Whether Obama likes it or not, Afghanistan is HIS war now...

am sure you are right to say obama should fight the afghanistan, but one thing am thinking here may be somehow contradicting to your own opinion, simply because i want a different world where you and i can live peacefully, am of no doubt that U.S.A has all it take to ruin the opponent at their ease. however i want us to realize this that we all of one father who is our God, "parated2k" am sending out an apology unbehalf of your opponent that U.S.A should please bring the misunderstanding to an end so we can all live in a free world. i love you, i love the world. I love lotting.

I agree on this one. He asked to be commander in chief. So now that he is he needs to do the job. Make a decision and go with it. This indecision just shows why you don't put an inexperienced person in charge of something. Would you put someone with no business experience as the CEO of a company? Would you let someone be a doctor who never went to medical school? Then why put someone in charge of our military that has NO military experience and/or war stragy training? It never made sense to me. YOu would also think that sense he does not have any experience in the military or war that he would listen to his generals who do have the training and experience to know what to do. Why is he second guessing them? It is not like he knows more than they do or is in any position to second guess them.

Amen! Put up or shut up. He knows whats right but that will pissss off his cohorts. It was so much easier to sit there and knock Bush. But when he has to step up, it is such a decision.

Don't ever think you 'll invade someone's country and beat them hands down. I think america has lost the war, it's just hard for them to admit. You can only win by another hiroshima, as for sending troops, it won't help. Just admit your failure and pull out.

I don't like it because I feel it's for show. As his administration, Obama leading the charge, bashes Fox News for unfair talk-radio-like media, they're relying solely on favorable coverage from other networks that have previously and still now champion presidential policies and nearly every policy that isn't from the Republican side of the aisle. Since Obama took over, Afghanistan has become more and more deadly for our troops on the ground. But instead of the press holding the president accountable for this, which is very rare, they have latched onto Obama's "planning" and are now championing his time taken to make a decision. Some are praising him for not acting too quickly. Some are insisting that Obama is doing the right thing by waiting. And I'm positive that Obama would rather bask in this glow for a while than to risk having the media turn on him as they did Bush. And this is why it makes me so sick to my stomach. He's pandering for the press here. It's like he's trying to avoid negative press from his usual favorable minions until the smoke clears here at home. This is due to the fact that he chose to fight two wars! He waged war against EVERYONE in America not toeing the same line as his administration, and now he cannot risk being wrong in one or he loses both. While we might call it being indecisive and inexperienced, his beloved media will call it wise and the sign of a true leader that he takes week after week to either say yes or no to his general's request. Obama is the most political president we've ever had. Just bite the bullet and decide already. Seriously, how much more thinking needs to be done? If it's not enough by this point, I don't see how it will ever be.

As the say, Get busy winning or get busy losing, but don't leave the boys out there in the middle getting shot at while beurocrats decide which way they should run.

Afghanistan is more and more like vietnam.more troops mean nothing to the endless war.they are killing more and more our soldiers and we can do nothing about this.yet,the afghanistan government is loosing their people's heart.more and more people turn to qaeda's side.in a word,it's abama's vietnam war!

I am an Obama supporter, but if there's one thing that scares me, it's his inexperience. (Or what seems to me, anyways.) I personally believe that a war like this should really not be fought with brute force. We need to train more Afghan troops, for sure..I think Obama's dilemma is complete indecision. Anyway, I am running off about 3 hrs sleep in 48 hrs. I hope my post makes sense.
