Obama to take weeks to study Afghanistan strategy 30 Sep 2009 23:57:07 GMT
WASHINGTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will take several weeks to review U.S. strategy on Afghanistan and Pakistan, the White House said on Wednesday after a meeting between top U.S. officials about the region.
"When it comes to decisions as important as keeping this country safe and putting our troops into harm's way, the president has made it clear that he will rigorously assess our progress," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said in a statement.
"That is why he held this meeting today and will take the next several weeks to review our strategy."
Weeks? really? how long has he been in office? it hasn't taken him weeks to go on leno, it hasn't taken him "weeks" to go to the olympic committee... why is it taking him "weeks" to decide what our troops should do?
you all realize while he "thinks" about it, our troops are being shot at.
You'd rather he make a rash decision without collecting evidence and consulting all of the relevant people? Once upon a time we had a president who tried that strategy. Our troops ended up in Iraq.

Link?
And again, Leno and the Olympics have nothing to do with this.
Rash would have been 20 days ago.
I disagree, i think its all related.

:doh
How many threads are you going to start on the same topic?
It'll end up the same as well, epic fail.
That is exactactly right. Bush / Cheney prematurely ejaculated a "decision" on Afghanistan and that went off to attack Iraq and that is why Obama is dealing with Afghanistan today.
How many times are you going to ignore how your God King is putting leno above the troops?
How long until you show real evidence this is the case. You are making an assumption based on incomplete information. Surely you can see the problem with that.
Regurgitating the same absurd lies and manufactured innuendo does not change the facts. Get over it, Rev. Your multiple threads on this issue constitute an epic fail on your part. Quite embarrassing.
Obama has proven that he's working on the Afghanistan issue right now, even while dealing with other important matters.
If you have any decency, if you have even the slightest smidgen of integrity or honesty, you'll drop this. Now.
i can only state it ad nauseum
once in 70 talking to generalisimo
50 tv appearances in the same time. olympics etc.
Even the dems are pissed at him over him putting these things over healthcare.
Isn't a part of the Presidents job to delegate responsibility?
I'll wait to see what the military leaders/strategists come up with before I jump to hasty conclusions.
Hasty was February.
Is the situation today the same as it was in February?
No it's worse.
So it takes new plans. A static strategy is a losing strategy.
its been known since before the election, or was obama lying about Afghanistan during the election?
Obama took action on Afghanistan when he took office. The situation continues to evolve, so the strategy needs to continue to evolve.
