Small Obama Rips Bush (Again), Continues Dithering on Afghanistan

Small Obama Rips Bush (Again), Continues Dithering on Afghanistan: "RUSH: Now, Obama's press conference today had nothing to do with Afghanistan, yet here's the first question from CBS Radio's White House correspondent, Mark Knoller.

KNOLLER: Mr. President, I suspect you don't want my colleagues and I to rely on leaks until next week. So I'd like to ask you about --

OBAMA: Why -- why stop now?

KNOLLER: Well, perhaps you'd like to help us set a new stage in our relationship by telling us where you stand on your decision on Afghanistan. You had what we were told was your final meeting last evening. Can you tell us how many more troops you'll be sending to Afghanistan, how you'll be paying for them, and whether you'll be announcing a timetable and/or exit strategy for them?

RUSH: And here's Obama's answer.

OBAMA: I will be making an, uh... an announcement to the American people about, uh, how we intend to move forward. Uh, I will be doing so shortly. After eight years, uhhh -- some of those years in which we did not have, I think, either the resources or the strategy to get the job done -- uh, it is my intention to finish the job. Uh, aaand, uh, I feel very confident that when the American people, uhhh, hear a clear rationale for what we're doing there and how we intend to, uhh, achieve our goals, uh, that they will be supportive."
