so the forces in the area set up by Bush and the generals and their plans enjoyed a further success. thats good.
all Obama has done is delay further progress by a year dithering and going cheap.
You miss all the relevant facts, points & differences when you proclaim President Obama is just doing Bush stuff slower.
Bush lied us into Iraq to help cover up his impotence about not being able to catch Bin Laden and his lust for an oil rich country on which to Nation Build on. FACT: Obama spoke out adamantly against this from the very start.
That caused Afghanistan to be put on the back burner for years and years and years. FACT: Obama has always said Afghanistan should have been our main concern & effort.
FACT: Now President Obama comes in left with an already multiply deployed tired & greatly overstretched military and a country that by a decent majority wants the troops to come home. He also sees that the old Bush course is unsustainable both from a economic and will of the American people perspective. He takes his time to receive the masses of the very best input needed to craft not only an attack but also an exit strategy.
These changes in insight & attitude are good things my friend... very important good things.
