Telegraph: Reports that the new US Commander in Afghanistan General David Petraeus will argue that any troop withdrawal in 2011 from Afghanistan will have to be at a slow pace. After the sacking of the last US Commander and the hiring of General Petraeus the hero of the Iraq surge the Oval is hostage in many respects to Petraeus, the hero of the Iraqi surge allowed for the US to leave Iraq by 2011, that very hero could bring Obama down in 2012 should he resign and run against Obama in 2012 on the argument that Obama has by his policy throwing Iraq to Iran and allowing the Taliban to take over Afghanistan by any troop withdrawal. Thus Obama can not afford to sack General Petraeus, if he does any policy that the General does not agree with the General can let it be known on the Hill that any deaths are the fault of Obama and his arrogance, with the economy in a mess, the real jobless rate at around 16% Obama can not take on a real War hero in 2012, thus Obama has to listen or face being a warm act for Jimmy Carer after 2012, or even worse a non person like LBJ for many years after the Presidency. Afghanistan has becomes Obama’s War and Obama has become LBJ.
