Obama Administration SPLIT on Afghanistan

The New York Times: Reports on a split in the Obama Administration over Afghanistan policy, the NYT writes on the contesting forces for the Presidents ear, " ( Obama ) has discovered that the military is not monolithic in support of the plan....some of the civilian advisers he respects most have deep reservations. " This is Vietnam all over again, the question what path does Obama take, does he reverse his Just War to a War he can throw away, the West Wing is split, the VP Biden wants to reduce troops and use drones to attack Al Qaeda in Pakistan, he has a pre - 9/11 mindset, in other words throw Afghanistan to the dogs, and the deaths of NATO troops pointless, on the other hand the US military believe that they have learned from Iraq and can win in Afghanistan. As mentioned in previous post Obama linked the future of Pakistan to Afghanistan in March in his new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, the only real change is the fact that old Vietnam hands are having flashbacks to Vietnam and are fighting that War again. Lets hope President Obama gets the fact that if he sells out Afghanistan, this will be the third country he has sold out, lets not forget Poland, Czech Republic, if your in Iran what would take from this decision, yes that Obama is weak, he is another Jimmy Carter or worse Neville Chamberlain thus the green light to go nuclear. Lets hope Obama does not listen to the BS of VP Biden.
