From BlackFive, a message to our President, who keeps saying he'll "end the war in Iraq."
"My biggest fear about a President Obama was that he has a totally
flawed view of what to do about our two ongoing wars. He was
spectacularly clueless about what to do in Iraq and had we followed his
bad advice we would have lost there. His continual demand that we 'end'
that war is symptomatic of his misunderstanding of the gravity of
having US troops on a battlefield."
"It is just this simple Mr. Wannabe Commander in Chief, and I say wannabe because while you hold the title you haven't earned it or the trust of the troops yet...."
"You can't end a war, you either win it or lose it."
"It is just this simple Mr. Wannabe Commander in Chief, and I say wannabe because while you hold the title you haven't earned it or the trust of the troops yet...."
"You can't end a war, you either win it or lose it."
Read (or watch) the whole thing.
It is not the obligation of the United States of America to become the world's policeman. The "wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan are wars that must be fought by the people of those countries. If they don not care to participate in a fight for their own freedom then end the war for our US soldiers.
Saying things like you post is nonsense. Nice little sound bite, but superficial and totally meaningless. Pretty close to painted on courage. More appropriate for bumper stickers.

Richard, I don't think it's "painted on courage" at all. The person who said this is a former paratrooper and Army officer.
