Please. Obama wants defeat in Afghanistan so bad he can taste it. Already Phil Donohue, the Guilty Rich White Guy backer of Obama, is calling for an immediate pull-out of Afghanistan because “it’s another Vietnam and we cannot win.”

Obama spent a lifetime wishing defeat on the US and railing against it. He’s going to switch now? Please.

The only thing to be seen is how quickly Obama orders a pull-out and how we leave, in an Alamo-Chosin Reservoir defeat, or like Saigon. My betting is on the former since Obama, who is also crpyto-Muslim at best, shares many of the same goals and values as the Taliban.

He might not have the American flag in the fireplace and Osama bin Laden’s picture on the mantel as in the New Yorker Cartoon, but it’s about as close as we can get.

No way is Obama interested in anything but a humiliating defeat for the US in Afghanistan. He wants it, and his backers want it. The ladies of Code Pink and the View, the Phil Donanhues, the George Clooneys and Sean Penns, and the Bill Ayers and Rev. Wrights would be overcome with joy and celebration.
