Because you can't run a war from the White House. They should have learned that from Viet Nam war. The General's on site has to run the war if we are to win. If you don't know were we have been you can't know were we are going. Fred Nashville, N.C. The Afghanistan war is going to be a failure just like Viet Nam.

A clip showing our troops under heavy fire, a commander screaming in the sat phone requesting support, then switching the scene to a beautifully manicured golf course, President Obama, lining up a putt for a birdie on the 18th. The scenes alternating back and forth. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so bloody sad for our brave solders. Our military needs help not pensive triangulation. For shame on Obama. It seems that the blood of many of his own countrymen that he is sworn to doesn't bother his soul. Have we seen this callousness in history before? On the late night shows?

Perception is reality to Obama, so the idea of sending 10-20k troops instead will signal to his base that he isn't going to be led around by his generals. But, he couldn't give a damn that the perception of him dithering only emboldens the enemy (and results in higher US casualties). They don't vote in this country, after all (and they're too poor to use his verification-free campaign credit card system). The x-factor is the situation on the ground. We know he doesn't give a damn about winning on the battlefield - only elections. So, whatever he comes up with will be a plan to do little more than stem the US casualty rate so that he can claim what great strides have been made by the time he's up for reelection.
