A-stan drawdown worries at White House

While our troops in Afghanistan worry about making it through the day, the White House worries about how quickly they can withdraw the troops from Afghanistan according to the Washington Post‘s Rajiv Chandrasekaran;

At a meeting of his war cabinet this month, Obama expressed displeasure with such characterizations of the withdrawal [as “small to insignificant”] , according to three senior officials with direct knowledge of the session. “The president made it clear that he wants a meaningful drawdown to start in July,” said one of the officials, who, like the others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal discussions.

So our goal in Afghanistan is withdrawal above such insignificant goals like the destruction of the Taliban and building security forces for the Afghan government, ya know, little shit like that. I hope Bite Me and Obama are willing to tell the troops face-to-face that their main mission in life is to di-di-mau, to borrow a phrase from the Vietnam era.

“Our hope is that we’ll be able to get away with no combat troops getting pulled out this summer,” one of the officers said. “But we recognize that may not be possible.”

Yeah, cuz who needs combat troops in a war? Better we should cut combat troops rather than some State Department Public Affairs pogues who spend their time reading blogs and defending the ambassador, that dick Karl Eikenberry. Right?

So all along, from that long campaign season when Obama told us that Afghanistan was the real fight and Iraq was a distraction to the reinforcement of our forces in Afghanistan, Obama has been lying to the troops.

How about we ask the troops who wants to be the last to die for a lie, to quote the Democrat candidate of the 2004 presidential election?
