CNN News: Reports that the second Obama surge for Afghanistan will go in to effect faster as to counter the threat from the Taliban. In other words POTUS can see the election clock, he does not want Afghanistan to become a major issue in the Mid Term Congressional Elections of next year. If Afghanistan surge does not work by November next year and the US is taking heavy casualties the left wing in the US will not go and vote for Democrats, thus the Democratic Party could lose the House. If Obama was to lose the House of Representatives his political agenda would be dead on the Hill, but it would allow Obama to move to the centre as Clinton did after the 1994 loss of the House. This could allow President Obama to win re-election in 2012. All events are political folks, even Afghanistan.
