The New York Times: Reports that the Obama Administration will ask its NATO Allies for an additional ten thousand troops to reach the troop request of General McChrystal, the NYT writes the following on the request, " Those countries appear willing to provide fewer than half that number, American and allied officials said Wednesday. " If President Obama wont back his own selected General with the forty thousand troops that General McChrystal requested then the UK should get out of Afghanistan, the blood of our soldiers should not be used as cover for the Obama Administration. If it has take Obama months to reach this half baked idea then his judgement is not sound, NATO has always been symbolic minus the nuclear side of its defence. At the end of the day the US has to fight big wars with its own troops with minor support from Europe and the UK. In other words Obama does not want to win Afghanistan, this is another Vietnam. It is sad to see Obama becoming another LBJ. The mistake the elite media makes is to assume that intelligence means you can fight your way out of paper bag, it does not, the Kennedy's had the best and the brightest and what did the USA get, the Vietnam War, from Ike to Ford. Thus by taking this route Obama will make himself the next LBJ. The one silver lining is that after Obama loses in 2012 we should have Republican rule for years.
