Obama chooses not to decide - Fox News "Obama won't take any current war options": "President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday."

I'm sure the boys in Oslo are so proud.

Flashback – Here's Jennifer Rubin, earlier today: "After delaying and equivocating, the president must, soon we are promised yet again, announce the policy, quiet the critics, regain the confidence of our allies and the Afghanistan government, and impress on the enemy that we really do mean business."

Extra – Hot Air: "Obama votes 'present'"

More – AFP reports that the U.S. ambassador in Kabul is essentially overriding the opinion of General McChrystal on Afghanistan.

And this - AoSHQ: "Smartest guy in the room."

Obama is vacillating because he is stuck between pandering to the anti-war leftists who want the US out and the legacy of being defeated by the terrorists. Which would only embolden al Qaeda. If he is such a quick learner.. why is everything taking so long?

Too bad there wasn't more "vacillating" and "equivocating" and "revising" back when we had a bold, decisive leader doing whatever his neocon mentors told him to do.
