Looks like that piece of **** Obongo has decided to surrender in Afghanistan.

If the reports are true and he doesn't give the generals the troops they requested and he is handing over the parts of the country to the Taliban that enabled Bin Laden to carry out the attacks of 9/11/01 then that is paramount to surrender.

This decision will be the beginning of the end. It will not get better, only worse.

I knew the asshole didn't have the guts to fight the war. He never served in the military and he has no courage or convictions.

We need to get our troops out now before anymore die because of his weakness. He has no intention of winning the war and any future deaths will be in vain.

AP source: Obama focusing on al-Qaida, not Taliban

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is prepared to accept some Taliban involvement in Afghanistan's political future and will determine how many more U.S. troops to send to the war based only on keeping al-Qaida at bay, a senior administration official said Thursday.

The sharpened focus by Obama's team on fighting al-Qaida above all other goals, while downgrading the emphasis on the Taliban, comes in the midst of an intensely debated administration review of the increasingly unpopular war.

Aides stress that the president's decision on specific troop levels and the other elements of a revamped approach is still at least two weeks away, and they say Obama has not tipped his hand in meetings that will continue at the White House on Friday.

But the thinking emerging from the strategy formulation portion of the debate offers a clue that Obama would be unlikely to favor a large military increase of the kind being advocated by the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal. McChrystal's troop request is said to include a range of options, from adding as few as 10,000 combat troops to — the general's strong preference — as many as 40,000.
Obama's developing strategy on the Taliban will "not tolerate their return to power," the senior official said in an interview with The Associated Press. But the U.S. would fight only to keep the Taliban from retaking control of Afghanistan's central government — something it is now far from being capable of — and from giving renewed sanctuary in Afghanistan to al-Qaida, the official said.
