Obama Running for the Exits in Afghanistan

Again, a truly depraved man.

At the Washington Post, "In Afghanistan, U.S. losing patience as deadline for long-term deal nears":

When Obama called Afghanistan a "war of necessity" the US had to win, did you think he was serious? http://t.co/Qz4VjuY4ec

During a testy video conference in June, President Obama drew a line in the sand for Afghan President Hamid Karzai. If there was no agreement by Oct. 31 on the terms for keeping a residual U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, Obama warned him, the United States would withdraw all of its troops at the end of 2014.

With that deadline less than three weeks away and deep rifts persisting, the White House appears increasingly willing to abandon plans for a long-term, costly partnership with Afghanistan. Despite the Pentagon’s pleas for patience, much of the rest of the administration is fed up with Karzai and sees Afghanistan as a fading priority amid far more ominous threats elsewhere in the world.

Right. A "fading priority." This was the "good war" that Obama campaigned for in 2007, as the most antiwar presidential candidate in the Democrat-Treason Party.

But RTWT.

A terrible president. Worst. President. Ever.
