Reply #21: So Suggest A Realistic Alternative

[KharmaTrain]

If these people are incompetent then who will do a better job. Who REALISTICALLY will. And what type of time frames do you give those people? The same 90 days?

Damn right I cite the alternative and what we previously had as both an example of how bad things could be and the mess this administration has to deal with. The plate is full...many want change and on the drop of a hat...without understanding the difficulties bringing real change to a large beauracracy and the society in general. Obama won 55 percent of the popular vote...a mandate for instituting a shift, but there's still 45 percent that have a say in a democracy as well as an adversarial media that would love to see this administration tied up in in fighting rather than bringing long term positive change.

I want our troops out of Iraq...but I want them out safely. I want also want an exit out of Afghanistan...but not leaving it as a new breeding ground for future attacks on Americans or anyone else for that matter. I have a long list of hopes and expectations of this administration, but I also want to give them a chance to manuever...to succede. If things aren't moving fast enough, sorry. Life isn't fair.
