I don’t know, can he say no to General McChrystal? If he needs to say no, I hope he does, but if he says yes, I hope he does what he needs to for the continued protection of our country and the USA.
Thank you for your comment Rob.
I personally think Obama wants to say no .... and is looking for ways to say no .... but the situation in Afghanistan is dire, and the political costs to say no is what is stopping him from refusing this troop request.
