You know, I believed this was true and just told myself that it was impossible.<\/p>\n

I even told myself that Obama might not believe in our military activities overseas, but that he saw some wisdom in them.<\/p>\n

And I was a fool. Here’s Jackson Diehl, in the Washington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

One of the most remarkable aspects of Bob Woodward’s new book, “Obama’s Wars,” is its portrait of a White House that has all but resigned itself to failure in Afghanistan. As Woodward recounts it, by last spring — just six months after President Obama announced the dispatch of 30,000 additional U.S. troops, along with a modified counterinsurgency strategy — virtually every civilian official at the National Security Council and in the vice president’s office had concluded that the plan was doomed.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If that doesn’t offend you, you’re not paying attention. Forget my outrage as the father of a soldier whose life Obama was prepared to waste in support of a cause he and his team have no faith in – I’m outraged as a taxpayer, as a citizen, as someone who relies on my government to defend me and mine and to advance the causes of our nation.<\/p>\n
