What are your qualifications to determine when a military decision "actually needs to be made?"

How can life grant us boon of living, compensate for dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate unless we dare the soul's dominion?

You are mistaken. That was the real GW Bush posing with the soldier.

Maybe when your generals bring you information and ask for a decision on how the course of the war should go?

Ignorance can be cured; stupid can't.
You are ignorant, but that isn't a bad thing. Knowing it means you can do something about it.

I think the cons are starting to be right on the Afghanistan-decision-thing.

At first it was great that an important decision was being made with thoughtful consideration rather then whim and a coin-flip...

...but it has dragged on too long. It is starting to look suspiciously like what I do when I want to postpone doing something I don't want to do...

What it looks like to me is that Obama kind of knows what he has to do but isn't really happy with it.
