Obama was elected a year ago. He became commander in chief > two months later. He then solemnly announced his own “comprehensive > new strategy” for Afghanistan seven months ago. And it was not an > off-the-cuff decision. “My administration has heard from our > military commanders, as well as our diplomats,” the president > assured us. “We’ve consulted with the Afghan and Pakistani > governments, with our partners and our NATO allies, and with other > donors and international organizations” and “with members of > Congress.”
