Obama and the Afghanistan Operation

Here is President Obama’s Afghan Speech:

Here are the mistakes:

1. The President Stated the following, “ ..I signed a historic agreement between the United States and Afghanistan that defines a new kind of relationship between our countries -- a future in which Afghans are responsible for the security of their nation, and we build an equal partnership between two sovereign states; a future in which war ends, and a new chapter begins. ”. As noted the old Soviet Union tried this, the puppet leader was killed this lead to the formation of the Taliban and 9/11.

2. The President Stated the following, “ ..over the last three years, the tide has turned. We broke the Taliban’s momentum. We’ve built strong Afghan security forces. We devastated al Qaeda’s leadership, taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders. And one year ago, from a base here in Afghanistan, our troops launched the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The goal that I set -- to defeat al Qaeda and deny it a chance to rebuild -- is now within our reach. ”. Once NATO is out of Afghanistan expect the Kabul Government to fall within months, the the US having to rescue those that have supported the NATO presence in Afghanistan, yes think last day in South Vietnam. Once NATO is out of Afghanistan expect Al Qaeda safe heavens to sprout up, 60/40 on that folks. Also expect pressure by the Taliban of Afghanistan to undermine the Pakistan Government, yes the Government with nuclear weapons folks. Also in basic political terms never allow the real opposition to know what you want, the Taliban and Al Qaeda will make the Oval pay for every day up to 2014.

3. The President Stated the following, “ ..Last year, we removed 10,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Another 23,000 will leave by the end of the summer. After that, reductions will continue at a steady pace, with more and more of our troops coming home. And as our coalition agreed, by the end of 2014 the Afghans will be fully responsible for the security of their country. ”. Folks your taking troops out at the height of the Summer fighting season, what kind of message does that send to the Taliban, yes the US is getting out, very much like the USSR. Thus its can use its bases in Pakistan to cause pain for the Oval and the Oval will not do a lot, that is why Obama does not have clue.

4. The President stated the following, “ ..we’re pursuing a negotiated peace. In coordination with the Afghan government, my administration has been in direct discussions with the Taliban. We’ve made it clear that they can be a part of this future if they break with al Qaeda, renounce violence and abide by Afghan laws. Many members of the Taliban -- from foot soldiers to leaders -- have indicated an interest in reconciliation. The path to peace is now set before them. Those who refuse to walk it will face strong Afghan security forces, backed by the United States and our allies. ”. The above statement shows that Obama is a foolish narcissist, he thinks his rhetoric is the truth, the Taliban don’t have to talk to Obama, he has shown he is weak by wanting to leave, they can wait Obama out, they could out wait the might USSR, and Obama is no USSR.

5. The President stated the following, “ .. As we move forward, some people will ask why we need a firm timeline. The answer is clear: Our goal is not to build a country in America’s image, or to eradicate every vestige of the Taliban. These objectives would require many more years, many more dollars, and most importantly, many more American lives. Our goal is to destroy al Qaeda, and we are on a path to do exactly that. Afghans want to assert their sovereignty and build a lasting peace. That requires a clear timeline to wind down the war. ”. Either President Obama is a fool, or he does not understand the Afghan Theatre, Al Qaeda has moved on, has he heard of Yemen etc. If your female and you want a life you should leave Afghanistan, by this statement Obama has shown that he does not care about the fate of women. This is the guy who threw his own grandmother under the bus to get the Presidential jockstrap.

Thus folks its is important in 2012 to defeat President Obama, he has sold out OUR Easter European Allies, he was slow on the Arab Spring, he didn’t support the people of Tehran when they marched for Democracy, he has stated to the Russians that he will be more flexible after his re-election, who else is he going to sell out. Also his White House released Israeli plans to strike Iran. Thus folks time to get active, get your neighbours to see what a disaster Obama has been, time to show the Chicago political mob that they can be defeated for their ideas.

End of the Afghan War ?

Lets Get Real:

Here is President Obama’s Afghan Speech from last night. It might be historic and bring the Afghan War to and end, or it could be a major political mistake. Afghanistan could very well turn out to be Obama’s Iraq.

As this noted last night in my tweets, the idea that a Western supporting Government can last in Afghanistan without NATO troops is wrong, the last Super Power to try that was the USSR, it didn’t work, the leader was arrested, tortured and hanged from the nearest lamp post. Also Al Qaeda is now a franchise operation, it has a very limited presence in Afghanistan. Thus on Strategy and Tactics the Oval does not have clue, this blog does not know enough about Afghanistan to have a solution, but it knows enough to know that the Oval does not have a clue.

Obama in Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that President Obama has made an unannounced visit to Afghanistan.

Lets Get Real:

Two words folks, this is POLITICAL and it might be a MISTAKE. If you add the recent political advert in which Obama took all the credit for killing OBL and this visit, it smells of cheap Chicago politics. Also the timing might be off, this kind of stunt and it is a stunt would be good a few days before the US Election, its still way off, people wont remember this stunt, or if they do recall it will be seen as a naked Chicago political move. Chicago politics at it worse folks, and worse it’s the wrong time.

Romney’s Swiss Bank Account - Obama Attack Advert

Lets Get Real:

Here is the latest class warfare attack on Governor Romney by the Obama Campaign. At least the Campaign has moved from its OBL gloating Advert, also its 30 seconds, these long adverts don’t work, people want the info within 15 to 30 seconds, if longer people just switch off. This is the 2nd hit job on Romney in a few days, the Romney Campaign cant allow the Chicago Re-Elect Committee to define Romney before he defines himself, that was the trick Clinton used in 1996 against his Republican Opponent.

Special Forces vs. POTUS

Guardian: Reports the reaction of US Special Forces to President Obama grapping all the glory from the death of OBL, the article states the following, “ ..are none to happy with the raid becoming a political football,.. ”.

Lets Get Real:

It is always risky for Democrats to try steal the national security clothes of the Republicans. Lets be honest, Democrats are seen as weak when it comes to National Security, thus this attempt by the Chicago Re -Election Committee to cover that base could get a major blow back. Although POTUS gave the green light there were a few people in between that helped in the process, the polices of the Bush 43 and water boarding, the CIA and the brave operation by the US Special Forces. The Bill Clinton advert should have been used later in the Campaign, its of no use later on NOW, they fired their cannon, and it seems to be missing its target.

A Gloating President and the Death of OBL

Telegraph: Reports on the latest Republican reaction to President Obama using the death of OBL in a political advert, the article states the following, “ ..Unseemly Democratic gloating has prompted holier-than-thou outrage from Republicans. ”.

Lets Get Real:

The Oval has to careful, it cant allow the impression to grow that POTUS sees himself as the HERO of the operation and not the Special Forces that took out OBL. Also Obama has to be careful of his left wing Democratic base, they might be quite about this debate, but one can be sure they would not have ordered the attack and would have preferred that OBL had been arrested. The Chicago Re - Elect Committee would be well advice to drop the issue till the later in the Campaign, if they blow this NOW, they cant use it later on. Also the Republicans have a few heavy weights when it comes to National Security, Obama in a head to head with someone like Dick Cheney would lose badly. Thus advice to Chicago, move on and use later on.

Obama vs. Romney - Polls

RCP: Reports on its Average of the match up polls when it comes to Obama vs. Romney. Today’s Average has Obama leading Romney by 47.3% to 44.2%, thus a lead of 3.1%.

Lets Get Real:

Its just the start folks, and there will be thousands of polls, endless, but with the Obama Re-Elect Campaign starting this week will formal Campaign events here is the latest from RCP. In pure political terms one has to say that the Obama Oval got off to a great start, its advert with Bill Clinton singing the praises of Obama asked a important question, would OBL still be alive if Romney was in the Oval. It is a change to see Democrats using National Security. Lets recall Bush 41 won the First Gulf War and he still lost to Bill Clinton. Also Bush 43 had a close shave in 2004, but just won re-election by winning Ohio. At the end of the day folks its down to the economy, lets see what this months record brings, that will be a good indicator for the Obama fortunes in the coming months.
