Obama, Health Care and Afghanistan

The New York Times: Reports how there could be delay in sending more troops out to Afghanistan as to keep President Obama's base on the reservation for the fright for health care reform. The NYT writes the following, " A delay on deciding whether to increase American troop levels would also have the political advantage of pushing down the road a split within (the) party " This does recall 1964 when LBJ running in the 1964 Presidential Election tried to keep Vietnam off the front pages, but events in Vietnam forced themselves on to the front pages. Thus can President Obama hope that Afghanistan does not become a major issue over the next few weeks, the Taliban/Terrorists are not enchanted by Obama as is the New York Times. At the end of the day President Obama has two choices, get out of Afghanistan or go in all the way, the middle cause of just keep going with the present policy will lead to a Taliban victory in the end. Thus lets look at the options, if Obama leaves Afghanistan to the Taliban, this places a nuclear armed Pakistan under the threat of the Taliban of Pakistan. Thus the option of cutting and running is not an option, it never was, thus Obama will have to send in more troops. The Democratic Party was enchanted by LBJ at the start, the Great Society all that money for their pet projects, then there was Vietnam and that call by those protesting the War, " How many Kids have you killed today LBJ. " Just replace LBJ with BHO. Thus it will not be health that defines the Obama Presidency, Great Society did not define the Presidency of LBJ it was Vietnam, thus the same with Afghanistan for Obama. The sad part is that Obama shows that he does not get that, if burns the Republicans on health and rams it through Congress with the nuclear option of only 51 votes in the Senate, the Republicans can flush him down the toilet when it comes Afghanistan, if they go with the majority of Democrats who want out of Afghanistan they can make Obama the next Jimmy Carter with aspects of Neville Chamberlain.
