Carlson dubs Obama's reported emerging Afghanistan policy the "please everybody approach," which could "hurt our troops"

Please convince us you aren't as stupid as you post, P&R(Idiot).

What an ignorant post.

Obama already DID send in more troops. He took action on a request for more troops - a request that sat on George Bush's desk for 3/4's of a year.

And the troops that McCrystal wants? There aren't any available until next spring and summer. There is no urgency. It doesn't have to be decided today, since the soldiers that would fill this requisition won't be available until about 9 months from now in any case. There is plenty of time to make this decision. If he decided today to send more troops, or if he waits until November or December to make the decision, the troops will get into Afghanistan at the same time.

So, I will ask you a question I am virtually certain you won't answer, since it will demolish your argument.

If delaying the decision until December won't affect the deployment of those troops in June of 2010, how would it be bad to have meetings until that time to explore all the options (troop numbers are not the only variable under discussion, you know) and to wait until after we know what government will be there for us to work with?

Oh boy...get off that Kool Aid. Fact is that we have been there for 8 LONG YEARS because your boys couldn't seem to get it together over there. Instead they wanted a war of "profit" and they got that in Iraq. Perhaps before we started a war of choice we should have finished the war of necessity.

The mind-reading powers of the wingnut on display.

Um, pup -- exactly WHY would a president with over three years REMAINING in his presidency be concerned about his "legacy"?

I mean, its not President Obama is sending out his VP or press secretary on talk shows to yell about how unsafe the country is . . .
