Really. I keenly remember a great number of conservative giving Bush the benefit of the doubt about being privy to things we're not.
Seriously American, when slying trying to point out hypocracy its best to look in the mirror first.
No, I don't think he's decisive at all. And I think its great to point that out.
Let me be a bit more clear. If someone went:
"Look, its ridiculous he's waiting weeks to make a decision on this. The general is on the ground, he knows whats going on, and he requested troops. He needs to deal with this soon. He's got a history of being indecisive on important issues and this is NOT a situation where that can happen. Its as if he's afraid to take the WRONG action, but in this case taking delayed action IS the wrong action. Yes there may be other things he is or needs to be doing, but this is number one".
You're complaining about his indecision, you're complaining about him not listening to the general, you're complaining about his history of not taking action. You're going after him for not making this the number one priority. All the while, you're not focusing on, harping on, and pushing the notion that people keep claiming is hurting troop morale...stating that the olympics or leno specifically are higher priorities to him than dying troops in afghanistan. It also gets your point across without taking the troops, shoving your hand up their ass, and utilizing them as if they're prop puppets in a partisan attack job play you're doing.
My issue is not with the base argument of any of this that people are making. Even if I disagree with some of it, I don't have an issue with that. I have an issue with people using the troops as props to make their point seem more important. I have issue with people saying that this perception is hurting troop morale, and then immedietely focusing their arguments in a way that pushes that perception.
