Here we go...

Where to start... Is it me or does this Afghanistan issue seem like Somalia all over again? The "President" has decided that he can't decide on how to proceed in this war... Meanwhile, our troops are being killed, while he consider his options.

Sounds eerily similar to 1993 when the commander on the ground in Somalia was requesting additional troops and heavy artillery and was refused by Bill Clinton... that turned out well. (see Black Hawk Down)

Once again history is repeating itself... a senior military commander General Stanley A. McChrystal is asking for additional troops and the president is dragging his feet. Proving once again, he's incapable of leading.

In my opinion, and let me be clear, I don't care whether we stay in Afghanistan or leave.... but we cannot continue leaving our troops under-manned and probably out-gunned, again.

Make a decision Mr. President, give the General who knows how to lead, what he needs to win, or pull out completely. The longer you waddle, the more US lives will be wasted.
