Krauthammer to Obama: Disgusting and Disgraceful

By Jim Vicevich / October 28, 2009 /

The subject is Afghanistan … but not the young President’s strategy. Krauthammer makes it very clear in his comments the President has every right to change his strategy … even pick a strategy. No, what Krauthammer calls childlike is Obama’s penchant for blaming everyone for his failures. To paraphrase Allahpundit at HotAir … hey, you…

Obama Channels George W Bush

By Jim Vicevich / April 3, 2009 /

Oh the left will not like this speech. It’s Obama at this morning’s town hall meeting in Strasbourg, France (I know, sounds silly, but true). Standing before the youth of France and Germany, Obama tried to make the case for the “surge” in Afghanistan. Hey, come on, it’s a surge.

Karzai: US helping Taliban to stage attacks to justify American & international presence

By Steve McGough / March 13, 2013 /

Well isn’t this just grand. I picked up on this little tidbit while reading an AP story on the helicopter crash that killed five US servicemen on Monday night. With Afghan President Harmid Karzai – our supposed partner – saying this kind of stuff, can we just go home now?

Unacceptable: Five troops “responsible” for Quran burnings may suffer reduction in rank

By Steve McGough / March 3, 2012 /

No friggin’ way. Volunteer to defend the United States of America – putting your life on the line in Afghanistan while your family stresses out for years – and you could be subject to a reprimand and reduction in rank for inadvertently throwing out the wrong garbage?

Obama jumps the gun again by sending apology/regret letter to Karzai

By Steve McGough / March 1, 2012 /

Let’s the letter President Obama sent to the president of Afghanistan concerning the alleged Quran burning. Why can’t we see it? Why do we have the Afghan government publicly claiming NATO officials agreed “perpetrators will be brought to justice” while the Pentagon and White House remain silent on the issue?

Wikileaks to the US Military: Hey! We need your help to rat on your friends

By Jim Vicevich / July 28, 2010 /

What more needs to be said. The Editor in Chief of the Wikileaks, the internet site that obtained and then published more than 90,000 top secret US military documents on the Afghan war, tells Andrea Mitchell, he needs help deciphering all the stuff he’s collected. Attention. On your feet. The left needs your help.

Seventeen Afghani military officers disappear from Air Force base in Texas

By Steve McGough / June 18, 2010 /

Although the story is quite interesting, this could just be 17 guys who realized the United States was a nice place to settle down, or on the flip side it could be a more nefarious plot. That said, I know the first place we should look for them.

Tying the hands of Marines in Afghanistan

By Steve McGough / February 16, 2010 /

I’m not a counter-insurgency expert. I’m not current or former military. I have little experience managing the beloved Elm Street snowball fights between the north and south side of the street. But you’ve got to ask, why do Marines have to monitor a house for 72 hours to ensure civilians are not around before an…

Obama’s approval numbers drop 7 points in 30 days

By Steve McGough / December 4, 2009 / Comments Off on Obama’s approval numbers drop 7 points in 30 days

I’m not one to point out polls on a regular basis, primarily because the results can be so different depending on the questions asked and the way the questions are asked. But anyway … A CNN poll has President Obama’s approval at 48 percent, 7 points less than it was just one month ago.
