Military Chiefs Turn Thier Fire on Barack Obama Over Afghanistan Withdrawal Plan
The disconnect between Obama and reality now involves his mishandling of The Global War Against Islamic-Jihad
America's military leaders have distanced themselves from President's Barack Obama's plan to withdraw 33,000 troops from Afghanistan by next September, branding the drawdown timetable as more hasty and riskier than the one they proposed.
General David Petraeus, the Nato commander in Afghanistan, told Senators: "The ultimate decision was a more aggressive formulation, if you will, in terms of the timeline than what we had recommended."
Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the most senior United States military commander, used a hearing before the House Armed Services Committee to reveal a significant breach between Mr Obama and the senior officers he charged with defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan.
"The president's decisions are more aggressive and incur more risk than I was originally prepared to accept," he told a House of Representatives committee hearing.

There's no Commander in Chief in the White House.
No mention of success. No mention of victory. No mission of accomplishment.
It's all defeat and withdrawal and pride in it.
What does this absence of leadership do for military morale ?
I'd not be surprised if some Generals and Commanders in the field resign.

How dare those Field Commanders and Generals, men who spent their lives studying and executing war, disagree with Obama. After all, being a community organizer in Chicago is equal to a life of service in the military.
