You say one thing like finding common ground then do noting to actually find said ground.

I don't have to work with him. IF I had that chance, I could IF we both were working for the betterment of the country and not just trying to push one agenda and name calling the other.

You are doing exactly that, name calling one, yet saying you want to find 'common ground', which I take common ground to mean 'what you want to happen', and you're not willing to listen to anything else.

It's very simple, the commander over there says, "we need more troops if we want to win." At that point you do 1 of 3 things... Dismiss him and put someone else in because you have no trust in him.... send troops immediately because you trust the commander's recommendation that it is winnable... or you withdraw and end the war.

You seriously think it's that simple? Down to 1-2-3? For someone who was 'in uniform' you truly have no understanding that things aren't that simple when peoples lives are on the line. To commanders more troops is always the answer, look at history, the fact is, it isn't as simple as you see it, if it were everything would end rather quickly and be done with.

I could live with either one of those 3. I cannot respect Obama's decision to politicize and wait months to make a decision.... either send in reinforcements and help those there or withdraw.... he shows no decisiveness as a president and in turn getting people killed, maimed and lowering moral.

And if he makes a reactionary decision he gets more people killed, maimed and lowers moral.
I can't believe you think it's just that easy, as simple as 1-2-3, I sure am glad you don't hold a position of power, who knows how many people would die on your watch. You are still doing nothing to find this 'common ground' you speak of so easily, which doesn't encourage anyone here to even attempt to find it, surely you can see that it isn't helping your cause to say one thing out of one side of your mouth, then contribute to the problem out of the other side.
