OBAMA TRIES TO PUT A POSITIVE SPIN ON HIS NATO FAILURE

THE SPIN: CNN: Obama pleased with NATO allies' pledges of Afghan support

President Obama hailed the NATO summit in Europe on Saturday, calling the meeting "very productive" and praising the alliance's commitment to the fight in Afghanistan.

President Obama, speaking Saturday at the end of the NATO summit, said it was successful.

"Today I'm confident that we took a substantial step forward to renewing our alliance to meet the challenges of our time," said Obama.

THE TRUTH: NYTIMES: Europeans Offer Few New Troops for Afghanistan

European leaders offered few extra troops for President Obama’s intensified effort in Afghanistan, underlining deep divisions within the alliance over the war.
... For a NATO summit meeting marking the 60th anniversary of the alliance and intended to be without drama, the event has been fractious both inside the hall and outside it.

... European allies agreed to provide up to 5,000 new troops for Afghanistan, the White House said Saturday. But 3,000 of them are to be deployed only temporarily to provide security for the August elections in Afghanistan. A further 1,400 to 2,000 soldiers will be sent to form embedded training teams for the Afghan Army and the police.

... “No one will say this publicly, but the true fact is that we are all talking about our exit strategy from Afghanistan,” a senior European diplomat said Saturday. “We are getting out. It may take a couple of years, but we are all looking to get out.” He spoke on the condition of anonymity under diplomatic rules.

OBAMA IS NOT ONLY INCOMPETENT AND A SOCIALIST AND AN APPEASER - HE'S A FREAKIN BULLSHIT-ARTIST.

THE SAD THING IS : 90% OF THE MSM AND HALF OF THE ELECTORATE STILL BELIEVE HIM - FOR NOW...
