CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER SYNDICATED COLUMNIST Report: The president Barack Obama is having difficulties and he appears to be undecided.
I think it is to some extent remarkable for the president in the centre of a war after he has been the commander in chief for over eight months to confess he doesn’t have a strategy, so he doesn’t want to execute the forces until he has a strategy. Well, he needs a plan or while our troops are out in the countryside. And if the reports concerning what McChrystal is asking for are true, that actually is going to be a giant leap.
This is a condition of all in or not in at all. And I think it’s the correct kind of decision, as McChrystal and, of course, General Petraeus who is the conceiver and the man who carry out the surge in Iraq have intelligence that you either has to do it correct or you don’t try it at all.
