Maybe that's good news. Maybe he will send more troops.
Just pray no more Americans die while he thinks about it.

What is good news about it? The guy is clueless. If a general needs something you probably should give it to them. It shouldn't take "weeks" to realize this.

I thought he was ready on day one to handle this job.

Guess not as he has proven time and time again he cannot make a good decision to save his ass.

Thanks to Obama 43 brave kids lost their lives because he failed to follow through with his campaign promises.

Maybe this will finally get him doing his damn job instead of parading around the world looking like a total fool and hating America like he has.

I thought he had all those so called experts around him????

Where are they?

The good news I guess is that he didn't say "No".

Weeks?

What has he been doing for the past several "weeks"?

Did he just realize we have a couple wars going on?

What a complete MORON!

He doesn't want the conflict over this to start until the fiance committeee comes out with a plan for healthcare reform. If he decides to increase which is likely after meeeting with NAO chief for sup[port;it is going to separate him from many in the democratic party.Its not just 40,000 troops ;its ten more years.This is probaly the decision of his presidency really as far as history goes.

Am I mistaken or was President Obama on vacation during the first several "week"s that have already passed (Martha's Vineyard)?

I might be mistaken but I thought that was true.

That's pathetic if true.
