Goodness gracias
I never said Obama was giving up either.
Since reading seems to be colored by preconceived notions of me
let me reiterate:
I have NEVER called for troops on the ground in this conflict.
I HAVE agreed with Obama's stated course of action thoughout.
I HAVE criticized him for caving from his stated course of action in the face of opposition, mostly from his own supporters, and have pointed out the obvious result.
I agree with his current actions. And while he's in the driver's seat, and so has better info and advisors than I, I just don't see what ground troops would accomplish even now.
If there are ambiguities in the above please let me know. If I have said otherwise quote it.
