Conservatives - Fuzzy on Commander in Chief Concept? Or Can't Accept This Commander?
Posted by David Shorr

Much can be debated about the difficult decision President Obama has just made. I'm really stunned by right-wing critiques that essentially deny the president's prerogative to make it. Take for instance, this column by the New York Post's Charles Hurt, which asks how dare the president not commit himself to the only course Hurt considers worth the courage of our troops. I can't read that line of critique without hearing an implied question about Obama's authority. For a more humorous treatment of this issue, of course, we thankfully have Stephen Colbert's send-up of Glenn Beck.

Very well written.I would like to say "Mr Obama told us during the campaign that he was going to pursue the war in Afghanistan. Did anyone think he would fight a war without troops?"
