BBC News: Reports that France has announced that it will start a phased withdrawal from Afghanistan, following the latest US withdrawal statement from President Obama. Well folks, what do all the leaders of the US, France and Italy have in common, they are in trouble at home, POTUS is pandering to his liberal base with the ten thousand troops withdrawal this year, this was against the advice of the US military, of course Obama is up for re-election next year, it seems Obama is more afraid of his base than the US military, while President Sarkozy is as unpopular as a tax inspector in France, also faces re-election, while the Italian PM is up to his neck in criminal scandal. Thus is also looking to get some good press. The problem is folks this blog does not need advice from POTUS when it comes to Afghanistan, when Obama was just thinking about running for President this blog was against placing thousands of UK troops in Afghanistan, but that was then, this is NOW, the US Military under General Petraeus has the Taliban/Al Qaeda on the run, and what does the President do, would rather face defeat that face up to his base, as someone said of King James 1 of England , the wisest fool in the Christian World. Thus the PR victory will go to the Taliban/Al Qaeda, they can wait Obama out, it can be expected that there will be more deaths due to these withdrawals, where are the Reagan’s and Thatcher’s of today.
