Obama: "We can absorb a terrorist attack," wants to surrender Afghanistan war

Obama's complete quote in the headline is "

"We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger."

That's one heck of a bombshell quote, but is consistent with the left's insistence that America overreacted to 911. It's just another indicator of what most of us already know - Obama and leftists in general don't care about protecting this country from terrorists attacks. As twisted as it may sound at first, they truly do believe that McDonalds is a bigger danger than terrorists. Recall that leftist hero Michael Moore specifically pointed out on air that the McDonalds at Ground Zero killed more people than the 911 hijackers:

They would rather wage a war on cupcakes than a war on terror.  The quote in the headline came from The Washington Post: Bob Woodward book details Obama battles with advisers over exit plan for Afghan war. And as the saying goes, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Excerpts from Woodwards book paint Obama as what most of us know him to be - a big, sloppy, wet vagina (More proof that Obama is the first female President). The man literally is dictating the waving of the white flag in Afghanistan and refuses to even mention the word 'victory.' Check out how the WaPo piece begins:

President Obama urgently looked for a way out of the war in Afghanistan last year, repeatedly pressing his top military advisers for an exit plan that they never gave him, according to secret meeting notes and documents cited in a new book by journalist Bob Woodward.

Frustrated with his military commanders for consistently offering only options that required significantly more troops, Obama finally crafted his own strategy, dictating a classified six-page "terms sheet" that sought to limit U.S. involvement, Woodward reports in "Obama's Wars," to be released on Monday.

According to Woodward's meeting-by-meeting, memo-by-memo account of the 2009 Afghan strategy review, the president avoided talk of victory as he described his objectives.

Well of course! That's what weenies do! Run away, run away! And check this Obama quote out:

"Everything we're doing has to be focused on how we're going to get to the point where we can reduce our footprint. It's in our national security interest. There cannot be any wiggle room."

In other words, WE are the problem, not the terrorists. In Obama's point of view, and that of leftists in general, our fighting the war is creating or saving terrorists. Which - you know - is why they preemptively attacked us on 911, and the US Cole, and the first WTC attack, knowing that we would at some future date go to war in places that they set up their terror training camps. Further in the WaPo article, it is revealed that National security adviser James L. Jones refers to Obama's political aides as "the Mafia," that General Petraeus felt shut out by the regime and calls David Axelrod "a complete spin doctor" (uh - which he IS, so nothing new there), the damning quote in my headline, and this quote again in reference to Afghanistan:

The president is quoted as telling Mullen, Petraeus and Gates: "In 2010, we will not be having a conversation about how to do more. I will not want to hear, 'We're doing fine, Mr. President, but we'd be better if we just do more.' We're not going to be having a conversation about how to change [the mission] . . . unless we're talking about how to draw down faster than anticipated in 2011."

The mission, in Obama's mind, is fleeing the country in surrender, not victory. God help us...
