Obama returns to D.C., Afghan decision near

President Obama spent the past weekend in Chicago with family. On his return he has some pretty key issues that need to addressed. For instance, sending more troops to Afghanistan. Mr. President's press secretary says that the administration continues to review its policy towards Afghanistan. Everyone seems to be awaiting President Obama's decision on troops in Afghanistan because of how Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that the President was very close to announcing his decision. Lt. Gen. David McKiernan is very supportive when it comes to adding fresh troops, he wants more fighting forces. But, for now we all have to wait for President Obama's decision before we get all excited.

I think that it is great the Obama's get to spend some time with their family over the week. But, I also think that talking about troops and Afghanistan is getting pretty old. Yes, it's been going on for so long and we need to get out of there the right way... But can't they just make up their minds already? Do they really need to announce to the public that the announcement on more troops or not will be coming soon? Why announce an announcement? That just makes no sense to me. They could just rationally think through the situation and make a decision. Yes, it's going to take time and money, but people want to hear what is going to happen to their family members we are in the military. I think we need to decide soon on whether or not we are going to send more of our citizen's into war. We need to help the people in Afghanistan to regain control of their country from the Taliban insurgents. We need to get one step ahead of the Taliban and take over before they take over us. President Obama just really needs to make a decision on whether or not he is going to send more of our family members into war so we can prepare ourselves for the unthinkable. I hope President Obama makes the right choice for our country.
