Barack Obama (during the presidential campaign) profusely promised that he would fight to win the "good" war--Afghanistan. But now with commander of US forces in the region, Gen. Stanley McChrystal-stating the that conflict is winnable, but more troops are needed: Will the president buck his cut and run party and give the general what he needs to score a victory?
My surmise would be NO!
I believe Obama will eventually withdraw from Afghanistan (long before victory can be achieved)--not to assuage the likes of Pelosi, Reid or Murtha--but simply because war is completely antithetical to his leftist ideology (particularly if America is one the winning end).
O is of the implicit belief that lofty rhetoric can sooth the savage tyrant, and that waging war against him only deepens the world's mindset that America is a bloodthirsty hegemony.
History will record the following: President Obama cared more about world opinion than winning wars of necessity.
