What action did he take? He sent troops...
Read the above quote, and take out the Leno crap.

there is nothing there that addresses what obama did.
as for leno, Sure thing, Obama 1st.
You are now claiming he did not send troops? The Leno thing is just stupid, as it takes a tiny portion of his time and has zero impact on his ability to handle Afghanistan. It's just a talking point to smear, it's not a real argument.
Weeks? really? how long has he been in office? it hasn't taken him weeks to go on leno, it hasn't taken him "weeks" to go to the olympic committee... why is it taking him "weeks" to decide what our troops should do?
you all realize while he "thinks" about it, our troops are being shot at.
So I take it that Presidents take a great deal of time to decide to do a short interview with Jay Leno or do a couple of PR stunts for the US to host the Olympics?
I completely see how the two fields are related. Am I wary of "weeks"? Surely. However, is comparison military strategy to Jay Leno or the Olympics hilariously stupid? In the words of my neighbors, "You betcha".
Yep. And thousands and thousands of people who wanted you, your mother, and your little dog dead have been niccely killed in the sand over there.You'd rather he make a rash decision without collecting evidence and consulting all of the relevant people? Once upon a time we had a president who tried that strategy. Our troops ended up in Iraq.
50 tv interviews, olympics, ncaa pics, etc etc... its not a time thing, its a priorities thing and how the troops percieve his focus.
It's note ven worth pointing out how completely retarded you are being about this any more. You have such a will to believe the worst that reality will never penetrate you pea brain. Every president has multiple pretty much daily little PR things, and every president still manages to handle making decisions. Some make good decisions, some make poor ones, but they all manage to get them made. The fact that you are taking such a stance when you do not even know the situation in the pentagon shows that it is your own self delusion, and not at all based in fact.

The President of the United States is literally expected to perform many activities in various subject matters every day. Evaluating his foreign policy stance and actions via his relations with plebeian media personalities is utterly silly to me.

It is somewhat pointless to debate this point with somebody who doesn't accept basic fundamental cornerstones of reality, but oh well. As it is, there is no argument to address, because you haven't proven anything. You need to demonstrate very precisely how the time Obama has spent on interviews contravenes other projects of interest to the United States (not just the military) which will be pretty tough for you considering most of them are concentrated into specific time frames, leaving the vast majority of the time to dedicate to executive work without interruptions. For the latter reason, you can't really do that. You also need to show why several weeks of study is abnormal and psychotic amount of time for a president to dedicate to war related matters. You can't do that either.
Doesn't really matter. The troops are only one aspect of the nation. Obama can take as much time as he wants to address the others. Several weeks consisting primarily of Afghanistan strategy study is pretty generous.

The blood of the 8 American soldiers that died this past weekend is on the hands of the anointed one and that my friends will NEVER wash off!
... as is every soldier that has died or been hurt since he read the report (I don't care when he received it, he's had it for over a month now!). His incompetence is screaming!:3oops:

A bad decision is better than no decision at all.

really? really? our troops have been shot at for how many years, and you're actually upset about weeks? how non partisan of you.So what do you really think of the emporer's new clothes? :lol:
ok so the americans who have to sit around and be shot and killed "don't really matter" while Obama fiddles while Afghanistan burns.... Gotcha. :roll:
Really? Even if it costs American lives?
