LA Times: An interesting opinion piece in the Liberal LA Times on Obama and Afghanistan, the article states the following on Obama review of Afghanistan, " In Barack Obama, we have a president who asks the right questions but hesitates to pull the trigger. " The real question that President Obama should ask himself, cant take the blame should he ignore the advice of General McChrystal and goes for his own military policy for Afghanistan. At the end of the day President Obama will have two stark choices, he either follows the request of General McChrystal for about forty thousand troops or he does it HIS WAY. The problem with HIS Way is that if it goes wrong, he cant blame anyone else, the President who has shown a very thin skin when it comes to critical comments would be blamed by all from the military on down if he gets it wrong. Obama has missed a point that was stated on Fox News, the Taliban / Al Qaeda also have a vote, if they see Obama go for his own military policy they can attack, thus when the body bags come home and the families and the press blame Obama for not following the advice of the military what will this thin skinned President do, he wont have anyone else to blame, can the arrogance of Obama take that risk, does he want to, by how own arrogance become LBJ. Interesting days ahead folks for Obama and Afghanistan.
