The president has reportedly rejected all options on Afghanistan presented to him by his national security team.
Repeat – Obama has rejected all options presented by his team. Not George W Bush’s team, or John McCain’s team, or even Rush Limbaugh’s team.
Barack Obama rejected all options presented by the very people he selected to give him advice on matters he knows less about than all the other things he knows little about – but still is in charge of running.
According to AP:
Obama still is close to announcing his revamped war strategy, most likely shortly after he returns from a trip to Asia that ends on Nov. 19.
What the..??
Instead of asking for more options he has asked how soon we can turn the country over to the locals. Fine. Is that not a decision?
If I were part of the esteemed media – I would report that the president HAS decided. The decision is to get the f**k out of there – with the time line to be determined.
“Gee, it’s been fun guys, but I really have a thing…. so we’ll just be going now. You can keep all the shell casings and extra body bags and, uh, here are some more Obama-Biden bumper stickers.”
He is taking his ball and going home.
Perhaps the mysterious attack at Fort Hood has him in a bind. According to liberals, it is all our fault. The 9-11 attacks, Ft Hood, or any other bad event is blamed on the USA and conservatives specifically.
We are just too selfish and greedy to get it. So, Obama HAS decided. He is not dithering or distracted by health care or the Koreas, or the conflict in Israel versus the Palestinians. He has decided that our boys are coming home.
Perhaps he should just man-up and say it. Many would oppose his decision, but it is his to make. A leader would get out in front and make the announcement already. Don’t wait for fancy speech writers or new updates to the teleprompter software – just spit it out.
Our finest men and women are in harm’s way over there. They deserve better than this.
