Obama Snatching Defeat

Barack Hussein Obama spoke this evening of foreclosing any possibility of victory over the Jihadist atavists of Afghanistan. Without considering the strategic implications which include emboldening neighboring Iran and rekindling the fire of al-Qaeda, Obama assures US gains can not be sustained, ground can not be held, and that Taliban terrorists will eventually retake Kabul. It is a sad day for the United States, for the sons and daughters already lost, for the region, for the peace and safety of the world, and for anyone who loves freedom, but this day like so many other recent days belongs solely and squarely to Obama.
