Afghanistan: Take your time, Mr. President

I am the kind of guy who believes when you dead you be dead a long time.

Mr. President, if I had a family member in the service, I would want you to take as long as you want regarding sending more troops to Afghanistan.

Instead of E-mailing something to people regarding your on-going decision on the issue, I would like for you to carry it over to them by hand. (Takes longer.) You should eat all three meals a day with great fan fare (To keep your strength up) and perhaps a snack or two with a few friends (To keep your mind active) and you should do a whole bunch of reading and perhaps go visiting museums and go out side of the White House to theaters and concerts (To keep your morale up) and working up a few rounds of golf and before you know it, along with learning a few phrases in Madarin Chinese, it would be time to hit the campaign trail again for both yourself and your down ticket buddies.

Yes sir, Mr. President, you just take your own sweet time making that decision to send more troops to Afghanistan. I does not mind at all! You can call this “The BB method for making difficult decisions to go to war: A step by step approach!”

I proud I could help you out, Sir. Anytime.
As always,
BB
P.S. I don’t mean no harm, Mr. President, but perhaps the troops already in Afghanistan could form some sort of theatrical group or football team or something to entertain the Afghanistans ‘till a decision is made. At least the Afghanistans will know we don’t want to kill them no more.

Obama: Still Weeks to Go Before Decision on Afghanistan

Excerpt:
He also spoke about the toll of weighing life and death decisions.

And
"You just don't have a comparable set of circumstances -- with two wars, a financial crisis as bad as anything since 1933, a host of regional issues that have to be dealt with, a pandemic; you have a convergence of factors that have made this a difficult year, not so much for me, but for the American people. And so, absolutely that weighs on me, because whenever I visit Walter Reed or other military hospitals, I see the sacrifice young people are making. That is a heavy weight. But it's an extraordinary privilege, as well, and I wouldn't trade my job for anything."
