This man who dithered for days about four Somali pirates in a lifeboat has dithered for months over a very clear-cut operational decision. That’s right, – this doesn’t even rise to the level of strategy. Our strategy should be pretty clear – crush al Qaeda. Eliminate the Taliban if necessary so that Afghanistan does not revert to the 18th Century again. You won’t see that Tuesday night. Instead you’ll see a grandiose exercise in narcissism. Stagecraft is mandatory so he’ll broadcast from our Military Academy at West Point, likely using a color-coordinated selection of cadets as a backdrop.This is the clear difference between progressives and conservatives. At least Bill Clinton was honest when he wrote (as a youth) he “loathed” the military. Obama may not loathe them, but he’ll use them and those overseas waiting for him to make up his mind.
