Most (not all) bookeristas are unhappy with U.S. President Barack Obama, who is taking his time to decide whether or not to send more troops into Afghanistan. I've been telling y'all, ain't nothing getting decided before that Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in early December...
Clifton B.: "More Dithering: Obama Seeks Province By Province Analysis Of Afghanistan"
The conservative blogger takes issue with U.S. President Barack Obama's request that his senior officials do a province-by-province analysis of Afghanistan to determine which regions are being managed effectively by local leaders and which require international help, which will guide his decision on whether and how many additional U.S. troops to send to the country: "Quite frankly this is crazy. Obama assigned [General Stanley] McChrystal to handle this region, now he is second guessing the guy all over the place. I don’t see how officials in Washington who never fought a war could possibly know better than the general who is actually on the ground. To make matters worse, counting on local provinces to do their own policing sounds like a sure fire [sic] way to completely lose control of the situation. I could understand Obama’s plan better if the US already had full control of the situation, but we don’t. So giving up control here and there seems like the best way to fracture our over all effort and makes it a whole lot easier for Al Q[a]eda to surge further by picking off one province at a time. Basically Obama is doing everything he can to avoid sending more troops, a move that is sure to anger his base further at a time he needs their support to get his health care agenda through. The whole thing is just a shame."
Sandra Rose: "OBAMA FAIL: Obama Wakes Early For Photo Op"
Asserts the conservative blogger in Atlanta metro, Ga.: "Barack Obama woke up early this morning to welcome home the bodies of 18 fallen U.S. soldiers who were killed fighting the war in Afghanistan. The photo shows Obama standing on a tarmac just before dawn and saluting as servicemen carry their fallen comrades off a transport plane. More soldiers are dying as Obama continues to drag his feet on making a decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. One high ranking military official quit this week in disgust. This from Kenny Soloman:
The commander-in-chief of the armed forces of The United States of America has welcomed home 18 of those under his command who have fallen. For that act, reading nothing into it, I say thank you, Sir.
However, I firmly believe the very same commander-in-chief of the armed forces of The United States of America is purposely working towards the defeat of the armed forces of The United States of America and thus the nation and her people.
It is also thoroughly abhorrent to me that the current commander-in-chief of the armed forces of The United States of America is attempting to project an understanding of the honor and gravity involved in what is taking place before him.
The Mudville Gazette noted that 'only one of the families allowed the president to use the occasion for his photo-op.' And Hermie added that George Bush never used such a solemn occasion for a photo op in his 8 years in office."
