Obama Iraq Withdrawal Speech Met with Embarrassing ‘Tepid’ Response
So says CNN. As well as Amy Proctor.
Until he starts doing things differently (i.e. not acting like a far-left, Huffington Post, MoveOn.org reading liberal) he will continue to get respectful "golf claps" whenever he visits the troops. They know that their new commander-in-chief is just not that behind them.
An excellent comment was left on AP's blog about this very thing:
"The Obama administration is ignoring the vital role of the morale in our military. In his state of the Union speech, Obama referred to ways to “responsibly end” the Iraq war. I cannot think a way to responsibly end the war without also calling it “victory.” Why would the commander in chief not want to use the term “victory?”
But alas, I know the answer. For the last half decade, Obama and most of the Democratic Party made good political hay in bashing the war, despite voting to start it and fund it. Lead by the likes of Harry “the war is lost” Reid, John “in cold blood” Murtha, and Hillary “absence of disbelief” Clinton they not only undermined the war, but falsely attacked the troops as well. It would take political courage for Obama to declare victory in a war he claimed was lost.
These circumstances do not lessen the glory, honor, and sacrifice of our military in their victory in Iraq. We quickly for forget the fall of Baghdad in less the 30 days with few casualties - An astonishing military victory. We also underestimate the skill and bravery required to fight “the Surge”, where our military successfully won the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people. Displaying a flexibility and discipline not shown in any previous military. Our troops deserve full recognition for the victory.
We have increased out troop presence in Afghanistan. The continuation of what may be long war. It would be wise for Commander in Chief Obama to remember the words of arguably the best military leader ever: “Morale is to material (in war) as is the ratio of three to one…Napoleon.” Few men will be inspired to “responsibly end” a war in Afghanistan."
Of course, the nutroots are whining "Not fast enough!"
Boo hoo.
