Obama and Afghanistan
The New York Times: Reports on the latest Obama Strategy for Afghanistan, the President has stated to Congress as reported by NYT, that " he would not substantially reduce American forces in Afghanistan or shift the mission to just hunting terrorists there,.." Thus NATO and Afghanistan have to wait for Hamlet of the Oval to make his mind up, the fear must be that the President will try a middle course, thirty thousand troops and more drone attacks on Pakistan, as my recent post on Pakistan the NYT found that the US presence in Pakistan is causing problems for the secular government of Pakistan. Thus if the President is not going to reduce troops and change to the Biden path what in the hell is President Obama going to to about Afghanistan, as he stated in March the fate of Pakistan is linked to Afghanistan, thus if he does not totally back McChrystal the War in Afghanistan will become more his War, by the way when did Obama go to West Point, if he decides another path and more soldiers are killed the deaths will have been caused by a President who has allowed his own arrogance and the fear of the Democratic Left wing to define ins Foreign Policy.
