A tyical Obozocluster. His hand selected General (McChrystal)and hand selected Ambassador are now in total disaggreement. Still a deer in headlights weighing his alternatives. OBama analysis to paralysis! Great example of Leadership huh? I guess it's easier for Barry and Big Mickey to fly to the Orient and eat sushi for the next 9 days! This guy is a joke and and an embarrasment overall

Who you gonna listen to and idiot who never has had any military experience like OBAMA or the Generals on the ground. GET REAT AMERICA IT'S TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE. START IN 2010. VOTE ALL INCUMBERENTS OUT AND DON'T REPLACE THEM WITH PARTY MEMBERS.

This guy knows the score, has no self-interest like these Generals who are pushing for more troops – are they on the front lines – no – but they have no problem sending your sons, daughters, husbands, wifes, mothers and fathers to shed their blood in a land of ingrates and corruption. Stop the Bush Wars once and for all.

The UN did not authorize George Bush to install a pupper gov't there (Karzai was an oil industry analyst on the CIA payroll) nor to occupy the country for eight years....but he did both. Vast numbers of civilians there have been killed and as a result of Bush's blunders they hate us. Bring our troops home now.

"Eikenberry sent private cables to Obama last week"

The messages were PRIVATE, how did they get all over the place in the media?

Was there a purposeful leak to justify the president's delay? Just asking.

ANother Obummer lap dog....

Wow! Talk about undercutting the Commander in the Field! I wonder how long General McChrystal will leave his troops exposed without the support they need while Obama dithers and works with others in his Administration, like the good Ambassador, to cut him the legs out from under him and the troops????

President:
A job that I wouldn't want, particularly in THIS kind of situation.
POLAR points of view by "experts" who may have agenda driven perspectives. YIKES!

Finally, a sane voice speaks about this useless, pointless, pathetic war. Had begun to think that every person in the military and the Government had gone bonkers. Get our troops out of there before any more of them are sacrificed for NOTHING.

I guess Obama is sending kudos to him in thanks of giving him the next excuse to not make a decision.

Wait a minute, I thought McChrystal was Obama's man in Afghanistan. I guess with two men in Afghanistan, he can always throw one "under the bus" to get the point of view he wants.

Eikenberry's probably right. That's why Americans including media
talking heads should stop pretending to be armchair Generals and trying to tell President Obama what to do. Especially Republicans who
seem to be bent on him following some ill gotten advise so they can
bask in him making the wrong decisions, as if he should trust them.

President Obama should only take advise from those who are
qualified to advise him, and fellow civillians, IT AIN't US.

Here is someone the President should listen to. The other General asking for the increase only sees the military side of the issue.

What is needed is a sound exit strategy and I believe that is what we will get once President Obama makes up his mind.

Another yes man. Now Obama is going to be really confused.
