"If Afghanistan is his “top priority” and “a war that we have to win,” wouldn’t Obama have carved out a little time in his schedule to meet with the man tasked with winning it more than once since appointing him in June? It may have forced him to skip a Wagyu beef dinner and perhaps a night on the town in New York City, but those are the sacrifices that a CinC has to make from time to time."

Obvious. Obummer is busy with more important things, like going on late-night talk shows....with sexist David Letterman...

Obama promised he’d lose us the war in Iraq, but I guess liberals will just have to settle on us losing in Afghanistan.

Yup.. heard the very same thing this morning on the FOX MORNING show...............ONCE, he has spoken to him ONCE. Shows you how much respect Old Barrack has for McCrystal.AND his country..........So let me get this straight...........1. He hasn't kept up with the ACORN scandal.....more important things to think about...........and 2. He wasn't interested in the Van Jones situation............more important things to deal with.........3. can't find the TIME to speak with McCrystal about our military issues in Afghanistan........hmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmm
hmmmmmmmmmm! But he is going to where???? to bid for the OLYMPICS to be held in CHICAGO. Will BLAGO be the "master of ceremonies???"
We must be one big joke in the WORLD COMMUNITY!

POP, POP, POP for mountainpalm

Yes nice comment Mountainpalm. This info does not bode well for the effort in Afghanistan which Obama criticized Bush for ignoring. During the campaign he said he would do everything possible to win. Flowery rhetoric to win votes and convince everyone he was centrist.

My, my, things just keep getting worse and worse for the prez..Wonderful comments Mountainpalm..You're rightm he's too busy with other things....He is too busy with other, more important issues...like ramming the healthcare bill down our throats...

Now...did he swear an oath?? "...provide for the common defense..."? I do credit *somebody* for the recent uncovering of terrorist cells right HERE...but I can't credit him. He is so busy with his "hope & change", his expeditions to where-ever that I am completely convinced that dealing with Afghanistan is a gnat on his agenda. Does he have a "war room" seeing as we are being surrounded by our avowed enemies??

Good comments, mountain.

Thanks guys..........
