Obama Dissatisfied With Afghanistan Options

Obama is dissatisfied with all the options currently on the table, and he wants all of his military and political advisors to get back to the drawing board.
On October 11 President Barack Obama officially demonstrated his opposition to all of the policies currently being levied for a new stance on Afghanistan.
Several weeks ago it was revealed that General Stanley McChrystal wanted anywhere between 40,000 and 80,000 additional troops for the Afghan front. For a time it seemed as if the president was all but certain to send more troops to the war-torn nation, the only question remaining was how many he would authorize.
Now however the president seems to have taken a stand on the issue. According to CNN, Obama is dissatisfied with all the options currently on the table, and he wants all of his military and political advisors to get back to the drawing board.
The coordinated opposition to the White House, largely coming from the Republican Party and its conservative base, will likely take time to point out yet another instance of indecision by President Obama. But the decision to try new avenues is probably the best choice available.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
