Almost a full year of being asleep at the wheel and Barack Van Winkle suddenly awakens from his nap:
President summons congressional leaders on Afghanistan strategy
By Mike Soraghan, Molly Hooper and Sam Youngman
The meeting, with leaders of both parties from the House and Senate, comes as Obama weighs a very public campaign by the top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, for 40,000 more American troops in that country.
President Barack Obama has called congressional leaders to the White House on Tuesday to discuss the worsening situation in Afghanistan, according to congressional sources.
Your opinions have been unnecessary to this point but now that it’s going to hell I’d like to ask for your input on how we can share the blame as I have been ignoring this major foreign policy issue for an entire year hoping that it would go away.
Tuesday’s bipartisan, bicameral leadership briefing on Afghanistan will mark the first time in six months that House Republican leaders have been invited to the White House to discuss official business.
First time in six months he’s asked for an opinion outside of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Coward. Own it. It’s yours now. You void your warranty if you don’t check in for maintenance with the adults every once in a while.
“The president is confident with where we are in the process,” Gibbs said.
And if you buy that, I’ve got a bridge in Fallujah that I’d love you to sell you.
He really should just go unilateral on this one. Listen to his nutty followers and undermine the Karzai government while they lay in wait at home with their digital cameras on charge for all the caskets to follow for making the mistake of ever listening to them.
They loved the Tet Offensive so much they want Oliver Stone to direct the sequel.

Afghanistan is Obama’s war now! GWB handed the keys to the White House over to the Chosen One along with a victory in Iraq. Obama campaigned as the leader competent enough to fight and win the real war in Afghanistan. Now is is considering letting terrorists re-overrun that basket case of a country.
The Obama ineptitude machine is working overtime on this issue as well. The President’s foolishness ( http://www.conservativeblog.thewebinfocenter.com/conservative-blog/transparently-foolish ) is also revealed by the way He is now restricting the flow of information. After all, when your policies are failures, you really don’t want the voters to know.
