The War in Afghanistan is Obama’s War; as with LBJ after 1964 it become his war after President Johnson sent in the Marines to protect the airfields; Obama got his War when he sent in his first surge to Afghanistan, the second surge sealed the deal of the fate of the Obama Presidency, Obama could have take the advice of VP Biden to scale back US footprints and do more Special Forces operations and drones, but the Obama ego and it seems the Presidents scant CV when it comes to military matters helped the Military Chiefs; my dog lucky has seen more of war and that’s with cats; thus the military had their way and now we have over a hundred thousand NATO forces in Afghanistan. The President has stated the following to his Civilian and Military Officials in Afghanistan, “ Earlier this afternoon, the President held a conference call with Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and General David Petraeus. He congratulated General Petraeus on the change in command, underscored that his thoughts are with them and their teams on this holiday weekend, expressed his appreciation for their sacrifice, and reiterated the importance of our vital mission in Afghanistan. ”. In many respects General Petraeus is more powerful than Obama, the hero of Iraq has the clout to force Obama to stay in Iraq well after 2011, also Obama does not want Petraeus to be the Republican nominee for President in 2012, thus he has to keep him happy, also if the Congress goes Republican the Republicans will keep the Obama feet close to the political heat when it comes to Afghanistan, they wont allow Obama to withdraw troops based on any left wing timeline, this is why Afghanistan is Obama’s War and why he is the next LJB, and lets recall LBJ didn’t run in 1968.
