obama address afghanistan time
Is Obama confused about Foreign Affairs?
Following on from last week’s decision to scrap the missile defence shield in eastern Europe, it adds to the impression that Mr Obama is struggling to cope with the complexities of foreign affairs. This week he will address the UN General Assembly and chair a meeting of the Security Council. He must take the opportunity to clarify his war aims in Afghanistan – and dispel the dangerous confusion he has so carelessly created.
If not, could someone explain his strategy?

The President’s wobble will lead many in the alliance to conclude that they are right not to pull their weight. It will also embolden the Taliban and its al-Qaeda allies.
Apparently, his strategy is to keep young men and women in the armed services stranded their undermanned in Afghanistan until he pieces together some type of strategy that would allow his conscience to send other young men and women over. What could possibly go wrong with a plan like that?
If he were addressing anyone other than the UN, I would actually be concerned about how the meeting goes.
Peace
