He Sounds More Like George Bush Every Day

"The White House said Obama won't base his decisions on the mood on Capitol Hill or eroding public support for the war. ''The president is going to make a decision — popular or unpopular — based on what he thinks is in the best interests of the country,'' press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters.

"Afghanistan exit not on the table; White House still conferring on troop shift" by Anne Gearan, Associated Press | October 6, 2009

WASHINGTON - President Obama won’t walk away from the flagging war in Afghanistan, the White House declared yesterday as Obama faced tough decisions - and intense administration debate - over choices that could help define his presidency in his first year as commander in chief.

He's MADE IT! He's a PRO-WAR PRESIDENT just like ALL the REST!!!!!!!

The fierce Taliban attack that killed eight American soldiers over the weekend added to the pressure. The assault overwhelmed a remote US outpost where American forces have been stretched thin in battling insurgents, underscoring an appeal from Obama’s top Afghanistan commander for as many as 40,000 additional forces - and at the same time reminding the nation of the costs of war.

Actually, it is going to be a HELL of a lot more than THAT!

The idea of pulling out isn’t on the table as a way to deal with a war nearing its ninth year, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said....

Then F*** HIM!

Divided on Afghanistan, Congress will take up a massive defense spending bill this week even before the president settles on a direction for the war.

That was fast.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates said yesterday that Obama needs elbow room to make strategy decisions about the war and appealed for calm as the internal Obama White House debate goes increasingly public....

At issue is whether US forces should continue to focus on fighting the Taliban and securing the Afghan population, or shift to more narrowly targeting Al Qaeda terrorists believed to be hiding in Pakistan with unmanned spy drones and covert operations. Gates and some other advisers appear to favor a middle path.

Which means we GET BOTH: MORE TROOPS to the region and a picking up of pace against Pakistan!

Officials across the Obama administration have acknowledged that the Taliban is far stronger now than in recent years, as underscored by the US deaths in Nuristan province. The fighting Saturday brought the biggest loss of US life in a single Afghan battle in more than a year. It also raised questions about why US troops remained in the remote outposts after McChrystal said he planned to close down isolated strongholds....

Translation: They DIED for NOTHING, America!!!
