WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has invited a bipartisan group of congressional leaders to the White House on Tuesday to confer about the eroding war in Afghanistan.
The meeting comes at a pivotal time as the war is about to roll into its ninth year. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the administration would brief leaders from both parties and key committee chairmen.
The debate over whether to send as many as 40,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan is a major element of the strategy overhaul that senior administration policy advisers will consider this week as they gather for at least two top-level meetings on the evolving direction in the war.

Barry can't make a decision. Compromise and committe are all he knows. He never had to be decisive as an "organizer" and it shows.

Tries to suck Republicans in on health care, tries to suck Republicans in on Afghanistan. That way he can blame them if anything goes wrong.

Congress already gave their opinion by funding the war. That is all that is required of them at this point.
Obama is not a leader, and troops are needlessly dying because of it.

In other words, he doesn't have a clue...not even the slightest clue; he's called a meeting to find out what to do about Afghanistan.
What a girlie man.

This is proof positive that Zer0 is not leading.
He is looking at everything thru the political lens.
God help us if we have a war with this bozo as Commander in Chief.

POtuS has invited a bipartisan group of congressional leaders to the White House on Tuesday to confer about the eroding war in Afghanistan. They probably understand the war better than the generals...
