Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

What is it with this guy?
So the top military guy in Afghanistan is asking for more troops and obama is ignoring him? The general should resign. All those libs who were accusing Bush of causing the deaths of our boys can now say that about their guy.......but they wont.
If the military leader on the ground says he needs more troops then he should either get them or we leave immediately. Havent we learned anything?
Obama is NOT A LEADER.

Obama And McChrystal Have Spoken One Time Since McChrystal Took Command In Afghanistan


Quote:
Gen. Stanley McChrystal says he's talked to President Obama only once since taking command of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan over the summer, a revelation that drew swift criticism from some who are concerned that the president is putting off McChrystal's request for more troops. "It's startling," Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., told FOX News.
McChrystal talked about his interaction with the president in an interview with CBS News.
"I've talked to the president since I've been here once on a (video teleconference)," he said.
"You talked to him once in 70 days?" CBS' David Martin asked.
"That's correct," McChrystal said.
...Gregg said that former President George W. Bush spoke with his then-top Iraq commander, Gen. David Petraeus, on a regular basis. He said that while Obama may be speaking regularly with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Petraeus, who is now head of Central Command, the president should still keep in regular contact with McChrystal.
"I would think you'd want to hear one-on-one from your field commander more than once in six months," he said.

i must admit.. i have read articles about Obama wanting to send more troops there. however the rest of the Dems are VERY against it. i'd imagine he'll follow what Pelosi tells him and not support an Afghanistan Surge.

We loose Afghanastan the DEmoCRAPS can forget about keeping the HOUSE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS. Why am I saying this for one reason the ONLY PARTY that the People of the US can and will blame for any future attacks if we are attacked will be the Democraps they were the ones that pulled us out of Afghanstan because Obama refused to be a LEADER do the Right things.

Hold on there buckaroo......the LEFT that elected that commie don't care if America ever wins another war, in fact they wish us all to die at the hands of our enemies with you and me (and folks like us) dying first. So those Statists in Washington could care less as long as they stay in power.
But what they can't seem to get their heads wrapped around is, while they are singing Kumbya and getting their heads removed from their bodies, we will still be fighting....in the streets if we have to.

As the Statist is building a culture of conformity and dependency, where the ideal citizen takes on drone-like qualities in service to the state, the individual must be drained of uniqueness and self-worth and deterred from independent thought or behavior. This is acheived through varying methods of economic punishment and political suppression.

It is just sickening that your top commander in Afghanistan flat out says I need more troops and the President sits on that request and "looks over" our role in Afghanistan. It's simple Obama, either we win it, or we might as well welcome the terrorists into our back yards, schools, malls.... why is it so hard for this fool to understand??
