Politico: Reports on the Obama world tour of the Sunday TV shows; minus Fox News; and the subject of Afghanistan. The President from the various interviews seems to be sending the signal that there will be no more troops for Afghanistan. In other words after selling out Poland and the Czech Republic, President Obama is now going to sell out Afghanistan and the US military. It has been reported that the US military will ask for tens of thousand more troops as to fight the Taliban/Al Qaeda, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has in essence stated that Afghanistan is going down the toilet, a new strategy and troops are needed to give the US a chance in Afghanistan. It seems that the Democratic rebellion to a troops surge has made its way to the Oval Office, if President Obama does not approve the troop surge the UK should withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, why should our Armed Forces die if Obama has not have the political will to take some heat from his liberal base. One can hope that his caution is based on the political need to keep his liberal base on side while he fights for his health care reform, but if this is another sell out then UK PM Gordon Brown should inform President Obama we are out of Afghanistan. Lets hope the US voter shows his/her disapproval in the Democratic way, lets vote out the Democrats in the Congress in 2010 and vote Obama out in 2012 to be a warm act for that other hopeless President, Jimmy Carter, on the speech circuit.
