      I assume he thinks President Bush will also pay for letting our soldiers bleed and die in the afterlife then.

        No, because they WANTED to bleed and die for the Glorious Not-Fake Texan, but they all hate Barack Hussein Socialist Blackity-Black ACORN. Try to remember that Beck believes every American soldier has the exact same opinions as his (just like every Holocaust survivor, civil rights leader and/or rape victim).

        Bush sent them there, and left them there to rot for 7 years while he invaded Iraq for no good reason.

        Glenn worships George Bush and therefore everything he did was perfectly correct and everything Obama does is of course wrong.

          Agreed, achorn316. He's expecting father and son Bush to meet him at the pearly gates when his time comes.

      This lying little weasel will be paying for it along with the others who cheered for war, who sold the war and who took us to war.

      To them war is a game. One that none of them has ever suited up for.

        Beck supported Bush's war lies because he thinks war prevents war. Here, he's suggesting that Obama send more troops to bleed and die so that they won't bleed and die. Beck an idiot's idiot.

      What's funny is that EVERY Republican, Conservative, Neo-Conservative and FoxNews Hosts i.e. Beck, Hannity, Doocy, Carlson, O'Reilly, Kilmeade, Wallace, etc. "argue" to send more troops and "never" continue with the next four little words of ...'for the NEXT TEN YEARS'. America wants more troops for our Soldiers, but "NOT" for the next TEN YEARS. Uh, oh. LOL.

      But no... now Obama himself is going to hell.

      Glenn, you may not be so happy with an afterlife if your deeds come back to bite you. What do you have to answer for? If you lead people astray, it may make you some bucks in this world, but if it leads them to harm or to harm others, you will have committed a mortal sin! What do you think about that?

      As to President Obama, he has to be careful and he has to consider where he sends the troops and how many he commits. We have now been in Iraq and Afghanistan longer than we fought in Europe in both WWI and WWII and there is no end in sight. Our Army is a lot smaller than it was then and a great burden has fallen on the troops and their families. Some of these service members have now spent half of the last eight years away from their families and under a gun or over an IED. They are tired. Their equipment is wearing out, they are overstretched, and Americans don't want to pay what it would really cost to build up the military to relieve the pressure on our overtaxed troops. Yes, Glenn supports the troops....with his lips but he doesn't want to put his (tax)money where is mouth is! I am quite sure the President is considering all of these things as he makes this decision. I wouldn't want to have his job, would you? They are looking for people to serve (as civilians) in Afghanistan and Iraq, why doesn't Glenn volunteer for that. He can go over and run the local radio station for AFRTS. Live with the service members, shower in those KBR showers, eat in the chow hall. How about it Glenn?

        None of these self-styled military experts ever get challanged on the simple fact that anything that happens in Afghanistan won't start until after the winter. That's been the case all along. The winters, especially in the areas where most of the fighting will happen, are notoriuosly brutal and shut down all but essential operations for weeks at a time. Even unused, any exposed equipment takes a terrible beating and will need more maintenence to keep it going.

      Republicans provide a lot of data that can be used against them in the next election.

      Forget Beck stupidity for a moment and read below:

      If the Democrats wanted to use Republicans’ words and actions against them in the next Presidential election they would have a lifetime of data.
      You could start with the general election with Republican candidates John McCain and Sarah Palin. 98% of their campaign was attacks, criticism and negative ads. Their vision for America and policy took a back seat.
      It is a fact that most of what they accused their opponent of was falsehoods, and in many cases out-right lies. For example: There is tons of footage at lynch mob rallies of them calling a fellow American Presidential hopeful a "communist", "Marist" and "un-American". On top of that both of them sat back and did nothing while some in attendance yelled "off with his head", "kill the ni*%er" and "he is a terrorist" referring to Barack Obama (John finally said something about a week later). Since losing the Presidency to Barack Obama all they do is criticize and attack while trying to obstruct him from doing his job.
      Republicans in general have abandoned their "core principles, values and responsibility" to the American people and replaced it with out-right lies, distortion and miss-representation, and they do so with no shame and no regard to TV cameras.
      They show no interest in the well being of the American people, instead most of their time is spent attacking and criticizing the President. Republicans are proud to go on the record and state that they opposed universal affordable healthcare for the American people. Not caring or knowing how that will look in the next election. One politician, ignoring the well being of the American people, said "Healthcare will be Obama's waterloo". Meaning.. If we deny Obama a Healthcare victory his presidency will be a failure. Republicans are more interested in an Obama failure then they are about the good the welfare of the American people.
      As I said above there is plenty of data and it grows by the day. Stupidity is an on going thing with Republicans today and they are providing America with a lot of nonsense that could be used against them in the future.

      So does he think that Bush had out brave men and women fighting it the right way? Bush had us in Iraq rather than focusing on Afghanistan and didn't listen to his own generals when told that they needed more troops.

      I'd much rather we brought all of our solders back ASAP, unless you bombed the area totally flat (I would NOT be willing to do that) you are not going to win a war there just ask Russia. Lets get out military home and back with their family's.

      We don't have any troops that can be sent before late next spring.

      The decision could be made tomorrow and the first batch of troops won't be sent until May or June! We just don't have any spare troops to send right now.

      Obama is not letting our troops down. That's a lie from Beck.
