Stay classy, Dave

The "Dean of the Washington Press Corps" David Broder of the Washington Post, making the case that it's he, not Bill Kristol, is the most awful columnist in America:

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

That's right, a man is openly arguing in a national newspaper that President Obama needstomakeadecisionrightfuckingnow on Afghanistan and that he doesn't care if that decision is wrong as long as a decision is made. Wow. Sure, the wrong decision will costs untold billions, thousands of lives of soldiers, ten of thousands of lives of Afghan civilians, and completely destroy any influence and ability to shape critical interests in one of the most important areas of the world, but David Broder has decided that he's tired of waiting to hear in what new way brown people are going to be blown up, he just wants to see them blown up NOW.

Classy. Though it's not as if the Obama Administration is actually debating a course. I think they've pretty much decided to do exactly what McChrystal wants and the only debate is over whether 39,999 troops makes it look like they got their way more than 40k does. But irrespective of that, dumping 40k soldiers into the area requires a lot of logistical planning, especially when you have to co-ordinate with other nations with armies there, the corrupt Afghan government, and are trying to make sure that Pakistan doesn't fuck you over. All of this is actually difficult and takes time. I know, organizing doesn't give you a war boner. Still, it's a much better plan than killkillnownowdiemuslimdiekillbloodwarejaculatekill. Just think of it this way: he's coming up with a plan to kill more brown people for the taxpayers dollar. Does that get you hard? I think I see your pants tenting. Alright Dave, keep up the good work.
