Obama to announce Afgan decision on Dec. 1st? Really?

I am going to give our President the benefit of the doubt and hope he has made his decision and the new strategy is going into effect today. He had a "rigorous" meeting regarding the subject yesterday. If December 1st is the magical day that he will announce his decision, that has to mean he has made a decision. Our Generals on the ground made recommendations in August and he is going to tell us what his decision is on December 1st meaning he has dithered for 3-4 months.

Prediction: He knows today what his decision is, however he needs to give time to his speech writers and aids to come up with something glossy. His approval rating is sinking fast so this has to be a major victory for him. He has been so committed to healthcare and globetrotting that I do believe it has taken him this long because the war is not as high on his priority list as health care. Crazy but it is the only reason he would wait to give our troops what they need to win.
