Woodward's View inside the Obama White House

With his new book, Bob Woodward is removing the veil that covers much of what transpires in the White House with regard to the war in Afghanistan. We learn direct from White House sources that President Obama is not interested in victory in Afghanistan; he only wants and exit strategy. I listened during the campaign when Obama told us how the war in Afghanistan was a war of necessity, a war that had to be won by the USA. He did not say this once; he repeated it often enough that it seemed to be his mantra. Obama castigated Bush for not giving enough attention to winning in Afghanistan.

Obama's oratorical push for victory in Afghanistan was not a new position for the democrats. John Kerry said the same thing in 2004. Obama, however, elevated the rhetoric in support of the war by an order of magnitude, however.

Now we find out from the President and those around him that his whole campaign was a lie. He does not care about victory. Oh sure, leaving with victory is better than leaving in defeat, but the operative goal is LEAVING, EXITING, GETTING OUT and sooner rather than later. In other words, Obama's campaign speeches were so much BS, just hokum that Obama was feeding to the rubes who care about the honor and dignity of the USA to keep its commitments. It was just something to say to placate those who want to defeat Al Qaeda and the Taliban who are responsible for the 9-11 attacks.

This is bad enough, but Obama's view of the threat from terrorists is even worse. According to Woodward, Obama's view is that the USA can endure another attack from terrorists without too much of a problem. After all, we endured 9-11 and we only got stronger.

The truly outrageous nature of this assessment of the terrorist threat is that it comes from the man who is tasked with preventing just such an attack. If the man in charge does not think that it is a big deal if we get hit again, you can be sure that the attack will come. Thousands may die, but Obama apparently does not care. After all, we will endure and get stronger. Someone needs to slap this fool upside his head and tell him to wake up.

George Bush was far from a perfect president, a fact that essentially no one would argue with. With Bush in office, however, each American knew that our leader was working 24/7 to prevent another attack from hitting this country. Bush was tireless in his efforts to keep us safe. Now we know that Obama, Bush's successor doesn't really care about this.

I thought that I had gotten to the point where there was little that Obama could do that would upset me. I knew his game plan; I kknew his predilections; I would not like his actions, but the were the expected. This latest revelation, however, is in a league by itself. I am furious that the president is resigned to us getting hit by another terror attack.

Obama has got to go!
