With the recent developments in Afghanistan and the fact that there will be no runoff elections, Karzai retains the Presidency of his country - as if this was ever in doubt.

President Obama remains unflappable in his desire to take his time on deciding on more troops, however. His Press Secretary Gibbs announced that the canceled election would have no effect on Obama's decision and that it would be announced "in the coming weeks."

Aside from this just being disasterous to troop morale and public support of the war - not to mention the prosecution of the war and potential impact on the outcome, the President seems more concerned with political issues in that country.

He vowed to help the Afghan government clean up corruption. Don't we have need of that here? Shouldn't charity begin at home?
