Superlib - "You guys are just too obsessed with Republicans."

It's the Republican's obsession with failure that's the main problem.

They just do failure so spectacularly well, it's unreal.

Yabits - "Why spend billions when you can spend trillions?"

Exactly, exactly.

Conservatives' attitude to funding this war is like a couple who plan a massive wedding without every once thinking how they will pay for it.

The GOP/conservative 'Money grows on trees' mantra seems to have been part of…

Sarge - "Maybe Obama and the Democrats will stop the bailouts..."

The bailouts, you mean the ones that were started when the president you supported, Bush, gave away $680 billion with no checks or balances?

That bailout? Oh, I get it, you still don't undertand much about fiscal responsibility, whioh…

Sarge, you have no way of knowing whether another 9/11-style attack will happen. It is in no way certain.

What IS certain is the ongoing drain of money being spent on this war, not to mention Iraq.

You are basing your argument on something that may or may not happen…

Sarge - "Then, by all means, Obama should not send them, in fact he should order the troops already there to leave pronto so that the Taliban can take over there again."

The real intention behind Sarge's sarcasm shows that he too has no idea about responsible funding.

Yabits, Karl Eikenberry, President Obama's ambassador to Afghanistan and former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, is against sending more troops primarily because he believes doing so will make the Afghan government more - not less - dependant on U.S. forces, which is the exact opposite of what should be…

Better to act later using a good plan than early with a bad one.

That's how I see it.

The primary reason President Obama is facing this decision now is because the previous president and his team did the latter.

Noliving - "And that exit strategy is what? I have yet to hear of this exit strategy other than this isn't an open ended commitment."

That's precisely what the president is considering.

What would you rather have? More disastrous decisions based on stunning lacks of judgement, poor planning and shoddy…

This is great. Compared to the last president, who rushed into war using plans that were not a lot more than flash PowerPoint presentations with next to zero strategies for post-invasion rebuilding, President Obama's evaluations and considerations are most welcome.

It never fails to amaze me just how many conservatives…
