A Remote and Indecisive Commander in Chief

U.S. commander in Afghanistan talked with Obama only once

Obama can't downsize to success in Afghanistan: The president appears to be dragging his feet on more troops for the struggle, but that's what an effective counterinsurgency strategy requires

Mr. President, this should be your number one priority. To keep America safe. And support our troops in harm's way to protect us.

When we lost Vietnam because LBJ didn't listen to his military commanders, the defeat haunted us for generations, and tore this country apart.

But we didn't have Vietnamese suicide bombers coming to this country to blow us up.

And when we left Afghanistan unfinished the last time, we got 9/11.

More. Add foolish to the list of Obama attributes:
Iran tested its longest-range missiles Monday and warned they can reach any place that threatens the country, including Israel, parts of Europe and U.S. military bases in the Mideast.
And it doesn't need to top them with as yet still developing nukes.It can use conventional warheads. What does our President Barack Obama do? Reward them with talks.
