Un-flipping-believable...
Sorry, Zer0, you can’t vote “present” on this one!
This guy is the most indecisive person, let alone President, I’ve ever seen when it comes to foreign affairs. What the hell is he thinking?
Once the decision to go to war is made, the generals should call the shots, this begging a crytpo-muslim communist usurper for troops in the middle of the war while he spends more time playing golf than "thinking about the war" is preposterous.
Zer0 is looking for a “fall guy”. He has no intention of winning but he needs a compliant dufus to CYA.
My hunch is’s he wants victory for the Muslim terrorists by
having our military appear as a failure.
Now he needs the Pentagon to generate a few alternative proposals that will give him some political cover and some scapegoats to blame if his already determined action turns out to be disastrous.
from the source article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/30/AR2009103004081.html?hpid=topnews
“The president appears committed to adding at least 10,000 to 15,000 troops in Afghanistan in an effort to bolster the training of Afghan army and police officers in the country. Current plans call for the United States to double the size of the Afghan army and police forces to about 400,000 in the hope that they can take over security responsibilities.”
If they’re floating 10-15K, I have a feeling they want 25,000 to sound like a strong commitment in comparison.
Obama, The Great Ditherer.
Clueless.

why wait?

He’s a rock star. Rock stars have a difficult time with reality.
By the way, how did Obama do on the golf course yesterday? Is that new putter working for him?

Maybe Obama’s slowness is cultural, he’s not from the USA you know.
So that would be Friday, October 30, 2009. What was he thinking about all the time he was in the Senate, during the presidential election, since November 4, 2008 and since entering office in January of this year 9 months ago?
Did his advisors and staff not include just one person thinking about how to handle Afghanistan? Maybe it just wasn't important enough.
They could send Mayor Daley to run Afghanistan; look what he's done for Chicago.
Hamlet Obama.
When Obama bought GM, did he also get the ghost of Robert McNamara, or what?
