    How many troops

    How success in their mission will be measured
    Or any other specifics related to their deployment

    Just exactly like every other of his endeavors as President, he is totally uninterested and oblivious of the details. He'll know when he sees it on TV.

    is a zillion ways different then being handed a war (Afghan) you have no choice to deal with.

    You have no choice to play the war out in some fashion if you are handed a hot war.
    That is diametrically opposed to starting a fresh war!!!


    Am I speaking english? I can't make it much clearer ...
    Oh, so you also include what happened with Obama and Iraq in that assessment too, right?

    In spite of your past willingness to be critical of him.

    we are now letting the military target terrorists networks as well.
    The more autonomy -the better US forces perform

    I have always said the SOFA was a hard date and if we stayed al-Maliki would have been under pressure
    from al Sadr to prosecute "US war crimes".

    Not that Obama wanted to stay or try to negotiate an extension - but yes he had to pull out

    You're really in full-generalization mode now.

    The people at Abu Ghraib had complete autonomy.

    Because General Obama was so smart in providing those details to the enemy?

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    here is what I heard:

    http://time.com/4910284/donald-trump...policy-speech/
    in a prime-time address to unveil his new Afghanistan strategy,
    Trump said the U.S. would shift away from a "time-based" approach, instead linking its assistance to results and to cooperation from the beleaguered Afghan government, Pakistan and others.
    He insisted it would be a "regional" strategy that addressed the role played by other South Asian nations — especially Pakistan and its tolerance of the Taliban.

    "America will work with the Afghan government as long as we see determination and progress," Trump said. "However, our commitment is not unlimited, and our support is not a blank check."

    The female general was stupid to put a female guard in that position. Her presence was the trigger and motivation for the awful behavior. But in no way, did they have complete autonomy. They acted illegally.

    Blew a hole in your autonomy bullshit and that's the best you have?

    When it comes to Orangetweet, you can take it to the bank that "autonomy" = "obliviousness". Get ready for another lost aircraft carrier.

    Funny little lemmingtard. Unlike the Orange Clown, Obama remained informed rather than willfully ignorant.
