On the surface this sounds good but from what I can see, he is leaving himself a lot of room to get out of dodge. I would like to support his decision but I don't trust the weasel. I do not think that he is in this to win. It is all politics. Speaking of which, he is going to anger his leftist supporters big time if he does indeed authorize the deployment of the troops. An aside here. I wonder what percentage of men will comprise the new troops. How many will be women? On a somewhat related topic, there was a very interesting caller on Rush's show yesterday who claims that the charges against the SEALs who allegedly gave the terrorist a fat lip are related to Obama's anger at the Navy Commander who gave the OK for the sharp shooters to kill the Somali pirates. According to the caller, the administration was livid that this was how the hostage situation was resolved as they had given strict orders that no blood be shed. Interesting and disturbing if there is any truth to it. But of course we will probably never know. The caller who followed detailed how PC our military has become since the Tailhook incident. Patsy Schroeder did enormous damage to our military as a result. I have heard countless stories from vets about the negative impact of PC in the military and have been concerned about this for a long time.
