...but not colored folks. Nor poor folks...nor Democrats.. All right that's far enough. I can take Muslims and fags and dykes and newsletter writers, but I gotta draw the line somewhere. Enough is enough. (poor folk are ok too, but no freeloaders)

Yup, he's the Liar in Chief +++++ White House Announces Plan to Escalate Afghan War Ground Troops Will Engage in 'Occasional' Combat by Jason Ditz, June 10, 2016 Print This \| Share This In addition to a planned increase in airstrikes, reported yesterday, the White House today confirmed plans to loosen restrictions on ground troops, particularly the special forces in occupied Afghanistan, with an eye toward increasingly their direct combat role. Press secretary Josh Earnest says that the US troops will be “more proactive” in their operation, and while the US is still officially listing the troops engaged in the occupation as non-combat “advise and assist” troops, they will also engage in “occasional” combat operations alongside Afghan forces. While plans had at one point been to end the occupation by now, the US has put troop withdrawals “on hold” repeatedly as the Taliban gains more territory. With the Afghan military’s losses mounting, the new US commander, Lt. Gen. John Nicholson was keen to ramp operations back up. Despite that, Earnest insisted the US is not “restarting” the combat role, irrespective of the combat they’re planning to engage in, and are going to try to keep up with the pretense that the Afghan War, some 15 years in, is at least sort of over. ====== NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, May 28, 2014, 4:10 AM Spelling out a timetable for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan by 2016, President Obama on Tuesday declared: “Americans have learned that it’s harder to end wars than it is to begin them.” On his watch, this is certainly true. He came into the White House vowing to end U.S. entanglement in Iraq and to prosecute the war in Afghanistan so as help that country stand on its own, no more a spawning ground for Islamist terror. In both cases, Obama was a reluctant warrior searching for exits without a clear definition of victory. But as eager as the nation may be to move on from its longest war — one that’s claimed the lives of 2,322 service members — putting up a clock for leaving is an ominous sign about the President’s seriousness in honoring what he called the “extraordinary sacrifices” that U.S. forces have made. In brief, Obama plans to reduce forces from the current level of 32,000 to 9,800 by the end of this year, when the war officially ends. Service members left in-country would train Afghan troops and “support” counter-terror missions. A year later, half of that remaining contingent would withdraw, leaving fewer than 5,000 clustered in Kabul and on Bagram Airfield. A year after that, in 2016, Obama said, our military will “draw down to a normal embassy presence in Kabul, with a security assistance component, just as we’ve done in Iraq.”
