On President Obama & Afghanistan
Knowing that the President is privy to information not available to ANYONE on this site; that he doesn't go off half-cocked & blindly follow one person's recommendation because he doesn't have a grip on the ramifications or understand other perspectives; that everything he does is informed & measured; that he won't spend one more second, one more dollar or send one more troop than he absolutely has to; that he really cares about each & every military person - and their families - and knows he's accountable to them & to us; that he's probably the smartest person in the room, yet has enough self-esteem to be able to ask questions; that he listens to everyone before making up his own mind, etc., etc.
I stand behind the President and trust that he will always act in the country's best interests.
