of mass destruction. as bad as 9/11 was, they were not crippled. so that s what he was trying to say. nobody cares. go ahead with your feaux outrage. you shifted it to afghanistan and i think that was the important stuff. here is the part i find most disturbing. quote, they found a way out of the war in afghanistan pressing his budget for a military plan. frustrated with his commanders. obama crafted his own exit strategy. i am not wild about a guy with zero military experience crafting his own military strategy. i thought you said craping and i giggled in my head. you are basically putting politics ahead of national

nation building. i m not spending a trillion dollars. i have two years with the public on this. i want an exit strategy. i can t leave the whole democratic party. some of the quotes from his national security team are as incendiary as alleged quotes in rolling stone magazine that got mcchrystal fired. the top commander in afghanistan, david petraeus reportedly describes axelrod as a complete spin doctor. national security advisor jim jones reportedly calls president obama political aides alternative the water bugs, the mafia or the campaign set. top members of his own national security team are quoted saying that 30,000 troop surge was a mistake. the president coordinator calls it a gamble.
