While the president drags his feet on a decision for a potential surge in Afghanistan, his aides used the Sunday circuit to attempt to paint the Nobel Peace winner as a tough guy.

According to an Associated Press story featured in the Chicago Tribune:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will not commit more U.S. troops to Afghanistan until he is convinced that the central government can be a credible and effective U.S. partner, a senior White House aide said Sunday.

Obama’s hard line is interesting.  If the American people would take such a stance against our own government, perhaps things would get accomplished, since our own president and Congress are neither credible nor effective.
