The Kenyan Obama has the perfect plan for his European constituents and one that they will assuredly embrace. The solution is to shed more American blood and waste more American treasure in violation of the long-standing tradition as encapsulated in the Monroe Doctrine. The Europeans are not committing any more troops and will not expend any effort on behalf of the U.S. so they are sure to embrace enthusiastically their ideal President. Why not? Everyone likes a good deal when they get something for nothing. Deutsche Welle even ran an article describing the Plan in such terms: "(Obama's) new strategy comes very close to the European ideas about the mission in Afghanistan," said German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
When will the U.S. leave Afghanistan?
No word on an exit strategy at all.
