From CNSNews.com: Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, a candidate in the 2009 Afghan presidential election, said the July 2011 date set by President Barack Obama for U.S. troops to draw-down from Afghanistan is problematic because it creates a perception of mixed messages about U.S. commitment to the country.

Read more about this video here. Here’s another one that show’s Obama’s inability to saulte properly and complete lack of knowledge and respect for military customs. This will make anyone with military experience sick to their stomach. (You’ve got to read the comments on this video on its YouTube page.)

I see this move as nothing but a political move to [...]
