WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

We’d like to change his 4 year lease to the White House to a month to month (without any prior notice for eviction).

This is so “Jimmy Carter”. Analyze the snot out of all the options while doing nothing and reading the polls to see what not to do next.

Which makes Obama jump for joy. See exhibit A, his press conference after the Ft. Hood terrorist attack as proof. Every time a soldier does, he does a shout out. I am scared as to what will happen to this country, we have a commander in chief high fiving the terrorists. We have bulls eyes on our backs, each and every one of us. He refuses to make a decision about Afghanistan but wants to shove socialized medicine down our throats. That he came up with quickly, but soldiers lives, nah, he is gonna take his sweet ass time

I hope nobody here at FR even thought that $hit bird would send the requested troops. The Muslim in Chief is more concerned with the safety of his Muzzie Bro’ Taliban than our troops.

[what's up]

This article purports to have something new to say, but there's very little that's new.

Basically the First Slime is still dithering.

He retired from the Army this year to become one of the few generals in American history to switch directly from soldier to diplomat, and he himself is a recent, former commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. And, not a big Karzai fan.

[Sarah Barracuda]

every time a soldier dies I meant to say

[EGPWS]

We got fed up with that nasty "black and white" thinking and now we are seeing the idiocy of the "all we know politically is gray".

We're catching on as a society.

[johncocktoasten]

this guy is a better procrastinator than i am. next he will announce that his decision is being delayed further by a self-filibuster, as he cannot secure the vote needed to close off the debate in his head.

Advisors: The choice is fight or die sir.

Obama: I don’t like those come up with something
better, more intellectual.
