Beeler">The President is paralyzed by Afghanistan. This administration is practiced in the art of misdirection, telling the public to look at the right, while left hand is moving. Afghanistan is not one those ploys, in fact what was billed by Obama as the good war has him backed into a tight corner. One would think that if the generals in charge believe there is a need for significantly more troops in order to secure a U.S. victory he would give them the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately Obama doesn't think in term of U.S. victory, he doesn't like dealing with decisions that might not help him politically. Escalating the war will alienate his left-wing base, which doesn't care about an America accomplishing it's goals in Afghanistan, in fact they are inclined to push for just the opposite. This is a problem because the left is Obama's financial base, and even if he does the right thing and gives these troops they support they need, it will not redeem him in conservative circles. Either way you have American troop in harms way and a president that seems all to willing to sacrifice their efforts for his own political ends. It's time to commit to victory or come home, only the President can make the call.
