AFGHANISTAN OR THE OLYMPICS
HE’S SO CONFUSED! October 1, Glenn Beck referred to Rush Limbaugh’s remark: I hope he fails because we need the money. Even with a flight to Copenhagen in 2 planes, jet fuel, green house emissions, publicity, and other associated costs, the failure of holding the Olympic Games in Chicago saved the taxpayers a costly burden. No doubt, you and I were going to foot the bill. That news died “like a candle in the wind”. I wonder how General Stanley McChrystal felt, sitting on Airforce One in a meeting prior to Obama’s flight to Copenhagen? Was his request for 40,000 troups of secondary importance to the world wide attention that would be gained if attaining the olympics in Chicago? McChrystal has had 3 short meetings with Obama since he, McChrystal, was called as Coalition Commander in Afghanistan. Until 10 days ago he had not been given time by the president to discuss his strategy. Casualties increase as delays drag on. Rahm Emmanuel stated before the Asssociated Press last week that, Bush is to blame for handing the administration the mess in Afghanistan. Are “their” excuses uncreative or just plain tiresome!! Dick Cheney found no humor in the remark claiming that a “stategy plan” was given to the incoming president during a transition meeting. Further, that the Obama team had requested that it be kept quiet. The plan closely resembles the plan now being considered, according to Cheney. It seems that we have a president that can’t make a decision. He’s caught in the middle and damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. In the meantime, soldiers die. McChrystal is waiting for an answer from his commanderin- chief, an answer that was to have been fulfilled months ago. INDECISION COSTS LIVES IN AFGHANISTAN The American public deserves the benefit of hearing from the top U.S. military commander on the ground in Afghanistan. This is especially true when the debate in Washington over the war has become particularly muddled and confused and statements from President Obama have, again, proven contradictory. Americans want a decision- ”Provide the resources for our military men and women to win or bring them home”! Recently, President Obama rightly told a gathering of the Veterans of Foreign Wars that the war in Afghanistan was “fundamental to the defense of the American people.” Now we read that he is considering scaling back in Afghanistan and shifting the strategy from a focus on counter-insurgency to counterterrorism. Obama, implementing political strategy to appear decisive during his campaign, claimed that he would send more troops. Mr. Obama is ‘weenieing’ out. Gen. McChrystal, who was tasked by the president to assess the situation and provide his advice has to be frustrated, to say the least. As casualties rise, Kerry and Obama mix politics with rhetoric to front indecision while we watch our soldiers die.
