President Barack Obama is prepared to accept some Taliban involvement in Afghanistans political future and appears inclined to send only as many more U.S. troops as needed to keep al-Qaida at bay, a senior administration official said Thursday.... WTF! Does this man not trust his generals? This is crap. I had a rare opportunity to speak in person at West Point last week with an LTC who was on the team with Gen. McCrystal regarding the troop increase, and he said that 40K was still a low estimate of what would REALLY be needed to win the war there. I sure hope that Obama listens to the general and gives him what he wants. Oh wait, that's right, Obama has spoken to Gen. McCrystal ONCE since he was appointed the head of coalition forces in Afghanistan. ONCE! This too is crap. Obama should be speaking to him at LEAST once a week to see how things are going. Way to go Mr. Nobel winner ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
