      He's not? Why Beck? Because he's a democrat (who has said all along that he would fight to win in Afghanistan and bring peace back to that country)?

      Beck, you're an idiot. Our greatest military victory ever came under a democrat.

      Apparently Beck has been appointed as the Wingnut Ombudsman for FOX. He's going after the Tinfoil-Hat-Survivalist-Libertarian-Nutbag Demographic.

      Since nobody else on Cable is catering to that particular niche, he should have it pretty well sewn up.

      Yes, because allowing husbands to punish their wives for not giving sex is an excellent policy and we should leave because they obviously can handle it.

      No, you didn't tell President Bush to pull out, Mr. Beck:

      You never seemed to have been opposed to any foreign war at all, until a Democrat took over the White House. The fact that the invasion of Iraq itself was awry seems never to have occurred to you.

      Have you heard about Google? Because every time you open your mouth and say something this easy to disprove, it makes me wonder. Do you wish to know how many personnel have died in Afghanistan?

      See how easy that was? And it didn't cost me a thing. These facts you claim to have a hard time finding seem awfully simple to locate, Mr. Beck.

      So, let me get this straight.

      President Bush sends troops to Afghanistan in Operation Enduring Freedom which started October 7, 2001.

      So, Bush, for the last 7 years of his Presidency, was "Fighting to Win?" He must have been, because you never called on President Bush to remove the troops.

      But in the last 7 months, where President Obama has increased the military operation there, you know, gave the troops there the tools they need to win... well that's not fighting to win.

      And, oh by the way Becky... President Bush spent

      897 days in Crawford, Texas, or 30% of time as President.
      Which was a record for any President since Reagan.

        Exactly. And Obama increases troop presence in Afghanistan, and increases the resources going into Afghanistan and somehow he doens't want to "win"?

        And we've passed over into crazy Glenn Beck world again where right is left, up is down, and wrong is right.
