Tonight, after months of conferences with top advisors, President Obama has settled on a new strategy for Afghanistan. CBS News correspondent David Martin reports that the president will send a lot more troops and plans to keep a large force there, long term.The president still has more meetings scheduled on Afghanistan, but informed sources tell CBS News he intends to give Gen. Stanley McChrystal most, if not all, the additional troops he is asking for.
Didn’t see that coming, didya? No, me either.
Seriously, do you think people actually believed he might not? I mean, people other than rabid right-wing nuts?
"He's got to take concrete steps to eliminate corruption," Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said last week. "That means you have to rid yourself of those who are corrupt. You have to actually arrest and prosecute them."
Like that’s gonna happen. He blessed the corrupt election already.
The president is not expected to announce his decision until after he returns from China the week before Thanksgiving.
Because?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
