I will say I am happy for his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan ( since it appears we'll be there a while) and the fact he actually restated the main purpose for our being there. Hopefully, he meant it when he stated:

Quote:
it is still in America's vital national interest to "dismantle and destroy" al-Qaida terrorists and extremist allies. "I intend to finish the job,"
I am still disappointed it took this long to decide, with what was said above, the pledge of troops should have been made much earlier.

I'll wait and see before I give total praise for this decision and his commitment. I'm more of a "Let's see if you mean it" type than a "Woohooo.... now, your doing something I can get behind."
