Politics over Country

No more troops for Afghanistan? But I thought Obama was going to send troops to the "real war"? Nope - won't look good to the liberals back home. Sorry, Marines...

Now it appears that we have reached another Obama expiration date...

Now suppose you’re the president, Jones told them, and the requests come into the White House for yet more force. How do you think Obama might look at this? Jones asked, casting his eyes around the colonels. How do you think he might feel?

Jones let the question hang in the air-conditioned, fluorescent-lighted room. Nicholson and the colonels said nothing.

Well, Jones went on, after all those additional troops, 17,000 plus 4,000 more, if there were new requests for force now, the president would quite likely have “a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment.”
