Any doubts that Obama is about to fold on Afghanistan ??

I know the official word is that he is weighing a strategic course. Leave aside for now that he has been in office for almost 9 months during an ongoing war and is only now deciding upon strategy.

How hard would it be to simply bow to the request of your own appointed general who is calling for more troops. Also, he would have political cover to say that he deferred to the judgment of the trained military professionals.

Instead, I fear that the "strategy" being discussed is how to politically sell withdrawal defeat.
