B-Daddy has a great post up about what's going on in Afghanistan. Others have suggested that Obama is dithering, but I'd suggest that the difference between dithering and making a decision is purely academic. To date, President Obama has said, "No" to General McChrystal's request for additional troops. Whether or not he does so explicitly is irrelevant. Either the troops show up or they don't. How it happens is irrelevant.

ReplyDeleteThe Times story is interesting, since it is based on either 1) a dozen or more separate leaks from pretty much every member of Obama's security team and others, or 2) a comprehensive leak from someone in the White House who, in effect, wanted to plant a story in the newspaper.
