If the Afghan government is too corrupt to work with, President Obama could well justify a decision to reduce or narrow?or not expand?the US war effort there.
White House Signals Afghan Exit Strategy?
What will be President Obama's decision regarding Afghanistan?
Its the most important issue right now.
Unfortunately, the timing is terrible with the U.S. government obviously very entrenched into the healhcare debate.
I don't care how you view the governments role in healthcare reform - this is problematic.
Healthcare Reform has taken much mental resources from our government and, regardless of party, there is not much to spare.
Can the executive branch rationally & thoroughly think this one through? Again, healthcare has required much effort and the Afghan War is a quagmire. Action needs to be taken.
What will that action be?
Myself:
I would like to see Obama acknowledge the fact that this war is unwinnable. Once acknowledged follow through with the logical course of action - withdrawal.
I believe Obama will provide a lesser amount than needed, let the war continue its slide for a while, then withdrawal stating the war is unwinnable.
