,BUT BY PHILOSOPHY HE HATES THE GREATNESS OF OUR U.S.A. . HE BELIEVES THAT CONTROLLED GOVT. CAN PRODUCE
    JOBS,CREATE WEALTH TO REDISTRIBUTE,AND IF THEY CANNOT MAKE
    IT THEY CAN REDISTRIBUTE IT. HE HAS EMBARRASED OUR U.S.A.
    AROUND THE WORLD,I FOUGHT IN BOTH THE EUROPEAN AND SOUTH
    PACIFIC AND WAS PROUD TO DO IT. UNDER OBAMA,I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE A SOLDIER. TO PROMISE US DEFEAT AND INCREASE DEATHS OF OUR YOUNG MEN IN HIS KIND OF WAR ,BREAKS MY HEART.

  • SidneyH Kosann you said you were in service did you all take a oath to defend our Constitution and if this is true will the military keep obama from destroying our Constitution Please let me know because obama is doing him best to do just that and I am very concerned

  • Paul

    His display last night was so typical…the people of this country have elected an empty,corrupt suit and a coward. He needs to be removed before he bankrupts this country and we cannot afford to defend ourselves.
    What an embarrssment.to our country.

    Everything Obama does helps the Muslims! He knows exactly what he is doing,we all know what he is doing,he can't even hide his hatred for our country anymore.

  • thomas

    obama is our Bumbler-in Chief.

  • Swamprat

    Sadie,good for you. The boy needs to be impeached ASAP before he digs our country deeper into the hole he's already dug for us. I hope those who voted for "that one"are happy about his lousy performance. He's an embarrassment to our country.

  • Phyllis

    Forgive me for being so blunt,but,all of you need to do more than post complaints. You need to get active,,call,email,write your congressmen,join protest groups,speak out,write letters to the editors of newspapers,demand they start telling the truth,join the "Birther"movement. Anything &everything you can do will help. make your voices heard. If we can get the Lame Stream Media to start talking about his ineligibility….you get the picture.If only you could see all the documents we have collected that prove he isn'r even an American citizen,you would be screaming from the mountain tops. If more folks don't get involved,we are in serious trouble.

  • Boe

    I can tell you Phyllis all the people above are most likely doing every thing you suggested. I know I am. The democrats are totally ignoring us,because they have an agenda to take over this country. Unfortunately I don`t think they can even imagine what Obama has planned for us. It goes way beyond just control. He will create an emergency type of event and will postpone the elections to remove the dems. That is why they are not worried. But beween Obama and George Soros …well GOD HELP US>
