What are President Obama's intentions in Afghanistan?
He told us 10 months ago, at the conclusion of an agonizing, weeks-long"I have two years with the public on this," Woodward quotes him as saying. And, summoning the ghost of Lyndon B. Johnson: "I'm not signing on to a failure. If what I proposed is not working, I'm not going to be like these other presidents and stick to it based on
my politics — my political security."
That sounds like a man who meant what he said.
For much of the past year, it's been difficult to determine exactly what Obama wants in Afghanistan. But it's now clearer than ever that what he
wants, above all, is to get out.
