What is Obama thinking?

[dead0man]

Obama can't win here.  If he listens to the Pentagon and sends a lot of men, his voters have yet another reason to feel let down by him.  If he listens to his voters and ends the war EVERYBODY is going to be pissed at him.  If he plays politics and does what he is doing now, he takes a little sh**t from both sides, but nothing more than he can handle....and the war continues to drag on.

What do I think?  Afghanistan is probably unwinable, but we can't "cut and run" either.  The West as a whole is in a lose/lose here.  The biggest losers are the families of the men who never come home and the men that come home all kinds of funked up in the head (and their friends/family).  We'll treat them marginally better than we treated returning Vietnam Vets, but we won't treat them like they deserve to be treated.  They all volunteered to be "baby killers" after all.
