We will know tomorrow but the preliminary leaks regarding Obama’s speech tonight say he will send less than 30k troops over 6 months and pull out before his first term ends. Just think about it, he will be reading to the Nation tonight, with West Point as a backdrop for his photo op, that his teleprompter has concluded that more troops are needed in Afghanistan. In back rooms there is supposedly talk about a pull out before 2012. This means the enemy can sit on its hands until then, and give Obama the impression he won the war. The bad guys can then regroup, retool and kick the shit out of us as we leave. Sounds like a well thought out plan to me especially in light of the fact that in a separate and completely ignored “conflict” Iraq a known terrorist gets a bloody lip during his capture and 3 or our best and brightest (SEALS) are facing court martial. The rules of engagement are “don’t engage” and the exit strategy is to say we will be out by date certain. WOW – We are screwed.
