Obama's New PR Strategy for Afghanistan



Politics Daily: Reports on the Obama's Administration charm offensive with President Karzai of Afghanistan. After the early cold relationship with President Karzai of Afghanistan the Obama Administration has gotten the fact that Karzai is the only game in town in Kabul, in other words President Obama has his own Diem of South Vietnam, he cant get rid of Karzai as the Kennedy Administration got rid of Diem of South of Vietnam, no infamous August nod for a coup when it comes to Karzai. The question is can Karzai be trusted or more to the point can US policy win in Afghanistan, the Obama Surge will take years to work, thus deadline for next year will become more symbolic, Obama can not afford to lose Iraq and Afghanistan with the Mid Term Congressional election in the US on the horizon, thus one can postulate that the hot war in Afghanistan will go on for years and the the US presence in Iraq will last well beyond the 2011 cut off date. The Liberal left in the US will not be happy, thus still keeping my prediction that Obama will either not run or will lose by 49 states aka Walter Mondale.
