The New York Times: Reports on the endless meetings on Afghanistan, now it seems that the important decision on Afghanistan will have to wait while President Obama is in Asia, the NYT writes the following, " The decision on Afghanistan won’t come, aides said, until well after the president returns to American soil. " Thus while President Obama gets good PR the troops in the hell hole that is Afghanistan are in limbo, will the advice of their Commander, General McChrystal be the advice that Obama's takes or will he follow the advice of his idiotic Vice - President, VP Biden. If your a soldier in Afghanistan and you are seeing your brothers being blown up by IEDs or shoot at by the Taliban what are you going to think of a President who dithers, will he give you air cover when you need it, or will he take a poll. As stated yesterday Obama is no Kennedy or Reagan, a President sometimes has to take the tough decisions, Obama wants an out of Afghanistan, there is no clean out, that's the point, its an illusion to think that the history of Afghanistan will somehow change just for Obama. Thus if Obama does not send the troops as requested by General McChrystal then the UK should get out of Afghanistan, from the 19th to the 21th Century the UK has spilled to much blood in Afghanistan, if Obama thinks he knows best then leave it, Obama will find history does not move just to suit him, its will be hard lesson for this President to learn, the problem is that the West will have to go through this process with Obama.
