As American soldiers and Marines continue to die in Afghanistan, our modern day Nero is off on a 9 day junket through Asia. He arrived early this morning in Japan where he spoke to reporters alongside the Japanese PM and the global media once again fawned.
Meanwhile, it has been leaked this week that the president is not satisfied with any of the present options or proposals as tendered to him by his military and security councils concerning Afghanistan. Apparently, at least the majority of the advice that he is getting concerning Afghanistan, has indicated the necessity to increase troop levels and that doesn't sit well with the messiah.
Apparently these plans run completely counter to Obama's socialist yellow streak and his long held desire to simply pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq ASAP. I can literally see the man sitting in private and seething over the fact that he cannot simply pull the plug on Afghanistan and redirect the money to one of his pet socialist programs. Based upon his reaction to the plans submitted so far, it appears to me that Obama won't be happy with anything that doesn't provide him an iron clad promise of deadline for withdrawal from Afghanistan and an assurance that the Afghanis can hold it down after we leave..
Never mind that there may be fighting left undone that if abandoned now, will lead to the significant loss of American life both in Afghanistan and here at home. Our president wants out and he wants out now.
And the military irony? The general that Obama handpicked has told him what needs to be done, while the Retired General Eikenberry has reversed course from his previous positions and is siding with Obama. Not that his having been appointed ambassador might have colored his judgment in any fashion.
And yes, meanwhile our troops are further demoralized and further jeopardized while the Harlequin president jests about and demands compromises that completely favor his desires, while continuing to cost the lives of Americas in uniform daily.
