I'm a little bit unhappy about Obama's approach to Afghanistan so far. He has made little or no progress in achieving his original aims and objectives. What these military leaders have proposed is more or less a compromise to eventually set up a stable government and leave, a stepping stone to his aim, but Obama has rejected it. Then why does he have these people around? They are the experts.

I hope he starts an open dialog towards a compromise with an aim to end the war within his tenure.

Do we really want any Stable government in there though? 

I'm not sure if your aware....

but Karazi rigged the elections so he would be reelected.

He may be setting himself up as dictator.  Obama understandably doesn't want to send a bunch of extra troops to help out and train an army that may be led by the next dictator of Afghanistan.  Such a move would only end up badly for us long term.  Removing one dictator to install another?  What would Afghanistan see as our legacy to them? 

Not to mention Karazi is pretty incompetant.  The minute we left Afghanistan would probably fall apart like a house of cards.

Karazi is a crook, incompetant leader and likely a would be dictator.

Obama doesn't need to put more troops in.  He has to threaten to pull them out.

So that Karazi will straighten up.
