Fox News - Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said Tuesday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that former Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ revelation in his new memoir that his commander-in-chief didn’t believe in the war in Afghanistan and subsequent surge in troops was shocking.

“Obama doesn’t believe in the surge or in the war, or in his own actions,” Krauthammer said, “He doesn’t believe in [General] Petraeus, he hates [Afghan President] Karzai, he thinks the war isn’t his. How can a commander-in-chief do that?”

Krauthammer went on to say he assumed President Obama didn’t believe in the war, since the president never explained why the war or the surge in American troops in Afghanistan was important.

However, Krauthammer said Gates’ confirmation of this is “an indictment of the president that rises above everything else he’s done in his presidency.”

I don't understand what you guys are trying to achieve here. Doesn't it get tiring to endlessly hover over every whisper or fart that Fox News lets out looking for the latest bit of Obama Drama you can hang your hat on? Then you come racing to a cigar forum and shout "Ah HA!!! I told you he was an idiot!!!"

Worse than women gossiping over General Hospital or Days of Our Lives.

Guess we should close our eyes and forget about it. Everything will be ok tomorrow!

Sorry that Fox is the only outlet that reports on #1's f###k-ups.

Listen to the others and everything is great! And where has that gotten us?

I watch the rest of the outlets and find some non-leftist reporting. Not very much though.

LOL... Where exactly are you trying to be?

People who didn't get their way will always fret in turmoil. You're a prime example.

Go smoke a cigar and relax, eh?

It seems those on the left can't manage to get past the messenger to evaluate the message.

Guess it is funny to those that enjoy seeing this once great nation being destroyed by the current leftist regime. Being a realist, my only real concern is for what our future generations face.

Suppose I should just sit around and be entitled.

Your ideas are the only ones that makes sense. Don't do them, and f##k it. Throw your sucker in the dirt and pout. Take pot shots at what you perceive as the other side, the enemy, your countrymen who have different ideas and opinions than specifically you do. Did you teach your kids to behave this way?

Sorry for getting involved in your thread. I'll leave you to your black helicopter chasing.

You keep calling me left. Untrue.

Just because I think you're nutz doesn't mean I'm a democrat.

The "Us against Them" mentality is your problem IMO.

Typical liberal, blaming the source rather than the news itself.

But who am I to argue. You obviously know much more about daytime soap operas than I do.
