His version of voting 'present.'
I'm watching FOX & Friends rights now. Glenn Beck is right "Fight to win or bring them home." My new tag line.
“FoxNews was reporting that Obama still wanted 6-8 weeks before making a decision.”
Zero wants that much time to continue enjoying lobster and Kobe beef with the heartburn his answer to the General will cause.

The VA and NJ gubernatorial elections are in 6 weeks. Coincidence?
“Presidentin’ is hard. Obama seems to want to vote present on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan. “
I think “presidentin’” is hard. I would find it difficult to decide what to do in Afghanistan. More “nation building” doesn’t seem a very good answer.
But my basic problem is this. When Bush was president, he was advised regularly on what to do to win the war by our military leaders, same as Hussein is now being advised.
So for the last eight years, Bush was either following the advice of the military, or he was not. If Bush was following the advice of the military, and after eight years, this is the best the military could do (i.e., tell us that the war is on the verge of being lost), then Hussein would be right to be skeptical of any further military advice on how to win the war.
If Bush was not following military advice for the past eight years, then he was doing what he said he would never do: ignore the lessons of Vietnam and have civilians substitute their poor judgment on how to win the war for the military’s. He would be guilty of leading us to the brink of defeat after eight years of fighting, with no clear way out.
Eisenhower once said that he would feel sorry for any president who did not have the knowledge of the military that he had, knowing what to believe from his advisors, and what to discard. Both Bush and Hussein are notably short in that regard. Bush had eight years to figure things out in Afghanistan and never did. Maybe if we all cross our fingers and chant, maybe by some miracle Hussein will figure out who to listen to. It seems unlikely, but one thing is clear: after eight years of failure, it’s going to take a miracle to pull this one out.
