This is so over the top ridiculous. It is like saying, "I am just about ready to decide I am ready to start deciding on what to decide"

Man, at this point I just miss "the decider".

Zer0 is lazy. His only concern seems to be attending the next party or love Zer0 event. He is chronically late to keep appointments and meetings which require the dufus-in-chief to work.

He just needed to wait until the vote on the Nobel Peace Prize was over, then let a decent interval pass before he handed down any decision.

Oh, gee. I am glad they took their time and analyzed the situation. Good thing there was nothing pressing going on over there.

Like our men getting killed.

What a dumb ass.

‘The boy is right. Everyone was told that he was a lackey in the Senate; and they voted for him anyway; and that he had no experience in anything; and they voted for him anyway; and he had questionable radical associates and here they are in Washington.

Like a kid always late to class. The generals will ask “Where have you been, Barry?”

Remember that “Who-do-you-want-getting-the-call-at-3:00-o’clock-in-the-morning?” campaign ad last year?

Between the Somali pirate incident earlier this year and this agonizingly sloooooooow decision making on Afghanistan, I think we are getting our answer on Obama now. (How many more American servicemen and women will die while Barry builds the drama and/or frets over offending his liberal Democrat support base?)

I was thankful that it was George Bush, not Al Gore, on 9/11.

I was thankful that it was George Bush, not John Francois (Kerry), making the critical decisions on Iraq.

The only thing I’ll be thankful for with Barack Hussein Obama is when he is gone...hopefully in 2012.

Now let’s work on getting the Congress back in 2010.

I wonder which union will actually be the one making the decision?

Obama making a decision is such a monumental event that it deserves it's own headline.

We're doomed, aren't we?

Such BS.

Wasn’t the strategy approved when 21K troops went this year.

IMO, he’s sat on the Gen. McChrystal’s request for more troops ALL summer long, say since Memorial Day or so.

Then they consistently badmouth Karzai, even last year in campaign mode when Biden threw a tantrum. And continued sticking knives into him all summer.

The US Congress is criticising others for corruption? Oh, be still, my beating heart, such chutzpah!

And now, via meetings, reviews and general delaying tactics, the entire effort is demoralizing the US military, not to mention the Afghanis who threw in their lot with us, never mind the women and children and ethnic minorities fearful of the Taliban’s Restoriation.

And I doubt we retreat via Pakistan, either. That’s my pipe dream.
