To bad we did not focus on Afghanistan like we did on Iraq thing might have turned out differently.

As far as cheery picking is concerned. Take a good look in the mirror before you accuse anyone else of doing that.

It’s that kind of energy and attention to detail that makes them so likely to succeed. That doesn’t remove the fact that any negative result will be magnified.

This is clearly a great win and a morale boost. Taken from the time he was inaugurated it establishes a timeline for working effectiveness and those wishing us harm had better take note.

That result should empower those willing to help us fight terror within their own borders or their region of the world, so we should embolden allies in this.

The collateral effects may magnify, but positive results do the same, ten score. There will come other success stories, some perhaps inspired by this result.

This is still Bush’s war and after the initial phase it walked right into mission creep because we took our eyes off the ball and went into Iraq for one reason only, to finish some conventional military business and that is all. WMD’s my fanny.

We made a mess in Afghanistan because of Iraq and we owe the people of Afghanistan a working government now. Morally we cannot walk away and Obama is not saying that we should.

Our weapon systems are pretty good and if we needed to extract a wounded solider we do not need to drop a daisy cutter to get the job done. As long as the assets are in Theater and right now they are not. That is not Obama;s fault that is the Bush Administrations fault and still is. You cope as anyone who is on the ground or has family on the ground, as best you can. But is one life worth saving if it means taking other innocent lives? I would never want to be the decision maker.

I don’t know what the answer is in Afghanistan but we need to be very careful but we own the people of that country a working government..finally

The Pirate actions by Obama politcal motivation of do nothing when the entire country was watching would destroy Obama!

This thug now, political motivation based on potential leaking of information as always.

Thus to praise for saving your political ass is not scoring anything! It is though for the special forces and intel in finding and eliminating this guy!

I agree with you. Saving the lives of our military personnel has to be our number one priority. McCrystal has changed the rules of engagement. He said, “there will be plenty of opportunities to kill Taliban, and we’re pretty good at that. But the focus here, the reason we’re here, is the people, not the Taliban.”

McCrystal sounds like Jimmy Carter. By McCrystal forcing the military to break contact with the enemy with civilians involved, it gives the Taliban a propaganda tool that we won’t fight. This is crazy.

Armymom – Will say my prayers for our military and families. God Bless…..
