Obama To The Taliban: No More Fighting After 2013…

Pack them up and bring them home, no American should die on the battlefield if we’re not there to win.

Via Politico:

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday that the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan will end in 2013 while troops will remain in the country in a support role through 2014, The Associated Press reports.

“Hopefully by the mid to latter part of 2013, we’ll be able to make a transition from a combat role to a training, advise and assist role,” Panetta said, according to the AP, adding that this wouldn’t mean that “we’re not going to be combat-ready.”

He noted that no decision has been made about how many American troops would stay in Afghanistan in the post-combat stage, but did suggest that large reductions will occur in the months following the switch, the wire said.

Panetta made the remarks to reporters aboard a military aircraft en route to Brussels, where the issue of accelerated withdrawal from Afghanistan is expected to be on the agenda at a NATO meeting.

    We sould have pulled them back the instant Obama said that we were going home by 2014. With that single statement he rendered the war unwinnable, because it told the population they couldn’t rely on us, and it told the Taliban all they had to do was hang on for another couple of years.

    Sweet deal. No more traffic stops 2013. Hopefully I’ll be able to make a transition from a citizen that gets pulled over to an incident free me.

    Our very own Kenyan born surrender monkey speaks.

    We should pull all our troops out now, not later.
    Why should anyone get killed or injured with a CiC like Obama?

    To my crazy way of thinking, these ROE’s are just a newly twisted way of enumerating the Roe v. Wade decision.

    As far as them being drawn back to American Soil? We may need them sooner rather than later.

    Obama Plan!

    1) Bring the military home it will be used to protect the government from the citizens when Obama signs in marshal law!
    2) Let all Al Qaeda prisoners free then he can close Gitmo for better political scoring with the far left.

    Gen. Boykin is on Beck again tonight along with Frank Gaffney and Eric Stakelbeck. Film footage of the REAL Arab Springs the complicit media doesn’t show you. They beat a couple women to death on the street, using nightsticks and kicking their heads and stomping on their chests.

    Outstanding discussion on the treason so many high officials are commiting. The Muz Bro-hood is not only in the Pentagon, the WH, but is DEEPLY embedded in the media. The ultimate goal for the US is Sharia as it is in the rest of the world. The Middle East “leaders” now openly talk about the glorious caliphate soon-to-be restored.

    Remember, Nidal Hassan was a workplace-violence accident.

    GTFO Now!

    There is no reason to be there. Karzai know he is toast the second we leave. He will try and keep us there as long as possible.

    Bitterclinger thanks for the update on Beck. I think he needs his meds adjusted. His rampage against Newt is just bizarre. I have almost quit watching, but will check it out being I like Gaffney and Eric. Truly disappointed when Boykin caved to CAIR at West Point.

  16. Dapandico says:

    @Axel – Believe that West Point caved.

    Why be there at all if you’re… it’s already been said. Just get the troops home.

    Breaking news.

    President Obama declared today that he will definitely pull his head out of his ass by 2014. He said this is just another reason to elect him.

    “I’m the fourth greatest president now. Think how much better I’ll be after my latest strategic pull out,” the president said. “I’ll be the greatest of all time… the greatest that could ever be.”

    Chris Matthews was not available for comment, but he was noted to be licking the president’s hand in apparent ecstasy.

    Fucking politicians learn nothing from history.. Vietnam pullout all over again.. pray for the Afghani’s that were our friends…they are toast.

    Too bad Panetta didn’t fall off the ramp to that aircraft,,,while it was at 30,000 feet. He and hussein are trying to sign a death warrant for troops left in Afghan-land – so if they are attacked they can’t fight? Their safety depends upon other Afghans who KNOW they have been abandoned by us?

    Dear GOD, make it stop. We have simply got to defeat obama and this full-fledged assault on us by the socialists (I am going to stop calling them progressives) and muzzies in our country.

    The one thing liberals can accomplish with success is make a military operation senseless. All the spent treasure, all the dead and wounded and all for what?
