Playing golf while US soldiers die, and refusing to decide to either support them or pull out while more soldiers die is... criminal. |

Obama isn't "refusing to decide," **** for brains. He's in the process of deciding. I agree this is a different process than the last POTUS used. Bush did what he was told. |

Any troop increases won't be needed until the spring, as the winter weather in Afghanistan pretty much shuts the Taliban down. Tell that to the families of the dead soldiers. Besides, what better time to hit them than when they are inactive? You want more dead soldiers and grieving families because of a rushed decision??? A decision is better than no decision. How many more will die before Obama figures out how to put himself in the best political light. |

Besides, what better time to hit them than when they are inactive? You want more dead soldiers and grieving families because of a rushed decision??? A decision is better than no decision. Correct. And, a well-thought through decision is significantly better than one that isn't. We've got plenty of recent experience with ill-conceived decisions, like not focusing on Afganistan and invading Iraq for no good reason. If only we had some non-political decisions from the Bush administration on just those issues (not to mention the countless others) that put the country first. If only.... How many more will die before Obama figures out how to put himself in the best political light. So, in your view no matter what Obama decides, it's purely going to be a political decision, thus he's unpatriotic. That's where you're headed right? -- Nom=de=Plume |
