Freakin' brilliant. Best advice anyone so far has given Obama. He should take it to heart.

They didn't credit that picture but that is an incredibly powerful picture of our boys. They look so magnificently decked out with all their 60 lbs. of gear that one homemade explosive can put an end to. This change in direction and ROE just sucks. One kid on 60 Minutes said so tonight. Time for the namby-pamby-voting-present-do-nothing to step up and show the world he actually has the cajones to make decisions that aren't influenced by some obscure gang of six who thinks they can influence world politics. Step up. Be a man! Show some bravery. Protect US. Do the job you were elected to do. Stop trying to appease the rest of the world. You CANNOT be king of the world. Others have tried and failed miserably.

"5. Quit wasting time on NATO. NATO is a political organization and the member nations, save a few, will never produce the force necessary commensurate with either our desires or their responsibilities. They are largely irrelevant on the ground in Afghanistan as well. The German military, for example, is minimally useful in the northern provinces. Put enough effort into this to keep what they’ve got there, but nothing more." This one is hilarious. All through the campaign the mantra was to cooperate with our allies as if if we asked them nice they would send soldiers to die in Afghanistan. The entire rhetoric was false propaganda from the start - as was the entire Obama campaign. Any analytically thinking person knew this was phoney baloney - and the lap dog media simply ate it up. All the thematic lies of the Obama campaign are coming home to roost.
