He will not be rushed into making his solemn decision.

Now, what’s the theme of this Wednesday’s White House party?

“The attacks happened a day after 14 Americans were killed in a pair of helicopter crashes in Afghanistan. It was the largest number of Americans killed in Afghanistan in a single day in more than four years.”

Not even GWB would go along with my solutions for Afgan or Iraq, but then, I’m not a real compassionate fellow. Stories like these rip my heart out. RIP troops.

I wonder if any of his commie aides went out to the golf course to advise him of this piece of news. Not that it would make any difference.

55 the total number of American troops killed in October in Afghanistan

Still, obama has not published his National Security Strategy.

Indeed.

When you go to war, GO TO WAR.

You are in it to win it as quickly as you can, with as few of YOUR SIDE’s casualties as possible.

I don’t believe we have fought like that since WW II.

Obama has more important things to do like trying to break 100 at the golf course, raising cash for his fellow marxists and shooting hoops with the boys in the backyard

Back in the GWB days, it seems like every SINGLE war related death was front page news.

Now, there is SILENCE from the MSM!!

The key to winning is leadership. The key to leadership is decision making.

No Decision is a Decision

Maybe this is deliberate. Perhaps he’s hoping the body count gets high enough that the public will be clamoring for him to pull out, a la Vietnam.

Hate to think an American President would operate this way, but with this clown who knows.
