I Owe It All To John D'Oh

"The President made the right decision to have a properly resourced counter-insurgency strategy. I support it. I believe that the additional 30,000 troops and the additional NATO troops are sufficient to get the job done, and I hope that Republicans and Democrats support it." |

So I guess a surge is a good idea after all. Well, at least when it's Obama doing it. Now, bear in mind that I agree with the heart of the strategy and that both parties should support it. I applaud McCain for saying so. Still, I can't help but remember Obama decrying the surge in Iraq, even after it worked. |

Announcing a troop increase in conjunction with a date certain for withdrawal is a recipe for disaster. Leadership seems to be constrained by politics within the Democrat Party. Always trying to have it both ways may get a lot of people killed. |

What do you think? He is the commander in chief of US armed forces or something? |

The 18 month timeline is only valid until the second week of November 2010. After the midterms I fully expect he will scrap it. In the meantime it placates some factions in his supporters. But you are right in that it does not show commitment to our goals. It should be interesting to see if Stratfor comments. |

It gives our enemies hope, and a direction. On the other hand, if it causes them to lay low and wait us out it may give us enough reprieve to work on the Afghan army. |

Irrelevant. Every Afghani will get to hear or read what Obama does, and in 19 months we'll know if he's good to his word. |

As Mik said, that was a direct quote from McCain, talking to Katie Couric, right after the Prez's speech. |
