Considering and reconsidering strategies is not unusual for presidents, but this being done in public is creating command problems for Barack Obama, says Tony Blankley, the Washington Times columnist.
Tony Blankley also believes that the danger is that Obama’s policy in Afghanistan might fall between the cracks and appear to neither call upon enough troops to try to really dominate the countryside and support the people, nor get them out fast enough so the US doesn’t lose a lot of soldiers unnecessarily.

“US withdrawal from Afghanistan won’t cause more chaos”The pullout of US troops from Afghanistan won’t worsen the deterioration of the situation in the war-torn country, believes Malou Innocent from the Washington-based Cato Institute. |
I agree with the columnist, the U.S. is definitely right on track with the U.S.S.R. experience in Afghanistan.......ultimately resulting with the Afghans once again defeating a mighty empire. The U.S.S.R. collapsed just two years after withdrawing from Afghanistan; I wonder what will be the fate of the U.S. after its withdrawal?
