With the recent developments in Afghanistan and the fact that there will be no runoff elections, Karzai retains the Presidency of his country - as if this was ever in doubt.
President Obama remains unflappable in his desire to take his time on deciding on more troops, however. His Press Secretary Gibbs announced that the canceled election would have no effect on Obama's decision and that it would be announced "in the coming weeks."
Aside from this just being disasterous to troop morale and public support of the war - not to mention the prosecution of the war and potential impact on the outcome, the President seems more concerned with political issues in that country.
He vowed to help the Afghan government clean up corruption. Don't we have need of that here? Shouldn't charity begin at home?

That's what my mother always said... Charity begins at home. I think it's time we got out of there and let the troops come home.
Georgina,
Thanks. I think we should win first, then we can come home. :)

Steve...
Yes, there are some pressing issues here that need addressed ASAP!
Richard,
Agreed. How can you be Commander-in-Chief and not command? :)
Steve
He can't clean up the political corruption here without firing most of his cabinet, and then resigning himself.
Jon,
Sometimes hard decisions have to be made. :)
Steve
I agree our Chicago style politics need to stop!

Nice thought, but how? :)
