Obama the Pragmatist

"Asked in an interview with The New York Times if the United States is winning in Afghanistan, Obama said "no," while adding "our troops are doing an extraordinary job in a very difficult situation."

Here I've gone and lost my source for this article.
It's so exciting to have an articulate and engaged president after eight years of anti-intellectualism.

Obama's foreign policy is definitely enlightened. The English, the Russians, and now the Americans are KIA in the Afghanistan mountains. Obama wants to find a way out before the last of the US Empire's treasure is gone. He wants out to save young soldiers' lives.

I recall Vietnam with the Japanese, French, and then Americans. We don't need anymore of it.
Had Bush gone into Afghanistan with resolve instead of going into Iraq, we might have done something worthwhile. We could have given tens of thousands of dollars to every person in Afghanistan instead of dropping it in the form of bombs and bodies on Iraq.

Obama's pragmatic, not a fool like Bush.
