Dixie and all the other willfully ignorant neocon parrots screeched loudly against ANY criticism of how the Shrub, Cheney and Rumsfeld set up and handled our military in Afghanistan and Iraq. Stay the course, they squawked...all is well!
Well, now that Afghanistan is not working out well...suddenly it's Obama's fault because he's not following the EXACT same tactics that got things fucked up in the first place. In other words....he wants to know the who, what, where, how and why's before he signs off on more people dying and killing. So he listens to ALL the military on the ground, etc. Yep, the Commander in Chief is doing his job, so we won't have a repeat of the bullshit that went down in Iraq. Instead, he's trying to have a coherent plan BEFORE sending in more troops.
McChrystal tried to do an end run, and got snapped back into place. Someone should have clued him in that if Afghanistan does not have any type of decent gov't structure, then the US is nothing more than an occupying army of a foreign nation. So more troops isn't the ONLY solution.
But what's truly amazing is how these slavering arm chair warriors blame Obama for a guy going nuts on an army base. This war was started by the Shrub and company, and thanks to their criminal incompetence and negligence, you have a mess in Afghanistan and one simmering (again) in Iraq. Dixie says quicker deployment would save the day? Guess what numbnuts? Hasan was having problems LONG before Obama cooled McChrystal's heels...the system at Ft. Hood should have taken him out of service LONG time ago...but thanks to a shortage of qualified officers and personal across the board (gee, could that be because we don't have a draft to cover the missions properly? Guess Rummy's claims that volunteerism and back door draft of the National Guard has it covered were wrong), Hasan was kept on....and tragedy followed.
But neocon parrots just follow the lead of the official policy and the flailing neocon factions of the GOP party.....get Obama at any cost. And if that leads to blaming him for a rainy day, so be it.
