WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

BO is still seeking a way to vote present.

A plague on his house!

(Unfortunately, we’re the ones suffering the plague, the Obama plague)

Heaven help our troops, BO ain’t going to do it.

Effing panty waist.

Wants to be king, not very interested in hearing much from anyone.

[himno hero]

True,

I was contemplating the national level.

I thought zero had all the answers back in september and october of last year. Now he is just waiting for someone, anyone, to give him cover to pull out of afghan. Doesn't much matter if it come from his ‘security team, a diplomat or a military person.

[ClayinVA]

nope, the next time we just nuke the whole country and be done with it.

[kevao]

I see, and agree.

Osama tried to destroy our economy by bringing down the WTC, and to decapitate our military by bombing the Pentagon.

What Osama failed to do from without on 9/11, Obama is doing from within, and he’s doing it much more effectively.

The boy king is going to China starting tomorrow for nine days. A decision won't be made until he returns according to media reports (if then).

"President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team..."

The two options he's been presented are (a) Win, or (b) Lose, and he doesn't want to accept either of them???

How very fucking sophisticated of him!

[himno hero]

He is the great destroyer driving for a caliphate.

[Gritty]

I guess two of the options not presented were:

1. Bleed and run

2. Just run

Bump. Expect resignations from top commanders. No fighting general would put up with this.

I don’t know if you’re religious, but I believe “the beast” of Revelation is a Muslim caliphate, and the “false prophet” will be an Islamist.

But, then again, I’m also usually wrong about pretty much everything.

Welcome to Ezekials Expressway that Obama is going to precipitate.
