I fervently hope not.

But if the worse happens, it is instructive to refect on the fact that he wouldn't be the first liberal President to be drawn into an unwinnable war by way of demonstrating his toughness.

Without a clear mission and exit strategy, expanding troop strength in Central Asia is fraught with peril.

Obama is wanting to expand it...simply stating the truth.

It is looking messy for him already,having ordered the killing of innocent civilians.
