The Dick is at it again. In a speech to a room full of neocons armchair generals* yesterday, The Dick attacked President Obama's deliberate process in deciding on troop levels in Afghanistan. Saying that the President was "afraid" to make a decision, The Dick claimed that he was hearing "the drumbeat of defeatism" regarding Afghanistan. (Actually, The Dick might want to cut back on the medication to see if that eliminates the drumbeat sound in his head).
To review recent history, it was The Dick's regime in 2008 that rejected the commanding general's request for an additional 30,000 troops for Afghanistan -- the country from which we were attacked on 9-11 -- while we continued to wage war on a country that wasn't involved in that attack, that had no contact with al Qaeda, and that had no weapons of mass destruction. Chickenhawk Dick is all for involving us in military adventures overseas, weakening our military capabilities by stretching them to the breaking point, while at a comfortable distance from the battles.
To review more distant history, no one who claimed to have had "other priorities" during the Vietnam War in obtaining 5 deferments should be accusing anyone of being "afraid." Although given The Dick's "skill" with a shotgun, it's probably best for our troops that he sat out the Vietnam War.

*Postscript: Tweety had a video of the gathering, and sure enough it had the usual neocon suspects: Rummy, Frank "Gaffe" Gaffney, Doug "Flake" Feith, Irving "Scooter" Libby. So much stupid in one place. . .
