The Washington Post<\/a> reports this morning that the Obama Administration completed it’s review of the material that the Administration has assembled to aid in what he hopes we perceive as a decision-making process;\n<\/p>\n

What was intended to be two or three weeks of intensive White House meetings has stretched on for almost a month. Obama and his national security advisers have sorted through the military and civilian aspects of the war, building toward a decision that many on the outside have urged be made sooner rather than later. Last week, the president concluded the five planned review sessions, roughly 15 hours in all, with top advisers in the Situation Room.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A month to conduct five sessions – 15 hours in total? Out of the 360 waking hours of the last month, they spent 15 poring over solutions to Afghanistan – 4.17% of their days. I’ve spent that much time thinking about what I’d have for lunch in the last month.<\/p>\n

And, oh, the marathon 15 hours of strategy sessions ended last week and there’s still no decision. <\/p>\n

But don’t worry, the Taliban and al Qaeda forces will be heading to their mountain hideouts for the winter soon and we can procrastinate for a few more months.<\/p>\n

He no longer appears thoughtful about the process – Obama is a populist poll reader who is afraid to lead the nation. The problem is that Americans are dying while he dawdles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
