Whoops II

clipped from www.qando.net So let’s remember President Obama’s words at NAS Jacksonville when he told those gathered there: And while I will never hesitate to use force to protect the American people or our vital interests, I also promise you this-and this is very important as we consider our next steps in Afghanistan: I will never rush the solemn decision of sending you into harm’s way.  I won’t risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary.  And if it is necessary, we will back you up.  Because you deserve the strategy, the clear mission, the defined goals and the equipment and support you need to get the job done.  That’s the promise I make to you. Gen. McChrystal, based on the commander’s guidance issued by the president in his March ‘09 strategy for Afghanistan, has done his review and submitted his plan to accomplish the mission outlined in that strategy. Now the commander wants to change the strategy. Is it any wonder that many doubt Obama’s commitment to success in Afghanistan, military or otherwise?
