New Book by Bob “Watergate” Woodward Obama’s War: President Avoided Talk about Victory and Thinks he knows more than his Generals


What do you expect from President Barack Obama who doesn’t know anything about the military?

The only thing he knows how to do id read from a teleprompter.

The National Enquirer reports that according to the declassified memos of the 2009 Afghan strategy review, Obama avoided talk of victory.

"This needs to be a plan about how we're going to hand it off and get out of Afghanistan," Obama is quoted in the book, as he delineated his reasoning for ADDING 30,000 troops in a "short-term" escalation.

"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 doing so, Obama infuriated his more-experienced military advisers. According to Woodward, Gen. David Petraeus felt so isolated by the administration's off-handed dismissal of his plan, he stormed out of a meeting, saying the White House was "f-king with the wrong guy."

National Security Adviser Gen. James Jones became so distrustful of the President's inner circle he secretly began calling them the "Politburo" and the "Mafia."
