Making jokes is much easier and better for the polls though  . |

I cannot say what I really think, but then I couldn't say what I really thought of bush either
What are your qualifications to determine when a military decision "actually needs to be made?" |

I suspect it's when the conservative talking heads say it is. 
tulc(could be wrong though)

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things; Knows not the livid loneliness of fear, nor mountain hights where bitter joy can hear the sound of wings. How can life grant us boon of living, compensate for dull gray ugliness and pregnant hate unless we dare the soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay with courage to behold restless day, and count it fair.

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

dir="ltr"> they told me if I voted for John McCain that I would get a President like Bush that would violate the airspace and sovereignty of an allied nation with a military force to assassinate a foreign national of another allied country and then their dead body would be dumped in the ocean. and they were right.
I support the arts. |

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.
