Bad Decision Based On Bad Advice

...Obama's Military Advisors Need To Go

First, there’s much being said about President Obama’s ill-fated, ill-advised decision to make the Bush/Cheney eight year disaster that is Afghanistan his own. Those of the War-Is-Great-When-I-Make-Millions-From-It Party (formerly known as the GOP) still want Obama to be a failed President. Karl Rove, a Bush co-conspirator in the Bush/Cheney eight-year War Crimes spree and propaganda minister for the party of the military/industrial complex said he supports Obama’s surge of 30,000 troops. Sounds like support, doesn’t it? It isn’t. It is a calculated statement designed to deceive. Rove made the statement in order to help drive a larger wedge between Obama and his core base supporters who do not agree with his Afghan move. And there is disagreement.

Secondly, the division in the camp of Obama today over his decision is going to fester and grow as Obama leaves himself vulnerable to more bad advice in the future from the same people who failed in Afghanistan for almost eight years under the Bush/Cheney War Crimes Machine. They were incapable of winning then, the same will be true between now and 2011. Some say Obama’s decision should not have surprised anyone since he said over and over during the campaign it was what he planned to do. And why was that, do you think? Why did then-candidate Obama think it necessary to pursue a losing war in Afghanistan? Why did the now-President Obama think the same? The answer to both questions is: bad advice from the same sources, General McChrystal and the other Bush/Cheney generals, proven liars all, proven failures all—as I’ve pointed out here before.
