*This appeared on another board that i go to and shows how others view what is the gutless wonder we have in the WH. He said this was the war we should have been fighting all along, that this is the war we need to win and will win...that he had a plan and that he would put it in place asap once he was elected. He put his own General in place, now doesn't want to take his advise....i guess he lied when he had a plan, wanted to win and that we would win.....
So here is a overview of the article below lifted from the peopleover at Freepers who are going ballistic with this news tonight:

So here is a overview of the article below lifted from the peopleover at Freepers who are going ballistic with this news tonight:
The Washington Post reports tonight that essentially Obama has surrendered A'stan to the Taliban in THIS news report tonight. Obama seeks Afghanistan data to determine U.S. troop levels
Summary of the article below shamelessly lifted from the folks at Freepers who are going ballistic with this news tonight:
Obama Concludes U.S. Can't Beat Taliban; May Wait Until Late November for Afghan Decision
The Washington Post reports tonight that Barack Obama and top administration officials have concluded the Taliban cannot be beaten and that they are looking for ways to cede parts of Afghanistan to the Taliban without those regions becoming safe havens for al Qaeda.
The article also reports that Obama may wait until after he returns from a 10 day visit to Asia that begins November 11 to decide his policy for Afghanistan. * so this gutless wonder is playing politics and is going to wait another month while our troops are being killed....
The Post article is largely about Obama's request made this week, two months after he received Gen. Stanley McChrystal's request for tens of thousands more troops to fulfill Obama's counter-insuregency strategy announced in March, for a province-by-province review of Afghanistan. Apparently this has not been done before in the administration's laborious review process.
Obama officials say they will not allow the Taliban "to threaten the Kabul government or provide sanctuary for al-Qaeda."
The Post describes Obama's defeatist attitude about the invincibility of the Taliban:
In reviewing McChrystal's bracing assessment of the war, the president and his senior advisers have concluded that the Taliban cannot be eliminated as a military and political force, regardless of how many more troops are deployed.
