\u201cIf he gives them the extra troops they\u2019re asking for, he loses politically,\u201d Hersh said. \u201cAnd if he doesn\u2019t give them the troops, he also loses politically.\u201d<\/p>\n
The journalist criticized the president for \u201cletting the military do that,\u201d and suggested the only way out was for Obama to stand up to them. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s either going to let the Pentagon run him or he has to run the Pentagon,\u201d Hersh said. If he doesn\u2019t, \u201cthis stuff is going to be the ruin of his presidency.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Naturally Hersh solves Obama\u2019s problem for him. It is a brilliant strategy as usual.<\/p>\n
The only way for the U.S. to extricate itself from the conflict, Hersh said, is to negotiate with the Taliban. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the only way out,\u201d he said. \u201cI know that there\u2019s a lot of discussion in the White House about this now. But Obama is going to have to take charge, and there\u2019s no evidence he\u2019s going to do that.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Okay, for those of you keeping score, it\u2019s the Pentagon\u2019s fault that Obama\u2019s rhetoric has written checks that he can\u2019t politically cash. But why?<\/p>\n
Because they are RAAAAAAACISTS!<\/p>\n
\u201cThey think he\u2019s weak and the wrong color. Yes, there\u2019s racism in the Pentagon. We may not like to think that, but it\u2019s true and we all know it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
