'Today alone, I’ve learned ...'

Obama has one hell of a decision on his hands in Afghanistan. Either way, it’s a short-term lose-lose situation for him. I’d prefer he ignore the advice of his non-military vice president (we’ve had enough of vice presidential advice this decade) and listen to the generals. This is bite-the-bullet time – not unlike the months just prior to the surge in Iraq.
