US Military needs to leave Afghanistan and replace them with volunteers to teach, build and develop their nation. Yes, its an outlandish idea, but I would rather serve the needs of the people with hope than provide then with targets.

I continue to be appalled by these so called "sources" of any media especially when it is matter of war policy and strategy, publicising which merely helps the Taliban and AlQaeda.
Further more it is speculative and for minions in the Pentagon to believe they can force a particular agenda thru the National security team at a meeting next Wednesday, is the media trying to continue to justify reporting a story denied overtly and publicly by The NSA head and also the Press secretary repeatedly saying no decision yet.
Frankly I would if I were Obama have the Pentagon investigated to find thes sources and then fire them for a breach of national security and Lying.
I wouls also issue warnings to all Pentagon, NSA and State, that any unauthorised leaks to the press true or false will be pusued and the culprits fired!
It is nonsense.

He has already waited so long I think this qualifies as a failed decision already... the inability to make one.

I'm glad President Bush was able to make a quick decision on the Iraq surge and not leave it for Obama. We would still be up to our ears in that war rather than on our way out.

Generals shouldn't be in politics. Fire them if they're trying to manage up. Harry Truman was right to fire Douglas MacArthur. President Obama should pick out someone to make an example of.

The president has his own priority, which is himself. Does he need protest of anarchists when getting the Nobel prize for peace in December? No, it will ruin the PR and no picture for 2012 campaign. So believe me no decision will be made before he gets the prize.
Obama first the troops last!!!!!!!!!!!!

get in or get out.

Quit telling lies Obama!!!

I have seen 4 different articles saying that you have approved the 40,000 troops for Afghanistan.

It is time to be a man Obama-–and own up to your decisions--no matter how unpopular it makes you to the loony left.

WOW!!!! Didn't CBS jump all over CNN a month or so ago about a false news story.

Pot calling the kettle Noir?

"He has not received final options for his consideration, he has not reviewed those options" So we go from a president who jumps into war to a president who can't decide what to do. I wonder how many more "it's only been 5 months, It's only been 10 months, its only been" Reminds me of the new Apple commercial. The do nothing prez from the do nothing Congress.

So poor ole week kneed liberal demorat nobama still cannot make a decision. Why is this not surprising?

Get out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama I voted for you because I thought you had the frijoles to stand up to the military industrial complex. Apparently, this is not true. When the argument is made that 'it's more complicated than that' is the biggest cop-out ever. I'm amazed that someone as bright and powerful as you and would cave to the military estimation that this is a winnable war. The surge will initially erradicate the resistance but they'll be back. It's in their blood. Quit spilling others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

The Republicans are spreading lies and false propaganda just like they helped Bush/Cheney do for 8 years that got us into this mess. Republicans are on one mission and that is a mission of total distruction while lining their pockets with blood money.

Settle down People, This war would be over if Bush/Cheney wouldn't have INVADED the NO WMD war in IRAQ!!!

If only the media would let the Obama Administration rule their own White House/ and the same goes for the Pentagon, and issues related to the same! It seems the media always has their nose into 'business" that is NOT their concern!! It is no wonder there are always at least 10 different views of one subject!! AND NONE OF THEM WILL BE TRUE!!

Truth is no matter WHAT decision the president makes on this you can bet he's going to catch heat on it one way or the other. The Republicans seem to be hell bent on war and want him to send more troops in, yet if he does this surge and the death toll there starts to rise I'm sure they are not going to stand behind him on that decision. If he decides to do what it appears the nation wants him to do and start a withdrawl then he'll be labeled soft on terror. I think the BEST thing that could come out of all of this would be for Osma Bin Laden, dead or alive. be found on Obama's watch. His poll numbers will go up and even the GOP and FoxNews will have a hard time putting a negative spin on that.

Why can't Obozo make a decision? Inexperience? Political wind? Fear of left-wing reaction? What ever the cause, grow a pair Barry and LEAD for a change!

Obama is following Bush again. He'll talk to the soldiers effected by the recent tradegy when the cameras are rolling. Bush met with them in private. Obama gave a shout out to some Indians before he made a drone statement about not jumping to conclusions.

How dare anyone rush the Great One.

What a joke, he's so stuck on himself that it must hurt when he raises an arm.

This is disgraceful. Our President has fumbled for three months while emboldening our enemies. If I was Gen. McCrystal, I would resign.

Outrage! Outrage ! Upon Outrage! ABC News has just reported Hasan has been known to multiple U.S. Agencies to have been in contact with several terror groups, hoping to plan an attack! ABC confronted President Obama with questions, such as, How could after all the past studies of Agencies and improvements put in place during the Bush administration, how did your agencies not communicate properly, how could your Administration not been sharing information and did not do more to prevent this terrorist action in Texas last week? All Obama could studder out was, "All our hearts go out to the families of those killed and wounded. We promise to make a complete investigation". After all the campaign speeches where Obama and the Democrats for 8 years condemned Bush, ridiculed Bush, and blamed Bush for 9/11! Now here Obama and his Agencies KNEW about Hasan & sat on their hands! Outrage! Outrage! Outrage!

Move them out and bring them home Obama not getting anywhere fast and solving nothing it't a loosing battle /loosing lives for no reason . Sent Chene and his daughter to the fron lines or send the old war monger water boarder to jail yesterday.

So I guess the network and news stations are jealous of Fox and the way they make up news, they decided to make up their own...

This is stupid stupid what a joke...say I got an idea. I'll go to a news station and apply for a job. Heck I can make up junk as good or not better than Fox for them.
