Obama Requests More Options for Troop Levels The Washington post reported two officials as saying late Friday Obama asked the Pentagon's top generals to provide him with more options for troop levels in Afghanistan.
President Barack Obama grappled Friday with the costs and consequences of a long-term commitment to Afghanistan, but reached no decisions about troop levels, a top aide said, as military advisers briefed the president on an armed services already taxed by challenges around the globe.
The president reviewed his options with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and made clear he wants at least one more meeting with them and with his broader national security team before deciding on a revamped war strategy for the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, said a senior administration official.
The Washington post reported two officials as saying late Friday Obama asked the Pentagon's top generals to provide him with more options for troop levels.
He reportedly is expected to receive several options from them next week.

“He is dithering because there is no good solution which accommodates both his Marxism and his narcissism.”
...with a dash of OJT lunaticism.

Jihadists will blow up Congress
and most of the rest of Washington D.C.
and save us all.
do i need a “/sarc” tag? really?
General James Mattoon Scott: Call your office.
I bounce back and forth on the idea of Obama being an actual Muslim. His Marxism and traditional leftist hate of freedom are enough for me. However as I see it, self deception is a main support for both Marxism and Islam (especially radical Islam) And once the mind accepts untruth it can literally accept any formulation ‘necessary’ to the end at hand.
This effect, by the way, is the great danger of PC.
They are not mutually exclusive in this case.
hussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssein the snake is a traitor. That says it all.
LLS
obama - D.I.C.
Ditherer In Chief
“you can’t vote present on this one”
I get the feeling he will be sending smaller than requested forces into the area to deliberatly place them in harm’s way so that in three years he can have his “civilian” army in place and he can remain king forever and not worry about the men and women who have pledged an oath to this country getting in the way.
“You must now bring us - ANOTHER SHRUBBERY!”...(oh, please)
He’s a rock star. Rock stars have a difficult time with reality.
The point is, he is not thinking.
By the way, how did Obama do on the golf course yesterday? Is that new putter working for him?
Joe Bidens observations;

On Aug. 1, 2007, when Obama unveiled his counterterrorism agenda, the Biden camp fired off a snarky email congratulating him for his “Johnny-come-lately position” on Afghanistan, noting that during two Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afghanistan and other subjects, Obama didn’t ask questions about the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Afghanistan.
Yep, Greatest Military in all of history, and Obama is Punked by the Taliban
Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love How Democrats Lost the War in Vietnam
Maybe Obama’s slowness is cultural, he’s not from the USA you know.
So that would be Friday, October 30, 2009. What was he thinking about all the time he was in the Senate, during the presidential election, since November 4, 2008 and since entering office in January of this year 9 months ago?
Did his advisors and staff not include just one person thinking about how to handle Afghanistan? Maybe it just wasn't important enough.
They could send Mayor Daley to run Afghanistan; look what he's done for Chicago.
Hamlet Obama.
Don’t forget, half the people in the U.S. are below average intelligence.
Can you explain LBJ?
