President Obama: “I’m done doing this!”
By Move America Forward Thursday, September 23, 2010
President Obama’s true feelings about supporting the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are revealed in journalist Bob Woodward’s newest book, “Obama’s Wars.” In it, Woodward details that when crafting America’s strategy for a troop surge in Afghanistan, President Obama was concerned with pleasing his left-wing supporters, not achieving victory.
Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee, who lost her son Marc in the war in Iraq, spokesperson for Move America Forward, the nation’s largest grassroots pro-troop organization released this statement:
“We at Move America Forward were saddened and dismayed to hear the extent of President Obama’s willingness to use American lives as political pawns. We have watched as troops deployed overseas struggled to achieve their mission with limited manpower and resources. As reported by the New York Times today, when the President was told he must strengthen American forces by 30,000 in Afghanistan he finally relented. But when asked for an additional 4,500 support personnel, the response was sharp and angry, “I’m done doing this!”
“President Obama, it is WE the American people who are done. We are done with your lack of support for our brave servicemen and women who risk their lives abroad. We are done with your politicizing of the troops and their mission. Most of all, we are done with your lack of leadership that emboldens our enemies and sacrifices American lives needlessly.
“As Commander in Chief, our soldiers deserve better. We at Move America Forward are outraged at the appalling lack of support, phony, arbitrary timelines, and failure to enable American troops to achieve the success they are fully capable of. As representatives of many thousands of soldiers, we ask President Obama to heed the wisdom of military commanders, and commit to a winning strategy in the field of battle that puts the success & support of our military ahead of your own political career.”

He's done supporting the troops AND done talking about it, so he's grabbing his toys and heading home, lest we further offend another country by defending ourselves........
No leader (I use that term loosely in this case) that intends to win a war, announces a withdrawal date......... just tells the enemy to hold tight and don't cause trouble, cuz they are leaving -- let 'em go and we'll get back to terrorism as usual.......

I am kind of amazed at how two people can read the same thing and walk away with two different opinions of what it says. You hear what ya want to hear....
"I'm done doing this!" Ok, I give. What does that even mean. Is he done not supporting the troops, or is he done talking about it? Perhaps he wants to say..."fine! I am grabbing all of my toys and I am heading home!"
Hmm. And they wonder why he's not exactly popular among the troops.
Thank you for putting this up ,I have heard a few pieces from this book .We the People are truly done with him..
