Obama Is Actually On Every Committee | Including The One That Maybe Could Have Raised NATO Troop Levels In Afghanistan
He’s not on that committee. What makes this even more pathetic, though, is that he does Chair the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs, which has jurisdiction over NATO which has provided military support in Afghanistan since 2003. Obama has not once, even as Chair of this committee, held a meeting regarding the role of NATO in Afghanistan. However, amazingly, Obama has recently called for an increased military presence in Afghanistan! Regardless of how little sense and consistency one can find in Obama’s positions regarding military presence in Afghanistan & Iraq, the simple truth remains that if Obama wanted to increase NATO troop levels in Afghanistan he could have discussed it at one of these subcommittee meetings.
Instead, he decided to talk about it on the campaign trail. One can assume that Obama would, in fact, rather lose a war than an election.
For all of his talk about the “confusion” of John McCain, I’m starting to think that Barack Obama may have early Alzheimer’s, or some sort of short-term memory loss or something. McCain is sharp, and judging from his mother, he’s going to be sharp for a long time to come.
This Obama guy needs to go back to being a “community organizer.”
