He got his nuts in a Salad Shooter with this one
Because President Obama was eager to buy the Afghan pig in a poke when he took office, not realizing that everything George W left behind was intended to make a Democrat look bad.
With the military and Republicans publicly pressuring him to send more troops to Afghanistan soon and his own administration now deeply divided about how to proceed there, the eight-year war against al Qaida and the Taliban has become an increasingly urgent policy and political dilemma for President Barack Obama.I happen to think pulling out of Afghanistan and Iraq would make make Obama look pretty damn smart on national security but I don't write headlines for the pusillanimous press.
He can escalate an unpopular and open-ended war and risk a backlash from his liberal base or refuse his commanders and risk being blamed for a military loss that could tar him and his party as weak on national security.

This morning the request is off the table until the assessment is done.
Every bit of this is orchestrated. I say they will ask and get what they want and if that doesn't happen that will damn near be a first and that will be a good thing.
