Obviously, President Obama has not made any decision about how many, if any, troops will be staying in Afghanistan after 2014. As I mentioned here, the decision was late a month ago, but nothing seems to be happening, unless it’s being done secretly. (That seems a little unlikely given all the leaks we are seeing re Syria.)
Among the possible reasons for the delay are: he can’t figure it out (which I understand; it’s not easy); he doesn’t care (I hope that’s not it); or he hasn’t had enough time to get to it. Since there is nothing I can do about either of the first two, let me make a suggestion on the third, i.e., that he hasn’t had enough time to get to it: No more golf until he decides. That should motivate him!
