Haven't we had enough of this?

Commentary By Ron Beasley

David Broder proves beyond all doubt that he is not just a senile old fool but a dangerous one at that.  In Enough Afghan debate he channels Dick Cheney and says:

The more President Obama examines our options in Afghanistan, the less he likes the choices he sees. But, as the old saying goes, to govern is to choose -- and he has stretched the internal debate to the breaking point.

It is evident from the length of this deliberative process and from the flood of leaks that have emerged from Kabul and Washington that the perfect course of action does not exist. Given that reality, the urgent necessity is to make a decision -- whether or not it is right.

Mr Broder - have you forgotten that making decisions whether they were right or wrong is how we got into the position where there are no good choices? I guess not.  Making decisions based on the rumblings in George W. Bush's gut and Dick Cheney's paranoid psychopathic mind hasn't  worked out very well - maybe some serious deliberation will work out better.  We can hope so anyway.
