Dithering???

Did I hear it correctly? The President is dithering on sending troops to Afghanistan? We better hope he keeps dithering before making a hasty decision but one of importance none the less.

Perhaps the past administration and those saying go to Afghanistan should have dithered a few years back _ me included.

Had President Obama already made a decision to send additional troops to
Afghanistan, I hope all would have had the common sense to question such a hasty decision. Knowing that he has the final say to put our sons and daughters in harms way can not be an easy decision and it shouldn’t be. 

Yes there are those saying send the troops now we can not wait. They are probably the same voices who without doubt said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq(not including Saddam Hassan).

The President’s decision should not be politically motivate, though no matter what he decides it will be seen as political. Before making a decision the President must determine what the end goal will be.  Many countries before us have gone into this region and failed.  While we have the best of any troops, there is no need to send them where we are unable to achieve our goal.

Thinking long and hard before making a decision shows the methodical thought process which should be used before executing an important decision which will undoubtedly change the lives of thousands in America. Someone will not be coming home.
