Some observations re Obama’s speech Tuesday night:

It took three months for Obama to come up with this

Obama believes we can end a war successfully without winning

Obama failed to mention any intention of winning the war

"Surging retreat" is the two-word phrase that best describes his new war 'strategy'

All the Taliban and Al-Qaeda terrorists have to do is wait a couple of years until U.S. troops leave Afghanistan, and then they can march in and take over the country;

If Obama managed the war in Afghanistan with as much vigor as he did his presidential campaign, we would be be celebrating “Victory in Afghanistan Day"

The United States will likely spend more time prosecuting Navy SEALs for giving a murdering terrorist a bloody lip than it will executing battle plans in Afghanistan

Any military recruiter who reaches his goal during the next two years deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor

Even as we speak, the helicopter landing pad on the roof of the U.S. embassy in Kabul is being painted.

The L.A. Coliseum holds 92,000. 30,000 would be just one side of the Coliseum because the end zone and opposite would count as one side. That's not that many.
