Have we not heard this now for WEEKS?
Hey, hey BHO how many troops have to go!
Chanted to hey hey LBJ - how many kids did you kill today.
Why the rush?
Could be waiting until after the November elections. It is all politics to him.
There was a president name johnson who decided to run a war out of the Oval Office....history repeats itself...and remember the outcome.....
Analysis Paralysis — too much thinking, not enough common sense. Wasn’t he set to make a decision LAST Friday? He has to have a few more committee meetings and study their recommendations. Until he has so darned many recommendations that his head is swimming.
I can imagine this headline (magically) translated back to July, 1944 —
“Roosevelt Within Weeks of Decision to Reinforce Normandy Invasion”
We are sooooooooooooooooo skrood....
Within WEEKS????
Whoa, Barack. What’s the rush?
“When seconds count, Obama’s decision is just weeks away.”
We are just breathless...
Better get ready for the term “WEEKS” with this Administration.
Already it’s been Weeks and more Weeks that we have waited and are still waiting for the swine flu vaccinations.
Be prepared to wait in line to see a doctor for Weeks if the Universal Health Care, or what ever the name of the moment is, passes.
Can anyone tell me if he is fiddling? And, if Rome is burning?
Obama Within Weeks of Afghan War Decision
Weeks? Weeks? Real men are dying ..............
What was that thing about the phone ringing in the White House at 3 AM?
The War Decision.. Er, the War Ended Last Year, Sir.
HaHaHaHaHa! ROTFL! Not exactly a decisive leader, is he!
It’s been weeks now that we’ve been told 0bama is within weeks of a decision. So, WTH, zer0? Decide already, dumbass.
We can add “ditherer” to the very long list of negatives for the TOTUS-reader.
This request, by his hand-picked general McChrystal who has been working on Afghanistan since March, has been sitting at the President's In-File since AUGUST by many accounts. If we are still "within weeks of making a decision", then it will be probably 3 months or more of 'intense concentration'.
Hey Obama, how many rounds of golf are you going to be playing before you decide to go CHICKEN? How many soldiers are going to die while you waffle? Would that those caskets he saluted in Dover could open up and those MEN could remind him that he is their LEADER. This is the results of no executive experience and a legalistic mindset being put into the White House. It is not a place for 'Affirmative Action'!!!
What the h$ll are "direct" hours????
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2375100/posts
But, there are 52 weeks in a year.
weeks?! LOL!
of course, you would think he wasn’t fulfilling his obligations if you thought he was looking out for AMERICAN interests.
it’s fairly simple:
—
A. sending more troops == more dead AQ
B. no reinforcements == more dead US soldiers
by not making a decision, he has made his decision... and is telegraphing it to the middle east
Whoa, don’t get too excited. We are within weeks of Obama’s deciding on a plan for how he will decide.
I’m sure he’s giving a lot of thought to this issue between campaign stops, photo ops, and handing out Halloween candy at the White Crib.
YO-BAMA! Make up your freakin’ mind already!
I wonder how many more “direct hours” he’ll spend pondering this momentous decision... probably less than he spends golfing.
.....now that the planning for the Halloween party is finished they will get right on the Afghanistan thing...
Weeks? He;s know sine August what the Gernerals wanted everyday that he delys more of our troops die! They should already be on their way but since he dithers they most likely won’t be there until after the sprin thaw which might be too late.Ozero the failed strikes again!
OPPPSSS sprin = spring
August 19, 2011. (CBSNews) “President Obama is within weeks of making a decision on sending additional troops to Afghanistan, Chief White House Advisor David Axelrod said on “Face the Nation” Sunday.
And, in a related story, Taliban forces report that U.S military survivors presently being detained in Afghanistan are being treated “according to Muslim custom” and that reports of forcible amputations of the prisoners’ right hands are “Western slanders.” Secretary of State Hilary Clinton says she hopes that negotiations for the release of all NATO forces can begin in the near term, now that former President Karzai’s execution has eliminated a source of contention between the U.S. and the Taliban Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Rerfect.
Or perfect, I mean.
Take your time, Bozo. It's only American soldiers dying there almost every day...
Wow! What a man!
The beauty of this headline is that they can continue to use it for the next 6 or 8 months.
The rumor a few days ago was that he had decided on 20,000 more troops (half of what McChrystal asked for, after being pressured to reduce his original request...one third of what McChrystal really wanted). Steve Hayes on FNC thought that sending only 20,000 more would guarantee a failure.
