Appeaser In Chief Obama Rejects Options On Afghanistan, Wants A Way Out

After three months of dithering on the request for more troops from Gen. McChrystal, whom he handpicked to lead the troops in Afghanistan, Barack Hussein Obama is request new options (NY Slimes).

President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

In strongly worded classified cables to Washington, Eikenberry said he had misgivings about sending in new troops while there are still so many questions about the leadership of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Obama is still close to announcing his revamped war strategy -- most likely shortly after he returns from a trip to Asia that ends on Nov. 19.

But the president raised questions at a war council meeting Wednesday that could alter the dynamic of both how many additional troops are sent to Afghanistan and what the timeline would be for their presence in the war zone, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss Obama's thinking.

Military officials said Obama has asked for a rewrite before and resisted what one official called a one-way highway toward war commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal's recommendations for more troops. The sense that he was being rushed and railroaded has stiffened Obama's resolve to seek information and options beyond military planning, officials said, though a substantial troop increase is still likely.

In so many words, Obama wants us to lose the war.

What's the strategy behind this? Does "That One" think (but won't dare say it publicly) pulling out of Afghanistan will prevent any more Major Hasans from committing acts of terror?

No, we'll only make the same mistake made 20 years ago, when a vacuum left after the Soviet Union withdrew allowed the Taliban to take power, which let al-Queda set up shop there to plan and train for the attacks of September 11, 2001.

So, if Obama has his way and listens to these metrosexuals in the State Department, he'll be handing Afghanistan back over to the terrorists.

And don't think they'll look at America under Obama with goodwill. They'll still hate us, something that liberal navel-gazers like Obama and his lapdog media don't get.
