Barack Obama has now played more golf than George W. Bush did in two terms as president.
http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/obama-soldiers.JPG
But he’s still dithering (http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/10/cheney-obamas-dithering-waffling-endangers-the-troops-video/) on whether or not to support the US troops in Afghanistan.




The Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125900966061461145.html#mod=todays_us_nonsub_pag e_one)reported:
Barack Obama has now played 25 rounds of golf, a sport he picked up about a decade ago when he was an Illinois state senator. That’s more golf than former President George W. Bush played in two terms, according to CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential trivia.
It’s been over 3 months since the top general in Afghanistan requested more troops.
Obama has still not made his decision on whether to support the US soldiers and marines in Afghanistan.



Late last night Obama and the White House Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag (?) sat down (http://www.politico.com/blogs/joshgerstein/1109/Obama_set_to_decide_AfPak_costa_concern.html) with other officials to debate the Afghanistan/Pakistan policiy going forward. The administration is suddenly concerned about the cost of the war. This is something new for a White House that just tripled the US national deficit (http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2009/10/us-budget-deficit-triples-under-obama-democrats-media-silent-update-dems-plan-2nd-stimulus/)last year and is planning on adding to that with a nationalized health care plan.

WASHINGTON – Signaling he's decided on new troop levels for the Afghanistan war, President Barack Obama said Tuesday he intends to "finish the job" on his watch and destroy terrorist networks in the region.

The president said he would reveal his decision on how many additional soldiers to deploy to Afghanistan after Thanksgiving. The White House is aiming for an announcement by Obama either Tuesday or Wednesday in a national address. Congressional hearings will quickly follow.

Military officials and others have been expecting Obama to settle on a middle-ground option that would deploy an eventual 32,000 to 35,000 U.S. forces to the 8-year-old conflict. That rough figure has stood as the most likely option since before Obama's war council meeting earlier this month when he tasked military planners with rearranging the timing and makeup of some of the deployments. That led to Monday night's final gathering.

With the war worsening on Obama's watch, U.S. combat deaths climbing and public support dropping, the president seemed aware he has a lot to explain to the public.

"I feel very confident that when the American people hear a clear rationale for what we're doing there and how we intend to achieve our goals, that they will be supportive," he said, speaking at a White House news conference with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

"It is my intention to finish the job," he said of the war in Afghanistan that has been going on since shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

Obama held his 10th and final war council meeting Monday night. In response to a question about his upcoming announcement, he sketched out the areas — but not the specifics — of what he will talk about after Thanksgiving.

He suggested he intends to explain in some detail not only troop deployments and the other civilian and diplomatic elements of an overhauled strategy, but also how the U.S. might ultimately leave Afghanistan. When he ordered advisers to rethink the options presented to him, it was mainly to clarify when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government and under what conditions.

"It's going to be very important to recognize that the Afghan people ultimately are going to have to provide for their own security, and so we'll be discussing that process whereby Afghan security forces are properly trained and equipped to do the job," Obama said.

Obama must not only sell his plan to the public, but to foreign allies whose additional resources the White House wants in Afghanistan. The president bluntly said Tuesday he would talk in his announcement about "the obligations of our international partners in this process."

The timing of his address is timed in part to come before a NATO foreign ministers meeting, taking place in Brussels, Belgium, at the end of next week.

Obama also must pitch his plan to Capitol Hill, where lawmakers will be asked to fund the effort.

Among those likely to take part in congressional hearings are Obama's top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, as well as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry. All four were among about 20 officials and advisers participating in the president's final deliberations Monday night — one of the biggest groups gathered for these sessions in some time.

"It is in our strategic interests, in our national security interest to make sure that al-Qaida and its extremist allies cannot operate effectively in those areas," Obama said of the Afghan war. "We are going to dismantle and degrade their capabilities and ultimately dismantle and destroy their networks."

Reflecting the waning popular support for continued — or escalated — war, Democrats are coming to dislike the conflict in greater numbers. Democratic allies of the president, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin, have become more outspoken on the war in recent days.

The force infusion expected by the military would represent most but not all the troops requested by McChrystal, for a retailored war plan that blends elements of the commander's counterterror strategy with tactics more closely associated with the CIA's unacknowledged war to hunt down terrorists across the border in Pakistan.

McChrystal presented options ranging from about 10,000 to about 80,000 forces, and told Obama he preferred an addition of about 40,000 atop the record 68,000 in the country now, officials have said.

Obama has already ordered a significant expansion of 21,000 troops since taking office.

The additional troops would be concentrated in the south and east of Afghanistan, the areas where the U.S. now has most of its forces, military officials said. The new troops that already went this year were directed to help relieve Marines stretched to the limit by far-flung postings in Helmand province and that would continue, while the U.S. effort would expand somewhat in Kandahar.

The increase would include at least three Army brigades and a single, larger Marine Corps contingent, officials said.

All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision is not final.

U.S. war planners would be forgoing the option of increasing U.S. fighting power in the north, a once-quiet quadrant where insurgents have grown in strength and number in the past year. But McChrystal's recommendation never called for a quick infusion there.

In the absence of large additions of ground forces, dealing with the north would probably require relying more heavily on air power, two military officials said. Any such additional air strikes would be more successful if, as U.S. officials hope, Pakistan turns up the heat on Taliban militants on their side of the border.

As originally envisioned by McChrystal, the additional U.S. troops would begin flowing in late January or after, on a deployment calendar that would be slower and more complex than that used to build up the Iraq "surge" in 2007. McChrystal's schedule for full deployment has it taking nearly two years, military officials said.

The relatively slow rollout is largely driven by logistics. But it also could give the White House some leverage over Afghan President Hamid Karzai. U.S. officials note that where and how fast troops are deployed are a means to encourage fresh and more serious efforts at cooperation and clean government in Afghanistan.

My apologies.. he spent 977 total days vacationing at Camp David or in Texas. Not half.. a little over 1/4th of his time as president. The point still stands though. You bitch about Obama golfing... but don't seem to have a problem with Dubya spending close to a THOUSAND days kicking back at the ranch.

Not only that, but frankie's boys had almost eight freaking years to get things right and they just made one fuck up after another starting with not funding the wars and instead giving tax cuts to the same people that rammed it up our collective ass. I'll take a golf game over that any day.

[Binky]

Earth to dumb ass! they said today that he will make the annoucement AFTER thanksgiving that he is sending another 30-40 thousand more troops!


When's he going to begin pulling them out? Didn't he say in his campaigning that it would be 18 months before he began doing it. Well, he has eight months to go....Do ya think he's going to start yankin' our equipment and soldiers out then? Something tells me we're gettin' hood winked. If he was working on an exit stragedy, then why send in more troops? There's the stench of stinky poo in the air yet again.....and it's coming straight out of OBs mouth......

[Moby]

Frank, do you really not know that Bush as on vacation 5 weeks of the 7 before 9/11?

Do you not know that he spent nearly 500 days on vacation and nearly 500 additional days in TX?

(AP Photo/Lawrence Jackson)George W. Bush is today making his final visit to Camp David as president.

He will likely miss the place: According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, today's trip marks Mr. Bush's 149th visit to the presidential retreat. The planned three-day stay, during which the president is being joined by family and former and current aides, will bring his total time spent at Camp David to all or part of 487 days.

Yes, that's 487 days. And Camp David is not even where the president has spent the most time when not at the White House: Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there.
For some reason you didn't mind him being on vacation. Is this your elitism showing?

I think you are mistaken about Obama's position on Afghanistan. If I remember correctly, he thought that Afghanistan was central to the fight but Iraq was a mistake.

[MintJulep]

Come on, to be fair, this is meaningless in the scheme of things.

I'm much more concerned with things Obama is doing WHEN HE IS ACTUALLY ON THE JOB than his golf playing habits. It was stupid when Bush was criticized for it, and it's silly as well now.

[Boogie man]

Obama supporters are becoming more quiet every day. The glow has faded. Reality has burst a lot of lefty bubbles.

This is what the Wall Street Journal publishes....? The National Inquirer has competition now. :lmao2:

And take note jackass...you on the right have nothing but blind faith, those on the left are awake and realize when someone is fucking up no matter what fuckin letter they have behind their name...might want to give that a try asshole!!!

[Smurf-Herder]

I don't understand why it will take two years to completely deploy them. Didn't McChrystal say we needed them ASAP?

IMO, he's dragging this out as much as possible, to gain public support for his eventual pullout, because so many will die without proper reinforcements in a timely manner.

I want my kid and his wife out of the Army.

[Boogie man]

And take note jackass...you on the right have nothing but blind faith, those on the left are awake and realize when someone is fucking up no matter what fuckin letter they have behind their name...might want to give that a try asshole!!!

Oh, blow it out your ass. Yeah, you on the left are awake.....LOL. Bush never fucked the American people like this congress and this child president. The majority of the American people are not behind this legislation for national health care. Go ahead. Pass it. Then kiss your majority goodbye and probably your president.

[Moby]

Bush never fucked the American people
How quickly you either forget or ignore the facts. Most Americans didn't vote for Bush. Most that voted for him thought he was fiscally conservative.

Don't you remember?
