“There is something truly disgusting about the way he cannot refrain from attacking Bush when he’s being defensive about himself. It’s beyond disgraceful. Here he won an election a year ago. He became the Commander in Chief a few months later. He announced his own strategy, not the Bush strategy, six months ago and it wasn’t off-handed. It was a major address with the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State standing with him… What’s happening today is not because of the so-called drift in the Bush years, it’s because of the drift in his year.”And the drift continues as Obama waits out next Tuesday's elections before announcing his plans. Whichever way he goes he creates problems for Democrat candidates if he announces before Tuesday. If he okays additional troops the lefties get irate and may refuse to vote for his anointed candidates. If he refuses the troops voters on the right will be motivated to punish Democrats for their unwillingness to try and win the war.
It's all politics now.

This is a no win situation for Ubumma, and the best part is, it is one of his own making. That is why he is stalling. If he commits troops, the anti-war left (his base) will go crazy. And if he doesn't, his "necessary war" comments prove to be another statement with an expiration date, and worse, his decision not to commit will be contrasted with his previous "necessary war" comments and he will be charged with being soft on national security. Either way, he loses.
Someone pass the popcorn.
