Tim D'Annunzio Reveals Obama's True Intentions on Afghan Strategy

RAEFORD, NC - Tim D'Annunzio, candidate for Congress in the 8^th district of North Carolina, today issued the following statement as reports began to emerge on the President's intentions regarding General McChrystal's recommendations on troop levels in Afghanistan:

"After reading about the President's plan to send a few thousand troops to Afghanistan and to send small numbers of troops a little bit at a time over the next couple of years, I am disturbed by the ulterior motives of the Obama administration and liberal Members of Congress.

"This morning on Fox News, Senator Bayh said that Obama's decision wasn't the McChrystal plan and stated that it is was actually Obama and Gates' ‘tactical judgment' overriding McChrystal's ‘recommendations.'

"According to Fox News, Bayh said he is ‘going to trust the tactical judgment' of Defense Secretary Robert Gates on the appropriate force size, and that Obama and Gates ‘have to show some deference to the military commander,' but McChrystal's suggestions ‘are just recommendations, they are not the Ten Commandments.'

"The article goes on to say that, ‘Supporters of a phased deployment say it will allow Obama to determine whether the counterinsurgency strategy proposed by McChrystal is working.'

"How can the McChrystal plan be judged on its merits if it isn't being implemented?  This is the Obama strategy and it has nothing to do with winning in Afghanistan.  The strategy of the Obama administration is to do enough to claim they are implementing the McChrystal plan, when in fact they are doing just enough to be able to blame McChrystal when the inevitable defeat occurs in Afghanistan due to their refusal to listen to and follow his plan.

"The Obama strategy is a domestic strategy and is aimed at his enemies who are opposing his U.S. national destruction.  The troops in the field and the generals are all acceptable casualties to President Obama and must be subordinated to his priority of social reconstruction after destruction. I will continue to push for full implementation of General McChrystal's plan and refuse to allow our men and women in uniform to become political pawns."

Shouldn't Tim start running against Lou Huddleston, or possibly even Larry Kissell, before he runs for Commander in Chief?

What am I missing here? The RNC has anointed Huddleston already. Tim just has money to burn and bad message control. See NY-23 for details.
