Time for Decisiveness on Afghanistan

Obama needs to get behind his chosen general and put the spectacle of indecisiveness behind him. Otherwise, in the coming months, the Democrats may be seen as having lost a war. And if that happens, not even the Nobel Peace Prize will rescue his reputation. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200910u/obama-afghanistan

The president has to get control of the debate ragging whether to send more troops to Afghanistan or face the withering political fallout of his indecisiveness. The president is letting the media and political pundits dictate the strategy in Afghanistan, he needs to take the debate back or be seen as high jacked by the situation in Afghanistan.
