On Wednesday evening, President Barack Obama appeared in his first presidential address since the death of Al Qaida leader, Osama Bin Laden. The Commander-in-Chief delivered a speech in which he informed the American citizens about his plan to withdraw the American troops from Afghanistan:
Starting next month, we will be able to remove 10,000 of our troop from Afghanistan by the end of this year. We will bring home a total of 33,000 troops by next summer. Fully recovering the surge I announced at Westpoint. After this initial reduction, our troops will continue coming home at a steady pace. As Afghan security forces move into the lead. Our mission will move from combat to support. By 2014, this process of transition will be complete. The Afghan people will be responsible for their own security.
Watch: President Obama’s Address [Full]
You go boy!
w/e obama that was the plan from jump to train afghanistan ppl to fight other afghanistans so we wouldnt have to do it just like the u.s. did with the vietnimese ppl when this country turns against war we kindly withdrawl a protion while training the natives to kill for the U.S! u withdrawl 33,000 by 2012 but there will still b 65,000 soliders still there why cant we just bring them all home?= OIL & OPIOM!
He’s doing everything possible to secure that re-election. goodluck. hmmmm, great idea just came to me, we should a tutorial on a michelle obama hairstyle and make-up combo.
For real, Obama & his pimp walk is doing all he can for his campaign of 2012. He really thinks he is jiggy, I was waiting for him to pop & lock.
I watched the address last night, and as usual Obama didn`t disappoint. Removing 30k US troops from Afghanistan, while 70/80k remain is hardly worthy of praise. However, I understand the game and how it`s played. Obama, like all of his predecessors is nothing more than a ‘FIGUREHEAD’ for the world bank and big business who are the true gate keepers. Obama is just one who`s sold his soul in order to make the devils` bid. America is a capitalist nation, and as such it will always maintain a substantial military presence on foreign lands so that the capitalist make continue to operate on a global level. How many of you honestly think that the powers that be didn`t know of and begin to fashion Obama long before he came onto the public arena? Just think of how often the rulers of the world bank and big business call Obama for a meeting and give him his marching orders? Some of you may think me to be insane or paranoid but that`s how the game is played.
Obama receives his orders and he acts accordingly, be it scheduling a national address or calling for military action. But you can bet your life that Obama or no American President is making these decisions when it comes to governing this capitalist society known as America. A capitalist system has to have blood to suck in order to substain its` lifeline. That`s why The US Government will never agree to a communist society, for in doing so, it will mean distribution of the wealth. The President, like The Congress and The Senate are bought and paid for by big business, i.e. The Oil Companies, Insurance Agencies, Pharmecudicals, Wall Street, The Banking Industry, The Mortgage Industry, etc. Hell, why do you think they bailed out Wall Street and AIG? The Government doesn`t have the interest of the people as a priority but only that of big business. For me to put my trust in Obama or The Government would show a lack of intelligence/understanding on my part.
There`s ‘NOTHING’ Obama can do for me because he`s nothing more than a hired/paid gun for the status-quo. And the status-quo doesn`t have my best interest. That announcement by Obama last night was nothing more than superficial at best. So we can be duped and go to the polls and vote for these politicians until hell freezes over but there will never be any real change unless there`s a “FUNDAMENTAL’ change in the system. A capitalist society doesn`t benefit the masses but only the classes. Don`t be so easily led like pigs to the slaughter and think that Obama and The US Government gives a damn about any of us. The US Govenment has more than 120 military bases stationed around the world to insure that Western politics are the norm. So I, therefore, am not impressed with Obama meaningless announcement last night. It only proved one thing, that is America is very tricky when it comes to spinning its` web before The American people. The US Government really takes us for a fool who can be toyed with like a yo-yo.
No matter how much Obama grandizes I, for one, can not be duped. I think with my own mind and I see things as they really are. The US Government, nor The White News media are our friend. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC, are all controlled and paid for by The Elites. So really if you live in America you are being given a distorted view of the world outside of ‘WHITE’ America. They tell us these people are terrorists, but could it be that they are really freedon fighters trying to protect their land against the imperialists who seek to control and dominate their natural resources?? One should never take what The US Government says as an absoulte but it has historically been known to sway the truth for their own devious,demonic, political gain. Until/unless America stands on the principles that every human being on Earth has a moral right to live with liberty and dignity it will forever remain morally bankrupt. And so-called lady liberty that stands in New York is nothing more than the greatest contradiction the world has ever known.
Peace, in the name of my ‘HERO’ Malcolm X
Sorry show me!!
@THINKERBELL
Lol, I agree. I wonder if some astute person on youtube has compiled footage of the amount of times the “president”, whether it be Bush or Obama, have gotten on national tv and announced a timetable for “withdrawing troops”. The fact of the matter is that Afghanistan and Iraq are now provinces (vassals) of the United States, and as such must be presided over by U.S. troops and N.A.T.O. forces for the forseeable future. Anytime one entity can tell another entity who it is that will lead their country, and what form of government they want installed, they are not there to bring “freedom” lol.
2,750 troops a month. what he doesn’t tell you is how many more troops are gonna be sent to replace THOSE troops that are “coming home”. So i call bullshit on that….
This “homosexual” just wont stop sellig wolf tickets.D*mn pawn.
how do you know he’s homosexual? did you see him fuck another guy? if not STFU and stop assuming things
Wonderful plan if it takes place—Im concerned of the the LACK of employment for these people that has and is serving our country. Many of them will fall to the wayside unfortunately
Thats good. At least I can say he is a president that delivers for the people. He may not make everybody happy but the majority sure are proud of him.
Agree.
