NOT! Just days after ordering a national security review of the situation, he’s sending 17,000 more troops to the potential quagmire; and no, unlike Iraq, I don’t see bribable sheiks ready for a Kandahar Awakening.
And, Obama is still not backing away from the idea that this is just a first installment.
Beyond that, as Obama babbles about Pakistan, it would take about 317,000 new troops to even begin to seal the border with Pakistan. And, given how quickly and early on he pulled the trigger on those first two Predators, I worry about how trigger-happy he might be vis-a-vis Islamabad.
