I do not understand what I missed.
I am not sure there is a "right" decision and if there is a "right" decision we will never know because we can only take one course of action and will never know what the other course would have lead to. The decision regarding war is a difficult decision and a person can easily be "paralyzed" in the fog of "what if", while in that fog, things still happen, some of these things can be negative or you can get lucky. I think Obama is in that "fog". I think many failed to understand Bush because he seemed to act with certainty. He clearly bore the weight of his decisions, did not take them lightly nor did he lie, and he took full responsibility for his decisions. Right now the world is looking to Obama for leadership and all I am saying is that this is the most important issue, requires his full attention, and requires confident actions. He needs to lead. Even on the matter of all of the leaks within his chain of command, I think it shows the degree to which we need decisive leadership. Every leak points to a lack of leadership and a lack of decisiveness.
