President Obama, The UN And The US Role In The World
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2012-09-26/president-obama-un-and-us-role-world
The world's leaders are in New York this week. It's the opening of the UN General Assembly. Both U.S. friends and U.S foes are represented there, plus some in between: Egypt's new president, Mohammed Morsi, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Afghan President Hamid Karzai. President Barack Obama addressed the assembly yesterday, calling on leaders to continue the "painstaking work of reform" and defending American values. But Mitt Romney thinks the country needs a more forceful leader, one better able to protect our interests. Please join us for a conversation on President Obama at the U.N. and differing perspectives on America’s role in the world.

I let the personal attack pass this time, but not the falsehood. The surge was not "literally forced on Obama by the Military against his will" and I never said so. But when Obama agreed to the strategy he low-balled the troop deployment. Same mistake made in Iraq. Afghanistan called for an overwhelming force which is what McChrystal wanted and asked for. Obama's low-ball is what got troops killed - not the surge strategy.

Here's you're straw man argument "Reagan/Bush abomination in Afghanistan!!" Bringing up Clinton was just as appropriate for my response.
So you admit Obama is weak "forced" by those military bullies to do what he didn't want to do. I guess you see in Obama what you see in yourself, all you have are excuses why he and you are responsible for nothing. Your VICTIMS!
