Tidal Waive – A Cartoon

[ I offer apologies right up front to anyone offended by the language in this but I too want to yell out like the DI! I’m disgusted with and offended by those politicians who send us to die with no concrete strategy, with no will to win, who use us for their personal political gain. – JS ]

from hopenchangecartoons:

Today's cartoon isn't subtle...but neither is war. You fight or run. You win or lose. You tell the truth or you lie like a rug.

Which brings us to Barack Hussein Obama, the commander-in-chief of the United States military...God help us all. After recently overruling his top Whitehouse lawyers on the definition of "war" and "hostilities" in Libya (and giving the finger to Congress), Mr. Obama is now overruling his top generals and withdrawing troops from Afghanistan not when it's militarily wise, but when it will do the most good for his reelection campaign. And it was important to announce the actual withdrawal dates right now to give our enemies time to plan for their big victory parties.

The president and his trusty teleprompter explained all of this to the American people in flowery language that would have seemed more appropriate coming from a Poet Laureate than a president. A drunken Poet Laureate.

"The tide of war is receding," quoth surfing aficionado Obama, indicating that he thinks military success is based largely on the gravitational pull of the moon.

"Even as there will be dark days ahead in Afghanistan, the light of a secure peace can be seen in the distance," he continued over a background of soothing new-age harp music. And Obama loves using those light/dark, future/past rhetorical devices when he speaks, because they sound great but when you put them together they mean absolutely nothing; things will be bad and things will be good? Wow, thanks for the insights, genius.

And just where is Obama getting the military advice to take this action and likely lose a war? Not from General David Petraeus, but from his reelection campaign planners and Joe Biden, who hasn't been correct on a single foreign policy matter in his entire inexplicable career.

Finally, Barack Obama is basically giving Afghanistan to the Taliban because, in his words, "it is time to focus on nation-building at home."

Funny, we thought that a pretty good nation had already been built here... but it's obvious that this despicable little political worm of a man is intent on building something else.
