So, this much ballyhooed meeting between the President and his general wasn’t actually to discuss the war but the generals comments on it that embarrassed the President? Then the general still hasn’t had the chance to discuss the situation in Afghanistan with the President. Swell, so much for “fighting the real war.”
Right.
Photo op and agitprop.
That is what it looks like. The picture I just posted looks like Obama is lecturing the General but will not have eye contact with him as he is looking down.
I cannot believe some of these pictures they release from the WH to the media.
The meeting was just a photo op to paper over the fact that Obama had met only once with his field general in the war “we must win.” Axelrod was behind this meeting. It is all about PR and image.
