Obama on Afghanistan Losses

Here is the following statement by President Obama on recent US losses in Afghanistan, “ My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the Americans who were lost earlier today in Afghanistan. Their deaths are a reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by the men and women of our military and their families, including all who have served in Afghanistan. We will draw inspiration from their lives, and continue the work of securing our country and standing up for the values that they embodied. We also mourn the Afghans who died alongside our troops in pursuit of a more peaceful and hopeful future for their country. At this difficult hour, all Americans are united in support of our men and women in uniform who serve so that we can live in freedom and security. ”. Its nice line folks but then one has to ask why is Obama removing troops next year at the time of the most intense fighting. Its not a military strategy, its political, the Oval is more interested in winning in 2012 than the security of US troops on the ground, the more the US withdraws the more the Taliban can take over and inflict more death and destruction on Afghanistan. Someone has to tell Obama there is a difference between rhetoric and reality, in Afghanistan Obaam’s rhetoric can get you killed.
