Obama, send more troops to Afghanistan, God forbid he actually does the right thing for a change. He is denying this report because he doesn’t want to piss off the Muslims, ya know, the only people he gives a damn about.

[Cheerio]

Hussein must have received a call from a very mad SOROS, and his anti-war supporters that put him into the WH.

“Obama has...not yet received reports from his advisers...”

In which mosque do these “advisers” dwell?

Ah, the era of a president who makes Carter seem smart.....

[cripplecreek]

Well we don’t want to upset any radical muslim soldiers we may have lurking among the troops.

Trial Balloon Alert!

[clintonh8r]

You’d think the state-owned media could get together and get their stories straight.

[COBOL2Java]

I guess the trial balloon went over like a lead you-know-what...

CNN has more now, with the White House accusing the Pentagon of trying to manipulate Obama:

"People at the Pentagon are trying to force a certain outcome," one of the senior administration officials told CNN.

Both senior administration officials insisted Obama has not made any decision on troop levels in Afghanistan, noting the President has another meeting with his national security team on Wednesday to receive a final set of recommendations from the Pentagon brass. The senior officials said the president could not possibly make a decision on troop levels before even receiving the Pentagon's final recommendations.

Lead balloon ping.

What's the man-child waiting for, a nudge-nudge wink wink from Ayers?

[prairiebreeze]

Obama is as conflicted as Hassan, he just can’t admit it.

[Candor7]

This is the decision that will always be , “being made.”

Obama wants a war of attrition in Afghanistan, and now Obama is dabbling in military strategy and regards Afghanistan as his own personal “grand experiment.”

I hope Obama soon goes to Kabul to personally supervise his
community organizing experiment.

[SunkenCiv]

MSNBC and Bloomberg are reporting that the Obama administration is denying reports by CBS News and the AP that Obama has decided to send nearly 40,000 reinforcements to Afghanistan.

“White House shoots down...”
I can just see M. Antoinette standing out on the lawn with her RPG launcher.
Can’t you?

There must be many, many people in the pentagon who have had the “ditherer in chief” up to here.

[Yossarian]

(...) and he would then need time to review them

Well, of course! I mean, only 3.3 months to evaluate a critical request from your chief military officer prosecuting the war? Really now, what's the rush?!?!

/S

[earlJam]

There’s dithering.

Then there’s dithering!

[A message]

0bama is a failure as a leader.

All his present votes as a state senator were a clear indication to all of us he is not capable of making decisions.

FAILURE.
