i have a hard time believing that a president who goes against what his general in charge asked for troop wise is somehow more serious than the previous president about afganistan. obama has no military background at all, but he's supposed to think he knows better than a west point grad with years of experience about what's needed in a war?

Must be why he and all his generals and advisers completely (notoriously slowly) reviewed American Afghan policy for three months before agreeing and committing 30,000 American lives over there.

then there's the supposed expiration date for the war as well. it's hilarious. obama too busy trying to keep everyone content-he will end with making no one content. the libs wanted us out, the pentagon wanted it fought right, so he took the middle ground. what a way to fight a 'war'.

He's not fighting a "war" in Afghanistan. That's where his policy differs from Bush.
Agree, the "go both ways" on the "we'll start to withdraw on this date" was silly.
