WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

My Comment: When McClatchy News and CBS disclosed what was President Obama's plans for Afghanistan. I immediately expressed my surprise and reservations .... and at the time I confessed that I was wrong because I had expected a completely opposite reaction/decision.

Hmmmm .... I guess I was right to begin with.

We are now witnessing Washington politics at its worse, in particularly from this White House.

These (war) conferences have been a waste of time, President Obama and his inner circle had already decided on what to do before all of these meetings started. You can put your money on the bank with this one. The troops have been left hanging for this year on what needs to be done .... they will still be left hanging in the weeks and months ahead.
